Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, Northwestern University Feinberg School Medicine, Chicago, Illinois.
Background: An anomalous left vertebral artery (aLVA) can complicate aortic arch surgery. We examined the safety of various aLVA revascularization strategies during open total arch replacement.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 92 patients undergoing total arch replacement from January 2018 to May 2023 and identified 11 patients with aLVA.
Remote Perioperative Monitoring in Adult Cardiac Surgery: The Impact on 1000 Consecutive Patients.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Background: Our remote patient monitoring (RPM) program for adult cardiac surgery patients aims to remove barriers to access, provide continuity of expert care, and increase their time-at-home. The RPM program integrates novel biosensors, an application for audiovisual visits, messaging, biometric data tracking, patient-reported outcomes, and scheduling with the aim of reducing postoperative length of stay and 30-day readmissions, while simultaneously increasing the rate of patients discharged to home.
Methods: Our institutional database was utilized for this retrospective review of 1000 consecutive RPM patients who underwent coronary artery bypass, valve, and coronary artery bypass + valve, at 3 hospitals from July 2019 through April 2023.
