Background: It has been known that cardiac surgery induces an oxidative stress. The persistent oxidative stress during reperfusion may lead to depressed myocardial function resulting in low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) necessitating inotropic or intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation support. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) is a measurement of oxidative stress in tissues.

We report a case of unexpected malfunction of prosthetic mitral leaflets, discovered by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) immediately after implantation, due to selection of an inappropriate size of prosthesis; the problem was amended immediately by surgical revision. The subject was a 48-year-old man admitted for mitral valve replacement because of severe mitral stenosis. He had undergone mitral commissurotomy 21 years previously.

Background: Cardioplegic arrest induces anaerobic myocardial metabolism with a net production of lactate from glycolysis. However, persistent lactate release during reperfusion suggests a delayed recovery of normal aerobic metabolism and may lead to depressed myocardial function necessitating inotropic or intraaortic balloon pump support (low output syndrome [LOS]). We examined the relation between perioperative myocardial metabolism and postoperative clinical outcomes in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).
