Abstract

A very high percentage of patients submitted to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) develop symptomatic aortic disease requiring surgery upon ageing. The surgical risk of the redo procedure is controversial. We describe our recent experience with patients submitted to this surgery under such conditions. From July 1999 to July 2010, 51 patients (mean age, 70.3 ± 7.0 years, 86.3% male) submitted to CABG previously required aortic valve surgery (AVS). The mean interval between the surgeries was 7.1 ± 3.9 years. Twenty-one patients (41.2%) had also undergone AVS during the first surgery [12 patients (57.7%) had valve replacement and 9 patients (42.8%) had valvuloplasty]. At presentation, 51.0% were in New York Heart Association Class III/IV and the standard and logistic EuroSCOREs were 10.1 ± 2.5 and 20.9 ± 16.5%, respectively. Aortic valve replacement was performed in 48 patients (94.1%). Two patients had undergone a surgery for the closure of a peri-prosthetic leak and one patient a valvuloplasty. Thirteen patients (25.5%) needed to undergo additional cardiac procedures, including root enlargement (three patients, 5.9%). Valve surgery was performed with non-dissection of the internal thoracic artery graft, when patented, and a...Continue Reading

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
