How to avoid problems in redo coronary artery bypass surgery

Journal of Cardiac Surgery
V R Machiraju

Abstract

The objective of my presentation is to discuss the various intra- and perioperative problems related to redo coronary artery bypass surgery so that we can minimize complications during surgery and improve the final outcomes. When a patient accepts redo cardiac surgery in spite of known higher morbidity and mortality, the patient strongly believes that he will come out of this operation successfully and enjoy several more years of life. Weintraub reported that redo cardiac surgery has higher mortality and morbidity; 5% in elective cases, 11% in urgent cases, and 16.4% in emergency cases. He and associates described that the female gender, a low ejection fraction (EF), and preoperative arrhythmias are significant risk factors. Lemmer and associates described poor postoperative functional results with the majority of patients having emergency repeat coronary artery revascularization developing recurrent ischemic syndrome within a short period of time. I am outlining the problems from our experience of 543 patients in the last five years.

Atrial Fibrillation

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.

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.

Brain Ischemia

Brain ischemia is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to the brain to meet metabolic demand. Discover the latest research on brain ischemia here.
