Abstract

Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement through partial upper sternotomy has been shown to reduce surgical trauma, and, supposedly, decrease postoperative pain, blood loss, and hospital stay. From October 1997 until November 2004, 506 patients received isolated aortic valve replacement, of which 232 underwent the minimal access J-sternotomy approach (group 1). The control group (group 2) consisted of 274 patients who underwent aortic valve replacements by median sternotomy. We retrospectively reviewed outcomes of the patients in the early follow-up period. In group 1 and group 2, respectively, early mortality was 2.6% (6 patients) and 4.4% (12 patients). The minimal access group had reduced aortic cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass times compared with conventional group: 61.8 +/- 16.6 versus 69.5 +/- 16.6 minutes (p < 0.05) and 88.8 +/- 23.2 versus 100.2 +/- 22.6 minutes (p < 0.05), respectively. Mean blood loss was lower in group 1 compared with group 2 (p < 0.05). Intensive care unit and hospital stays were shorter in the minimal access group: 2.1 +/- 2.5 versus 2.5 +/- 5.3 days (p = nonsignificant) and 10.8 +/- 7.1 versus 12.8 +/- 10.6 days (p < 0.05), respectively. Aortic valve replacement can be performed safely th...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.

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.
