Long-Term Impact Of Permanent Pacing After Mitral Valve Surgery: A Scoping Revi...
H. El Sherbini, Adham; Hasheminia, Amin; Soghrati, Nazanin; Kuchibhatla, Aparna; Elsherif, Salah; Abdel-Halim, Mohamed; Abu-Omar, Yasir; Pelletier, MarcBackground: Conduction disorders after mitral valve surgery (MVS) are frequent with a considerable percentage of patients requiring the implantation of a permanent pacemaker (PPM). This has been associated with prolonged hospital length of stay and increased resource utilization. In this scoping review, we consolidate the current evidence on the impact of PPM on late outcomes after MVS in terms of heart failure...
Orogastric Tube Use in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery, A Pilot Study
Paleczny, Sarah; Khoury, William; Hrycyshyn, Adriyan; Amador-Godoy, Yannis; Saha, Tarit; El-Diasty, MohammadObjectives: This pilot study investigated the potential impact of using orogastric tube (OGT) on the immediate post- operative outcomes in adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft procedures. Design: A prospective non-blinded randomised study. Setting: At a single University Hospital. Participants: Seventy-eight consecutive adult patients that underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery were in...
Atrial Arrhythmias Following Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy: A Comprehensive R...
Elsebaie, Abdelrahman; Enriquez, Victor Rafael Bucheli; Baranchuk, Adrian; Nahin, Marcelo Antonio; El-Diasty, MohammadChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) presents as a progressive vascular condition arising from previous episodes of acute pulmonary embolism, contributing to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is the gold-standard surgical treatment for CTEPH; however, it may be associated with postoperative sequelae, including atrial arrhythmias (AAs). This co...
The Impact Of Active Chest Tube Clearance Technology On Surgical Outcomes After...
Ahmad, Basil; Yogathasan, Vithusha; Meng, Eric; Khoury, William; M. Alakhtar, Ali; Fernandez, Angel-Luis; El-Diasty, MohammadObjective: Active chest tube clearance technology (ACT) systems were introduced to improve the patency of chest tubes and to reduce the potential complications associated with inadequate mediastinal blood drainage after cardiac surgical procedures. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of ACT on the incidence of chest tube clogging, retained blood syndromes (RBS), re-exploration for bleeding, and th...
Left Atrial Myxoma Infected With Fusobacterium Nucleatum
Abuelo, José M.; García Carro, Javier; Caneiro, Javier; El-Diasty, Mohammad; Fernandez Gonzalez, Angel LuisCardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumours in adults. Clinical presentation is variable, with few cases of infected myxomas reported in the literature. We describe a rare case of a 63-year-old patient who presented with splenic abscesses and a left atrial mass suggestive of emboligen myxoma. The patient underwent a successful emergency sur- gical excision of the atrial mass followed by splenect...
