Objectives: Our objective was to examine the results of ECMO post cardiotomy in Centro Hospitalar Universitário S. João (CHUSJ). Methods: Between 2011 and 2019, 13 patients were cannulated for refractory cardiogenic shock post-cardiotomy; 8 (61,5%) male and 5 (38,5%) female. Patients under 18 years old were excluded. Data was collected from hospital archives concerning preoperative comorbidities, open-heart sur...
Background: In selected cases, aortic valve repair (RVAo) is an alternative to prostesic aortic valve replacement. Aim: To compare mid-term survival, need of reoperation and echocardiographic findings associated with RVAo. Methods: Retrospective single-center cohort study including consecutive patients younger than 70 years-old, with non-stenotic aortic valve disease, who underwent RVAo between 2012 and 2017. A...
A fibrilação auricular (FA) é a arritmia com maior incidência no pós-operatório da cirurgia cardíaca. Na cirurgia de substituição valvular (CSV) ela ocorre em cerca de 64% dos indivíduos e na cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio (CRM) ela pode desencadear-se em 30-40% dos indivíduos. A sua incidência no pós-operatório pode ainda ser influenciada por fatores de risco pré e intraoperatórios. Estudar a incidê...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been described as the arrhythmia with higher incidence in postoperative period and follow-up of cardiac surgery. To study the incidence of AF after cardiac surgery and explore the relationship between this incidence and the main predictive factors.
