Introduction: Cardiac disease is associated with a risk of death, both by the cardiac condition and by comorbidities. The waiting time for surgery begins with the onset of symptoms and includes referral, completion of the diagnosis and surgical waiting list (SWL). This study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected surgical capacity and patients’ morbidities. Methods: The cohort includes 1914 ...
Objectives: Identify risk factors for major perioperative complications (MPC) after anatomical lung resection for NonSmall-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and establish a scoring system. Methods: Single center retrospective study of all consecutive patients diagnosed with NSCLC submitted to anatomical lung resection from 2015 to 2019 (N=564). Exclusion criteria: previous lung surgery, concomitant non-lung cancer relat...
Aims: The aims of this study were to analyze early and late outcomes of TVS and identify predictors of short and long- term poor prognosis. Methods: Single centre retrospective study with 130 patients who underwent TVS between 2007 and 2020. Most of the patients were female (72.3%), mean age of 64.4 years; 61.1% were in New York Heart Association class III/IV, with a EuroSCORE II of 7.5%. Univariable and Multiv...
Objectives: The goal of this study is to establish the relation between aortic bio prosthesis, patient prosthesis mismatch (PPM) and short-term mortality and morbidity as well as and long-term mortality. Methods: This is a single center retrospective study with 812 patients that underwent isolated stented biologic aortic valve replacement between 2007 and 2016. The projected indexed orifice area was calculated ...
Objectives: Compare the incidence of Postoperative atrial fibrillation (PAF) after anatomical lung resection for Non- Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) following open surgery versus VATS. Methods: Single center retrospective study of all consecutive patients diagnosed with NSCLC submitted to anatomical lung resection from 2015 to 2019 (N=564). Exclusion criteria: prior atrial fibrillation, previous lung surgery, c...
