Antiplatelet use in interventional cardiology. (1/261)

Thrombosis within the target vessel is one of the most feared complications associated with coronary intervention, as it is often associated with severe adverse clinical sequelae. This thrombosis is mediated via the activation and aggregation of platelets and therefore considerable effort has been directed at ways of inhibiting platelet function. It is now mandatory to consider the use of two and often three different antiplatelet agents, particularly when intracoronary stents are inserted. Using these regimes, many of the adverse clinical outcomes associated with platelet activation can be reduced.  (+info)

Comparison of two different approaches for internal jugular vein cannulation in surgical patients. (2/261)

We compared the anterior approaches of internal jugular venous cannulation in 200 surgical patients, vis-a-vis the ease of cannulation and threading, number of attempts required and the incidence of complications following each route. The technique of posterior approach used in this study was found to have a higher rate of success in cannulation and lower rate of complication such as carotid puncture. The posterior approach was also a safe alternate route in obese or short necked patients.  (+info)

Clinical outcomes of point-of-care testing in the interventional radiology and invasive cardiology setting. (3/261)

BACKGROUND: Point-of-care testing (POCT) can provide rapid test results, but its impact on patient care is not well documented. We investigated the ability of POCT to decrease inpatient and outpatient waiting times for cardiovascular procedures. METHODS: We prospectively studied, over a 7-month period, 216 patients requiring diagnostic laboratory testing for coagulation (prothrombin time/activated partial thromboplastin time) and/or renal function (urea nitrogen, creatinine, sodium, and potassium) before elective invasive cardiac and radiologic procedures. Overall patient management and workflow were examined in the initial phase. In phase 2, we implemented POCT but utilized central laboratory results for patient management. In phase 3, therapeutic decisions were based on POCT results. The final phase, phase 4, sought to optimize workflow around the availability of POCT. Patient wait and timing of phlebotomy, availability of laboratory results, and therapeutic action were monitored. Split sampling allowed comparability of POCT and central laboratory results throughout the study. RESULTS: In phase 1, 44% of central laboratory results were not available before the scheduled time for procedure (n = 135). Mean waiting times (arrival to procedure) were 188 +/- 54 min for patients who needed renal testing (phase 2; n = 14) and 171 +/- 76 min for those needing coagulation testing (n = 24). For patients needing renal testing, POCT decreased patient wait times (phases 3 and 4 combined, 141 +/- 52 min; n = 18; P = 0.02). For patients needing coagulation testing, wait times improved only when systematic changes were made in workflow (phase 4, 109 +/- 41 min; n = 12; P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Although POCT has the potential to provide beneficial patient outcomes, merely moving testing from a central laboratory to the medical unit does not guarantee improved outcomes. Systematic changes in patient management may be required.  (+info)

Prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis after cardiovascular surgery and its effect on surgical site infections and antimicrobial resistance. (4/261)

BACKGROUND: Despite evidence supporting short antibiotic prophylaxis (ABP), it is still common practice to continue ABP for more than 48 hours after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS: To compare the effect of short (<48 hours) versus prolonged (>48 hours) ABP on surgical site infections (SSIs) and acquired antimicrobial resistance, we conducted an observational 4-year cohort study at a tertiary-care center. An experienced infection control nurse performed prospective surveillance of 2641 patients undergoing CABG surgery. The main exposure was the duration of ABP, and main outcomes were the adjusted rate of SSI and the isolation of cephalosporin-resistant enterobacteriaceae and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (acquired antibiotic resistance). Adjustment for confounding was performed by multivariable modeling. A total of 231 SSIs (8.7%) occurred after a median of 16 days, including 93 chest-wound infections (3.5%) and 13 deep-organ-space infections (0. 5%). After 1502 procedures using short ABP, 131 SSIs were recorded, compared with 100 SSIs after 1139 operations with prolonged ABP (crude OR, 1.0; CI, 0.8 to 1.3). After adjustment for possible confounding, prolonged ABP was not associated with a decreased risk of SSI (adjusted OR, 1.2; CI, 0.8 to 1.6) and was correlated with an increased risk of acquired antibiotic resistance (adjusted OR, 1.6; CI, 1.1 to 2.6). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings confirm that continuing ABP beyond 48 hours after CABG surgery is still widespread; however, this practice is ineffective in reducing SSI, increases antimicrobial resistance, and should therefore be avoided.  (+info)

Aortic valve repair for adult congenital heart disease: A 22-year experience. (5/261)

BACKGROUND: Aortic valve-preserving procedures have resulted in excellent outcomes in selected patients, particularly those with normal aortic valve leaflets and dilated aortic roots. However, several congenital heart lesions are associated with abnormal aortic valve leaflets. The long-term results of aortic valve repair for these lesions are not well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS: We reviewed the clinical records of 54 adult (age >18 years) patients who underwent repair of congenital abnormalities of the aortic valve between 1976 and September 1999. Follow-up data were available on 52 (96%) patients (mean 50+/-67 months, range 1 to 266). Patients underwent repair at a mean age of 34+/-14 years with associated diagnoses of subaortic stenosis (n=10), ventricular septal defect with prolapsing aortic valve (n=17), bicuspid aortic valve (n=23), sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (n=10), and bacterial endocarditis (n=2). There was 1 operative death (1.9%) and 3 late deaths. Survival at 5 and 10 years was 98+/-2% and 74+/-12%, respectively. Freedom from reoperation was 74+/-9% and 51+/-15% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. The presence of a ventricular septal defect predicted failure of valve repair (59% versus 22%, P:=0.01). A bicuspid aortic valve, subaortic stenosis, or the requirement for mitral valve surgery did not affect outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Aortic valve repair in adult patients with congenital heart disease can be performed with minimal morbidity and mortality rates. The medium-term results of repair are acceptable, regardless of valvular or associated pathology. However, only 31 patients (57%) demonstrated long-term competence of the aortic valve, suggesting that most adult patients with congenital aortic valve disease will eventually require aortic valve replacement.  (+info)

Bioengineered cardiac grafts: A new approach to repair the infarcted myocardium? (6/261)

BACKGROUND: The myocardium is unable to regenerate because cardiomyocytes cannot replicate after injury. The heart is therefore an attractive target for tissue engineering to replace infarcted myocardium and enhance cardiac function. We tested the feasibility of bioengineering cardiac tissue within novel 3-dimensional (3D) scaffolds. METHODS AND RESULTS: We isolated and grew fetal cardiac cells within 3D porous alginate scaffolds. The cell constructs were cultured for 4 days to evaluate viability and morphology before implantation. Light microscopy revealed that within 2 to 3 days in culture, the dissociated cardiac cells form distinctive, multicellular contracting aggregates within the scaffold pores. Seven days after myocardial infarction, rats were randomized to biograft implantation (n=6) or sham-operation (n=6) into the myocardial scar. Echocardiography study was performed before and 65+/-5 days after implantation to assess left ventricular (LV) remodeling and function. Hearts were harvested 9 weeks after implantation. Visual examination of the biograft revealed intensive neovascularization from the neighboring coronary network. Histological examination revealed the presence of myofibers embedded in collagen fibers and a large number of blood vessels. The specimens showed almost complete disappearance of the scaffold and good integration into the host. Although control animals developed significant LV dilatation accompanied by progressive deterioration in LV contractility, in the biograft-treated rats, attenuation of LV dilatation and no change in LV contractility were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Alginate scaffolds provide a conducive environment to facilitate the 3D culturing of cardiac cells. After implantation into the infarcted myocardium, the biografts stimulated intense neovascularization and attenuated LV dilatation and failure in experimental rats compared with controls. This strategy can be used for regeneration and healing of the infarcted myocardium.  (+info)

Socioeconomic status is an important determinant of the use of invasive procedures after acute myocardial infarction in New York State. (7/261)

BACKGROUND: Patient and hospital characteristics influence the use of invasive cardiac procedures. Whether socioeconomic status (SES) has an influence that is independent of these other determinants is unclear. The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of household income as a measure of SES on the use of invasive cardiac procedures among a large group of patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analyzed administrative discharge data from 231 nonfederal acute care hospitals in New York State that involved 28 698 black or white inpatients with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code 410.XX in the principal diagnosis position between January 1 and December 31, 1995. Household income was derived from postal ZIP codes and census data. The use of cardiac catheterization, PTCA, CABG, and any revascularization procedure was examined across groups stratified by income. Patients who resided in lower-income neighborhoods were more often female or black, had a higher prevalence of coexistent illness, had a higher use of Medicaid insurance, and were less often admitted to urban hospitals or hospitals that provide on-site CABG and PTCA. Crude and adjusted odds ratios for catheterization, PTCA, CABG, and any revascularization procedure were related to income in a graded fashion. After adjustment, patients in the highest quintile of income were 22% more likely to undergo catheterization, 74% more likely to undergo PTCA, 48% more likely to undergo CABG, and 76% more likely to undergo any revascularization procedure than were patients in the lowest quintile. The difference in cardiac catheterization did not fully account for income-based differences in revascularization, because income remained a significant determinant of revascularization after accounting for whether a catheterization was performed. Even among patients treated in hospitals that provide on-site CABG and PTCA, income was a significant determinant of procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Lower-income patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction are more often female or black, have more coexisting illnesses, and are less often admitted to urban hospitals or hospitals that provide CABG and PTCA. Even after adjustment for these and other factors, lower income is a negative predictor of procedure use.  (+info)

Tetralogy of Fallot: transannular and right ventricular patching equally affect late functional status. (8/261)

BACKGROUND: In tetralogy of Fallot, transannular patching is suspected to be responsible for late right ventricular dilatation. METHODS AND RESULTS: In our institution, 191 patients survived a tetralogy of Fallot repair between 1964 and 1984. Transannular patching was used in 99 patients (52%), patch closure of a right ventriculotomy in 35, and direct closure of a right ventriculotomy in 55. Two had a transatrial-transpulmonary approach. To identify predictive factors of adverse long-term outcome related to right ventricular dilatation, the following events were investigated: cardiac death, reoperation for symptomatic right ventricular dilatation, and NYHA class II or III by Cox regression analysis. Mean follow-up reached 22+/-5 years. The 30-year survival was 86+/-5%. Right ventricular patching, whether transannular or not, was the most significant independent predictor of late adverse event (improvement chi(2)=16.6, P:<0.001). In patients who had direct closure, the ratio between end-diastolic right and left ventricular dimensions on echocardiography was smaller (0.61+/-0.017 versus 0. 75+/-0.23, P:=0.007), with a smaller proportion presenting severe pulmonary insufficiency (9% versus 40%, P:=0.005). There was no difference between right ventricular and transannular patching concerning late outcome (log rank P: value=0.6), right ventricular size (0.70+/-0.28 versus 0.76+/-0.26, P:=0.4), or incidence of severe pulmonary insufficiency (30% versus 43%, P:=0.3). CONCLUSIONS: In tetralogy of Fallot, transannular patching does not result in a worse late functional outcome than patching of an incision limited to the right ventricle. Both are responsible for a similar degree of long-term pulmonary insufficiency and right ventricular dilatation.  (+info)

Cardiovascular surgical procedures refer to surgeries performed on the heart and blood vessels to treat various cardiovascular conditions. These procedures may involve repairing or replacing damaged heart valves, performing coronary artery bypass surgery, repairing or replacing aortic aneurysms, or treating other conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular surgeons are medical professionals who specialize in performing these types of procedures and are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of cardiovascular conditions.

Postoperative complications are adverse events that occur after a surgical procedure. They can range from minor issues, such as bruising or discomfort, to more serious problems, such as infection, bleeding, or organ damage. Postoperative complications can occur for a variety of reasons, including surgical errors, anesthesia errors, infections, allergic reactions to medications, and underlying medical conditions. They can also be caused by factors such as poor nutrition, dehydration, and smoking. Postoperative complications can have serious consequences for patients, including prolonged hospital stays, additional surgeries, and even death. Therefore, it is important for healthcare providers to take steps to prevent postoperative complications and to promptly recognize and treat them if they do occur.

Ambulatory surgical procedures, also known as outpatient procedures, are surgical procedures that are performed on patients who are not admitted to the hospital overnight. These procedures are typically less invasive and have a lower risk of complications compared to inpatient procedures. Ambulatory surgical procedures can be performed in a variety of settings, including ambulatory surgery centers, hospital outpatient departments, and physician offices. They are often used for procedures that do not require a prolonged recovery period, such as hernia repair, cataract surgery, and certain types of orthopedic procedures. Before undergoing an ambulatory surgical procedure, patients will typically undergo a pre-operative evaluation to assess their overall health and determine if they are suitable candidates for the procedure. They will also be given instructions on how to prepare for the procedure, including fasting and taking any necessary medications. After the procedure, patients will typically be monitored for a short period of time in a recovery area before being discharged. They will be given instructions on how to care for their incision and any other post-operative instructions.

Cardiac surgical procedures refer to a range of surgical techniques used to treat various heart conditions. These procedures are typically performed by cardiothoracic surgeons and may involve the use of minimally invasive techniques or open surgery. Some common cardiac surgical procedures include: 1. Coronary artery bypass surgery: This procedure involves using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to bypass a blocked or narrowed coronary artery, which can improve blood flow to the heart muscle. 2. Valve replacement or repair: This procedure involves replacing or repairing damaged heart valves, which can improve blood flow through the heart. 3. Heart transplant: This procedure involves replacing a damaged or diseased heart with a healthy heart from a donor. 4. Ablation: This procedure involves using heat, cold, or radiofrequency energy to destroy abnormal heart tissue that is causing irregular heart rhythms. 5. Maze procedure: This procedure involves creating a series of small cuts in the heart to create a maze-like pattern that can help prevent abnormal heart rhythms. 6. Heart bypass surgery: This procedure involves using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body to bypass a blocked or narrowed coronary artery, which can improve blood flow to the heart muscle. These procedures are typically performed under general anesthesia and may require a hospital stay of several days or more. The specific procedure and recovery time will depend on the individual patient's condition and the type of surgery performed.
