The authors noted that a potential limitation of the study is the higher dropout rate of 8.2% for patients randomized to receive surgery, which has been a consistent trend observed across other studies. Furthermore, a longer follow-up is needed to gain more complete information on the life cyc...
Whereas heparin does not interfere with the rate of t-PA inhi- bition by PAI-I, it accelerates the inhibition of thrombin by PAI-I and the formation of SDS- stable complexes between PAI-1 and thrombin, and thus leads to a mutual neutralization of both PAI-I and thrombin. In an ...
Likewise, in-hospital mortality rate did not differ significantly (p = 0.680) between both groups. Based on our data, sex has no impact on deep wound infection prevalence after cardiac surgery. Keywords: deep sternal wound infection; cardiac surgery; sex; VAC therapy ...
Survival and initiation of mechanical circulatory support were secondary outcomes. Results In this case series, 10 consecutive patients underwent DCD heart transplantation via the beating heart method. Ten of 10 recipients were male (100%), the mean (SD) age was 51.2 (13.8) years, ...
This cohort study examines the risk of hypertension over time in children who have received surgery for congenital heart disease.
is associated with a higher mortality, a more complicated hospital course with longer hospital stay, and a higher risk for hospital acquired infections [1]. Even slight increase in serum creatinine levels which happen in the postoperative setting has a significant reduction of survival rate and poor...
