This meta-analysis compared the midterm clinical outcomes of reimplantation versus remodeling techniques for valve-sparing aortic root replacement in patients with connective tissue disorders, finding
Artificial intelligence (AI) applied to electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation shows high accuracy for early detection of valvular heart diseases (VHDs), based on a meta-analysis of
In a retrospective cohort study of 542 elective cardiac surgery patients, acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) did not significantly reduce perioperative red blood cell transfusion
Research presented at The Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ 2024 Annual Meeting revealed that multi-arterial grafting (MAG) for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) results in
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs, which include protocolized evidence-based perioperative interventions, have been effective in reducing surgical stress, promoting quicker recovery, and improving
This study aimed to improve the early prediction of prolonged postoperative mechanical ventilation (>24 hours) after cardiac surgery. It involved analyzing data from the
This study aimed to develop a dynamic predictive model for cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) by combining preoperative and intraoperative risk factors,
This study evaluated the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) in myocardial protection and postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, using data
This study compared two fast-track chest tube removal protocols in cardiac surgery patients, focusing on risks of pleural or pericardial effusions, opioid requirements, respiratory
