Cardiac surgery-Associated acute kidney injury - A narrative review
Perfusion. 2023 Oct 31:2676591231211503. doi: 10.1177/02676591231211503. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury (CSA-AKI) is a serious complication seen in approximately 20-30% of cardiac surgery patients. The underlying pathophysiology is complex, often involving both patient- and procedure related risk factors. In contrast to AKI occurring after other types of major surgery, the use of cardiopulmonary bypass comprises both additional advantages and challenges, including non-pulsatile flow, targeted blood flow and pressure as well as the ability to manipulate central venous pressure (...

The rare case of double valve surgery in a patient with factor VII deficiency
Perfusion. 2023 Oct 31:2676591231211502. doi: 10.1177/02676591231211502. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPerforming cardiac surgery on patients with bleeding diatheses poses significant challenges since these patients are at an increased risk for complications secondary to excessive bleeding. Despite its rarity, patients with factor VII (FVII) deficiency may require invasive procedures such as cardiac surgery. However, we lack guidelines on their pre-, peri-, and post-operative management. As FVII deficiency is rare, it seems unlikely to design and learn from large clinical studies. Instead, we need to base our clinical deci...

A comparison of the efficacy and safety between anticoagulation alone and combined with catheter-directed thrombolysis for treatment of pulmonary embolism on outcome: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Results thus confirmed that CDT reduced in-hospital, 30 days, 90 days and 1-year all-cause mortality in patients with sPE compared to AC, particularly in USAT subgroup. Nonetheless, CDT group was associated with a higher risk of minor bleeding.PMID:37902217 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231211753 (Source: Perfusion)

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOVERVIEW: Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) with persistent coma is a life-threatening condition associated with high mortality and poor neurological outcomes. The optimal timing for surgical intervention in these patients remains uncertain, and many patients are not eligible for surgery due to their poor prognosis.DESCRIPTION: In this case, a 53-year-old man with hypertension presented to the emergency department in a coma that had lasted for 9 hours. The patient was diagnosed with ATAAD and underwent the "Drum Towe...

Long-term outcomes of patients bridged to recovery with venoarterial extracorporeal life support
CONCLUSIONS: Patients discharged from the hospital after full myocardial recovery from VA-ECLS support without HRT should have close outpatient follow-up due to the risk of recurrent heart failure and increased mortality in these patients.PMID:37861303 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231206524 (Source: Perfusion)
