Outcomes of cardiac surgery after mediastinal radiation therapy: A single ‐center experience
ConclusionThis study shows that cardiac surgery after mediastinal radiotherapy is associated with increased short ‐ and long‐term mortality when compared to preoperative mortality risks predicted by the Euroscore II. Surgery‐related events caused all short‐term mortality cases, while malignancy‐related events were the main cause of death during the follow‐up. Mortality was higher in patients with a previous stroke and a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate.
