The impact of obesity on outcomes in patients receiving extracorporeal life support

Nathaniel Christian‐Miller, Joseph Hadaya, Morcos Nakhla, Yas Sanaiha, more

Artificial Organs > 44 > 11 > 1184 - 1191

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) has been increasingly utilized to manage cardiac and pulmonary dysfunction. The impact of obesity on outcomes of ECLS is poorly defined. The purpose of the study was to compare in‐hospital mortality, resource use, complications, and readmissions in obese versus non‐obese patients receiving ECLS. We performed a retrospective cohort study of all adult ECLS patients...

Donor history of malignancy: A limited risk for heart transplant recipients

Sarah E. Rudasill, Amit Iyengar, Yas Sanaiha, Habib Khoury, more

Clinical Transplantation > 34 > 2 > n/a - n/a

Organ donor contraindications are frequently reassessed for impact on recipient outcomes in attempt to meet demand for transplantation. This study retrospectively analyzed the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) registry for adult heart transplants from 1987 to September 2016 to characterize the impact of donor malignancy history in heart transplantation. Kaplan‐Meier estimates illustrated 10‐year...

Financial and clinical outcomes of extracorporeal mechanical support

Ryan Chiu, Eric Pillado, Sohail Sareh, Kim De La Cruz, more

Journal of Cardiac Surgery > 32 > 3 > 215 - 221

BACKGROUND Over the past decade, extracorporeal mechanical support (ECMO) has been increasingly utilized in respiratory failure and cardiogenic shock. There is a need for assessing clinical and financial outcomes of ECMO use. This study presents our institution's experience with veno‐arterial ECMO (VA‐ECMO) over a 9‐year period. METHODS A retrospective review of our institution's ECMO database...

Use of preoperative aspirin in combined coronary and valve operations

Rustin Kashani, Cayley Bowles, Sohail Sareh, William Toppen, more

Surgery > 2016 > 160 > 6 > 1612-1618

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between preoperative aspirin use and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing combined coronary artery bypass grafting and valve operations.All combined coronary artery bypass grafting and valve procedures from 2008 to 2015 at our institution were identified. After exclusions, patients were stratified according to those that received preoperative...

Use of digital health kits to reduce readmission after cardiac surgery

Imani McElroy, Sohail Sareh, Allen Zhu, Gabrielle Miranda, more

Journal of Surgical Research > 2016 > 204 > 1 > 1-7

Unintended rehospitalizations after surgical procedures represent a large percentage of readmissions and have been associated with increased morbidity and cost of care. Beginning in 2017, Medicare will expand diagnostic categories subject to financial penalties for excess postoperative readmissions to include coronary revascularization procedures. Arrhythmias and pulmonary complications comprise the...

Predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation using CHA2DS2-VASc scores

Rustin G. Kashani, Sohail Sareh, Bradley Genovese, Christina Hershey, more

Journal of Surgical Research > 2015 > 198 > 2 > 267-272

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most frequent complication of cardiac surgery and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Pharmacologic prophylaxis is the main method of preventing POAF but needs to be targeted to patients at high risk of developing POAF. The CHA₂DS₂-VASc scoring system is a clinical guideline for assessing ischemic stroke risk in patients with atrial...

CHADS2 score predicts atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery

Sohail Sareh, William Toppen, Laith Mukdad, Nancy Satou, more

Journal of Surgical Research > 2014 > 190 > 2 > 407-412

Atrial fibrillation (AF) following cardiac surgery portends higher morbidity and increased health expenditure. Although many anatomic and patient risk factors have been identified, a simple clinical scoring system to identify high-risk patients is lacking. The CHADS ₂ score is widely used to predict the risk of stroke in patients with AF. We assessed the utility of this scoring algorithm in...
