Objective: Haematological and biochemical measurements are performed routinely before surgery to exclude organ malfunction and blood cell and coagulation abnormalities. We aimed to test routinely obtained laboratory data as factors predicting operative risk. Methods: Between 1996 and 2003, 2198 patients underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) (908 of them with concomitant CABG) in our institute....
Background and Objective:. The number of older patients undergoing cardiac surgery is steadily increasing. In the year 2000, 37% of all patients who underwent a cardiac operation in Germany were 70 years. Looking at data from our institution, we analyzed the impact of age on postoperative events and mortality in cardiac surgery. Patients and Methods:. Data from 7,048 patients who underwent cardiac...
Abstract. Due to demographic changes in average life expectancy, the age of patients undergoing cardiac surgery is increasing. We have reviewed the short- and long-term outcome after aortic valve replacement with or without concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting in patients over 80years of age. From 1 January 1995 until 30 June 1999, 114 patients (83 women and 31 men, 8089years of age, 82.82...
Der Bevölkerungsanteil der 80-und über 80jährigen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zeigt eine steigende Tendenz. 1996 wurden insgesamt 87 372 Patienten in Deutschland mit der Herz-Lungen-Maschine operiert. Hiervon waren 2383 (2,7%) 80 Jahre alt oder älter. Aufgrund der limitierten Lebenserwartung wird die arterielle Revaskularisation in diesem Altersbereich kontrovers diskutiert. Wir haben deshalb...
