Conclusion: The axillary artery is a safe route for arterial cannulation, and the axillary route does not cause an increase in postoperative mortality and morbidity.

Conclusion: Biatrial surgical technique, donor age and hypertension were determined as significant predictors of temporary pacemaker insertion in the orthotopic heart transplantation. Atrioyentricular block, left bundle ...

Our results indicate that the use of artificial neochordae implantation as an adjunct procedure to annuloplasty leads to effective and durable repair in comparison with conventional techniques for treating tricuspid regurgitation.

Conclusion: Axillary artery cannulation is useful to decrease the operation time and use lesser degrees of hypothermia. Patients have less intensive care and hospital stays and also pulmonary and infectious complications ...

This meta-analysis examined the prognosis of patients who were found to have mild to moderate functional tricuspid regurgitation during mitral valve operations. Overall, this meta-analysis included 2,488 patients in 10 ...

Conclusion: Despite anatomical advantages and acceptable mid-phase mortality in patients with high- or medium-risk for open surgery, EVAR did not exhibit a quality of life superiority over open surgery in terms of physical ...

Conclusion: Despite the lower morbidity and mortality in the off-pump group, the rate of target vessel bypass grafting was lower. Off-pump technique may be considered as a safer option for cardiopulmonary bypass in the ...

Conclusion: Based on the results of our study we suggest that even though an appropriate segment for anastomosis is available proximal to the crux of the RCA, right posterior descending artery (PDA) should be preferred for ...

Conclusion: Intraoperative NIRS usage in the patients undergoing CABG with carotid artery disease might be useful due to its postoperative positive effects on the cognitive functions.

Conclusion: Membrane oxygenators with integrated arterial filters do not seem to offer a significant advantage over those without integrated arterial filters in terms of neurocognitive outcomes in patients undergoing ...
