The European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation (EuroSCORE) is a commonly
used risk score for operative mortality following cardiac surgery. We aimed to conduct a …

OBJECTIVE: This study was planned to evaluate the outcome of patients≥ 80 years old
undergoing isolated conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR). METHODS: Systematic …

BACKGROUND: An elevated preoperative white blood cell count has been associated with
a worse outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Leukocyte subtypes, and …

Background Current data suggest that mortality after noncardiac surgery may be associated
with persistent hypotension and the cumulative duration of low processed …

Background Although depression and anxiety have been implicated in risk for major
adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), a theoretical approach to …

Objective: To date, no common risk stratification system is available to predict the risk of
surgical or percutaneous myocardial revascularisation in patients with coronary artery …

BACKGROUND: Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) is a major
postoperative complication. Although some early recovery is common, its effect on long-term …

Background Despite modern advances in intensive care medicine and surgical techniques,
mortality rates in cardiac surgical patients are still about 3%. Considerable efforts were …

Objectives: The armamentarium of cardiac surgery continues to expand, and the cardiac
intensivist must be familiar with a broad spectrum of procedures and their specific …

Abstract Aims To assess EuroSCORE performance in predicting in-hospital mortality in on-
pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting …
