Percutaneous Lead Extraction in Infection of Cardiac Implantable
Electronic Devices: a Systematic Review
Introduction: In the last two decades, the increased number of implants of cardiac
implantable electronic devices has been accompanied by an increase in
complications, especially infection. Current recommendations for the
appropriate treatment of cardiac implantable electronic devices-related
infections consist of prolonged antibiotic therapy associated with complete
device extraction. The purpose of this study was to analyze the importance
of percutaneous extraction in the treatment of these devices infections.Methods: A systematic review search was performed in the PubMed, BVS, C...

Use of Doppler Ultrasound for Saphenous Vein Mapping to Obtain Grafts
for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Introduction: The great saphenous vein is widely used as a graft in coronary artery bypass
grafting surgery. Complications due to saphenous vein harvesting can be
minimized when using ultrasonography mapping and marking.Objective: To analyze by clinical trial the use of vascular ultrasonography to map the
saphenous vein in coronary artery bypass grafting to determine viability and
dissection site.Methods: A total of 151 consecutive patients submitted to coronary artery bypass
surgery with the use of the great saphenous vein as a graft were selected
for this prospective study. They ...

On-Pump Beating/Non-Beating CABG in Stable Angina Have Similar
Outcomes
Objective: On pump beating/non-beating coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) has been
compared in patients with unstable angina and/or severe left ventricular
dysfunction. There is scarce evidence regarding the beneficial use of
on-pump beating CABG in patients with stable angina and normal left
ventricular function. Our aim was to study the postoperative results using
both techniques in this group of patients.Methods: One thousand one hundred and forty-five patients with stable angina underwent
on-pump isolated CABG in Uruguay from 2011 to 2015. Patients were grouped
into be...

Association of Oscillatory Ventilation during Cardiopulmonary Test to
Clinical and Functional Variables of Chronic Heart Failure
Patients
Objective: The aim of this study is to characterize the presence of exercise oscillatory
ventilation (EOV) and to relate it with other cardiopulmonary exercise test
(CET) responses and clinical variables.Methods: Forty-six male patients (age: 53.1 ±13.6 years old; left ventricular
ejection fraction [LVEF]: 30±8%) with heart failure were recruited to
perform a maximal CET and to correlate the CET responses with clinical
variables. The EOV was obtained according to Leite et al. criteria and
VE/VCO2> 34 and peak VO2 (Source: Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Thrombocytopenia After Aortic Valve Replacement: Comparison Between
Sutureless Perceval S Valve and Perimount Magna Ease
Bioprosthesis
Introduction: The incidence of postoperative thrombocytopenia after aortic valve
replacement (AVR) with the Perceval S Sutureless bioprosthesis remains
unclear. The aim of this study was to report thrombocytopenia associated
with the use of sutureless AVR.Methods: The data was collected retrospectively for patients who had isolated AVR with
sutureless Perceval S valve (Group A: 72 patients) and was compared with
patients who underwent isolated sutured AVR with Perimount Magna Ease
Bioprosthesis (Group B: 101 patients) in our institution between June 2014
and January 2017.Res...

Outcomes After Surgical Resection of Primary Non-Myxoma Cardiac
Tumors
Objective: Primary cardiac tumors are rare lesions with different histological type. We
reviewed our 17 years of experience in the surgical treatment and clinical
results of primary non-myxoma cardiac tumors.Methods: Between July 2000 and February 2017, 21 patients with primary cardiac tumor
were surgically treated in our institution. The tumors were categorized as
benign non-myxomas and malignants. Data including the demographic
characteristics, details of the tumor histology and grading, cardiac medical
and surgical history, surgical procedure of the patients were obtained from
...

Outcomes Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in Patients
with Mild Preoperative Renal Insufficiency
This study investigates the effect of mild preoperative renal insufficiency
on long-term follow-up outcomes of patients after CABG.Methods: Five hundred eighty-four patients' data that underwent CABG between 1 January
2009 and 1 December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided
into two groups: normal group [Estimated ... (Source: Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Oral Health Status, Health Behaviour and Treatment Needs of Patients
Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery
Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the oral health status and
treatment needs of cardiovascular surgery patients. Second, the awareness of
cardiovascular surgery patients regarding the association between oral
health and heart disease was considered.Methods: Assessment of oral health status, oral hygiene practices and treatment needs
of 106 hospitalized patients in preparation for cardiovascular surgery.
Patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire designed for this
study and oral examination was carried out by a dentist.Results: The oral hygiene pr...

Predictors of Outcomes after Correction of Acute Type A Aortic
Dissection under Moderate Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest and Antegrade Cerebral
Perfusion
We present our experience of 45 consecutive
patients operated in our unit with bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion
and moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest.Methods: Between January 2011 and April 2015, 45 consecutive patients were admitted
for acute type A aortic dissection and operated emergently under moderate
hypothermic circulatory arrest and bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion.Results: Mean age was 58 ±11.4 years old. Median circulatory arrest time was
41.5 (30-54) minutes while the 3 ... (Source: Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Application of Circular Patch Plasty (Dor Procedure) or Linear Repair
Techniques in the Treatment of Left Ventricular Aneurysms
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate early clinical outcomes and
echocardiographic measurements of the left ventricle in patients who
underwent left ventricular aneurysm repair using two different techniques
associated to myocardial revascularization.Methods: Eighty-nine patients (74 males, 15 females; mean age 58 ±8.4 years;
range: 41 to 80 years) underwent post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm
repair and myocardial revascularization performed between 1996 and 2016.

Selenium, Vitamin C and N-Acetylcysteine do not Reduce the Risk of
Acute Kidney Injury after Off-Pump CABG: a Randomized Clinical
Trial
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of perioperative
administration of N-acetylcysteine, selenium and vitamin C on the incidence
and outcomes of acute kidney injury after off-pump coronary bypass graft
surgery.Methods: 291 patients requiring elective off-pump coronary bypass graft surgery were
randomized to receive either N-acetylcysteine, vitamin C and selenium 600
