Aortic fat pad and atrial fibrillation: cardiac lymphatics revisited.
The lymphatics of the heart have not generated any broad or sustained interest among clinicians. Few publications on cardiac lymphatics are available, the anatomy is not routinely known and the true role of cardiac lymphatics remains doubtful. One important anatomical concept needing clarification is that of the lymphatic drainage of conduction tissue. The sinoatrial node lymphatic collector an...
متن کاملRetaining the aortic fat pad during cardiac surgery decreases postoperative atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Atrial arrhythmias are a common and serious complication of cardiac surgical procedures. Reports describing pericardiac neurogenic tissue led us to hypothesize that removal of the aortic fat pad could cause an autonomic imbalance and contribute to atrial arrhythmias following cardiac surgery. METHODS Patients (n=131) underwent either conventional cardiopulmonary bypass surgery (CPB...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracic surgery for delayed pericardial effusion post-CABG.
Delayed-onset pericardial effusion following coronary artery bypass grafts can give rise to significant morbidity in its presentation and in its management by traditional surgical techniques. A video-assisted thoracoscopic technique to create a pericardial window, with the advantage of a minimally invasive approach combined with excellent visualization in such a patient is described.
متن کاملOpen surgery for thoracic aortic disease.
Many recent technical advances have enhanced the safety of open surgery of the descending thoracic aorta. Previous to the refinement of these adjuncts and techniques, surgeons such as Stanley Crawford showed that simple aortic cross-clamping with expeditious surgery produced the best results. In Crawford’s era of “clamp and go”, time limitations pressured surgeons to perform anastomoses rapidly...
متن کاملDay admission for thoracic aortic surgery
Elective cardiac surgical patients can be admitted on the morning of the operation. The day admission surgery is safe with optimal care for patients and provides an economical benefit. In our institution if immediate surgery is not required, patients are entered into program for serial follow up. An elective aortic intervention for open surgical or endovascular surgery is recommended when the r...
