Introduction: Cardiac myxoma is a benign and rare tumor, which can present with a grim phenomenon if the presentation is late or the diagnosis and surgery are delayed. The purpose of this study was to share our institutional experience of cardiac myxoma. Material and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate patients undergoing procedures at a single tertiary care centre for t...

Introduction: Postoperative bleeding in cardiac surgery is not an uncommon complication and can be evaluated with surgical and nonsurgical causes. Although any type of coagulopathy should be treated before, during, and after the surgical procedure, cardiac surgeons should have perfect surgical techniques for step by step hemostasis to minimize blood loss. Material...

One of the most common health problems are diseases of the cardiovascular system with a great bulk of disease burden; while a considerable number of cardiac patients undergo cardiac surgery; cardiac surgical procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are nowadays among the top list of surgical procedures. More than half of a century has passed since the introduction of total cardiopulmonary b...

background: cardiac output (co) is the total volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute and is a function of heart rate and stroke volume. co is one of the most important parameters for monitoring cardiac function, estimating global oxygen delivery and understanding the causes of high blood pressure. hence, measuring co has always been a matter of interest to researchers and clinicians. sev...

Intravenous adrenaline sulphate is commonly used in the treatment of low cardiac output states following heart operations. Although its cardiovascular effects have been studied in animals and in normal man (Aviado, 1959; Eckstein and Abboud, 1962), its precise effects immediately following open-heart operations have received little attention. This paper reports the haemodynamic effects of intra...

conclusions our study demonstrated the efficacy of rfviia in controlling postoperative bleeding in redo cardiac valve surgeries regarding subsequent blood loss and transfusion requirement; however, outcome results remains to be defined. results study groups showed no difference regarding baseline variables. three patients in rfviia group (16.67%) and 13 in placebo group (72.23%) received blood ...

Although cardiac involvement is an infrequent presentation in human hydatidosis, early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention of cardiac hydatid cyst are of utmost importance for the prevention of potential complications. We report a young female patient who presented with a huge cardiac hydatid cyst and severe heart failure symptoms undergoing successful surgical cyst removal with late fol...
