Cerebral embolization during cardiac surgery: impact of aortic atheroma burden.

Other Br J Anaesth · November 2003 BACKGROUND: Aortic atheromatous disease is known to be associated with an increased risk of perioperative stroke in the setting of cardiac surgery. In this study, we sought to determine the relationship between cerebral microemboli and aortic atheroma burd ... Full text Link to item Cite

Serum creatinine patterns in coronary bypass surgery patients with and without postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Other Anesth Analg · July 2002 Featured Publication UNLABELLED: Renal dysfunction is common after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. We have previously shown that CABG procedures complicated by stroke have a threefold greater peak serum creatinine level relative to uncomplicated surgery. However, ... Full text Link to item Cite

The rewarming rate and increased peak temperature alter neurocognitive outcome after cardiac surgery.

Other Anesth Analg · January 2002 UNLABELLED: Neurocognitive dysfunction is a common complication after cardiac surgery. We evaluated in this prospective study the effect of rewarming rate on neurocognitive outcome after hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After IRB approval and info ...
