This study was a type II prospective observational study of physicians' perceptions of the use of RP models to assist with surgical cases. Results provided by this study suggest expected benefits from application of RP in surgeries of the pediatric spine and pelvis with complex deformities.
Despite all the modern anti-arrhythmic drugs, the incidence of AF remains unchanged. Patients who develop AF postcardiac surgery show a significantly worse outcome compared to those without AF. This study also highlights the importance of anticoagulation in AF to prevent the devastating consequences as a result of a cerebral stroke. We believe that not only immediate treatment of AF postoperatively should be implemented, but also measures should be taken to identify the risk factors of AF and to prevent AF postcardiac surgery.
Despite the reported benefits of OPCAB, there was no significant influence on the in-hospital mortality, mid-term survival or long-term survival in patients with LV dysfunction. With adequate myocardial protection in ONCAB and complete revascularization in OPCAB, similar results are achievable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
