Abstract:Background:
Postoperative bleeding requiring re-exploration is a serious complication that occurs in 2.8% to 4.6% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Re-exploration has previously been associated with a higher risk of short-term mortality. However, a comprehensive analysis of long-term outcomes after re-exploration for bleeding has not been published.
Materials and Methods:
We performed a systematic, three databases search to identify studies report… Show more
