Key result
A presentation on clinical cardiac surgery discussed bilateral internal mammary arteries, external mesh support, anticoagulation of mechanical valves, and a bloodless heart surgery program.
The presentation reviews upcoming impacts on clinical cardiac surgery, including bilateral internal mammary arteries, external mesh support for vein grafts, mechanical valve anticoagulation, and bloodless heart surgery.
These techniques warrant prospective validation before adoption; leaves open their comparative efficacy in cardiac surgery.
In the tradition of Dr Arom, who had many interests in his clinical and research career, I will touch on three things that will impact the practice of clinical cardiac surgery over the next several years: use of bilateral internal mammary arteries, use of external mesh support to improve saphenous vein graft patency, and anticoagulation of mechanical heart valves. The remainder of the presentation goes into depth on the development of a bloodless heart surgery program, which is contemporary and timely as it encompasses some thoughts of this society.
