Perioperative Outcomes During Double-Lung Transplantation and Retransplantation in Cystic Fibrosis Patients: A Monocentric Cohort Study.
Life expectancy for lung-transplant patients, especially those with cystic fibrosis (CF), is leading increasingly to more retransplantations. ⋯ Intraoperative period of retransplantation was more convoluted but had a similar ECMO profile to primary transplantation. In addition, the early postoperative period was similar.

Observational StudyThe Validation of Cardiac Index and Stroke-Volume Variation Measured by the Pulse-Wave Transit Time-Analysis Versus Conventional Pulse-Contour Analysis After Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Observational Study.
To compare the reliability of cardiac index (CI) and stroke-volume variation (SVV) measured by the pulse-wave transit-time (PWTT) method using estimated continuous cardiac output (esCCO) technique with conventional pulse-contour analysis after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). ⋯ The overall performance of CIesCCO and esSVV versus CIPCA and SVVPCA is not clinically acceptable. A further improvement of the PWTT algorithm may be required for an accurate and precise assessment of CI and SVV.

Observational StudyThe Long-Term Impact of Diastolic Dysfunction After Routine Cardiac Surgery.
To determine the impact of diastolic dysfunction (DD) on survival after routine cardiac surgery. ⋯ These findings suggested that DD may be associated with poor short-term and long-term outcomes.
