Women more likely to die after bypass surgery: Ontario study

Women are more likely than to after cardiac Ontario cardiac patients has The found were more likely to than Women more likely after coronary bypass or valve (including combined surgeries) within days as well as the longer term. The adds to mounting evidence disease is different than sometimes women’s health as a result. Research the Heart Institute have helped raise awareness this to avoid problems going untreated or overlooked women. Dr. Louise Sun, author the study.

Randomized clinical trials are lacking in valve surgery—one surgeon’s series may be the “best estimate of what’s possible. ” Some of the longest follow-up data yet published suggest that reoperation is rare among patients who underwent surgical repair of a degenerative mitral valve (MV) more than two decades ago. However, while residual mitral regurgitation (MR) was minimal immediately following the initial surgery, rates of recurrent MR increased with time. Incidence of tricuspid regurgitation and atrial mitral valve regurgitation surgery fibrillation also tended to creep higher in surviving patients, all of whom were initially treated by renowned Canadian surgeon Tirone E David, MD (University of Toronto, Canada), and his residents since the 1980s. Notably, the high rate of reintervention-free survival—more than 60% in these patients—has implications for newer techniques, both transcatheter and less invasive surgical procedures. “This should be the benchmark,” David stressed in an interview with TCTMD. “This is what traditional surgery can do.
