Il Bypass aortocoronarico nella donna. risultati immediati ed a distanza

The present report summarizes the early and late results obtained in a series of 43 female patients, who underwent coronary bypass surgery during a 2-year period ending December 1983. This group constituted 11,2% of the total experience in that period. The mortality rate was 6,97% and incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction was 4,6%. At late follow-up (23,35 +o- 5,9 mounths) the 85% of patients resulted asymptomatic. Comparing these women with 43 men of the same age, angina subset and number of deseased vessels the operative risk resulted higher in the women. These findings may be explained on the basis of women having smaller coronary arteries and move severe variant of systemic atherogenesis than men

Sostituzione valvolare mitro-aortica:fattori che influenzano il rischio operatorio.

83 patients, 41 male and 42 female, mean age 54,04, operated on of mitro-aortic valve replacement from Jan 1982 to December 1987 were examinated to identify statistically significative operative risk factors. The vast majority of patients had calcific involvement of one (11,4%) or two (48,2%) valves; 7 cases underwent myocardial revascularization for concomitant coronary artery lesions and 17 (20,4%) had previously undergone cardiac operations. The hospital mortality was 8,4%, resulting significantly (p<0.05) influenced by more severe functional class of New Your Heart Association (NYHA) and by involvement of respiratory, renal and hepatic function; incremental risk factors for early mortality
