Registro retrospectivo de cirugía cardíaca, 2024.

Clínica San Donà.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiac surgery (CS) remains a solution for a variety of pathologies (congenital and acquired), so it is necessary to know statistical data and their regional comparison.

Objective: To understand the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients undergoing CS and the surgical modality of the institution's population.

Material and methods: A retrospective registry was conducted of all patients who underwent central cardiac surgery between January 1 and December 31, 2024, at Clínica San Donà. Quantitative variables were expressed as mean and standard deviation for Gaussian distribution variables, and qualitative variables as percentages. Epiinfo 7.2 was used for analysis.

Results: Of a total of 2,568 surgeries performed in 2024, 124 were cardiovascular, of which 25% were CHD, 43% were urgent (in the first 24-48 hours), 3% were emergency (performed at the time of diagnosis), and 53% were elective. Ninety percent were men, with a mean age of 61 years; arterial hypertension (76%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (27%) were the most prevalent risk factors. 53% were coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), 27% were valve replacement, and 7% were bilateral valve replacement. Intraoperative mortality was 0%, and early mortality associated with the procedure  was 10%.  The  average  post-surgery hospital stay was 5 days.

Conclusions: CC is an effective therapeutic tool in various clinical settings, which requires constant updating and multidisciplinary management.
