Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac Operations in Patients 80 Years Old and Older
Cary W. Akins,Willard M. Daggett,Gus J. Vlahakes,Alan D. Hilgenberg,David F. Torchiana,Joren C. Madsen,Mortimer J. Buckley +6 more
TL;DR: Cardiac operations are successful in most octogenarians with increased hospital mortality, postoperative stroke, and longer hospital stay, but long-term survival is largely determined by concurrent medical diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute traumatic disruption of the thoracic aorta: a ten-year experience.
TL;DR: Immediate operative intervention with a heparinized shunt is preferable as soon as the diagnosis of thoracic aortic disruption has been established, but elective delay of operation in patients with severe concomitant injuries can be achieved safely with beta blockade and antihypertensive therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitral valve reconstruction versus replacement for degenerative or ischemic mitral regurgitation.
Cary W. Akins,Alan D. Hilgenberg,Mortimer J. Buckley,Gus J. Vlahakes,David F. Torchiana,Willard M. Daggett,W. Gerald Austen +6 more
TL;DR: Mitral valve reconstruction, when technically feasible, is the procedure of choice for degenerative or ischemic mitral regurgitation because of significantly lower hospital mortality and late valve-related events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of Reoperative Valve Replacement for Failed Mitral and Aortic Bioprostheses
Cary W. Akins,Mortimer J. Buckley,Willard M. Daggett,Alan D. Hilgenberg,Gus J. Vlahakes,David F. Torchiana,Joren C. Madsen +6 more
TL;DR: Reoperative bioprosthetic valve replacement can be performed with acceptable mortality and hospital stay, and the best results are achieved with elective valve replacement, without concurrent cardiac procedures.
