Sary F. Aranki,David P. Shaw,David H. Adams,Robert J. Rizzo,Gregory S. Couper,Martha VanderVliet,John J. Collins,Lawrence H. Cohn,Helen R. Burstin +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective study was conducted to determine the current incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), identify its clinical predictors, and examine its impact on resource utilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of body mass index and albumin on morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery.
Daniel T. Engelman,David H. Adams,John G. Byrne,Sary F. Aranki,John J. Collins,Gregory S. Couper,Elizabeth N. Allred,Lawrence H. Cohn,Robert J. Rizzo +8 more
TL;DR: Preoperative risk stratification with the use of body mass index and serum albumin may help to identify subgroups of patients at high risk for adverse outcomes after cardiac operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modern surgical treatment of massive pulmonary embolism: results in 47 consecutive patients after rapid diagnosis and aggressive surgical approach.
Marzia Leacche,Daniel Unić,Samuel Z. Goldhaber,James D. Rawn,Sary F. Aranki,Gregory S. Couper,Tomislav Mihaljevic,Robert J. Rizzo,Lawrence H. Cohn,Lishan Aklog,John G. Byrne +10 more
TL;DR: Surgical pulmonary embolectomy is performed not only in patients with large central clot burden and hemodynamic compromise but also in hemodynamically stable patients with right ventricular dysfunction documented by means of echocardiography.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Pathophysiology on the Surgical Treatment of Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation: Operative and Late Risks of Repair Versus Replacement
Lawrence H. Cohn,Robert J. Rizzo,David H. Adams,Couper Gs,Timothy E. Sullivan,Jr Jj Collins,Sary F. Aranki +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in IMR, the underlying responsible pathophysiologic mechanisms appear to be the major determinants of survival, rather than the choice of the operative procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term results of mitral valve reconstruction for regurgitation of the myxomatous mitral valve
Lawrence H. Cohn,Gregory S. Couper,Sary F. Aranki,Robert J. Rizzo,Nancy M. Kinchla,John J. Collins +5 more
TL;DR: Mitral valve reconstruction for complicated myxomatous disease of the mitral valve, regardless of leaflet involvement, is feasible and offers excellent early and late results.
