Abstract

BACKGROUND Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been emerging as a strong predictor of mortality among patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to verify if RDW is able to predict survival after heart transplantation (HTx). METHODS Two hundred and eighteen recipients who underwent HTx between 2000 and 2013 were classified into three groups according to the pre-HTx RDW tertile values (14.6 and 16.4%), and their outcomes were compared. Mean follow-up was 6.6 ± 4.2 years. RESULTS RDW correlated with other markers of chronic pathological conditions, such as the Index for Mortality Prediction after Cardiac Transplantation (IMPACT) score (P = 0.002) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (P

Abstract

Despite the fact that the rate of surgical complications mainly related to the necessary anticoagulation has been reported to be significant in patients supported by ventricular assist devices (VADs) who underwent noncardiac surgery, we report two cases showing that adequate peri-operative management of medical therapy and utilization of mini-invasive surgical approaches (i.e. laparoscopy) may limit the risks of morbidity, especially when surgery is required on an urgent basis.
