Abstract
Ischaemic or haemorrhagic perioperative stroke (that is, stroke occurring during or within 30 days following surgery) can be a devastating complication following surgery. Incidence is reported in the 0.1-0.7% range in adults undergoing non-cardiac and non-neurological surgery, in the 1-5% range in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and in the 1-10% range following neurological surgery. However, higher rates have been reported when patients are actively assessed and in high-risk populations. Prognosis is significantly worse than stroke occurring in the community, with double the 30-day mortality, greater disability and diminished quality of life among survivors. Considering the annual volume of surgeries performed worldwide, perioperative stroke represents a substantial burden. Despite notable differences in aetiology, patient populations and clinical settings, existing clinical recommendations for perioperative stroke are extrapolated mainly from stroke in the community. Perioperative in-hospital stroke is unique with respect to the stroke occurring in other settings, and it is essential to apply evidence from other settings with caution and to identify existing knowledge gaps in order to effectively guide patient care and future research.

Abstract
Neurologic complications, associated with cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adults, are common and can be devastating in some cases. This comprehensive review will not only consider the broad categories of stroke and neurocognitive dysfunction, but it also summarises other neurological complications associated with CPB, and it provides an update about risks, prevention and treatment. Where appropriate, we consider the impact of off-pump techniques upon our understanding of the contribution of CPB to adverse outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains a high-risk procedure and is associated with adverse outcomes. The risk factors of acute stroke in the above-mentioned patients stay unclear and some appropriate data is lacking in the literature. Thus, we aimed to investigate the predictors of acute stroke in patients undergoing CABG surgery in ACS. METHODS The retrospective single-centre cohort analysis was conducted. All patients (n = 1344) who suffered from acute coronary syndrome and underwent CABG procedure at the University hospital Cologne from June 2011 until October 2019 were included in our study. In order to find the risk factors of acute stroke after bypass surgery, patients were divided into two groups (non-stroke group (n = 1297) and stroke group (n = 47)). In order to even above-mentioned groups propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed (non-stroke group (n = 46) and stroke group (n = 46). RESULTS Duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (p = .015) and cross clamp time (p = .006) were significantly longer in patients who suffered stroke. Perioperative myocardial infarction was significantly higher (p = .030) in the stroke group. Likewise, the duration of intensive care unit stay (p < .001) and in-hospital stay (p < .001) were significantly longer in patients with stroke. However, the mortality rate did not differ significantly (p = .131) between above-mentioned groups. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed cardiogenic shock (p = .003), peripheral vascular disease (PVD, p = .025) and previous stroke (p = .045) as relevant independent predictors for acute stroke after CABG procedure in patients with ACS. CONCLUSION Based on our findings, acute stroke after bypass surgery in patients with ACS is associated with increased mortality and adverse outcomes. Cardiogenic shock, peripheral vascular disease and previous stroke were independent predictors of stroke after CABG procedure. Therefore, preoperative evaluation of potential risk factors may be crucial to improve postoperative results.

Surgery 2023:S0039-6060(23)00168-X. [PMID: 37202306 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2023.03.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass surgery in octogenarians is associated with increased postoperative morbidity. Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery eliminates potential complications of cardiopulmonary bypass, but its use remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and financial impact of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery compared to conventional coronary artery bypass surgery among this high-risk population. METHODS Patients ≥80 years undergoing first-time, isolated, elective coronary artery bypass surgery were identified using the 2010-2019 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Patients were grouped into off-pump or conventional coronary artery bypass surgery cohorts. Multivariable models were developed to assess the independent associations between off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery and key outcomes. RESULTS Of ∼56,158 patients, 13,940 (24.8%) underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery. On average, the off-pump cohort was more likely to undergo single-vessel bypass (37.3 vs 19.7%, P < .001). After adjustment, undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery was associated with similar odds of in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio 0.90, 95% confidence interval 0.73-1.12) relative to conventional bypass. Additionally, the off-pump and conventional coronary artery bypass surgery groups were comparable in odds of postoperative stroke (adjusted odds ratio 1.03, 95% confidence interval 0.78-1.35), cardiac arrest (adjusted odds ratio 0.99, 95% confidence interval 0.71-1.37), ventricular fibrillation (adjusted odds ratio 0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.60-1.31), tamponade (adjusted odds ratio 1.21, 95% confidence interval 0.74-1.97), and cardiogenic shock (adjusted odds ratio 0.94, 95% confidence interval 0.75-1.17). However, the off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery cohort was linked with an increased likelihood of ventricular tachycardia (adjusted odds ratio 1.23, 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.49) and myocardial infarction (adjusted odds ratio 1.34, 95% confidence interval 1.16-1.55). Furthermore, those undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery demonstrated reduced odds of non-home discharge (adjusted odds ratio 0.91, 95% confidence interval 0.83-0.99) and a decrement in hospitalization expenditures ($-1,290, 95% confidence interval -$2,370 to $200). CONCLUSION Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery was linked with increased odds of ventricular tachycardia and myocardial infarction, but no difference in mortality. Our findings point to the safety of conventional coronary artery bypass surgery in octogenarians. Yet, future work is needed to consider long-term outcomes in this complex surgical cohort.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One critical complication of cardiac surgery is cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs). Ascending aorta atherosclerosis poses a significant risk of embolisation to distal vessels and to cerebral arteries. Epi-aortic ultrasonography (EUS) is thought to offer a safe, high-quality accurate visualisation of the diseased aorta to guide the surgeon on the best surgical approach to the planned procedure and potentially improve neurological outcomes post-cardiac surgery. METHOD The authors conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus and Embase. Studies that reported on epi-aortic ultrasound use in cardiac surgery were included. Major exclusion criteria were: (1) abstracts, conference presentations, editorials, literature reviews; (2) case series with <5 participants; (3) epi-aortic ultrasound in trauma or other surgeries. RESULTS A total of 59 studies and 48,255 patients were included in this review. Out of the studies that reported patient co-morbidities prior to cardiac surgery, 31.6% had diabetes, 59.5% had hyperlipidaemia and 66.1% had a diagnosis of hypertension. Of those that reported significant ascending aorta atherosclerosis found on EUS, this ranged from 8.3% of patients to 95.2% with a mean percentage of 37.8%. Hospital mortality ranged from 7% to 13%; four studies reported zero deaths. Long-term mortality and stroke rate varied significantly with hospital duration. CONCLUSION Current data have shown EUS to have superiority over manual palpation and transoesophageal echocardiography in the prevention of CVAs following cardiac surgery. Yet, EUS has not been implemented as a routine standard of care. Extensive adoption of EUS in clinical practice is warranted to aid large, randomised trials before making prospective conclusions on the efficacy of this screening method.

J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2022; 36:2954-2960. [PMID: 35288024 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2022.01.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The introduction and use of a preincision safety check were associated with lower mortality after mixed adult cardiac surgery; however, an explanatory mechanism is lacking. Stroke, one of the most severe complications after cardiac surgery, with high mortality, may be reduced by adapting the surgical handling of the ascending aorta. This study assessed the prevalence and predictors of this adaptation after a preincision safety check and the subsequent effect on outcome. DESIGN A prospective, single-center, observational study comparing adaptation with no-adaptation. The primary outcome measure was 30-day mortality. Multivariate analyses were performed to determine independent predictors of adaptation. To study the effect of adaptation on outcome, a propensity score-matched cohort was constructed in a 1:3 intervention:control ratio. SETTING At Isala Zwolle (NL), a large, nonacademic teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS All consecutive cardiac surgery procedures from 2012 until 2015, including 4,752 surgeries. INTERVENTIONS The adaptation of surgical handling of the ascending aorta. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS In 283 cardiac surgeries (5.9%), adaptation was indicated. The most important independent predictors for adaptation were extracardiac atherosclerosis, current smoking, and increasing age. In the propensity score-matched cohort consisting of 1,069 procedures, there were no significant differences in outcome. After correction for propensity score, the hazard ratio of adaptation for 30-day mortality was 1.8 (0.85-3.79). CONCLUSIONS The adaptation of aortic surgical handling after a preincision safety check was necessary for 5.9% of cardiac surgeries, with extracardiac atherosclerosis as the strongest predictor. Outcome was not significantly different between patients with and without adaptation. Although promising, it remains unclear whether adaptation may fully explain mortality reduction after the use of a preincision safety check.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a devastating complication. Patient comorbidities and intraoperative elements contribute to the risk of CVA. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for CVA in Veterans undergoing CABG. METHODS Veterans undergoing isolated CABG from 2008 to 2019 were retrospectively identified using the Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Program (VASQIP) database. Thirty-day postoperative outcomes were observed. Univariate analysis followed by multivariable logistic regression identified independent risk factors for postoperative CVA. Receiver operating characteristic diagnostics identified optimal inflection points between continuous risk factors and odds of CVA. RESULTS Twenty-eight thousand seven hundred fifty-seven patients met inclusion criteria. Incidence of CVA was 1.1% (310 cases). In multivariate analysis, preoperative cerebrovascular disease had the strongest association with postoperative CVA (adjusted odds ratio = 2.29; p < .001). There was an inverse relationship between CVA incidence and ejection fraction (EF), with EF of 35%-39% conferring a 2.11 times higher risk compared to EF >55% (p < .001). CVA incidence was not different in on-pump versus off-pump cases; however, after 104 min or more on bypass patients had a 55% greater adjusted odds of CVA (p < .001). Other risk factors included poor kidney function, prior myocardial infarction, and intra-aortic balloon pump use. CONCLUSION The risk of CVA after CABG is multifactorial and involves multiple organ systems, including cardiac disease, poor renal function, and cerebrovascular disease, which was the strongest contributing risk factor. Optimization of these comorbidities and time on bypass may help improve clinical outcomes and lower the risk of this devastating complication.

[PMID: 34783875 PMCID: PMC8921026 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-021-08360-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 08/30/2021] [Accepted: 09/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
Objectives To evaluate if routine screening for aortic calcification using unenhanced CT lowers the risk of stroke and alters the surgical approach in patients undergoing general cardiac surgery compared with standard of care (SoC). Methods In this prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial, adult patients scheduled for cardiac surgery from September 2014 to October 2019 were randomized 1:1 into two groups: SoC alone, including chest radiography, vs. SoC plus preoperative noncontrast CT. The primary endpoint was in-hospital perioperative stroke. Secondary endpoints were preoperative change of the surgical approach, in-hospital mortality, and postoperative delirium. The trial was halted halfway for expected futility, as the conditional power analysis showed a chance < 1% of finding the hypothesized effect. Results A total of 862 patients were evaluated (SoC-group: 433 patients (66 ± 11 years; 74.1% male) vs. SoC + CT-group: 429 patients (66 ± 10 years; 69.9% male)). The perioperative stroke rate (SoC + CT: 2.1%, 9/429 vs. SoC: 1.2%, 5/433, p = 0.27) and rate of changed surgical approach (SoC + CT: 4.0% (17/429) vs. SoC: 2.8% (12/433, p = 0.35) did not differ between groups. In-hospital mortality and postoperative delirium were comparable between groups. In the SoC + CT group, aortic calcification was observed on CT in the ascending aorta in 28% (108/380) and in the aortic arch in 70% (265/379). Conclusions Preoperative noncontrast CT in cardiac surgery candidates did not influence the surgical approach nor the incidence of perioperative stroke compared with standard of care. Aortic calcification is a frequent finding on the CT scan in these patients but results in major surgical alterations to prevent stroke in only few patients. Key Points • Aortic calcification is a frequent finding on noncontrast computed tomography prior to cardiac surgery. • Routine use of noncontrast computed tomography does not often lead to a change of the surgical approach, when compared to standard of care. • No effect was observed on perioperative stroke after cardiac surgery when using routine noncontrast computed tomography screening on top of standard of care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Factors such as more diffuse atherosclerosis, plaque instability and accelerated vascular calcification in patients with chronic and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) can potentially present intraoperative challenges in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures. We evaluated whether patients with chronic and ESRD experienced more surgical strategy changes and/or graft revisions than patients with normal renal function when undergoing CABG procedures according to a protocol for intraoperative high-frequency ultrasound and transit-time flow measurement (TTFM). METHODS Outcomes of CABG for patients with chronic and ESRD and patients with normal renal function enrolled in the multicentre prospective REQUEST (REgistry for QUality assESsmenT with Ultrasound Imaging and TTFM in Cardiac Bypass Surgery) study were compared retrospectively. The primary end point was frequency of intraoperative surgical strategy changes. The secondary end point was post-protamine TTFM parameters. RESULTS There were 95 patients with chronic and ESRD and 921 patients with normal renal function. Patients with chronic and ESRD undergoing CABG according to a protocol for intraoperative high-frequency ultrasound and TTFM had a higher rate of strategy changes overall [33.7% vs 24.3%; odds ratio (OR) = 1.58; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.01-2.48; P = 0.047] and greater revisions per graft (7.0% vs 3.4%; odds ratio = 2.14; 95% CI = 1.17-3.71; P = 0.008) compared to patients with normal renal function. Final post-protamine graft TTFM parameters were comparable between cohorts. CONCLUSIONS Patients with chronic and ESRD undergoing CABG procedures with high-frequency ultrasound and TTFM experience more surgical strategy changes than patients with normal renal function while achieving comparable graft flow.

Intraoperative transit-time flow measurement and high-frequency ultrasound in coronary artery bypass grafting: impact in off versus on-pump, arterial versus venous grafting and cardiac territory grafted. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2021; 61:204-213.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite society guideline recommendations, intraoperative high-frequency ultrasound (HFUS) and transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) use in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has not been widely adopted worldwide. This retrospective review of the REQUEST (REgistry for QUality assESsmenT with Ultrasound Imaging and TTFM in Cardiac Bypass Surgery) study assesses the impact of protocolled high-frequency ultrasound/TTFM use in specific technical circumstances of CABG. METHODS Three REQUEST study sub-analyses were examined: (i) For off-pump (OPCAB) versus on-pump (ONCAB) procedures: strategy changes from preoperative plans for the aorta, conduits, coronary targets and graft revisions; and for all REQUEST patients, revision rates in: (ii) arterial versus venous grafts; and (iii) grafts to different cardiac territories. RESULTS Four hundred and two (39.6%) of 1016 patients undergoing elective isolated CABG for multivessel disease underwent OPCAB procedures. Compared to ONCAB, OPCAB patients experienced more strategy changes regarding the aorta [14.7% vs 3.4%; odds ratios (OR) = 4.03; confidence interval (CI) = 2.32-7.20], less regarding conduits (0.2% vs 2.8%; OR = 0.09; CI = 0.01-0.56), with no differences in coronary target changes or graft revisions (4.1% vs 3.5%; OR = 1.19; CI = 0.78-1.81). In all REQUEST patients, revisions were more common for arterial versus venous grafts (4.7% vs 2.4%; OR = 2.05; CI = 1.29-3.37), and inferior versus anterior (5.1% vs 2.9%; OR = 1.77; CI = 1.08-2.89) and lateral (5.1% vs 2.8%; OR = 1.83; CI = 1.04-3.27) territory grafts. CONCLUSIONS High-frequency ultrasound/TTFM use differentially impacts strategy changes and graft revision rates in different technical circumstances of CABG. Notably, patients undergoing OPCAB experienced 4 times more changes related to the ascending aorta than ONCAB patients. These findings may indicate where intraoperative assessment is most usefully applied. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02385344.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) without cardiopulmonary bypass and minimal or no aortic manipulation may be associated with a lower risk of neurological complications. We investigated this issue in patients with a high risk of perioperative stroke. METHODS Data on 7352 patients who underwent isolated CABG from January 2015 to May 2017 were included in the multicenter study European Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (E-CABG) registry. Of these, 684 patients had an increased risk of neurological complications, i.e. previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), severe carotid artery stenosis or occlusion, or previous carotid artery intervention. In this subgroup, we analyzed the rates of the combined primary endpoint comprising any postoperative stroke or TIA. A comparative analysis between CABG with and without aortic cross-clamping was performed. RESULTS The primary endpoint was more often reached when aortic cross-clamping was used (propensity score matching, without vs. with aortic cross-clamp: 0.9% vs 7.2%, p=0.016). In comparison to all other revascularization techniques, off-pump CABG with avoidance of aortic manipulation was associated with the lowest rate of neurological complications (0.7%). CONCLUSIONS In patients with increased risk of perioperative stroke, aortic manipulation including the use of cardiopulmonary bypass or partial clamping for central anastomoses is associated with higher rates of postoperative neurological complications. These patients may benefit from off-pump surgery without aortic manipulation if complete revascularization can be ensured.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the incidence and outcomes of ischemic stroke in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the current era are limited. The goal of this study was to examine contemporary trends, predictors, and outcomes of ischemic stroke following CABG in a large nationally representative database over a 12-year-period. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample was used to identify all adult (≥18 years) patients who underwent CABG between 2004 and 2015. The incidence and predictors of post-CABG ischemic stroke were assessed and in-hospital outcomes of patients with and without post-CABG stroke were compared. RESULTS Out of 2 569 597 CABG operations, ischemic stroke occurred in 47 279 (1.8%) patients, with a rising incidence from 2004 (1.2%) to 2015 (2.3%) (P < .001). Patient risk profiles increased over time in both cohorts, with higher Charlson comorbidity scores observed amongst stroke patients. Stroke was independently associated with higher rates of in-hospital mortality (3-fold), longer lengths of hospital stay (~6 more days), and higher total hospitalisation cost (~$80 000 more). Age ≥60 years and female sex (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.31-1.36) were the strongest predictors of stroke (both P < .001). Further, on-pump CABG was not an independent predictor of stroke (P = .784). CONCLUSION In this nationally representative study we have shown that the rates of postoperative stroke complications following CABG have increased over time to commensurate with a parallel increase in overall baseline patient risks. Given the adverse impact of stroke on in-hospital morbidity and mortality after CABG, further studies are warranted to systematically delineate factors contributing to this striking trend.

Abstract
Cardiac surgeries are commonly associated with neurologic complications. The type and complexity of the surgery, as well as patients' comorbidities, determine the risk for these complications. Awareness and swift recognition of these complications may have significant implications on management and prognosis. Recent trials resulted in an expansion of the time window to treat patients with acute ischemic stroke with intravenous thrombolysis and/or mechanical thrombectomy using advanced neuroimaging for screening. The expanded time window increases the reperfusion treatment options for patients that suffer a periprocedural ischemic stroke. Moreover, there is now limited data available to help guide management of intracerebral hemorrhage in patients undergoing treatment with anticoagulation for highly thrombogenic conditions, such as left ventricular assist devices and mechanical valves. In addition to cerebrovascular complications patients undergoing heart surgery are at increased risk for seizures, contrast toxicity, cognitive changes, psychological complications, and peripheral nerve injuries. We review the neurological complications associated with the most common cardiac surgeries and discuss clinical presentation, diagnosis and management strategies.

Abstract
Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) associated with aortic surgery is well-described; however, SCI after cardiac surgery not involving the aorta is an unusual and underappreciated phenomenon. The authors reviewed the literature and found 54 case reports of perioperative spinal cord ischemia in nonaortic surgery. The severity of its implications is evidenced by the fact that 14 patients died, 22 had no recovery, and seven had only partial recovery. Various types of cardiac surgery have reported this complication including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), off-pump CABG, valve surgeries, combination valve and CABG surgeries, and transcatheter aortic valve procedures. Patient comorbidities, such as high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes, and peripheral vascular disease, also may play a role in the development of this adverse outcome. The authors review the literature to define further possible mechanisms, surgical techniques, and patient factors that could contribute to the risk of perioperative SCI after cardiac surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a risk score for surgical site infections (SSIs) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS A derivation sample of 7,090 consecutive isolated or combined CABG patients and 2 validation samples (2,660 total patients). METHODS Predictors of SSIs were identified by multivariable analyses from the derivation sample, and a risk stratification tool (additive and logistic) for all SSIs after CABG (acronym, ASSIST) was created. Accuracy of prediction was evaluated with C-statistic and compared 1:1 (using the Hanley-McNeil method) with most relevant risk scores for SSIs after CABG. Both internal (1,000 bootstrap replications) and external validation were performed. RESULTS SSIs occurred in 724 (10.2%) cases and 2 models of ASSIST were created, including either baseline patient characteristics alone or combined with other perioperative factors. Female gender, body mass index >29.3 kg/m2, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, extracardiac arteriopathy, angina at rest, and nonelective surgical priority were predictors of SSIs common to both models, which outperformed (P < .0001) 6 specific risk scores (10 models) for SSIs after CABG. Although ASSIST performed differently in the 2 validation samples, in both, as well as in the derivation data set, the combined model outweighed (albeit not always significantly) the preoperative-only model, both for additive and logistic ASSIST. CONCLUSIONS In the derivation data set, ASSIST outperformed specific risk scores in predicting SSIs after CABG. The combined model had a higher accuracy of prediction than the preoperative-only model both in the derivation and validation samples. Additive and logistic ASSIST showed equivalent performance.

Abstract
Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is a standard diagnostic and monitoring tool employed in the management of patients undergoing an entire spectrum of cardiac surgical procedures, ranging from "routine" surgical coronary revascularization to complex valve repair, combined procedures, and organ transplantation. Utilizing a protocol as a starting point for imaging in all procedures and all patients enables standardization of image acquisition, reduction in variability in quality of imaging and reporting, and ultimately better patient care. Clear communication of the echocardiographic findings to the surgical team, as well as understanding the impact of new findings on the surgical plan, are paramount. Equally important is the need for complete understanding of the technical steps of the surgical procedures being performed and the complications that may occur, in order to direct the postprocedure evaluation toward aspects directly related to the surgical procedure and to provide pertinent echocardiographic information. The rationale for this document is to outline a systematic approach describing how to apply the existing guidelines to questions on cardiac structure and function specific to the intraoperative environment in open, minimally invasive, or hybrid cardiac surgery procedures.
