    Summary

    This study of 3000 cardio-pulmonary bypass surgeries reveals a significant decrease in early mortality over time. Most patients survived, with many returning to normal life, though facility demand outstrips provision.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a critical technique in modern cardiac surgery.
    • Assessing long-term outcomes and mortality rates following CPB is essential for evaluating surgical advancements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the outcomes of 3000 consecutive surgeries performed using cardiopulmonary bypass.
    • To evaluate early mortality rates, long-term survival, and patient quality of life after CPB procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 3000 consecutive CPB operations.
    • Data collection on early mortality, specific procedure types, and long-term follow-up.
    • Patient follow-up ranging from one to 8.5 years post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Overall early mortality decreased from 8.9% in the first 1000 to 4.4% in the third 1000 operations (6.1% total).
    • Low mortality for coronary artery bypass grafting (1.3%) and valve replacements (aortic 3.1%, mitral 2.9%).
    • 87% of all patients were alive at follow-up, with many returning to work and normal life.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical outcomes and survival rates following cardiopulmonary bypass have improved significantly over time.
    • Despite positive patient outcomes, long waiting times suggest a need for increased healthcare facility capacity.
    • CPB remains a vital and increasingly safe procedure for various cardiac conditions.
