Summary

Patients with heart conditions undergoing hepatic resection face higher risks of early complications and death. However, long-term survival rates remain similar between cardiac and non-cardiac patients after liver surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Cardiology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Hepatic resection is a major surgical procedure.
  • Pre-existing cardiac conditions can complicate surgical outcomes.
  • Assessing the impact of cardiac disease on liver surgery is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of preoperative cardiac conditions on the outcomes of hepatic resection.
  • To compare early postoperative morbidity and mortality between patients with and without cardiac problems.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 474 hepatic resections performed between 1985 and 1993.
  • Inclusion of 451 patients, with a focus on the 23 patients (5%) who had pre-existing cardiac conditions.
  • Comparison of complication rates, including cardiac, non-cardiac, and hospital death, between groups.

Main Results:

  • Cardiac patients experienced significantly higher rates of cardiac complications (24% vs 0%, P < 0.0001).
  • Increased incidence of non-cardiac complications such as postoperative liver failure (16% vs 4%, P < 0.01) and bile leak (16% vs 5%, P = 0.02) in cardiac patients.
  • Higher hospital mortality in patients with cardiac conditions (16% vs 3%, P < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Patients with preoperative cardiac conditions are at increased risk for early postoperative morbidity and mortality following hepatic resection.
  • Despite higher early risks, long-term survival rates were similar between the cardiac and non-cardiac groups.
  • Careful preoperative cardiac assessment and management are essential for patients undergoing liver surgery.
