Influence of minimal invasive extracorporeal circuits on dialysis dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cardiac surgery in patients on chronic renal dialysis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Minimally invasive extracorporeal circuits (MiECC) have shown a positive impact on patient outcome in different high-risk populations. This retrospective study compares the outcome of these high-risk patients undergoing heart surgery either with a MiECC or a conventional extracorporeal circulation (CECC).

Methods

This is a single-center experience including 131 consecutive dialysis dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery between January 2006 and December 2016. A propensity score matching was employed leaving 30 matched cases in each group.

Results

After propensity score matching the 30-day mortality was significantly lower in the MiECC group
