Abstract
Ophthalmic complications during a major cardiac surgery are rare but may have serious consequences. Patients requiring intraoperative support from a cardiopulmonary bypass machine have an increased risk of developing ocular adverse effects because of significant hemodynamic alterations involving the systemic and ocular vasculature. Ocular conditions experienced by patients undergoing cardiac surgery range from corneal abrasions to retinal artery occlusions or ischemic optic neuropathies. Postoperative vision loss may also occur because of cerebrovascular pathologies, such as stroke, pituitary apoplexy, or even cortical blindness. Here, we review perioperative ophthalmic complications encountered in cardiac surgery patients to guide clinicians in their diagnosis and management.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiac Surgery (JCS) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to contemporary surgical treatment of cardiac disease. Renown for its detailed "how to" methods, JCS''s well-illustrated, concise technical articles, critical reviews and commentaries are highly valued by dedicated readers worldwide.
With Editor-in-Chief Harold Lazar, MD and an internationally prominent editorial board, JCS continues its 20-year history as an important professional resource. Editorial coverage includes biologic support, mechanical cardiac assist and/or replacement and surgical techniques, and features current material on topics such as OPCAB surgery, stented and stentless valves, endovascular stent placement, atrial fibrillation, transplantation, percutaneous valve repair/replacement, left ventricular restoration surgery, immunobiology, and bridges to transplant and recovery.
In addition, special sections (Images in Cardiac Surgery, Cardiac Regeneration) and historical reviews stimulate reader interest. The journal also routinely publishes proceedings of important international symposia in a timely manner.
