Material and Methods: A total of 6,571 coronary bypass patients who were treated at Kartal Ko ş uyolu High Specialization Training and Research Hospital between 2016 and 2019 were scanned, and 132 patients with preoperative EF below 40% were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups as those who received preoperative levosimendan (Group 1: 90 patients) and the control group, who did not receive it at all (Group 2: 42 patients). All of the patients included in the study were on- pump coronary bypass patients and excluded off-pump bypass, emergency bypass, and other concomitant procedures. Results: In terms of EF values, improvements over time were significantly different in favor of Group 1 (p<0.043). The duration of the intensive care unit stay in Group 1 was longer (p<0.047). The changes in patients in terms of postoperative venous oxygen saturation over time were found to be statis- tically positive in favor of Group 1 (p<0.042). Mortality was observed in 5 patients in the postoperative early period (first 30 days), all of whom were from Group 1. However, no statistical difference was observed. Conclusion: Preoperative use of levosimendan in coronary artery patients with low EF improved some hemodynamic parameters; however, it did not make a significant hemodynamic and clinical contribution to surgery success in high-risk patients.","PeriodicalId":39118,"journal":{"name":"Turkiye Klinikleri Cardiovascular Sciences","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80336092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın örneklemini Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Kartal Koşuyolu Yüksek İhtisas Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesinde açık kalp ameliyatı olmak için yatan 166 hasta oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri; hasta tanıtım formu, Herth Umut İndeksi, Spiritüel İyi Oluş Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı veriler sayı yüzdelik hesaplamaları, Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi, tek yönlü ANOVA, bağımsız gruplar için t-testi, Kruskal-Wallis testi ve Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hastaların %72,3’ünün 51 yaş ve üzeri yaş grubunda, %69,3’ünün erkek, %45,3’ü ilkokul mezunu, %84,9’unun evli, %51,2’sinin baypas ameliyatı geçireceği, %84,3’ünün daha önce kalp ameliyatı geçirmediği, %41’inin 4-6 gündür hastanede kaldığı belirlenmiştir. Hastaların Spiritüel İyi Oluş Ölçeği toplam puanının 115,93±10 ve Herth Umut İndeksi toplam puanının 39,11±5,40 olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü hastaların tanıtıcı özelliklerine göre Spiritüel İyi Oluş Ölçeği’nden aldıkları puanlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>0,05).

The incidence of IAA among congenital heart defects is around 1%.1 There are 3 types of the IAA, and they are classified according to the site of the interruption by Celoria and Patton.2 Type A is interrupted distal to the left subclavian artery (LSCA); Type B is interrupted between the left subclavian and left carotid artery (LCA), and Type C is interrupted proximal to the LCA. The frequency of occurrence is listed as B, A, and C, respectively. Survival into adulthood with the isolated anomaly is very rare and depends on the development of collateral circulation.
