Early Morbidity
44 patients (39.3%) required IABP to exit the operating room, while
three patients (2.7%) need intraoperative implantation of ventricular
assist devices. Reoperation of deep sternal infection was performed in
six patients (5.4%). Ten patients (8.9%) received continuous renal
replacement therapy due to postoperative renal failure. Postoperative
shunts were found in eleven patients (9.8%) by postoperative
echocardiography, and only one patient underwent reoperation within 30
days after the primary procedure due to severe unstable circulation
status.
