Abstract
Aim of the work
To assess the variable incidence of the most common early post operative complications after open heart surgery (OHS) and the relation between these complications and the type of the pathology either; congenital (ASD, VSD …etc) or acquired (single or double valve) . Also, we will try to verify the relations between these complications and the total bypass time, the ischemia time, and the technical surgical difficulties.
Conclusion
1- Rheumatic valvular diseases are the commonest surgical correctable diseases encountered in our region.
2- There’s male predominance for both valvular and congenital diseases.
3- Results of cardiac surgery in Assuit University Hospital are reasonable considering the duration of experience.
4- Early intervention before compromised left ventricular function would decrease our deaths.
5- Long total bypass time (≥100 min), ischemic time (≥75 time), valvular surgery (especially mitral valve), compromised left ventricular function, cpngestive heart failure, pre-operative ischemia, pre-operative renal impairment, and re-exploration are significant predisposing factors for post operative complications.
6- Compromised left ventricular function is a significant predisposing factor for post operative cardiac complications.
7- All the complications were recorded during the period of hospitalization. So, our patients must be encouraged to be followed up in the outpatient clinics and our regimen of follow up in need for improvement.
