Anaphylaxis is clinically defined as a severe systemic allergic reaction of rapid onset, the hallmarks of which are acute cardiovascular and pulmonary dysfunction. In anaesthetics the incidence of this severe complication is between 1:5,000 and 1:25,000, and it is one of the few remaining causes of mortality directly due to general anaesthesia. During cardiac surgery, children are exposed to… View more

Adverse clinical consequences associated with conventional coronary artery bypass surgery (CCAB) have largely been attributed to cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (CPB), hypothermic cardiac arrest, aortic cannulation and cross-clamping. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in safer alternatives to CCAB including off-pump beating heart bypass surgery (OPCAB). Since the introduction of… View more

Initially, only conservative procedures were possible, but the first orthotopic human implantation of an artificial valve, by Starr in 1960, permitted the replacement of most cardiac valves not amenable to repair. Since then, more than a… View more
