High thoracic epidural decreases perioperative myocardial ischemia and improves left ventricle function in aortic valve replacement alone or in addition to cabg surgery even with increased left ventricle mass index

High thoracic epidural decreases perioperative myocardial ischemia and improves left ventricle function in aortic valve replacement alone or in addition to cabg surgery even with increased left ventricle mass index

Introduction: High thoracic epidural (HTE) may reduce perioperative tachyarrhythmias, respiratory complications and myocardial ischemia (MI) and it may increase coronary perfusion and myocardial oxygen balance through sympatholysis and pain control. The aim of this study is to investigate the benefi...
