Introduction: Past analyses of U.S. databases have illustrated increased morbidity and mortality experienced by patients with surgical wound dehiscence (SWD). The following case demonstra...
Background: Surgical site complications (SSCs) are associated with excess morbidity and mortality and represent a significant burden to the health-care system, making surgical site infect...

Despite widespread use, evidence to support preemptive IABP insertion for patients undergoing high-risk CABG surgery remains sparse, and in need of a well-defined clinical trial. To inform the design of a prospective trial, we sought to...

Recent data demonstrate that mortality of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not changed despite dramatic reduction in door-to-balloon times. Identifying potential areas in care that can be further optimized to...

Worse outcomes in transfused patients have been observed in various settings, but little is known about the significance of RBC transfusion in patients with peripheral arterial disease. We queried the NSQIP database to examine the effect of...
