ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with advanced age and frailty require interventions for structural heart disease at an increasing rate. These patients typically experience higher rates of postoperative morbidity, mortality and prolonged hospital length of stay, loss of independence as well as associated increased costs to the healthcare system. Therefore, it is becoming critically important to raise awareness and develop strategies to improve clinical outcomes in the contemporary, high-risk patient population undergoing cardiacprocedures. RECENT FINDINGS:
Percutaneous options for structural heart disease have dramatically improved the therapeutic options for some older, frail, high-risk patients; however, others may still require cardiac surgery. Minimally invasive techniques can reduce some of the physiologic burden experienced by patients undergoing surgery and improve recovery. Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery (ERAS Cardiac) is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach to perioperative care. It has been shown to improve recovery and patient satisfaction while reducing complications and length of stay.SUMMARY:
Combining minimally invasive cardiac surgery with enhanced recovery protocols may result in improved patient outcomes for a patient population at high risk of morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery.
