Abstract Introduction: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between postoperative mortality, morbidity, hospital stay and development of postoperative complications with the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients who underwent elective coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery. Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent CABG at our clinic between January 2015 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into two groups according to their diabetes mellitus (DM) diagnosis. Diabetic patients were also divided into two groups according to their HbA1c levels. The HbA1c threshold value was 7%. All patients were divided into two groups in terms of LVEF. The LVEF threshold value was 40%. Results: We analyzed 393 patients, of which 304 (77.4%) were male and 177 (45.04%) patients were diabetic. For lower LVEF and HbA1c values, we found no relationship between postoperative mortality, prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay and development of postoperative complications. Deep surgical site infection (DSSI) was found to be more common in diabetic patients who had a higher HbA1c value. Length of hospital stay was longer in diabetic patients with HbA1c levels <7%. Conclusion: No statistically significant relationship was found between LVEF and HbA1c levels and postoperative mortality, prolonged ICU stay and postoperative complications.

Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to review the surgical excision results and pathological diagnostic features of rarely observed intracardiac masses in the light of the literature. Diagnosis and treatment approaches and complications were evaluated. Methods: Forty patients (26 females, mean age 52.1±18.1 years, and 14 males, mean age 48.1±20.5 years), who had undergone surgery for intracardiac mass between January 2008 and December 2018, were included in this study. The patients' data were analyzed retrospectively from the medical records of both centers. Results: When the pathological diagnoses were examined, 85.8% of the masses (n=35) were observed to be benign (benign tumor + hydatid cyst) and 14.2% (n=5) were malignant tumors. The masses were most commonly located in the left atrium (75%, n=30), and this was followed by the right ventricle (12.5%, n=5), right atrium (7.5%, n=3), and left ventricle (5%, n=2). Of the patients, 7.5% (n=3) died during the early postoperative period, while the remaining 92.5% (n=37) were discharged with healing. In the histopathological diagnosis of the patients, in whom in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events were observed, there was malignancy in two cases. Conclusion: Intracardiac masses, which have pathological features, are severe life-threatening problems. In-hospital mortality is frequent, especially in malignant tumors.
