In 2020, IJN surgeons performed a total of 4,161 cardiothoracic surgeries including:
In 2020, IJN surgeons performed 1,255 closed heart surgeries and 2,906 open heart surgeries:
Patients with a complex medical background present greater challenges for cardiac surgery. Almost half the patients had diabetes mellitus at time of surgery, and more than two thirds had hypertension and hypercholesterolemia.
In 2020, patients who have had cardiac surgeries had more complex backgrounds than patients at comparable hospitals as evidenced by higher EuroSCORE – Parsonnet average risk scores.
All operations
The survival rate for all open heart surgery was 95.9% in 2020, which is better than the predicted survival rate estimated by the EuroSCORE scoring system.
Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
The survival rate for CABG surgery was 96.9% in 2020, which is better than the predicted survival rate estimated by the EuroSCORE scoring system.
Mitral Valve Repair is preferred over valve replacement whenever suitable. We report that there was no
death (mortality) for patients undergoing mitral valve repair from 2018 to 2020.
VSD Closure is the commonest surgery for acyanotic congenital heart defects. The death (mortality) rate for simple VSD closure is 0% in 2020.
TOF correction is the most common surgery performed for cyanotic congenital heart defects. The death (mortality) rate for simple TOF correction is 0% in 2019.
