Nineteen ninety-nine presented an outstanding<br />

opportunity to the cardiothoracic<br />

division, with additional continued<br />

increases in the cardiac and thoracic<br />

procedures during the year. This<br />

opportunity further strengthened the<br />

group's productivity and research<br />

opportunities. The introduction of minimally<br />

invasive techniques and “OP-<br />

CAB” further defined our course. In<br />

addition, we have expanded to provide<br />

critical care in the Acute Cardiac Unit<br />

as an additional resource in the perioperative<br />

care of patients.<br />

Clinical Activity<br />

The practice of cardiothoracic anesthesia<br />

has broadened markedly at Duke<br />

and across the nation. The trend continues<br />

toward less invasive mechanism<br />

to treat cardiothoracic disease including<br />

video-assisted thoracoscopic procedures,<br />

as well as midCAB (coronary<br />

artery bypass) and OPCAB (off bypass<br />

coronary artery bypass) beating heart<br />

revascularization procedures. The<br />

Cardiothoracic Division led an initiative<br />

for the development of an interventional<br />

suite in the operating room to allow<br />

combined cardiology, cardiac surgery<br />

and vascular surgery procedures to be<br />

performed in a cost-effective multidisciplinary<br />

manner. The Division is at the<br />

forefront of evaluating these minimally<br />

invasive technologies, and how they<br />

affect both short and long-term outcome.<br />

It remains inherently important<br />

due to the risk of reoperation that our<br />

patients receive the best therapy for<br />

long-term survival and quality of life.<br />

The Cardiothoracic Division is a<br />

world leader in the measurement and<br />

understanding of perioperative complications<br />

in many organ systems. We are<br />

now using this evidence to further<br />

improve the safety for our patients and<br />

protect their long-term quality of life.<br />
