Post-interventional VJI Thrombi After CPB
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective of the study is to prospectively analyse the occurrence of post-interventional internal vena jugularis (VJI) thrombi after minimally invasive cardiac surgery using a VJI cannula to perform cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The study follows the question whether the performance of a jugular cannulation for the operation under CPB regularly causes wall thromboses despite continuous anticoagulation and a short length of stay of a few hours. The thromboses to be assessed for the study will be obtained by bedside (Doppler) sonography by experienced intensive care physicians in the cardiac surgery intensive care unit. A prospective analysis of all minimal invasive procedures performed with regard to thrombi in the VJI.
Interventions
Observation of postinterventional internal jugular vein thrombus after minimally invasive cardiac surgery using VJI cannulation to achieve complete CPB.
