Erythrocyte Transfusion and Long-Term Mortality in Open Heart Surgery in Adults
Tran, Long (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:196, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Background Approximately 3,000 cases of cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are performed each year in Norway. Cardiac surgery is performed to treat various disease of the heart, which includes ischemic, valvular, ... -
Limited effect of red blood cell transfusion on long-term mortality among anaemic cardiac surgery patients
Tran, Long; Greiff, Guri; Wahba, Alexander; Pleym, Hilde; Videm, Vibeke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)OBJECTIVES Our goal was to investigate long-term mortality associated with red blood cell (RBC) transfusion among patients with anaemia undergoing cardiac surgery when adjusting for known risk factors. METHODS Adults with ... -

Serotonin—A Driver of Progressive Heart Valve Disease
Waldum, Helge; Wahba, Alexander (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)It is well known that some serotoninergic drugs and neuroendocrine tumors producing serotonin (5-HT) may induce valvular heart disease by stimulation of proliferation of valvular cells via interaction with a 5-HT receptor ... -
Transfusion of red blood cells in coronary surgery: is there an effect on long-term mortality when adjusting for risk factors and postoperative complications?
Tran, Long; Greiff, Guri; Pleym, Hilde; Wahba, Alexander; Stenseth, Roar; Videm, Vibeke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare long-term mortality in patients undergoing primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting who received ≥1 units of red blood cells (RBCs) or no RBCs. We hypothesized that ...
