[Cardiovascular surgery in Spain in 1992. The Registry of Operations of the Spanish Society of Cardiovascular Surgery (SECCV)].
The Spanish Society of Cardiovascular Surgery Registry of 1992 includes data from 41 centers. Within this year a total of 24,127 patients were operated on, with an average of 588 operations/center. Twelve thousand twenty-two of these were cardiac operations under extracorporeal circulation, with an average of 300 cases/hospital. The average of cardiac surgeons/hospital was 5.9 and the average of open heart operations/surgeon was 50. For the first time, the number of coronary bypass surgeries was superior to that of valvular procedures (5,049 vs 4,951). In the coronary bypass patients the average of grafts/patient was 2.43. The number of valvular prostheses implanted was 5,526 and 81% of these were mechanical. The number of patients operated on for congenital cardiac defects was 2,251 (1,278 open heart surgeries and 973 closed). The global mortality in the patients operated on under extracorporeal circulation was 7.6% (7.0% in valvular, 7.9% in congenital and 5.4% in coronary bypass). There were 6,054 patients subjected to surgery for peripheral vascular disease.
