Effect of postoperative enhanced recovery program care compared to conventional care following aortic valve replacement

Description

Thomas Van Bos, Charlotte Erskine, Peter Verbrugghe, Steffen Rex, and Danny Feike Hoogma compare fast-track recovery care with standard intensive care after aortic valve replacement. Their retrospective analysis was published in twenty twenty-six. Recovery programs cut stress and speed organ recovery, but strong proof in heart surgery is scarce.

Patients with low surgical risk scores and moderate body size were included, spanning twenty eleven to twenty twenty. One group recovered in a post-anesthesia unit under the program; the other went to intensive care. Surgery and pre-care matched, so the contrast was purely the recovery path. Time to hospital discharge was the key outcome, adjusted for risk score, body size, and access route.
