Cases by procedure type and clinical status
The remaining cardiac surgery cases are divided into four other major subgroups – isolated valve, isolated valve combined with CABG, aortic procedures and ‘other cardiac’. Note: the ‘other cardiac’ procedure group included two transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures performed by a cardiothoracic surgeon in the operating theatres. These cases were also included in the data set submitted to the ANZSCTS Cardiac Surgery Database Program for 2021. Breakdown by procedure type and clinical status Table 4 and Figure 5 show the breakdown of all cardiac surgery cases by procedure type and clinical status; grouped as elective and urgent/emergency. In 2021: • 49.7% of RNSH cardiac surgery cases were classified as elective surgery operations • 40.6% of RNSH cardiac surgery cases were classified as urgent surgery operations • 8.8% of RNSH cardiac surgery cases were classified as emergency surgery operations • 0.9% of RNSH cardiac surgery cases were classified as salvage surgery operations
