Readmission after major pancreatic resection: a necessary evil?
In this practice-based analysis, readmissions after pancreatic resection were frequent, early, costly, and largely related to procedure-specific complications. As initial hospital stay continues to decline in high-acuity surgery, readmissions might be required for optimal management of complications, which often manifest later in the recovery course. Clinical pathway deviations predict potential readmissions, and might prompt adjustments in management and disposition of patients at risk for returning to the hospital.
This study provides evidence that ACE plays a role in cuff-induced neointimal thickening in mice. Nitric oxide may contribute, at least in part, to the inhibitory effects of perindopril.
