Abstract

With presented study we intend to compare cardiac surgical practice in Varna - Bulgaria with data presented by First Adult Cardiac Surgery Database Report 2003 (FACSDR 2003), which is representative for European cardiac surgical practice. Ten months results of University Cardiac Surgery Department - Varna were used. Demographic profile, type of the operation, hospital stay and mortality were studied and compared. All selected parameters were comparable with those from FACSDR 2003. Major tendencies of modern cardiac surgery were summarized and extrapolated to Bulgarian population. The grounds for national cardiac surgical registry in Bulgaria were stated.
