RESUMEN
We performed 1, 739 cardiac surgery procedures between August 1988 and jully 1991 at the San Pablo Heart Institute. The statistics for mortality and morbidity are among the best in the nation and they showed an overall mortality for the entire period of 1.8%, a mortality for coronary artery bypass graft of 1.5% no patient has died as a results of mitral valve replacement, and a mortality of 1.1% for aortic valve replacement. We have demostrated that our cardiac surgery team is capable of performing a high volume of these procedures with good results
