Abstract
The utilization of open cardiac surgery on patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in a very challenging perioperative management method. High rates of morbidity and mortality have been documented in the literature for patients who have undergone open heart surgery while infected with COVID-19; however, data on complications that may occur during and after surgery in patients with COVID-19 infection are limited. In this article, we aimed to present the clinical course and perioperative consequences of three patients with preoperative COVID-19 infection.Entities:
