Intravenous fosfomycin (FOS) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic primarily used in combination therapy to treat severe infections caused by both Gram-positive (GP) and Gram-negative (GN) pathogens, including multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. The aim of this study, the largest date, was evaluate effectiveness, safety, usage patterns, patient characteristics FOS real-world setting. Interim analysis an ongoing, prospective, non-interventional, multicentre study five European countries, involving...
The effects of thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) on the biomechanical properties aortic tissue have not been adequately studied. Understanding these features is important for management endograft-triggered complications a nature. This study aims to examine how stent-graft implantation affects elastomechanical behavior aorta. Non-pathological human aortas (n=10) were subjected long-standing perfusion (8h) within mock circulation loop under physiological conditions. To quantify compliance...
Aortic dissections (ADs) are serious conditions of the main artery human body, where a tear in inner layer aortic wall leads to formation new blood flow channel, named false lumen. ADs affecting aorta distally left subclavian classified as Stanford type B dissection (type AD). This is linked substantial morbidity and mortality, however, course disease for individual case often unpredictable. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) gold standard diagnosis AD. To advance tools available analysis...
Summary Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been a routine procedure for quite some years. Advancements in technology and experience have enabled its use even more challenging anatomies. Case report An 83-year-old female patient with severe pathology due to chronic type A dissection after supracoronary ascending repair was suffering from progressive dyspnea recurrent cardiac decompensations stenosis. She successfully treated transapical TAVI by our interdisciplinary...
