Despite substantial progress in surgical techniques and perioperative management, the treatment long-term follow-up of type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) still remain a major challenge. The objective this retrospective, multicentre study was to assess large series patients early results after surgery for AAD. We analysed preoperative, intraoperative postoperative conditions 1.148 consecutive surgically treated seven referral centres from 1981 2013. applied each patient three different...
Background and Objective . Renal Doppler resistive index (RDRI) is a noninvasive considered to reflect renal vascular perfusion. The aim of this study was identify the independent hemodynamic determinants RDRI in mechanically ventilated patients after cardiac surgery. Methods determined 61 by color pulse ultrasonography interlobar arteries. Intermittent thermodilution output measurements were obtained blood samples taken from tip pulmonary artery catheter measure hemodynamics mixed venous...
The aim of our study is to compare the classical surgical tracheostomy (TT) technique with a modified designed and created by cardiothoracic surgery staff department reduce trauma postoperative complications. This combines features percutaneous TT avoiding use specialized tools, which are required in TT.From October 2008 March 2014 we performed 67 tracheostomies using this New Modified Surgical Technique (NMST) 56 Classical (CST). We collected data about early clinical complications, deaths...
Epidemiological data show a rise in the mean age of patients affected by heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery.Senescent myocardium reduces tolerance to ischemic stress and there are indications about ageassociated deficit post-operative performance.Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), more specifically its reduced form ubiquinol (QH), improve several conditions related bioenergetic or increased exposure oxidative stress.This trial (Eudra-CT 2009-015826-13) evaluated clinical biochemical effects 50...
There is an increasing number of patients with mitral regurgitation secondary to dilated cardiomyopathy. Recent data suggest that (MR) can be surgically corrected in heart failure symptomatic improvements and favourable reverse left ventricular remodeling. However, several questions remain answered, regarding the optimal management functional regurgitation, correct timing surgery choice surgical technique perform affected by In setting ischemic chronic cardiomyopathy, derived from recent...
Background The effects of fat microembolization due to cardiopulmonary bypass are well known in cardiac surgery. Our aim is evaluate the use RemoweLL device (Eurosets, Medolla, Italy) during elective aortic valve replacement elderly patients (>70 years old) rate its biochemical and clinical effects. an oxygenator-integrated reservoir which combines two strategies for emboli leucocytes removal: filtration supernatant elimination. Methods Forty-four were enrolled assigned randomly a Group A...
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related sclerosing disease in the cardiovascular system is a recently proposed entity, which still unfamiliar to most clinicians. We present case of IgG4-related periaortitis ascending aorta undergoing emergent surgical revascularization. During operation we found an extremely thick and stiff that led us incomplete revascularization due impossibility cross-clamp vessel. performed several biopsies confirmed diagnosis IgG-4 related aortitis. Before discharging patients...
Treatment of aortic arch aneurysm with standard open surgery is technically demanding, and associated morbidity mortality are not insignificant. In high-risk patients, hybrid procedures debranching reimplantation or bypass the vessel followed by thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) in represent a valid alternative to surgery. However, when ascending aorta mildly dilated, risk retrograde dissection increases sharply. Here, we report case aneurysm, normal diameter, treated Type I anterograde...
