Objective Severe decompensated aortic valve stenosis is associated with noticeable reduction in survival. Until recently the options for such patients were either high-risk surgery or percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty and medical therapy which does not add any survival benefits high rate of complications. We present our experience use transcatheter implantation (TAVI) severe requiring urgent intervention same hospital admission. Methods In this observational study, all who admitted...

Objectives The aim of this retrospective series is to describe the prevalence and clinical significance incidental findings found during pre–transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) work-up ascertain course such patients. Methods Consecutive patients undergoing TAVI from 2013 2015 where a CT assessment was performed (n=138) were included in study. All that not expected patient’s history discussed at multidisciplinary meeting order said whether they would alter proposed treatment....

Congenital pulmonary stenosis (PS) is a progressive disease. Balloon valvuloplasty (BPV) the treatment of choice in valvular PS.We aim to study relationship between biomarkers and echocardiographic markers PS assess impact BPV on these markers.Patients with moderate severe amenable for were recruited. Serum troponin I was measured. Echocardiographic assessment right ventricular (RV) function done. All patients underwent BPV. Troponin level data re-assessed 2 weeks 6 months after BPV.Fifty...

Diastolic function has been reported to be impaired in many patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP). CSFP broad spectrum of clinical presentations, including non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We sought study the short-term evolution diastolic presenting NSTEMI.

Background: Bilateral sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) and IV clonidine premedication could provide better hemodynamic parameters, surgical field, postoperative pain control during endoscopic sino-nasal surgery. Design: prospectiverandomized controlled comparative study. Methods: A total of 69 patients ASA grade I or II scheduled for surgery were equally divided into three groups (23 each): group; group. The technique done by lateral infra-zygomatic approach guided x-ray fluoroscopy. Iv...

Background: Left Ventricular reverse remodeling is a major indicator of functional improvement in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy undergoing revascularization. We aimed at investigating the ability right ventricular functions to predict left (LVRR) those patients. Patients and methods: Subjects presented ICM (n=52) were included underwent (RV) assessment. By end study divided into two groups depending on positive LVRR response defined as ≥15% decrease LV end-systolic volume (LVESV)....

In a trial to search for new antibiotic producer terrestrial actinomycete was isolated from AL-alameen soil which proved be potential candidate the production of active metabolites against E. coli 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus 25923. It identified phenotypicallyas Streptomyces sp. The optimum activity obtained when organism grown on glycerol as sole carbon source at 30°C pH 7.0 192 h. highest metabolic noticed intracellulary it approved with MIC values. test combined extract some...

Abstract Surgical aortic valve replacement represents a class one indication in the setting of endocarditis and decompensated heart failure secondary to regurgitation as per European Society Cardiology. However, extreme obesity, whereby body mass index (BMI) >40 kg/m2, challenging cohort patients. Performing cardiac surgery bariatric population is fraught with challenges pertaining intraoperative issues surgical access approach. We describe case 45-year-old gentleman who had previous...

Abstract Background Due to few sufficient data regarding the comparison between endoscopic and surgical resection of malignant colorectal polyps outcomes survival benefits, there are no clear guidelines management strategies polyps. The aims present study were compare alone in patients with colon (T1N0M0) readings advantages, disadvantages, recurrence risks, long-term prognosis detect how strategy affects outcome. Patients methods we included 350 patients. All divided into 2 groups; first...

Background: Congenital pulmonary stenosis (PS) is a progressive disease. Balloon valvuloplasty (BPV) the treatment of choice in valvular PS. Aim: We aim to study relationship between biomarkers and echocardiographic markers PS assess impact BPV on these markers. Patients & Methods with moderate severe amenable for were recruited. Serum troponin I was measured. Echocardiographic assessment right ventricular (RV)function done. All patients underwent BPV. Troponin level data re-assessed two...

ABSTRACTObjectives: To assess predictors of high thrombus burden in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention,We sought to study simple clinical and laboratory values.Methods: This cross-sectional was conducted cardiology department, Faculty medicine, Zagazig university hospitals. We studied underwent intervention attending our care unit enrolled 180 for the period between January 2019 2020.Results: Patients were classified into two...

AbstractBackground: Differentiation between atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) and accessory pathway-mediated reentrant (AVRT) is challenging even during electrophysiological testing.Objective: To use the beginning of RV entrainment to differentiate AVRT AVNRT as an independent criterion with high sensitivity specificity.Methods: We studied 50 patients supra-ventricular tachycardia. pacing was performed 10-40ms faster than Once a fixed QRS morphology observed in 12-leads ECG,...
