The concentration of specialized burn care to relatively few centers within large geographic regions requires an organized system patient triage, referral, and transport. purpose this study was identify systematic errors in either the initial evaluation or patients requiring transport more than 90 miles a single regional center. Therefore, we undertook descriptive analysis transported center from 2000 2003. outcomes interest were duration transport, size estimation, fluid management,...
Geometric ring annuloplasty has shown promise during bicuspid aortic valve repair for insufficiency. This study examined early outcomes of associated with proximal aneurysm replacement.From September 2017 to November, 2021, 127 patients underwent concomitant reconstruction. Patient age was 50.6 ± 12.7 years (mean standard deviation), male gender 83%, New York Heart Association Class 2 (1-2) (median [interquartile range]), and preoperative insufficiency grade 3 (2-4). Ascending diameter 50...
The incidence of sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD) remains unclear in patients with a continuous flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Polysomnography (PSG) the gold standard for diagnosis, but logistical challenges make home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) more practical alternative. WatchPat has failed to accurately diagnose SRBD this population. In contrast, NOX-T3 utilizes channels monitor physiological variables potentially offering improved diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, we...
Background Combined heart and kidney transplantation ( HKT x) is performed in patients with severe failure advanced renal insufficiency. We analyzed the long‐term survival after x, influence of age dialysis status, rates cardiac rejection, sensitization. Methods Results From June 1992 to December 2016, we 100 x procedures. compared older (≥60 years, n=53) younger (<60 n=47) recipients, recipients on preoperative (n=49) not (n=51). actuarial freedom from any acute cellular...
Patients with cardiogenic shock may require stabilization temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) to assess candidacy for definitive therapy, including heart transplantation (HTx) or durable MCS, and/or maintain stability while on the HTx waiting list. We describe clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) vs. Impella [Abiomed, Danvers, MA, USA] placement at a high-volume advanced failure center. assessed ≥ 18 years received IABP...
The Impella 5.0 and 5.5 have largely superseded non-ambulatory temporary mechanical support devices; yet, clinical outcomes are predominantly limited to small series: this study presents the experience of a high-volume centre.
Indications for heart transplantation are expanding to include amyloid light chain (AL) and transthyretin-related (TTR) amyloidosis. Previously, AL had been a contraindication given inferior outcomes. These patients typically have biventricular failure requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS). We report the outcomes of with end-stage cardiac amyloidosis who underwent transplantation, including some were bridged durable MCS The records transplant between 2010 2018 reviewed. Primary...
