To assess transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) using second harmonic imaging with Valsalva manoeuvre compared to transesophageal (TEE) for the diagnosis of right left cardiac and pulmonary shunts.One hundred ten patients referred TEE underwent TTE bubble contrast. Bubbles in atrium within three cycles were considered diagnostic a patent foramen ovale (PFO) later as shunt. Greater than 20 bubbles was large shunt less small performed immediately afterwards read blinded results. Pick-up rates...
Objective— Coronary calcium score (CCS), carotid plaque area (CPA), intima-media thickness (IMT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) are independent predictors of cardiovascular prognosis. Although each test may enhance risk stratification, their comparative abilities to screen for underlying coronary stenoses in individual patients is less established. Methods Results— Forty-two who had a 16-slice computed tomography angiogram (CTA) performed were invited have CPA, IMT, CRP measured. CPA was...
To assess the impact of personnel and unit factors on outcome from cardiac arrest in a dedicated pediatric intensive care unit.Retrospective medical record review.Dedicated at quaternary academic children's hospital.Children young adults who had while cared for January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2008.None.One hundred two index arrests over 3-yr period our were reviewed. We defined successful resuscitation as either return spontaneous circulation or cannulation extracorporeal membrane...
OBJECTIVE To assess the use of mitomycin C, by urologists within UK, as a single‐dose intravesical agent. Current European recommendations are to one dose after any new tumour resection. METHODS We assessed current patterns C usage amongst British urologists, particularly with reference instillation resecting bladder tumour, hypothesizing that would in line guidelines. A one‐page questionnaire was mailed 527 consultant UK enquiring about their superficial cancer. second mailing sent...
Heart failure patients with pacemaker or defibrillator-associated endocarditis in cardiogenic shock have few treatment options. We present a case of an INTERMACS I patient who developed device infection, sepsis, bacterial pericarditis and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. The was stabilized extracorporeal membrane oxygenation successfully transplanted.
Introduction: A association between partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) and systemic anomalies has been described in the literature, but true incidence is yet to be elucidated. At our institution, we sought find of a persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) patients undergoing an operation for PAPVC. Methods: retrospective review all pediatric adult with PAPVC who underwent surgical repair from February 2006 2016. All clinical, radiographic, operative data were reviewed....
Percutaneous therapies for congenital heart disease have been evolving rapidly despite limited investment from industry. The Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve (Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, MN USA) replacement therapy represents an important advancement in this arena. It has approved the United States use position, on a Humanitarian Device Exemption status. Off-label of extended to mitral, pulmonary, and aortic valves, especially previously implanted valves with prosthetic degeneration....

The authors report a case of Aspergillus aortitis and aortic valve endocarditis that developed after coronary artery bypass surgery resulting in recurrent, embolic, bilateral lower extremity ischemia. This necessitated multiple embolectomies followed by redo-sternotomy, extensive annular debridement, root reconstruction with modified Bentall technique, hemiarch replacement. highlights the challenges diagnosis management this rare disease entity some its devastating complications.
High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) evaluation adds prognostic information beyond that available from Framingham risk scores (FRS) and is a useful tool to further stratify patients at intermediate risk. However, the clinical utility of hsCRP in routine practice remains unclear. We investigated how may change cardiovascular stratification 100 deemed by FRS. Intermediate was defined as FRS 6–19% each patient's status reevaluated based on established screening guidelines define low...
Background: The radial artery (RA) is often utilized for diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention. Recent high-level evidence supports RA use in preference to saphenous vein as a conduit revascularization. Aim: To demonstrate gross histologic changes of the following transradial access. Methods: We present two patients who had open harvest bypass surgery after catheterization. Results: Examination 8 years catheterization demonstrated thickened intima dissection,...
