Organ malperfusion is a serious complication of acute type A aortic dissection. Management and outcome has been discussed in this study.Between November 1994 May 2003, 118 patients with dissections were operated. Fifty-seven (48.3%) complicated organ malperfusion, which considered as group I. Seventy-three ischemic events seen 57 malperfusion. Patients I divided into four subgroups according to affected system including limb (38 events), coronary (9 renal (2 visceral cerebral (15 events)...
Behçet's disease is a chronic multi-system presenting with recurrent oral and genital ulceration, relapsing uveitis. Cardiac involvement an extremely rare manifestation of this disorder. We report unusual case characterized by mural cardiac thrombi in the right atrium ventricle along transient protein C S deficiency.
Malignancy is an important complication after heart transplantation. The incidence, spectrum, risk factors, and clinical impact of posttransplant malignancy were investigated in a cohort patients with long-term follow-up at single center.Data for 835 who underwent transplantation between 1979 2002 survived beyond one month retrospectively evaluated skin cancer, solid organ tumors, lymphoma.One hundred thirty-nine malignancies developed 126 (15.1%). Skin lymphoma represented 49%, 27%, 24% the...
Cardiopulmonary bypass increases the blood levels of various immune mediators, thereby leading to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, e.g. sepsis, with some hemodynamic alterations, such as vasodilatation, tachycardia, and decrease in vascular resistance. Perioperative hemofiltration is one treatment modalities proposed prevent this syndrome. Modified has been introduced recently by investigators who recommend that former standard techniques are ineffective eliminating mediators. The...
Significant mitral regurgitation (MR) is thought to decrease after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, and therefore repair of valve not indicated in current practice. However, residual moderate severe MR leads pulmonary artery pressure increase, thereby resulting right (RV) dysfunction during follow-up. We examined the impact on systolic function ventricle by echocardiography LVAD implantation. This study included 90 patients (mean age: 51.7 ± 10.9 years, 14.4% female) who...
Especially in the last two decades, due to developments durable mechanical
 circulatory support (MCS) technology and applications, left ventricular assist (LVAD) implantation has become used more fragile end-stage heart failure patients with higher risk. 
 Despite advances patient care processes, right remains leading cause of morbidity mortality after LVAD implantation. It is difficult make decisions about type duration MCS during preoperative evaluation, many clinical,...
Abstract Pulmonary hypertension ( PH ) is considered as a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing heart transplantation. Recently, left ventricular assist device LVAD implantation has been increasingly used reducing pulmonary artery pressure PAP with unresponsive to medical therapy. Herein, we aimed compare the efficacy of continuous‐flow pulsatile‐flow blood pumps on improvement mechanical circulatory support patients. Twenty‐seven end‐stage failure who underwent...
Abstract Background and Aim: The presence of apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele is being considered as a risk factor for cognitive decline after cardiac surgery. We sought the effect on neurobehavioral status on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.Prior to operation, neurologic examination test (COGNISTAT) were performed. Both procedures repeated day discharge 3 months Apolipoprotein positive negative patients' performance COGNISTAT compared.There was no statistically significant demographic...
Abstract Background and Aim: We aimed to compare the immediate clinical outcome after different cerebral perfusion methods, examine factors affecting mortality neurological outcome. Methods: Between 1993 2006, 339 patients underwent proximal aortic operations using a period of protection. Among these, 161 (mean age 55 ± 12 years) who required protection longer than 25 minutes were included in analysis. Ascending aorta with or without root was replaced all patients. In addition, total arch...
Standard implantation of the HeartWare left ventricular assist system is performed using full sternotomy approach. However, successful devices in patients with a previous median sternotomy, especially high-risk patients, remains challenging. Herein, we compared by thoracotomy anastomosis outflow graft to descending aorta standard Between March 2013 and June 2016, implanted 118 adult system, excluding implants concurrent procedures, paediatric cases biventricular device. Of these implants, 30...
