Objective: Preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump use in high-risk patients undergoing surgical coronary revascularization is still a matter of debate. The objective this study to determine whether the preoperative an improves outcome after operations patients. Design: Single-center prospective randomized controlled trial. Setting: Tertiary cardiac surgery center, research hospital. Patients: One hundred ten subjects operations, with poor left ventricular ejection fraction (< 35%) and no...
The interest in isolated tricuspid valve disease has rapidly increased recently. However, clinical trials and registry data are rare the surgical literature. This study aimed to describe early long-term outcomes of a real-world experience procedures comparing repair replacement strategies.The Surgical-Tricuspid is multicentre retrospective that enrolled adult patients who had undergone surgery at 13 international sites. Propensity score-matched analysis was used compare versus replacement.A...
Abstract When castor oil was administered by gavage to rats, the duodenum and jejunum, but not stomach, produced large amounts of platelet activating factor 3–7 h after challenge with a peak at 3 h. Intraluminal release acid phosphatase also markedly increased in jejunum oil-treated especially 3–5 challenge. No increase observed stomach. There correlation between elevated intestinal hyperaemia.
We described clinical-epidemiological features of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and assessed the determinants early surgical outcomes in multicentre design.Data regarding 2823 patients undergoing surgery for at 19 Italian Centers between 1979 2015 were collected a database. Of them, 582 had PVE: this group, mortality complications assessed, also taking into account different chronological eras encompassed by study.Overall hospital (30-day) was 19.2% (112 patients). Postoperative any...
Aim of this study is to analyse the performances Clinical Risk Score (CRS) and European System for Cardiac Operative Evaluation (EuroSCORE)-II in isolated tricuspid surgery.Three hundred eighty-three patients (54 ± 16 year; 54% female) were enrolled. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed evaluate relationship between true positive fraction test results false-positive a procedure.Considering 30-day mortality area under curve 0.6 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.50-0.72)...
Perioperative heart failure (HF) in coronary operations is accompanied by a high operative mortality rate. An intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) often used to treat this syndrome. The correct timing for IABP insertion after completion of the operation has not yet been investigated. aim study was investigate perioperative HF patients who had undergone with respect early or late use IABP.This retrospective including 7,270 surgery without associated procedures. A population extracted and analyzed...
The Trifecta aortic bioprosthesis (St. Jude Medical, Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) is a stented pericardial heart valve with excellent preliminary results. Aim of the study was to evaluate its early clinical and hemodynamic performances in multicenter regional registry.Between January 2011 June 2012, 178 consecutive patients undergoing replacement were prospectively enrolled at 9 Italian centers. Clinical echocardiographic data collectedat discharge, 6-months 1-year postoperatively.The average...
ObjectivesThe role of the underlying etiology in isolated tricuspid valve surgery has not been investigated extensively current literature. Aim this study was to analyse outcomes patients undergoing due endocarditis compared other pathologies.MethodsThe SURTRI is a multicenter enrolling adult who underwent (n = 406, 55 ± 16 y.o.; 56% female) at 13 international sites. Propensity weighted analysis performed compare groups (IE group n 107 vs Not-IE 299).ResultsNo difference found regarding...
Aneurysms of the sinus Valsalva are a rare aortic pathology. Congenital aneurysms caused by weakness at junction media and annulus fibrosus occur more commonly than acquired aneurysms, which typically secondary to disease processes that involve root. The both can remain clinically silent for many years. About half associated with regurgitation. Symptoms be mechanical obstruction, compression conducting system, or intracardiac rupture. Herein, case 77 years old man, no specific cardiologic...
Aim of the study was to evaluate gelatinolytic activity in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid from a sample group subjects with Marfan syndrome.Two groups were analyzed this case-control study. A 28 syndrome (MG) recruited Centre for Rare Disease, Clinic Tor Vergata University Hospital. The second sample, 23 subjects, same characteristics without any syndrome, control (CG). Saliva collected transferred sterile test tube stored frozen at - 20 °C until analysis Medical Chemistry Laboratory....
A single or a prolonged oral administration of senna (60 mg kg-1) to rats did not increase either colonic PAF (platelet activating factor) content intraluminal release acid phosphatase. similar result was observed in the tissue perfused in-vitro with rhein (1-300 micrograms mL-1) rhein-anthrone mL-1). castor oil (2 mL) increased both and Colonic calcium ionophore A23187 (1 10 formed large amounts Since can mediate intestinal damage phosphatase is marker cellular injury, we conclude that its...
To compare early and late mortality of acute isolated tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE) treated with repair or replacement.Patients who were surgically for TVIE from 1983 to 2018 retrieved the Italian Registry Surgical Treatment Valve Prosthesis Infective Endocarditis. All patients followed up by means phone interview calling patient referral physicians cardiologists. Kaplan-Meier method was used assess survival free recurrence log-rank test univariate comparison. The primary end...
