Background— Patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have been frequently complicated ascending dilation possibly because of hemodynamic burdens by stenosis (AS) or regurgitation (AR) congenital fragility the wall. Methods and Results— To clarify if could be prevented replacement (AVR) in BAV patients, we studied 13 (8 AR dominant, 5 AS dominant) 14 tricuspid (TAV) patients (7 AR, 7 AS) echocardiography before after AVR (9.7±4.8 years). We also 18 (11 without AVR. Diameters sinuses...
Activated leukocytes and oxygen free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lung injury associated with cardiopulmonary bypass. To determine whether leukocyte depletion could prevent this injury, we used a dog model simulating routine cardiac operations. Mongrel dogs (11 to 17 kg) were subjected bypass bubble oxygenator cooled 27° C. After aortic crossclamping cardioplegic arrest for 90 minutes, control animals (n = 5) rewarmed weaned from bypass, their condition was then...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect timing valve surgery on clinical outcomes patients with active infective endocarditis (IE) accompanied by cerebral complications. We retrospectively analysed a cohort 568 patients, comprising 118 non-haemorrhagic infarction (CI), 54 intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) and 396 without events (C; control), who underwent for left-sided IE in 15 Japanese institutes from 2000 2011. mean age 58.4 ± 16.9 years CI group; 54.5 17.4 ICH group 56.9 16.0 C...
The goal of this retrospective study was to determine the late outcome surgical treatment for aortic valve regurgitation due Takayasu arteritis and correlate it with evidence inflammation on pathological examination.Ninety consecutive patients who underwent surgery between 1979 2003 were studied. Intraoperative specimens wall from 69 retrospectively examined inflammation. Aortic replacement performed in 63 (group A) composite graft repair 27 B). root diameter 39.9+/-9.5 mm group A...
Recent studies indicated that successful maze procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF) adjunct to mitral valve surgery provided a lower incidence of stroke and recurrence AF. The purpose this study is review the 13-year experience these combined procedures identify risk factors late outcomes compared failed procedures.At single institution, 521 consecutive patients underwent with replacements or valvuloplasties. Three kinds techniques were primarily used: Cox-maze III, Kosakai maze, cryo-maze...
The maze procedure is an effective way to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) associated with mitral valve disease. In a last several years, cryoablation was substituted for incision in many reports simplify the procedure. However, there has been no comparative study delineate feasibility of use cryoablation.We compared early and intermediate-term results including pulmonary venous isolation from left atrium using (CM) our conventional (Kosakai) (KM) encircling around orifices veins. One hundred...
