In this White Paper, we present recommendations for the scientific community and funding agencies to foster infrastructure a collaborative multi-messenger time-domain astronomy (MMA/TDA) ecosystem. MMA/TDA is poised breakthrough discoveries in coming decade. much same way that expanding beyond optical bandpass revealed entirely new unexpected discoveries, cosmic messengers light (i.e., gravitational waves, neutrinos, rays) open windows answer some of most fundamental questions...
Hurler-Scheie syndrome is a rare lysosomal storage disease affecting the cardiovascular system. Besides cardiac manifestations, it presents with complications from abnormal proteoglycan deposition in soft tissues many locations, resulting joint contractures, paraplegia, impaired vision, airway narrowing and restrictive lung function, to name few. There are very few reports of surgical management valvular heart due mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). We describe successful patient an extremely...
Introduction Patients with complex coronary artery disease and severe aortic stenosis unsuitable for conventional cardiac surgery pose a significant treatment challenge. This is especially difficult patients where percutaneous revascularization technically very challenging and/or would not offer as complete revascularisation compared to surgical revascularisation. In addition, who are transfemoral transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI) an additional technical challenge, particularly dual...
Objective The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has restructured the healthcare systems, prioritizing resources to treat COVID-19 patients. aim of this study was establish if patients affected by acute aortic syndrome (AAS) had unrestricted access emergency treatment and evaluate outcome these during peak pandemic. Methods This is a retrospective analysis prospectively collected data between March June 2020 from 19 participating cardiac surgery centers in United Kingdom. Results...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a safe modality of cardiorespiratory support for lung transplantation, with reduction in coagulopathy and transfusion requirement when compared cardiopulmonary bypass. In some scenarios, there are advantages to the use bypass, which allows cardiac decompression, filtering embolic air, easy addition removal volume, means immediately reintroduce lost blood into circulation. We describe novel circuit switch between modalities without prolonged interruption...
Abstract Background Surgical resection is the gold standard treatment for management of early-stage lung cancer. Several modifiable factors may significantly influence postoperative morbidity and mortality. We examined outcomes patients following based upon preoperative smoking status to quantify impact on outcomes. Methods Data from consecutive resections January 1, 2012 June 11, 2021 were included. Biopsies interstitial disease emphysematous or bullae excluded. Patients divided into three...
Abstract Management of acute Type A aortic dissection can be complicated by patient comorbidities. We describe the case a 29-year-old female with preexisting peripartum cardiomyopathy who developed dissection. Surgery was performed and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) instituted. She left hospital on 71st postoperative day. It is extremely rare for to develop an Deferring this patient's surgery ECMO center crucial her survival.
U.K. blood component labels have evolved to accommodate a plethora of information. Concern has, however, been expressed that current labelling is too 'cluttered', detracting from the clarity critical This prompted holistic review and available information technology (IT) with aim improving situation.A survey was circulated requiring hospital participants rank each item on label according its 'criticality' assess three novel 'future' one 'transition' prototype labels. Prototypes were based...
Hybrid surgical approaches are gaining popularity. Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement and percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI] is well documented. We wanted to explore the feasibility of trans-catheter implantation [TAVI] off pump artery bypass grafts [OPCAB].
Obesity is a major problem with the number of obese patients presenting to cardiac surgery ever increasing. Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) one modality commonly used mechanically reduce food intake and also promotes early satiety. Late complications device may occur in up 20% cases; increasing 30% pregnancy. We report first case late complication LAGB after cardiopulmonary bypass.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is at present reserved for patients with severe stenosis who are high risk conventional surgery or surgical access difficult due to heavily calcified aorta (porcelain aorta). However the calcium spikes root could pose a problem during balloon valvuloplasty resulting in rupture of balloon.
A 47-year-old patient was injured in a bomb blast and sustained trauma due to multiple fragments of shrapnel from terrorist explosive device. We report on the surgery required safely remove piece anterior wall main pulmonary artery (PA). chest X-ray revealed left-sided haemothorax. computed tomography scan confirmed trajectory position metal bolt that had lodged between PA aortic arch. At surgery, limited left thoracotomy performed initially. significant quantity blood observed pericardium,...
