Preoperative dental screening before cardiac valve surgery is widely accepted but its required scope remains unclear. This study evaluates two preoperative (PDS) approaches, a focused approach (FocA) and comprehensive (CompA), to compare postsurgical 90-day mortality.Retrospective cohort analysis was performed on all patients who underwent at Brigham Women's Hospital with FocA Massachusetts General CompA of PDS from January 2009 December 2016. Patients intravenous drug abuse systemic...
Introduction Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving technology capable of restoring perfusion but not without significant complications that limit its realizable therapeutic benefit. ECMO-induced hemodynamics increase cardiac afterload risking left ventricular distention and impaired recovery. To mitigate potentially harmful effects, multiple strategies to unload the ventricle (LV) are used in clinical practice data supporting optimal approach presently lacking....
The Core-Knot device is an automatic fastener used mainly in minimally invasive heart valve surgery procedures, to facilitate knot tying. purpose of this report compare ischemic time and outcomes surgical aortic replacements (SAVRs) utilizing the compared with manually tied knots. Between January, 2014 December, 2016, 119 patients underwent SAVR Cape Cod Hospital. We patient's characteristics, cross-clamp time, 75 who using those 44 operated Patient characteristics were similar between...
Objective Continuous-flow (CF) left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have replaced pulsatile flow (PF) LVADs irrespective of concerns from the physiologic changes/morbidity secondary to lack pulsatility. Data comparing posttransplant outcomes in patients with CF vs PF are limited and conflicting. We used Organ Procurement Transplant Network database compare between LVAD patients. Methods From 1 January 2005 31 December 2011, 3449 adult underwent primary heart alone transplantation. The...
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a temporary mechanical circulatory support system that may be used as lifesaving therapy for patients in acute heart failure and bridge to definitive management. Physical these remains challenging, with limited protocols guide practitioners.We describe case of 37-year-old gentleman who presented familial cardiomyopathy cardiogenic shock.Our patient underwent urgent peripheral venoarterial followed by successful transplantation....
Combined heart-liver transplant is an emerging option for patients with indications heart transplantation and otherwise prohibitive hepatic dysfunction. Heart-liver particularly relevant single ventricle physiology who often develop Fontan-associated liver disease fibrosis. Although only performed at a limited number of centers, several approaches to combined have been described. The en bloc technique offers potential advantages over the traditional sequential technique. Specifically, may...
Introduction:As attending surgeons' comfort with single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) grows, and continued improvement in surgical instruments, advanced techniques are increasingly being incorporated into training. The aim of our study was to evaluate resident performance patient outcomes patients undergoing resident-performed SILS versus a traditional cholecystectomy (LC).Methods:A retrospective case-control 80 elective intervention (n = 20) or LC 60) for gallbladder disease over...
Background The purpose of this study was to assess the impact aortic valve morphology on 3D blood flow dynamics and wall shear stress (WSS) in normal a wide range congenitally altered valves ranging from unicuspid quadricuspid morphology. Methods In-vivo hemodynamics were evaluated by MRI 17 patients with (n=3), bicuspid (n=9, 3 true bicuspid, right-left (RL) coronary leaflet fusion, right-non (RN) fusion), trileaflet (n=2). Valve assessed using 2D CINE MRI. Aortic measured ECG respiration...
