Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) is an appealing alternative to the standard surgical approach, but requires rigorous radiological follow-up. The cumulative radiation exposure (RE) of patients undergoing TEVAR-including pre-operative workup, procedure and subsequent follow-up computed tomography (CT) imaging-has not previously been investigated.From August 2003 February 2011, 48 underwent TEVAR at our institution. Mean age was 66 ± 11 years, with 10 (21%) aged <60 years....
We investigated the presence of antibiotics in cryopreserved cardiovascular tissues and cryopreservation media, after tissue decontamination with antibiotic cocktails, impact residues on standard bank microbiological analyses. Sixteen were decontaminated bank-prepared cocktails by two different banks according to their operating procedures. Before decontamination, samples underwent analysis methods. Cryopreserved tested again without removal using a RESEP tube, thawing. Presence homogenates...
Complete myocardial revascularization is the standard for coronary artery bypass grafting. It has been shown, however, that off-pump surgery (OPCAB) may reduce completeness of without affecting perioperative infarction rates. We evaluated influence OPCAB on major postoperative events in a large consecutive cohort patients, with special emphasis risk factors infarction.From 1995 to 2004, 5935 patients underwent isolated surgery; these, 4623 (77.9%) and 1312 (22.1%) on-pump (CABG) OPCAB,...
Abstract Background The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the role in onset surgical site infections bilateral internal thoracic arteries harvesting patients with decompensated preoperative glycemia. Methods 81 consecutive uncontrolled diabetes mellitus underwent elective CABG single or double arteries. Single left ITA was harvested 41 (Group 1, 50.6%), BITAs were 40 2, 49.4%). major clinical end points analyzed infection rate, type infection, duration relapse rate and total...
Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of cryopreservation on glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content aortic allografts. Twenty‐one porcine valves were obtained. Five roots immediately analyzed without cryopreservation, eight cryopreserved in closed leaflet position, and open position. The groups compared terms GAG concentration subclass proportion three different zones including root wall, commissures, leaflets. at commissures significantly lower group than other ( P = 0.001)....
The levels and fine structure of complex polysaccharides, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), were determined in segments the posterior mitral valve leaflet (MVL) taken from 15 patients affected by regurgitation degenerative disease compared with multiorgan donors.MVL GAGs analyzed agarose gel electrophoresis, HPLC fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis to evaluate disaccharide patterns after treatment chondroitinase ABC.GAGs control group composed approximately 37% hyaluronic acid 63%...
This study was performed to assess if the kind of pump used for CPB (roller vs. centrifugal) can influence neurological outcomes adult cardiac surgery patients. Between 1994 and 1998, 3438 patients underwent coronary and/or valve at our hospital; these, 1805 (52.5%) with use a centrifugal pump, 1633 (47.5%) were operated roller pump. The effect type common preoperative intraoperative risk factors five different (permanent deficit, coma, delirium, transient overall complications) assessed...
