The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the risk factors for early and late outcome surgical treatment acute type A aortic dissection, in terms mortality morbidity.From 1976 2003, 487 patients with dissection treated surgically were enrolled. Twenty-five pre-operative intra-operative variables analysed identify conditions influencing morbidity mortality. in-hospital rate including operative death 22% (107 patients). Multivariable analysis indicated that pre-existing cardiac...
The efficacy and durability of actual treatments (open, endovascular hybrid) for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair are not yet completely defined. Open surgical using a multi-adjunct (ADJ) approach has been the standard care many years may still be an effective treatment option. This study aimed to assess outcomes open TAAA since introduction available ADJ.From 1994 2014, 542 consecutive patients underwent in our institution, routinely receiving distal perfusion other ADJ...
Objectives: To describe morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing the elephant trunk (ET) implantation as first stage repair of their mega aorta to assess determinants for occurrence complications. Methods: One hundred consecutive an ET between 1984 June 2001 were retrospectively analyzed. The was implanted extension isolated aortic arch (1%), valve replacement+ascending aorta+arch (14%), a root (37%) ascending (48%). Indications surgery acute dissection inflammatory aneurysm (3%),...
<h3>Importance</h3> Resistance of gram-negative bacilli to carbapenems is rapidly emerging worldwide. In 2016, the World Health Organization defined hospital-built environment as a core component infection prevention and control programs. The has recently been reported source for outbreaks sporadic transmission events carbapenemase-producing from patients. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess risk after identification an unexpected, severe, lethal hospital-acquired caused by...
Objective: To assess the influence of adjuncts, cerebrospinal fluid drainage (CSFD) and evoked potentials, on morbidity mortality after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair to update our experience. Methods: Between February 1981 2003, 402 consecutive patients underwent their TAAA using simple cross-clamping between 1994 (n=123; CC), left heart bypass (from 1987; n=254) or extracorporeal circulation (n=25; ADJ). Somatosensory potentials were used in 264 motor 176 patients. CSFD was...
Objective: Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is the first treatment of choice with good short-term results. Only limited data are available concerning long-term outcome after PEA. The purpose this study to evaluate survival and functional PEA nearly 10 years experience. Method: In period December 1998 2007 120 patients CTEPH were referred St Antonius Hospital (Nieuwegein, Netherlands) whom 72 underwent clinical collected retrospectively....
Abstract We describe a case of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in 38‐year‐old woman presenting with anterior myocardial infarction who was initially treated thrombolysis. During the administration thrombolytics clinical symptoms and electrocardiogram (ECG) deteriorated. Coronary angiography revealed major proximal left descending artery. A hypothesized to have extended by thrombolytic‐induced bleeding into dissected vessel wall. Therefore, we advocate that, especially young female...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Prospectively collected data on postoperative delirium (POD) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are scarce. The aim of this study was to report the incidence and risk factors TAVI under general anesthesia assess association POD with clinical outcome short‐ long‐term survival. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS A total 703 subsequent patients undergoing between 2008 2017. MEASUREMENTS Delirium assessed...
