Background Pediatric patients with atrioventricular valve disease have limited options for prosthetic replacement in sizes <15 mm. Based on successful experience the stented bovine jugular vein graft (Melody valve) right ventricular outflow tract, prosthesis has been modified surgical pediatric dysfunction intention of subsequent expansion catheterization laboratory as child grows. Methods and Results A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was performed among who underwent Melody at 17...
Introduction. Intravenous administration of saline and non-ionic isosmolar contrast media significantly reduces the incidence contrast-induced nephropathy, one most common causes acute renal failure. Results with oral N -acetylcysteine are conflicting. The aim our study was to evaluate prophylactic role in patients stable chronic failure undergoing coronary and/or peripheral angiography angioplasty. Methods. We randomized 200 elective, consecutive (mean age 74.9 ± 7.3 years; 65% male, 25%...
The aortic valve (AV) neocuspidization (Ozaki procedure) is a novel surgical technique for AV disease that preserves the natural motion and cardiodynamics of root. In this study, we sought to evaluate, by 4D-flow magnetic resonance imaging, blood flow characteristics after in paediatric patients.Aortic root ascending aorta haemodynamics were evaluated population patients treated with Ozaki procedure; results compared those group operated Ross technique. Cardiovascular studies performed at...
The emerging role of tricuspid regurgitation in the long-term outcome general population, poses need for a review its impact on patients with TOF and timing surgical PVR. This is retrospective, single Centre study. Clinical, imaging data adults repaired transannular patch repair were collected from our database. 149 (61 % male, mean age 26.0 years) selected. At follow-up time 25.5 years (95 CI 24.5,26.4) 92 required isolated PVR at 16.6 15.5,17.7) 17.9 16.8,19.0). In whole cohort,...
Background Pulmonary valve-sparing repair (PVSR) of Tetralogy Fallot (TOF) provides good results in selected patients. However, recurrent right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) can occur requiring surgical revision. We sought to evaluate the course RVOTO after PVSR by serial echocardiographic (ECHO) assessment. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted patients who underwent TOF at our institution. Demographic, anatomical, and 2D-ECHO data were collected. The cohort divided...
Treatment decisions in patients with scimitar syndrome (SS) are often challenging, especially isolated SS who asymptomatic and might be diagnosed accidentally. We queried a large multi-institutional registry of to evaluate the natural history this condition determine efficacy surgical treatment terms survival clinical status. collected data on 485 from 51 institutions; 279 (57%) were treated surgically (STPs) 206 (43%) clinically monitored (CMPs). Median age at last follow-up was 11.6 years...
OBJECTIVES:We investigated whether oxidative stress and the arginine/nitric oxide pathway differ in control subjects adult patients who are candidates for three most common cardiac surgical operations: coronary bypass surgery, aortic valve replacement calcific non-rheumatic stenosis or mitral repair degenerative insufficiency. METHODS:In this prospective observational study, we studied 165 consecutive undergoing surgery from January to June 2011 (coronary n = 63; stenosis, 51; insufficiency,...
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:Pemetrexed (PEM) is an antifolate antineoplastic agent with a broad-spectrum activity in locally advanced or metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).It has been shown that PEM allows longer survival.The risk of acute chronic kidney disease may be one the prices to paid this success.This paper demonstrates nephrologists and oncologists should collaborate study tailored therapies patients cancer.
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...
The aim of this study was to identify the predictors death and reintervention after mitral valve replacement (MVR) in children.A single-centre retrospective performed including 115 patients under age 18 undergoing MVR between 1982 2019. For all patients, ratio prosthetic size (diameter mm) weight (kg) at surgery calculated long-term result assessed. primary outcome freedom from (MV) re-replacement. composite secondary or transplant.Fifty-four had a previous surgical attempt MV repair. median...
We sought to evaluate the long-term survival and risk factors for morbidity mortality in our cohort of patients after extracardiac (EC) Fontan.We collected analysed follow-up data until September 2020 all who underwent EC Fontan operation at institution from November 1988 2015.Out 406 treated with a mean age 5.4 ± 4.5 years, 372 (91.6%) were discharged home; 15% lost follow-up. The median was 14.6 years (interquartile range 8.7-20.3). Two hundred (54%) had good outcome, an event-free...
