Abstract Background In Poland, the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remain unknown. This study aimed to answer these unknowns by analyzing data collected from high-volume ECMO centers willing participate in this project. Methods retrospective, multicenter cohort was completed between March 1, 2020, May 31, 2021 (15 months). Data all treated for were analyzed. Pre-ECMO laboratory treatment compared...
In SARS-CoV-2 patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), Veno-Venous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (V-V ECMO) was shown to provide valuable treatment reasonable survival in large multi-centre investigations. However, some patients, conversion modified ECMO support forms may be needed. this single-centre retrospective registry, all consecutive receiving V-V between 1 March 2020 May 2021 were included and analysed. The patient cohort divided into two groups: those...

Minimally invasive aortic valve (AV) surgery has become widely accepted alternative to standard sternotomy. Despite possible reduction in morbidity, this approach is not routinely performed for surgery. Current report aimed demonstrate early and mid-term outcomes patients undergoing minimally root- ascending aorta-replacement with or without concomitant AV replacement (AVR).Between 2011 2018, 167 selected low- intermediate risk (mean age: 64.1±11.3; 70% men; EuroSCORE II 2.58±3.26) underwent...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) requires constant management of coagulation. Whereas unfractionated heparin remains the anticoagulant choice, experienced centers report high bleeding rates. Biocompatibility extracorporeal circuit enables anticoagulation with subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparins only. The aim this study was to evaluate safety and feasibility nadroparin compared during respiratory ECMO in patients. We assessed for thrombotic complications number...
Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) has become a widely accepted alternative to the standard sternotomy approach for treatment of (MV) disease. Because extent and location mini-thoracotomies employed MIMVS vary from center center, conclusions regarding superior cosmesis are not generalizable. The totally thoracoscopic periareolar (TTP) - technique been used at our department minimally cardiac since 2015.To report early surgical data as well mid-term outcomes in patients...
Cardiac surgeons have to face the problem of impaired left ventricle function in patients undergoing routine valve or coronary procedures. The intra-aortic balloon pump is not always effective preventing cardiac failure. idea using a microaxial rotating as short-term perioperative support seems be convenient solution. case patient with dilated cardiomyopathy combined mitral and surgery elective use Impella LD presented. Various options applying device are discussed, especially bridge...
Background: Aortic valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSARR) David procedure has not been routinely performed via minimally invasive access due to its complexity. Methods: We compared our results for mini-VSARR sternotomy-VSARR from another excellence center. Results: Eighty-four patients, 62 in the group and 22 group, were included. A baseline, aneurysm dimensions higher group. Propensity matching resulted 17 pairs with comparable characteristics. cross-clamp cardiopulmonary bypass...

Abstract Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a recognized method of support in patients with severe and refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. While veno‐venous (VV) ECMO the most common type, some hypoxemia may require modifications to circuit. In this study, we aimed investigate effects adding second drainage cannula circuit hypoxemia, on their gas exchange, mechanical ventilation, settings, clinical outcomes. Methods We...

The main goal of minimally invasive surgery is to reduce the perioperative trauma, accelerate patient mobilization and length hospital stay. Due development modern technology, these treatments can be offered a wider group patients. For many years, aortic root consisted mechanical conduit implantation and, therefore, necessitated life-long anticoagulation. At present, in patients with aneurysm significant valve regurgitation, it possible perform minimal-access sparing surgical procedures....
