Level III inferior vena cava tumor thrombectomy for renal cancer is one of the most challenging open urologic oncology surgeries. We present initial series completely intracorporeal robotic level thrombectomy.Nine patients underwent and 7 II thrombectomy. The entire operation (high intrahepatic control, caval exclusion, thrombectomy, repair, radical nephrectomy, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy) was performed exclusively robotically. To minimize chances intraoperative thrombus embolization,...
Right anterior minithoracotomy with central arterial cannulation is our preferred technique of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (AVR). We compared perioperative outcomes this to those via sternotomy. Between March 1999 and December 2013, 492 patients underwent isolated AVR either sternotomy (SAVR, n = 198) or right thoracotomy (MIAVR, 294) in institution. Univariate comparisons between groups were made evaluate overall adverse events. To control treatment selection bias,...
Women living in an impoverished environment after birth have increased risk of developing postpartum depression (PP-Dep) and hypertension (PP-HTN). The mechanisms underlying these heightened risks are unknown understudied. To examine the relation between reduced environmental resources, PP-Dep, PP-HTN; rodent dams were exposed to low-resource limited bedding nesting (LBN) chronic stress model during weaning. Postpartum divided into control (CTL) experimental groups, which group experienced...
Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized as de novo hypertension (HTN) with end-organ damage, especially in the brain. PE hypothesized to be caused by placental ischemia. affects ~5-8% of USA pregnancies and increases risk for HTN cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) later life. We hypothesize that blood pressure (BP), cerebral oxidative stress, inflammation will increase postpartum (PP) ischemic dams. Placental ischemia was induced pregnant Sprague Dawley dams, utilizing reduced uterine perfusion...
Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty has been proposed as a nonsurgical technique for treating high-risk patients with stenosis who are deferred from valve replacement. The effect of this on pulmonary hypertension, however, not fully evaluated. Accordingly, serial assessment vascular resistance was made in 14 critical and hypertension (pulmonary greater than 250 dynes.sec/cm5 or mean artery pressure 40 mm Hg both) underwent percutaneous balloon dilatation the valve. Balloon performed either one...
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is used in the treatment of type B dissections. Information related to morphologic findings and condition abdominal aorta after TEVAR limited.To analyze for dissections.After a retrospective database review, data 30 patients who underwent from January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2013, dissection were analyzed. Imaging software was calculate diameters volumes on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Mean follow-up 14.4...
Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by de novo hypertension (HTN) and often associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Hallmarks of PE are placental ischemia, decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, oxidative stress (OS), organ damage in the kidneys brain. This study aims to characterize a new model using pregnant IUGR rats from hypertensive ischemic dams. It hypothesized that dams will have elevated blood pressure (BP), OS, damage. In this study, divided into two groups:...
The hydrogen atom is factorized according to the scheme O(4,2)⊃O(2,1)×O(3) and radial group O(2, 1) studied. It shown that rkDn/(n+q), where Da a dilatation operator, proportional tensor operator in this scheme, allowing theoretical study of matrix elements rk, including an explanation Pasternack Sternheimer selection rule.
Of 120 consecutive balloon aortic valvuloplasty procedures for critical stenosis, was performed in combination with coronary angioplasty nine patients (average age 76 years). All were symptomatic angina and congestive heart failure before combined procedures. Aortic 20 to 23 mm catheter advanced retrogradely from the femoral artery resulted an improvement peak valve gradient (60 +/- 19 33 13 Hg; p less than or equal .01) calculated area (0.7 0.1 1.1 0.3 cm2; .01). Single-vessel via approach,...
Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) are used to bridge select end-stage heart disease patients transplant (HT). IABP use and exception requests both increased dramatically after the UNOS policy change (PC). The purpose of this study was evaluate effect PC status on waitlist post-transplant outcomes in bridged HT with support.We analyzed adult, first-time, single-organ recipients from Registry either at time registration for or HT. We compared post-HT between PRE (October 18, 2016 May 30, 2018)...
