To determine whether a stratified gray-scale median (GSM) analysis of the carotid plaque combined with color mapping could predict histology better than an overall GSM measurement.Thirty-one plaques derived from 28 patients undergoing endarterectomy were investigated by ultrasound. GSMs whole used as measurement echogenicity. A profile regional function distance surface be generated. Plaque pixels further mapped into 3 different colors depending on their value.Plaques large calcifications...
Backgound: Aortic arch surgery is still associated with increased mortality and morbidity especially in acute type A aortic dissection. Adequate brain protection essential commonly performed by either antegrade selective perfusion of the brachiocephalic arteries or an interval profound hypothermic circulatory arrest. We present our experience for open repair continuous means direct cannulation right axillary artery, under moderate hypothermia patients Methods: In, 25 consecutive (17 men) a...
Bioprosthetic valve deterioration remains a major limitation following aortic replacement. Favorable results have been reported with an autologous pericardium neocuspidization.Seventy patients (31 women and 39 men) (mean age, 62 ± 12 years) stenosis (n = 52 [74%]) or regurgitation 18 [26%]) underwent the neocuspidization procedure. Thirty-four (49%) had tricuspid valve, 35 (50%) bicuspid 1 (1%) monocuspid valve. European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation Society of Thoracic...
Summary Using multiplane transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE), we investigated the haemodynamic response to acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) in anaesthetised patients with critical aortic stenosis. Twenty‐eight were randomly assigned ANH or control groups. In group, data remained unchanged over a 20‐min period. haemoglobin levels decreased from mean (SD) of 134 (7) 91 (9) g.l −1 (p < 0.001) whereas stroke volume, central venous pressure and left ventricular (LV) end‐diastolic...
Objective: Approximately one out of five patients with Graves' disease (GD) undergoes a thyroidectomy after mean period 18 months medical treatment. This retrospective and non-randomized study from teaching hospital compares short- long-term results total (TT) subtotal thyroidectomies (ST) for this disease. Methods: From 1987 to 1997, 94 were operated GD. Thirty-three underwent TT (mostly since 1993) 61 ST (keeping 4 8 grams thyroid tissue - 6 g). All had received propylthiouracil and/or...
Driveline infection is one of the most frequent complications following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) treatment and there no consensus for its management. The standard approach to treat foreign-body complete ablation, which not always feasible therefore an elected method LVAD driveline infections. Here we share results from a series cases successfully treated by negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) therapy. Between 2016 2020, five male patients were hospitalized in our unit with...
We report a patient with Marfan's Syndrome and pectus excavatum who underwent open heart surgery simultaneous correction of the sternal malformation. Permanent internal stabilization, achieved by bilateral overlapping bevelled ends lowest ribs reinforced closure wires offered maintained postoperative ehest wall stability, avoided potential complications cardiac compression, improved aesthetic appearance anterior chest wall. The increased risk bleeding due to extensive dissection was...
Blunt trauma causing injury to the vessels of aortic arch is uncommon but may be attended by serious consequences. Most surgeons will experience only an occasional case and need rely on published literature for guidance. A Medline search over 1986–1995 was carried out using following keywords: brachiocephalic trunk, common carotid artery subclavian artery; used as a subheading. Conclusion After isthmus, innominate most commonly injured in chest. Whatever site arterial lesion, however,...
