Unfractionated heparin is the mainstay of anticoagulation during cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) due to its low cost, quick onset, and ease reversal. Since over 30 years, activated clotting time (ACT) has been used assess level activity both before after CPB. We compared two different methods measuring ACT: i-STAT, which uses amperometric detection thrombin cleavage, Hemochron Jr, based detecting viscoelastic changes in blood. included 402 patients from three institutions...
Abstract Background In Switzerland, long-term circulatory support programs have been limited to heart transplant centers. 2014, improve the management of patients with end-stage failure not eligible for transplantation, we implemented a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) program destination therapy at University Hospital Basel. Methods We described set-up practical aspects. Patients aged 65 and above refractory without major contraindication LVAD implantation were included. Younger...
Post-operative right coronary artery occlusion is a serious complication that demands acute revascularization to prevent myocardial infarction. We present two cases with obstruction caused by (1) transfemoral aortic valve implantation and (2) type A dissection. Although bypass grafting was performed intraoperatively, heart failure observed in both cases. The Impella RP® device offers temporary ventricular mechanical support; wherefore, we decided deploy it patients. devices were uneventfully...
An incomplete traumatic rupture of the ascending aorta is a rare but life-threatening condition. Hence, assessment extent injury prior to therapy crucial. We report case 50-year-old male with aortic who underwent emergency surgery after evaluation computed tomography scan (CT-scan). The surgical treatment involved replacement and stent implantation in descending due its covered rupture.
We present a case of false deployment self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) prosthesis due to inadvertent and incorrect release an eyelet in the crown resulting tilted valve.Hence had be deployed anatomically functionally inappropriate position above coronary ostia at level sinotubular junction.Because previous artery bypass grafting with patent grafts, conventional re-do surgery as bailout was rejected second, balloon-expandable TAVI prostheses favoured instead.This...
