Background Robotic telemanipulation systems have emerged as facilitating tools that enhance minimally invasive cardiac surgery.The purpose of this study was to evaluate graft patency by a combination and non-invasive coronary angiography methods in robotic-assisted artery surgery(CABG) for optimal quality control. Methods Between April 2004 February 2012, patients who had CABG were called catheterization or multislice computed tomographic patency. Results One hundred out total 250 cases...

<strong>Background:</strong> Acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs due to obstruction of large veins by thrombus and its clinical findings are pain swelling. If not treated, it can cause morbidity mortality. Oral warfarin or low molecular weight heparin applied in traditional treatment. However, recently, endovascular procedures have gained increasing popularity thrombosis. In this study we aimed compare our early results pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT)...

Minimally invasive bypass grafting surgery has entered the clincal routine in several centers around world, with an increasing popularity last decade. In our study, we aimed to make a comparison between minimally coronary artery and conventional isolated proximal left anterior descending (LAD) lesions.Between January 2004 December 2011, patients LAD lesions, who were treated robotically assisted surgery, included study. Group 1, cardiopulmonary complete sternotomy applied 35 2, was patients....

Minimally invasive bypass grafting is a promising surgical treatment in proximal LAD stenosis procedures. The main goal of this study was to make comparisons between robotically assisted minimally coronary surgery and conventional isolated lesions terms pain quality life improvement.The contains patients with who were treated artery June 2005 November 2012. Fifty cardiopulmonary complete sternotomy categorized as Group 1. applied for 2. evaluations done according the Verbal Rating Scale...

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this study to determine the accuracy urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels cardiac surgery establish severity renal impairment as compared serum creatinine levels.A total number 28 patients undergoing elective were included. Diagnostic criteria AKI was established in case a percentage increase concentration >50%. Serum recorded preoperative period before induction and...

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment improve functional status and prolong survival of patients in advanced chronic heart failure. This study assessed the surgical outcomes left anterior mini-thoracotomy for implantation ventricular epicardial pacing leads cardiac therapy.Our consisted 30 consecutive who underwent with a thoracotomy between November 2010 April 2012 our clinic. Postoperative follow up included assessment New York Heart Association...

ÖZ GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Posterior perikardiyal pencere tekniğinin, koroner arter bypass greftleme (CABG) ameliyatı sonrası efüzyon gelişimini önlemedeki etkinliğini belirlemekti.YÖNTEM GEREÇLER: Koroner cerrahi geçirecek hastalar rastgele bir kontrole veya tekniği grubuna ayrıldı.Toplamda 210 hastayı 2 gruba ayırdık, posterior grubu (n = 110) kontrol 110).Preoperatif, intraoperatif postoperatif klinik veriler retrospektif olarak toplandı.Preoperatif, taburcu olmadan önce 7. 30.günlerde yapılan...

<strong>Background:</strong> The incidence of multilevel vascular occlusive disease is increased with patient age. Multilevel arterial cases are some the hardest in surgical realm because comorbidities. In these high-risk patients inflow constrictions may limit success distal bypasses. At same time outflow necessitate long bypass circuits that have less long-term patency rates. <br /><strong>Methods:</strong> Our study included 38 to whom hybrid approaches were...

Sporadic ca rdiac myxomas rarely recur, however recurrence rates are higher in patients with a familial aggregation or Carney complex. complex is characterised by multiple mucocutaneous lesions and accounts for up to two-thirds of cardiac myxomas. A second very rare, even the case We report on two cases recurrent myxoma, mother daughter, who concurrently presented atrial The time interval between first following surgery was four years both. possibility repeat demonstrates importance regular...

Background: The study is presenting our long-term clinical results after freestyle stentless aortic root bioprosthesis replacement in patients with severe insufficiency ascending aneurysm. Methods: Seventy-seven aneurysms and valve underwent a total procedure using “Freestyle” (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota). There were 50 (64.9%) men 27 (35.1%) women. Mean age was 68.7 ± 11.1 years. surgical used complete replacement. Concomitant procedures included coronary artery bypass grafting...

Introduction: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a potentially lethal complication of unfractionated or low-molecular weight heparin therapy.We aimed to determine the incidence and mortality rate patients with positive heparin/platelet factor 4 (PF4) antibodies, which rapid detection test HIT.Methods: Coronary artery bypass grafting mitral aortic valve surgeries were evaluated.Cardiopulmonary was employed in all patients.The diagnosis HIT based on immunological assays.Postoperative...

Aortoenteric fistula is an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which life-threatening if not treated. This complication may occur even months to years after surgery [Mitchel 1995]. It commonly observed in patients who have undergone previous aortic and rarely occurs with a history tract [Brock 1953]. The diagnosis aortoenteric depends on high level clinical suspicion. Herein, we report case 53-year-old man underwent surgical treatment because new-onset severe bleeding that was...

SUMMARY BACKGROUND: Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty and valve replacement have been the treatment options for stenosis several years, however, studies that compare these two modalities are very rare in literature. ObjectIve: In this article, we aim to investigate comparison of clinical results percutaneous replacement. Methods: 527 patients with rheumatic stenosis, treated or (276 251 replacement) from 1991 2012 were evaluated. The demographic characteristics, clinical,...

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of monopolar or bipolar radiofrequency ablation concomitant mitral valve surgery in patients with atrial fibrillation.We retrospectively evaluated a total 167 (67 males, 100 females; mean age 56.8±6.9 years; range, 48 65 years) fibrillation who underwent between September 2001 and January 2015. The were divided into two groups according procedure applied as those undergoing (group 1, n=68) 2, n=99). All followed by electrocardiogram...

<p><b>Introduction:</b> Interrupted aortic arch is a rare congenital malformation characterized by complete loss of luminal continuity between the ascending and descending aorta. It often diagnosed during neonatal period.</p><p><b>Case presentation:</b> We presented 51-year-old male patient with interrupted type B who was treated successfully posterolateral thoracotomy without using cardiopulmonary...
