There is increasing evidence that cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) may be responsible for the morbidity associated with coronary artery grafting (CABG) surgery. Recent developments in cardiac stabilization devices have made CABG without CPB feasible. However, there conflicting to date from published trials comparing outcomes between performed and CPB, some indicating an advantage avoidance of others showing little benefit.In a single-center randomized trial, 300 patients requiring surgery at...
Hospital case notes and chest radiographs of 100 patients with Marfan syndrome were investigated for evidence pulmonary disease. The criteria inclusion details a given patient in the study occurrence abnormalities at least two separate body systems (skeletal, cardiovascular, ocular) or one system where there was family history classically affected first degree relative. Selection cases biased towards those cardiorespiratory problems by virtue hospitals from which drawn. Forty eight underwent...
Upper gastrointestinal injury from iron tablets at therapeutic dose is not widely recognized. The aim was to document cases of iron-related upper (GI) pathology and determine frequency occurrence.We prospectively studied patients with deficiency anaemia undergoing GI endoscopy November 2005 July 2006. Cases deposition these other extracted retrospectively between 1999 2006 were examined histopathologically patient notes reviewed. In the prospective study, 15/160 investigated for [16.1%...
A 70-year-old female presented with refractory congestive heart failure, severe pulmonary hypertension, chronic kidney disease, functional mitral regurgitation (MR) and aortic paravalvular leak (PVL) two years following valve replacement (AVR). The patient underwent multiple transcatheter interventions in an attempt to avoid high-risk open surgery. Four months later, the represented right ventricle overload hemolytic anemia. thoracotomy surgery for removal of TEER devices surgical (MVR) was...
The influence of light versus heavy sedation after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery on the development postoperative myocardial ischemia has not been described.After uncomplicated CABG surgery, 50 patients were randomly assigned to receive LOW (n = 24; target Ramsay Sedation Score [RSS] 2) or HIGH 26; RSS 4) with propofol. Analgesia was provided maintain a visual analog scale (VAS) pain score <7. Myocardial identified perioperatively using continuous 3-lead Holter monitoring. By...

In 41 of 220 consecutive patients who had a coronary artery bypass operation between July 1973 and March 1974 the was for acute insufficiency (recurrent chest pain with transient electrocardiographic changes persisting after admission to hospital). Their mean age 54 (range 33-70 years). Eleven angina before, 14 at least one myocardial infarction, 16 presented de novo. Eight latter required only single graft, usually left anterior descending artery, significantly greater number than two other...
A 58-year-old woman with vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS; type IV) presented to a Canadian tertiary care emergency department non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. The patient failed medical therapy and after careful consideration of the options, elected undergo urgent coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery. To best our knowledge, this is first reported case successful on-pump CABG surgery in EDS.
polyneuropathy occurs already early in treatment after application of only 1 to 6 doses a substantial number patients.Toxicity the complete protocol including adjuvant chemotherapy will be analysed and presented elsewhere.
