We sought to understand whether obesity imparts detriment in outcome beyond risk of developing surgical site infection (SSI).Obesity is a factor for SSI following renal transplantation, and has been implicated inferior patient graft survival postoperatively.We conducted retrospective review all adult kidney-only transplants performed at the University Michigan between September 2003 April 2008. The primary exposure variable was recipient body mass index (BMI). Cox multivariable regression...
Background The optimal surgical approach for management of acute type A aortic dissection remains controversial. This study aimed to assess outcomes reoperation after repair help guide decision making around index operative strategy. Methods and Results All reoperations (n=129) at a single referral institution from August 2005 April 2016 prior were reviewed. primary outcome was 30‐day or in‐hospital mortality. Secondary included organ‐specific morbidity 1‐ 5‐year as estimated using the...
The impact of hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) temperature on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) has not been evaluated. This study examined the association between temperatures and AKI in patients undergoing proximal aortic surgery with HCA.A total 759 consecutive who underwent (ascending ± valve root) including arch replacement requiring HCA July 2005 December 2016 were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional database. primary outcome was as defined by Risk,...
Femoral arterial cannulation in adult venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) predisposes patients to ipsilateral limb ischemia. Placement of a distal perfusion catheter (DPC) is one few techniques available prevent or manage this complication. Although frequently used, the indications for and timing DPC placement are poorly characterized, no guidelines guide its use. The purpose study was compare incidences vascular complications ischemia between who did not receive at...
The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal timing surgical resection oesophageal adenocarcinoma following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT).nCRT before yields improved overall and progression-free survival. Despite wide acceptance tri-modal therapy, after nCRT is not well defined existing studies are limited. Adults with Stage II/III undergoing surgery were identified from National Cancer Database. Multivariable analysis using restricted cubic splines used identify an...
Recently, both living and deceased organ donation rates have hit a plateau, despite increases in need for viable organs. One approach to improve rate is public education policy; thus, it necessary understand the information receiving regarding donation. We hypothesized that primetime medical dramas portray transplantation negative manner. compiled data on all drama episodes with transplant themes from November 2008 through June 2010 assessed depictions of donors candidates. Positive thematic...
Transcatheter valve-in-valve (VIV) procedures are an alternative to standard surgical valve replacement in high risk patients.Cases which a commercially approved transcatheter aortic (TAVR) device was used for nonaortic VIV procedure between November 2013 and September 2015 reviewed. Clinical, echocardiographic, procedural details, patient survival, symptom severity by NYHA class at follow-up were assessed.All patients heart-team determined conventional redo surgery (mean STS PROM = 6.8 ±...
Aims The HeartMate 3 (HM3) ventricular assist device (VAD) is gaining popularity in adults due to a favorable risk profile. However, reports of HM3 use children are limited, potentially concerns with size. Materials and Methods Here we report the successful an HM3-VAD as bridge transplantation 21 kg (BSA 0.84), 8-year-old male child Fontan failure on home inotropes. Results Urgent VAD implantation was performed. standard adult sewing ring used. tricuspid valve papillary muscles were...
