Objectives: The aims of this report were to study the early and late outcome in terms mortality, freedom from reoperation, predictors for pulmonary stenosis (PAS) insufficiency neo-aortic valve (AVI) patients with transposition great arteries (TGA) undergoing arterial switch operation (ASO). Materials methods: Between January 1990 December 2001, 134 TGA underwent ASO. divided Group I (n=88)-TGA intact ventricular septum II (n=46)-TGA septal defect (VSD). artery was reconstructed employing...
Abstract Background Since the first outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by H1N1 virus in Mexico, several reports have described need intensive care or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) assistance young and often healthy patients. Here we describe our experience H1N1-induced ARDS using both ventilation strategy ECMO assistance. Methods Following Italian Ministry Health instructions, an Emergency Service was established at Careggi Teaching Hospital (Florence, Italy) for novel...
The left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is rare, the surgical experience limited and its treatment remains still a challenge with an elevated mortality. Herein, it presented retrospective analysis of our acquired post infarct LVP over a10-year period.Between January 2006 through August 2016, total 13 patients underwent operation for ventricle. There were 10 men 3 women mean age was 61 ± 7.6 years. 4 acute LVP. Two had preoperative intraortic balloon pump implantation.Various techniques...
Objective: To evaluate the role of intact pleurae regarding postoperative respiratory functional status in patients undergoing coronary revascularization employing both internal mammary arteries (IMAs), according to pedunculated or skeletonized technique (SKT) with opened pleurae. Materials and methods: Using IMAs, 299 underwent elective revascularization. They were randomized divided into group I (n=82, IMA harvesting SKT without opening pleurae); II (n=186, open III (n=31, incidentally...
To describe the organization of an ECMO-centre from triage by telephone to phase inter-hospital transportation with ECMO patients affected H1N1-induced ARDS, describing techniques and equipment used. From September 2009 January 2010, 18 ARDS were referred our other hospitals. Six had contraindications treatment remained in local hospital. Twelve transported centre included this study. Four on (Group A) eight conventional ventilation B). The groups compared basis adverse events during...
Objectives: The impact of long-term complications after robotic hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR), including persistent angina, repeat revascularization, and myocardial infarction (MI), remains limited. This study aims to determine the risk factors for events HCR their time-varying effects on outcomes. Methods: We identified all consecutive patients who underwent at our institution. Baseline characteristics were explored as possible MI, with stents any time during follow-up. Results: A...
Background: To analyze long-term outcomes in patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Methods: All consecutive 97 TEVAR between September 2014 and 2022 were included the study. The primary outcome was incidence of overall death major adverse cardiovascular cerebrovascular events (MACCE). Results: Mean age 70.4 years, 22 (23.2%) had disease (CBVD). 49 (51.6%) prior cardiac surgery intervention 8 (8.5%) valve replacement. Twenty-eight (28.8%) presented with dissection,...
Introduction: Status asthmaticus is a life-threatening condition characterized by progressive respiratory failure due to asthma that unresponsive standard therapeutic measures. We used extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treat patients with near-fatal status asthamticus who did not respond aggressive medical therapies and mechanical ventilation under controlled permissive hypercapnia. Materials methods: Between January 2011 October 2015, we treated 16 adult (8 women, 8 men, mean age:...
Introduction: Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) occurring as a result of myocardial ischemia and global left ventricular (LV) dysfunction predicts poor outcome. This study assessed the feasibility mitral (MV) surgery concomitant with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients mild-to-moderate moderate ischemic MR impaired LV function. Materials Method: From January 1996 to July 2000, 49 (group 1) 50 2) grade II III ejection fraction (EF) between 17% 30% underwent combined MV CABG or...
