Inpatient initiation of sotalol is recommended owing to its proarrhythmic effects.The DASH-AF (Feasibility and Safety Intravenous Sotalol Administered as a Loading Dose Initiate Oral Therapy in Adult Patients With Atrial Fibrillation) trial evaluates the safety feasibility intravenous (IV) sotalol, achieving steady state with maximum QTc prolongation within 6 hours instead traditional 5-dose inpatient oral (PO) titration.DASH-AF prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter, open-label consisting...
ObjectivePatient selection for open lower extremity revascularization in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains a clinical challenge. This study investigates the impact of CKD on early graft failure, postoperative complications, and mortality undergoing bypass critical limb ischemia.MethodsThe National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried all ischemia from 2012 to 2015 who underwent using targeted vascular set. The glomerular filtration rate calculated...
INTRODUCTION: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs have been detailed in the literature predominantly inpatient setting. The purpose of our study was to determine effect an ERAS protocol with a preoperative educational class on opioid prescribing and patient outcomes for outpatient breast surgery. METHODS: An formulated, focusing pre-operative education, multimodal pain control, intraoperative block. conducted as IRB-approved retrospective review. Women undergoing reconstruction...
Medical treatment of inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) remains suboptimal. Radiofrequency node (RF-SN) ablation has poor success and higher complication rates.We aimed to compare clinical outcomes the novel SN sparing hybrid technique with those RF-SN modification for IST management.This is a multicenter prospective registry comparing strategy modification. The procedure was performed using an RF bipolar clamp, isolating superior vena cava/inferior cava creation lateral line across...
IntroductionEnhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols have been implemented to decrease opioid use and patient length of stay (LOS, days). Serratus Anterior Plane (SAP) blocks anesthetize the T2 through T9 dermatomes breast can be applied intra-operatively. The purpose this study is compare postoperative (OME) consumption length-of-stay (LOS) between a control group, an ERAS ERAS/local anesthetic cocktail group in patients undergoing implant-based reconstruction.Methods142 women...
Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a novel treatment option for refractory ventricular tachycardia. We present case of tachycardia, with epicardial origin located in large inferior infarct scar, that recurred despite multiple antiarrhythmic drugs, catheter ablation, and cardiac sympathetic denervation. safely effectively terminated the arrhythmia. (Level Difficulty: Advanced.).
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation remains as one of the more technically challenging endovascular procedures. Portal vein access from hepatic often requires multiple needle passes, which increases procedure times, risk complications, and radiation exposure. With its bi-directional maneuverability, Scorpion X kit may be a promising tool for easier portal access. However, clinical safety feasibility this has yet to determined.In retrospective study, 17 patients (12...
Introduction: Due to pro-arrhythmic effects associated with Sotalol, inpatient initiation QTc monitoring for five doses is recommended. An IV loading dose followed by two oral has been shown achieve steady-state concentrations. Hypothesis: To evaluate the safety of single day sotalol in patients atrial fibrillation and flutter (AF/AFL). Methods: We prospectively evaluated 40 at our institution who received as therapy AF/AFL. was calculated based on target indicated baseline interval renal...
Introduction: Management of patients with long standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) presents a clinical challenge. Hybrid convergent ablation has been shown to have superior efficacy compared endocardial in LSPAF. However, real world outcomes concomitant hybrid and left appendage (LAA) exclusion an clip are sparse. Hypothesis: To evaluate effectiveness LAA clipping AF (LSPAF). Methods: We conducted retrospective analysis all LSPAF that underwent (surgical plus catheter ablation)...
