Background Combined heart and kidney transplantation ( HKT x) is performed in patients with severe failure advanced renal insufficiency. We analyzed the long‐term survival after x, influence of age dialysis status, rates cardiac rejection, sensitization. Methods Results From June 1992 to December 2016, we 100 x procedures. compared older (≥60 years, n=53) younger (<60 n=47) recipients, recipients on preoperative (n=49) not (n=51). actuarial freedom from any acute cellular...
Hypertension (HTN) is one of the causes cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Africa, and may be associated with lower socio-economic status (SES). The prevalence HTN not well established Gambia or Sierra Leone.A cross-sectional, population-based study adults was conducted 2000 Leone from 2001 to 2003 2009. as part annual visit countries western Africa sponsored by a medical delegation California. People were examined blood pressures measured.A total 2 615 examined: 1 400 females 215 males. mean...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a modality of life support for patients suffering from respiratory and/or cardiac failure. With the advances in and pump technology last two decades, ECMO has become safer more durable clinical use. Along with its overall use, there been an increase who require long-term support; either awaiting lung recovery or transplantation. Many them are awake, participating physical rehabilitation, even ambulating while supported on ECMO. While broader...
Robotic inguinal hernia repair is the latest iteration of minimally invasive herniorrhaphy. Previous studies have shown expedited learning curves compared to traditional laparoscopy, which may be offset by higher cost and longer operative time. We sought compare time direct across evolving surgical practice 10 surgeons in our healthcare system.This a retrospective review all transabdominal preperitoneal robotic repairs performed general from July 2015 September 2018. Patients requiring...
Polymorphisms for VKORC1 and CYP2C9 are associated with increased warfarin sensitivity. The prevalence of these polymorphisms in patients mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is unknown. were determined 65 undergoing MCS surgery. Postoperative dose, international normalized ratio (INR), bleeding events measured until discharge, 6 months, or composite end point (in-hospital recovery, heart transplant, death). A total 67.7% (44/65) had at least one polymorphism: (44.6%), CYP2C9*2 (7.7%),...
Renal pseudoaneurysms are a well-documented complication following trauma or after percutaneous biopsy. When symptomatic, patients present with hematuria and deteriorating renal function. We the case of 62-year-old man who, due to development pseudoaneurysm, presented gross 10 days partial nephrectomy for cell carcinoma in single kidney. A segmental artery was embolized stainless steel coils without significant loss limited vascularization.
Recently there has been increased use of mechanical circulatory support in pediatric patients as a bridge to cardiopulmonary recovery or transplantation. However, are few devices that optimized and approved for patients. We designed prototyped novel integrated pump lung (PPL) underwent 30 day in-vivo testing seven juvenile Dorset Hybrid sheep. Devices were implanted right atrial pulmonary artery configuration. Six sheep survived with device functioning 25-35 days. The flow rate was...
Abstract Circulation of perfluorocarbon (PFC) through corporeal cavities has received interest by virtue its potential to supplement oxygenation via mechanical ventilation. However, the technology is not mature enough for clinical application, due knowledge gaps regarding limiting factors hampering oxygen transport from PFC blood. In this paper, we investigate a novel hypothesis that hypothermic peritoneal perfusion cold oxygenated may improve blood facilitating diffusion Our originates...
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Patients suffering from respiratory failure have few options to support oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal aside mechanical ventilation. Our objective was test a novel extrapulmonary mechanism of gas exchange via peritoneal oxygenated perfluorocarbon (PFC) in large animal model. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using two 50 kg swine, hypoxia modeled with subatmospheric oxygen hypercarbia induced acute hypoventilation. Through midline laparotomy, cannulas were placed into the...
