Background—Systemic inflammatory response and capillary leak syndrome, caused by extracorporeal circulation, have negative effects on the function of vital organs during postoperative period. Modified ultrafiltration (MUF) has been developed as an alternative method to reduce detrimental cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim this prospective, randomized study is analyze MUF in a pediatric population undergoing congenital cardiac surgery. Methods—Twenty‐seven patients who underwent open‐heart...
Abstract Background: Cerebral injury is a well-known complication after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), especially in adult patients. Specific biochemical markers like neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and S-100β protein were developed previously for early detecting neuronal damage CPB. Corticosteroids are shown to reduce multisystemic deleterious effects of due their anti-inflammatory characteristics. The aim this study demonstrate the decrease serum levels patients who...
In patients with functional single ventricular physiology, the avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass offers many advantages including earlier extubation, decreased necessity inotropic support, improved hemodynamical status and reduced likelihood post-operative prolonged pleural effusion. We believe that bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis operations may be performed transient external shunt techniques. The purpose this prospective study is peri- comparison different methods used in...
Visceral artery aneurysms are rare vascular malformations and the literature lacks satisfactory general information about pathology. The aim of this study was to review our experiences in diagnosis treatment visceral aneurysms.We retrospectively reviewed data on 10 patients who were diagnosed with at institution between June 2002 September 2005. All available clinical, pathologic, postoperative analyzed for outcome.Four splenic aneurysms, 2 hepatic 5 renal 1 superior mesenteric aneurysm,...
Effects of diabetes mellitus on myocardium were investigated, by assessing levels heat shock protein (HSP) 70, and efficacy glutamine was tested.Thirty male rats divided into three groups: control group (Group 1), diabetic 2) glutamine-induced 3). Diabetes created intravenous streptozocin injection. Rats examined one month later for cardiac complications diabetes. Serum tissue samples obtained to measure HSP 70 levels.Following administration, glucose increased markedly. This resulted in a...
Venous ulcers are seen following postthrombophlebitic syndrome with venous insufficiency and can begin as a result of minor trauma. In this retrospective study the authors examined value external intermittent pneumatic compression therapy in chronic ulcers. Results 1,250 patients syndromes, 235 these leg ulcers, revealed that modality shortens duration, lowers total cost, hastens return to active life comparison classical stockings antiaggregant or low-dose oral anticoagulant therapy. light...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) alters arterial wall compliance and causes aortic stiffness, which is a predictor of vascular mortality. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are involved in the protection cells under stress. We evaluated stiffness DM effects glutamine (which induces HSP 70) on 70 levels experimental DM.Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 30) were divided into three groups: Control (Group 1), 2) glutamine-treated 3). was induced using streptozocin injection. Group 3 received two doses during fourth...
The approach to acute and chronic type B aortic dissection has changed significantly over the past years. In this aspect, we have reviewed our single-center experience in surgery for dissections compared current data presented by other centers.Twenty-nine patients operated at center (14 acute, 15 chronic) were years between 1996 2004. All patient addition immediate late outcome following noted.The mean age groups was 53 +/- 16 versus 62 12 years, respectively (p = 0.1). Hospital mortality 4...
Infrainguinal revascularization is an effective method of treatment for femoropopliteal/tibial occlusive diseases. However, these bypass grafts are prone to stenosis. In this retrospective study, the authors investigate association gender with patency infrainguinal grafts. The outcomes consecutive 375 male and 200 female patients who underwent surgery arterial disease compared, associations characteristics patients, surgical procedure, graft stenosis determined. It found that several...
Behcet's disease is an autoimmune multisystemic disorder on vasculitis base. Cardiovascular involvement the most important predictor of morbidity and mortality. The treatment should be planned carefully for pathologies requiring interventions. In our report, we present a 45-year-old patient with spontaneous superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, strategy, circumstances faced.
Atrial myxomas are the most commonly encountered tumours of heart and can present at different ages with clinical symptoms. They one curable heart. Appropriate surgical treatment surgery must be performed great precautions in order to prevent fatal systemic embolizations. In this retrospective study we will our experience 14 years, between 1990 2004, 27 patients who had been operated for cardiac myxomas. Diagnosis were made by echocardiography all cases. Surgical approach tumour was biatrial...
Abstract Patent ductus arteriosus is one of the most common congenital cardiac pathologies, besides patency may be somewhat vital for various defects, otherwise death inevitable. Anatomically, single and located between descending aorta pulmonary artery. The review literature reveals presence more than arteriosi in sporadic cases, commonly associated with aortic arch anomalies. In this report, we present a nine-month-old baby diagnosis ventricular septal defect (VSD), atresia (PA),...
We present the case of a 12-year-old girl with familial hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease. She underwent triple-vessel bypass grafting bilateral pedicled internal mammary without adverse events. Pediatric patients may premature atherosclerosis requiring grafting. In situ grafts should be graft choice.
Infective endocarditis is uncommon condition, with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. It less common in children, albeit tending to be associated congenital cardiac malformations. We describe our experience the need for surgical treatment children infective endocarditis.We analyzed retrospectively records 9 aged below 16 years seen between May 2003 March 2005 endocarditis, reviewing demographic details, clinical presentation, microbiological echocardiographic data, operative findings,...
