Data showing the efficacy and safety of transplantation hearts obtained from donors after circulatory death as compared with brain are limited. Download a PDF Research Summary. We conducted randomized, noninferiority trial in which adult candidates for heart were assigned 3:1 ratio to receive donor or if that was available first (circulatory-death group) only had been preserved use traditional cold storage (brain-death group). The primary end point risk-adjusted survival at 6 months...
The FOXO3a (forkhead box O3a)-BNIP3 (B-cell lymphoma 2/adenovirus E1B 19kDa interacting protein 3) pathway modulates mitochondrial dynamics and function contributes to myocardial remodeling in rodent models of heart failure. We sought investigate the expression this along with biogenesis (PGC-1α [peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α]), (DRP-1 [dynamin-related 1], OPA-1 [optic atrophy MFN 2 [mitofusin 2]), oxidative phosphorylation (citrate synthase electron transport...
Right ventricular failure is an underrecognized consequence of COVID-19 pneumonia. Those with severe disease are treated extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) but poor outcomes. Concomitant right assist device (RVAD) may be beneficial.A retrospective analysis intensive care unit patients admitted ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) was performed. Nonintubated patients, those acute kidney injury, and age > 75 were excluded. Patients who underwent RVAD/ECMO support compared managed...
Lung transplantation and heart-lung represent surgical options for treatment of medically refractory idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. The effect the lung allocation score on wait-list outcomes in patients with hypertension is poorly described.Adults diagnosed listed 80 months before after algorithm was implemented (n=1430) were identified United Network Organ Sharing thoracic registry. Patients stratified by organ pre- post-lung era. cumulative incidences mortality wait-listed...
A right ventricular assist device (RVAD) using a dual-lumen percutaneous cannula inserted through the internal jugular vein (IJV) might improve weaning in patients with refractory (RV) failure. However, reported experience this is limited. We reviewed records of all receiving RVAD support new at our institution between April 2017 and February 2019. recorded data on weaning, mortality, device-specific complications. compared outcomes among three subgroups based indications for...
Positron emission tomography (PET) influences clinical management in the preoperative evaluation of patients with hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer.Prospective cohort study.Academic tertiary care center.From January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2002, 71 consecutive referred potentially resectable based on conventional imaging findings underwent PET or computed subsequent evaluation.Performance resection was results overall evaluation.Concordance findings, identification additional...
<h3>Objective</h3>To describe the perspectives of surgical interns regarding implications new Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) duty-hour regulations their training.<h3>Design</h3>We compared responses and surgery program directors on a survey about proposed ACGME mandates.<h3>Setting</h3>Eleven general residency programs.<h3>Participants</h3>Two hundred fifteen who were administered during summer 2011 previously surveyed national sample 134 directors.<h3>Main...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure. The effect of DM on post-left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation outcomes unclear. This study sought to investigate whether had worse than without after LVAD support resulted better control DM.We retrospectively reviewed 341 consecutive adults who underwent from 2007 2016. Patient characteristics adverse events were studied compared between DM. One hundred thirty-one (38%) Compared...
Pregnancies may result in antibodies against HLA, a risk factor for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) and subsequent cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) after heart transplantation (HTx). The aim of this study was to evaluate sex differences the incidence AMR events CAV among HTx recipients.The comprised 160 patients (51 [32%] women) who underwent 2008 2014. cumulative effect calculated by score (sum myocardial biopsy grading divided number biopsies taken during 3 years post-HTx).Females...
Healthcare delivery is heterogenous; the reasons for this are numerous and complex. Patient-specific factors including geography, income, insurance status, age, gender have been shown to bias surgical outcomes. Utilizing a prospectively collected all-payer database, we aim evaluate influence of socioeconomic on mortality length stay (LOS) after common cardiac procedures.We utilized National Inpatient Sample, Cost Utilization Project, Agency Research Quality year 2019. We included patients...
