May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a rare clinical entity featuring venous obstruction of the left lower extremity. The aim present study was to report our experience with MTS and evaluate utility treatment using endovascular techniques.We retrospectively analyzed data on 23 patients (21 females, two males; mean age 44 ± 15 years). Eighteen presented deep vein thrombosis (DVT) five symptoms associated chronic hypertension (CVH). DVT were treated via thromboaspiration, catheter-directed...

Aortic aneurysm is a serious problem in Behçet's disease, but open surgical therapy carries the risk of recurrent pseudoaneurysm. Here outcomes endovascular repair and adjunctive immunosuppressive for aortic disease are presented.This was retrospective study. Between 2002 2012, nine patients with (8 male, median age 41 years, range 33-60 years) were treated by stent grafting abdominal or thoraco-abdominal pseudoaneurysm.Computed tomography angiography revealed infrarenal pseudoaneurysm six...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with an incidence of 25-40%, after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Resistin a newly identified adipocyte-secreted hormone belonging to cysteine-rich protein family. This study examined relation preoperative and postoperative early serum resistin level, which can play important role as inflammatory marker predict AF CABG.We prospectively analyzed 40 consecutive patients (mean age, 59.2+10.3 years; 31 men nine women) who were...

Significant mitral regurgitation (MR) is thought to decrease after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, and therefore repair of valve not indicated in current practice. However, residual moderate severe MR leads pulmonary artery pressure increase, thereby resulting right (RV) dysfunction during follow-up. We examined the impact on systolic function ventricle by echocardiography LVAD implantation. This study included 90 patients (mean age: 51.7 ± 10.9 years, 14.4% female) who...

This study aimed to compare von Willebrand factor (vWF) levels, ristocetin cofactor platelet counts, aortic valve movements, and right heart failure (RHF) as risk factors of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in patients with continuous flow left ventricular assist device (cf-LVAD). In a single centre, 90 (mean age 52.0 ± 10.5 years), which 59 were male 31 female, had cf-LVAD implantation from October 2010 November 2012. Seventy-six (84.4%) HeartWare (Medtronic, Mounds View, MN) 14 (15.5%)...

One of the philosophies minimally invasive mitral surgery is to enhance recovery after (ERAS). Beyond surgical applications, ERAS applications provide a complementary approach optimize postoperative course and discharge. In this report, we aim present institutional protocol for its results in patients who underwent totally endoscopic valve (TEMVS).

Ischemic and hemorrhagic events are the common causes of morbidity mortality after continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) implantation. CHA2DS2-VASc score predicts thromboembolic (TE) event risk HAS-BLED bleeding in patients on anticoagulant with atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to evaluate whether these scoring systems would be predictive TE complications CF-LVAD From December 2010 2014, 145 who underwent implantation at a single center were included. Mean age was 50.7 ±...

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe form of heart valve disease and associated with poor prognosis high risk mortality. We report the first known case bioprosthetic aortic spondylodiscitis as result posterior nasal packing coated antibiotics but without systemic antibiotic prophylaxis.

Abstract Middle aortic syndrome is a rare variation of coarctation that localized to the distal thoracic and abdominal aorta, can involve visceral renal arteries. Irreversible organ damage end-stage congestive heart failure may be possible harmful complications this disease in untreated patients. We report three-year-old patient with diffuse aorta hypoplasia treated bypass graft. (J Card Surg 2011;26:659-662)

Anemia, transfusion and bleeding independently increase the risk of complications mortality in cardiac surgery. The main goals patient blood management are to treat anemia, prevent bleeding, optimize use products during perioperative period. benefit this program has been confirmed many studies its utilization is strongly recommended by professional organizations. This consensus report prepared authors who task members appointed Turkish Society Cardiovascular Surgery, Cardiology (TSC),...

Pump thrombosis is associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device. Although it has been defined clearly, the diagnosis treatment of this complication still remain controversial. Between 2010 2014, 163 consecutive (mean age: 50.7 ± 13 years, 84% males, median duration support: 277 (2-1077) days) were implanted Prospectively collected data all who had at least one pump event have analyzed, retrospectively. Twenty-one events observed 15...

The combination of a solitary pelvic kidney and an abdominal aortic aneurysm is extremely rare. We demonstrate chimney graft implant in patient with kidney. A 63-year-old man was diagnosed found incidentally. Preoperative computed tomography illustrated fusiform accompanying ectopic the pelvis aberrant renal artery. bifurcated endograft implanted, covered stent placed into artery using technique. Good patency documented early postoperative first month scans. To best our knowledge, this...

The combination of solitary pelvic kidney and abdominal aortic aneurysm is extremely rare. In this report, we present chimney graft implantation in a patient with kidney. A 63-year-old man had the diagnosis infrarenal made incidentally. Preoperative computed tomography illustrated fusiform accompanying ectopic pelvis aberrant renal artery. bifurcated endograft was implanted, covered stent placed into artery by use technique. Good patency documented early postoperative first month scans. To...

In this study, patients admitted with the diagnosis of Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) in a tertiary referral center were analyzed.The data 20 consecutive (mean age: 27.6+1.8 years, 7 male and mean follow-up time: 35.6 ± 9.1 months) ES retrospectively analyzed. Demographic characteristics, symptoms, physical examination, laboratory hemodynamic parameters analyzed at time first admission.The most frequent underlying heart diseases ventricular septal defect (VSD) complex congenital disease (n:8,...

The left heart bypass is currently the most frequent adjunct to provide distal aortic perfusion during clamping. However, closed-circuits cannot respond sudden hemodynamic fluctuations clamping which may lead complications. In this report, we aim give technical aspects of reservoir-added centrifugal pump circuit system, its implementation and clinical outcomes.Between 2002 2020, data 35 patients underwent aneurysm repair with use modified were analyzed. mean age was 53.4 years (range 24-73)...

The snorkel technique is commonly used to preserve renal arteries in juxta aneurysm during endovascular repair. Herein, we present a patient who underwent bifurcated endograft implantation with for inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) order the major source of bowel circulation.A 69-year-old male was diagnosed abdominal aortic aneurysm. His history revealed that he had resection due car accident 30 years ago. In addition, given relaparotomy 4 times intestinal complications. Computed tomography...
