Background . Hydatid cyst (HC) disease is endemic in many developing countries, like Yemen, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, especially the rural regions. The has a variable clinical courses even might be asymptomatic for years. Objectives In giant large pulmonary hydatid cysts, resection usual method of surgical treatment. this study, we aimed to evaluate lung conservative surgery treatment cases with as an effective management. Patients Methods Between January 2009 August 2014, total 148 patients...
Splenic abscess is a well-described but rare complication of infective endocarditis. Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential as its course can be fatal. We present three case reports that describe the management splenic abscesses in patients initially diagnosed with In all cases, was based on findings abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). two splenectomy performed before valve surgery; while third case, spleen removed after cardiac surgery. All...
Background: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction after pulmonary resection in the early postoperative period is documented by reduced RV ejection fraction and increased end-diastolic volume index. Supraventricular arrhythmia, particularly atrial fibrillation, common resection. assessment can be done non-invasive methods and/or invasive approaches such as right cardiac catheterization. Incorporation of a rapid response thermistor to artery catheter permits continuous measurements output,...
<p><b>Background:</b> Supraventricular cardiac arrhythmias are the most common rhythm disturbances in patients following thoracic surgery. The purpose of our study was to determine which clinical parameters valuable predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) after lung surgery.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> Retrospective analysis carried out on 987 noncardiac surgery define prevalence, associated risk factors, and course arrhythmias. There were 822...
Background Tobacco smoke contains many carcinogens that may mediate susceptibility to lung cancer. Cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 1A1 activity and expression increases several fold in cancer due smoking. Finding the role of cytochrome tobacco-related be important predict outcome early stage cancer, result an improved survival rate. Patients methods This study was carried on 2 groups patients: group A 20 patients with operable smoking-related who underwent surgery at time diagnosis; B nonsmokers...
Background The timing of surgical repair tetralogy Fallot (TOF) is a key to alleviate complications and for long-term survival. Total correction was usually performed at the age 6 months or older under notion decreasing risk. However, avoiding palliation with an aortopulmonary shunt early systemic hypoxia appear be more benefit than inborn risk in low body weight patients. Our objective assess early/midterm survival operative analyze patients, techniques, morphological factors determine...
Prostheses used for aortic valve replacement may be small in relation to body size, causing prosthesis-patient mismatch and delaying left ventricular mass regression. This study examined the effect of on regression after replacement.We prospectively studied 96 patients undergoing between 2007 2012. Mean peak gradients indexed effective orifice area were measured by transthoracic echocardiography at 3 6 months postoperatively. Patient-prosthesis was defined as ≤0.85 cm(2)·m(-2).Moderate...
Coronary bypass grafting for ischemic heart disease in achondroplastic dwarfs is very rare. Shortage of veins and inadequate vein quality may cause difficulties during surgery. Only 2 cases coronary surgery an dwarf, which the left internal mammary artery grafts were used, have been reported. We describe case a 55-year-old male dwarf who had triple-vessel underwent successful using one saphenous graft bilateral grafts. The anatomic surgical challenges achondroplasia are highlighted.
It has been reported that impaired left ventricular longitudinal function may precede circumferential dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease. This study is to determine the impact of PCI on myocardial assessed by tissue Doppler echocardiography chronic stable angina. Twenty-five consecutive angina and preserved systolic LV (EF%> 50%) underwent were studied pulsed wave at different time intervals before after PCI. All subjected following: Full history physical examination, ECG,...
Minimally invasive approach to Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) is increasingly accepted as a valid alternative full sternotomy approach, reduce operative trauma with the final aim improve post-operative outcomes.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to left-sided heart disease (LHD), classified by the World Health Organization as Group 2 (WHO 2), is secondary left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, LV diastolic or valvular (VHD) [4].The principle insult in this class of PH elevated end pressure (LVEDP and/or atrial pressures), which transmitted pulmonary vasculature, raising artery [5].Mitral valve disease, both insufficiency and stenosis, can lead downstream development PH.Elevated
To evaluate the predictivity of preoperative serum myocardial ischemia biomarkers for postoperative (PO) mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The study included 300 with mean age 62.2 ± 4.2 years. Patients were evaluated risk factors and donated fasting blood samples ELISA estimation levels creatinine (sCr), cardiac troponin T (cTnT) cTnI Creatine Kinase-myoband (CK-MB) Isoenzyme. Intraoperative PO complications determined. 30-day rate total at end...
Coronary bypass grafting for ischemic heart disease in achondroplastic dwarfs is very rare. Shortage of veins and sometimes, inadequate vein quality can cause difficulties during surgery. Only two cases were reported literature that underwent coronary surgery, which the left internal mammary artery grafts used. To best our knowledge using bilateral arteries such patients was not reported. We report here a 55 years old male dwarf who had triple vessels successful surgery arteries. Anatomic...
To determine the frequency of postoperative (PO) hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients underwent Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and to evaluate its predictability for outcome these patients. The study included all assigned CABG had no previous history diabetes mellitus with preoperative fasting blood glucose <110 mg/dl. Hyperglycemia was diagnosed if random (RBG) levels are >180 Patients were categorized according RBG into: Normoglycemics <180 mg/dl Hyperglycemics...
We describe a case of 39 years old male underwent continuous flow LVAD implantation (HeartWare) HVAD as destination therapy (DT) for severe left ventricular dysfunction ,moderate right and pulmonary hypertension , presented 3rd day post-operatively with polymorphic tachycardia (VT storm) alternating VF then aborted to bradycardia complete heart block .Coronary angiography revealed big LM coronary artery thrombus extended distally mid LCX LAD arteries pedunculating into the aortic root...
We describe a case of 39 years old male, underwent continuous flow LVAD implantation (HeartWare) HVAD as destination therapy (DT) for severe left ventricular dysfunction, moderate right dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension, presented 3rd day post-operatively with polymorphic tachycardia (VT storm) alternating VF before aborting to bradycardia complete heart block. Coronary angiography revealed big LM coronary artery thrombus extended distally LCX LAD arteries pedunculating into the aortic...
Background and aim of the work: Platelets play a role in pathogenesis atherosclerotic complications by contributing to thrombus formation or plaque rupture.There is evidence that inflammation plays an important initiation, development as well evolution atherosclerosis, suggesting atherosclerosis inflammatory disease.The this study evaluate effect mean platelet volume (MPV) some markers on patients with slow coronary flow (SCF) its possible relationship clinical presentation.Methodology: This...
