Ascending aortic aneurysm (AAoA) is a silent disease with high mortality; however, the factors associated worse prognosis are not completely understood. The objective of this observational, longitudinal, single-center study was to identify hemodynamic patterns and their influence on AAoA growth using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), focusing effects geometrical variations hemodynamics. Personalized anatomic models were obtained from angiotomography scans 30 patients in two different years...
Objective: To evaluate the presence of sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients who had mitral valve surgery with concomitant surgical ablation AF, by unipolar bipolar radiofrequency. Methods: Adults replacement valvuloplasty either radiofrequency, were consecutively included between 2008 and 2012. Surgery was done conventional median sternotomy. Results: A total 99 included; 20 (20.2%) energy 79 (79.8%) energy. There 76 (76.8%) women, mean age± SD 51 ±11 years. The duration AF...
