Abstract OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate early- and mid-term outcome aortic remodelling in patients undergoing implantation 2 different frozen elephant trunk prostheses, either the Thoraflex™ hybrid (Vascutek, Inchinnan, UK) E-vita Open (Jotec Inc., Hechingen, Germany) for acute dissection. METHODS All consecutive [n = 88; median age 59 (49–67) years; 69% male] surgery with a prosthesis dissection from August 2005 until March 2018 were included study. device implanted 55...
Objectives: Risk stratification in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains challenging despite existing models. The Endothelial Activation and Stress Index (EASIX), originally developed for hematological conditions, has shown promise various medical fields as a predictor of adverse outcomes. EASIX, calculated from lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, platelet count, reflects endothelial dysfunction systemic inflammation. This study investigates EASIX’s potential predicting mortality...
The goal of this project was to assess the efficacy a reoperative frozen elephant trunk (FET) operation for treating residual type A aortic dissections.
The aim of this study was to compare aortic diameters from admission computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans postoperative in patients with traumatic injury (TAI) and evaluate the influence substantial blood loss on diameter.The databases two tertiary university centers were retrospectively screened for TAI between February 2002 2019. Concomitant organ injuries, bone fractures, loss, clinical outcomes evaluated. Aortic measured CTA upon compared before discharge at three different levels...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact concomitant ascending aortic replacement on operative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing valve (AVR).We retrospectively analysed our institutional database for all elective isolated AVR with aorta between January 2009 May 2020. Patients surgery infective endocarditis or requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest were excluded. A 3:1 propensity matching performed 688 compare (120 patients) + (40 patients).There significant differences...
The aim of the study was to investigate potential prognostic role preoperative measurement erector spinae myosteatosis with Hounsfield unit average calculation as a marker for sarcopenia and frailty in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery.
Introduction: Hypertrophies of the cardiac septum are caused either by aortic valve stenosis (AVS) or congenital hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). As they induce remodeling, these pathologies may promote an arrhythmogenic substrate with associated malignant ventricular arrhythmias and lead to heart failure. While altered calcium (Ca2+) handling seems be a key player in pathogenesis, role mitochondrial was not investigated patients date. Methods: To investigate this issue,...
A lower hemisternotomy is an infrequently used approach in cardiac surgery. This single center report evaluates applicability and clinical outcomes of procedures performed through a hemisternotomy.The institutional database was reviewed. From 2014 to 2019, 55 consecutive patients had undergone minimally invasive (median follow-up 34 months). Demographic as well outcome data were retrieved from our prospectively maintained database.Performed included mitral tricuspid repairs, aortic valve...
Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the potential role of preoperative measurement thoracic muscle density as a marker for sarcopenia and frailty in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery.
