In patients with drug-resistant hypertension, chronic electric stimulation of the carotid baroreflex is an investigational therapy for blood pressure reduction. We hypothesized that changes in cardiac autonomic regulation can be demonstrated response to baroreceptor stimulation, and we analyzed correlation changes. Twenty-one hypertension were prospectively included a substudy Device Based Therapy Hypertension Trial. Heart rate variability heart turbulence using 24-hour ECG. Recordings...
PurposeTo test the hypothesis that simultaneous closure of at least 2 independent vascular territories supplying spinal cord and/or prolonged hypotension may be associated with symptomatic ischemia (SCI) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). MethodsA pattern matching algorithm was used to develop a risk model for SCI using prospective 63-patient single-center cohort positive predictive value (PPV) intraoperative 4 (left subclavian, intercostal, lumbar, and hypogastric arteries)....
The goal of the retrospective study was to relate site primary entry tear in acute type B aortic dissections presence or development complications.A consecutive series 52 patients referred with dissection analysed regard location (convexity concavity distal arch) using referral CT scans at time diagnosis. These findings were related clinical outcome as well need for intervention.Twenty-five (48%) had located convexity arch, whereas 27 (52%) arch. Twenty per cent presented developed...
The treatment of massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a matter debate. We present our institutional experience patients suffering from PE with the aim comparing early results, outcome and quality life (QoL) between primarily assigned to either surgical embolectomy (SE) or thrombolytic therapy (TL). A subgroup (TS) failed responses TL requiring SE was separately analysed. All consecutive (January 2001–December 2007) computed tomography (CT)-scan-confirmed bilateral central paracentral were...
To review the incidence, clinical presentation, definite management and 1-year outcome in patients with aorto-oesophageal fistulation (AOF) following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).International multicentre registry (European Registry of Endovascular Aortic Repair Complications) between 2001 2011 a total caseload 2387 TEVAR procedures (17 centres).Thirty-six median age 69 years (IQR 56-75), 25% females 9 (19%) previous surgery were identified. The incidence AOF entire cohort...
Background Treatment of individuals with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is still handled controversially. Recommendations for treatment endarterectomy (CEA) are based on trials having recruited patients more than 15 years ago. Registry data indicate that advances in best medical (BMT) may lead to a markedly decreasing risk stroke stenosis. The aim the SPACE-2 trial (ISRCTN78592017) was compare preventive effects BMT alone combination CEA or stenting (CAS), respectively, ≥70% European...
Abstract Background: Low systemic vascular resistance during and immediately after cardiac surgery in which cardiopulmonary bypass is utilized a well-known phenomenon, characterized as vasoplegia, appears with an incidence ranging between 5% 15%. The etiology not completely elucidated the clinical importance remains speculative. Methods: In this prospective trial, we assessed of postoperative low 800 consecutive patients undergoing elective coronary artery grafting and/or valve replacement....
Endovascular therapy is a rapidly evolving field for the treatment of patients with peripheral arterial disease, and magnitude studies reporting on various modern revascularization concepts have been recently published. Thus, assessing efficacy endovascular arteries do not operate uniformly defined endpoints, rendering direct comparison difficult. The purpose this consensus statement to highlight differences in terminology used current literature propose some standardized criteria that must...
To learn upon incidence, underlying mechanisms and effectiveness of treatment strategies in patients with central airway pulmonary parenchymal aorto-bronchial fistulation after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Analysis an international multicentre registry (European Registry Endovascular Aortic Repair Complications) between 2001 2012 a total caseload 4680 TEVAR procedures (14 centres). Twenty-six median age 70 years (interquartile range: 60–77) (35% female) were identified. The...
