Aortic injury is a life-threatening complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and it occurs in 0.6% to 1.9% cases. An 81-year-old woman with severe stenosis peripheral arterial disease (kissing iliac stents) presented for TAVR. Mild resistance was encountered when introducing the 14-F TAVR catheter through an 18-F sheath, but passed gentle pressure. While advancing up aorta, large, calcified mass seen moving distal tip. Retraction also retracted seemingly attached...
Background: There are limited data supporting or opposing the use of infrapopliteal peripheral vascular interventions (PVI) for treatment claudication. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate association PVI with long-term outcomes compared isolated femoropopliteal Methods: conducted a retrospective analysis all patients in Medicare-matched Vascular Quality Initiative database who underwent an index infrainguinal claudication from January 2004-December 2019 using Cox proportional hazards models....
The purpose of this study was to investigate the morbidity and mortality 100 consecutive patients with pneumonectomy for non-small cell lung cancer at University Kentucky.We retrospectively reviewed medical records patients, 1998-2009.The median age 59 years, a range 27 79 years. Sixty-eight (68%) were men. Fifty-four (54%) received left pneumonectomy. Major postoperative complication rate 39%, atrial fibrillation being most common complication, occurring in 26 patients. overall 11% (11/100...
ABSTRACT Importance Racial disparities in COVID-19 outcomes have been amplified during this pandemic and reports on African-American (AA) populations, known to higher rates of cardiovascular (CV) comorbidities, remain limited. Objective To examine prevalence hospitalization survival, incidence CV manifestations a predominantly AA population south metropolitan Chicago. Design, Setting, Participants This was an observational cohort study patients encountered from March 16 April 16, 2020 at the...
To assess the safety and efficacy of Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) in complex, infrapopliteal lesions for management chronic limb ischemia.The interventional PAD remains challenging due to high restenosis rates with metallic drug-eluting stents balloon angioplasty. Metallic are associated impaired vessel vasomotor tone, remodeling, autoregulation, long-term inflammation. BVSs biodegradable scaffolds that provide short-term support before degrading allow restoration tone...
Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor prognosis. Reports suggest that five-year survival after current treatment is between 14 to 24 percent. The purpose of this retrospective study was investigate the morbidity and mortality patients diagnosed with stage NSCLC treated pneumonectomy at University Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, KY.We reviewed medical record tumor registry follow-up data on 100 consecutive who underwent for Kentucky.We identified thirty-six...
Objectives To assess the safety, efficacy, and durability of Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold in predominantly complex, infra-popliteal lesions for management chronic limb ischemia at two-year clinical follow-up. Bioresorbable are biodegradable scaffolds that provide short-term support before undergoing intravascular degradation. A recent trial reported excellent 36-month vessel patency rates simple infrapopliteal arterial treated with scaffold. Methods This single-center,...
Objective to investigate long-term survival in patients who underwent pneumonectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer at the University of Kentucky Medical Center. Methods we retrospectively reviewed 100 consecutive cases from 1998 2009 Kentucky. We were able obtain follow-up data on 99 patients. Results overall 1-, 2-, and 5-year was 66%, 48%, 32%, respectively. The 5- left 76%, 55%, 40%, respectively, compared 56%, 44%, 22%, right pneumonectomy. median 2.4 years 1.2 ( p = 0.056). diagnosed...
To investigate longitudinal trends in valvular and ventricular function with long-term left assist device (LVAD) therapy, we analyzed hemodynamic echocardiographic data of patients at least 2 years continuous LVAD support. All 130 who underwent HeartMate II implantation our institution between 2005 2012 were reviewed. Twenty had evaluations both the early (0-6 months) late (2-3 years) postoperative period. Patients on inotropic therapy or temporary mechanical support excluded. The average...
Abstract Background The transradial approach (TRA) for catheter interventions decreases vascular complications and bleeding versus transfemoral approach. Reducing time to hemostasis preventing radial artery occlusion (RAO) following TRA are important incompletely realized aspirations. Objectives This first‐in‐human study sought evaluate the efficacy of a novel, topically applied compound (hydrophobically modified polysaccharide‐chitosan, hm‐P) plus minimal required pneumatic compression,...
BACKGROUND: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is often seen in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Risk stratification of PE useful predicting mortality risk and hospital course. However, rates or predictors DVT proximal (popliteal, femoral, common iliac thrombosis) have not been studied the highest-risk who receive catheter-directed therapy (CDT) for their PE. A single-center retrospective analysis referred CDT confirmed was conducted to evaluate impact on short-term outcomes. In 137...
