More than 80% of donor lungs are potentially injured and therefore not considered suitable for transplantation. With the use normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP), retrieved can be perfused in an circuit, providing opportunity to reassess its function before In this study, we examined feasibility transplanting high-risk that have undergone EVLP.In prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial, subjected high risk transplantation 4 hours EVLP. High-risk were defined by specific criteria,...
We sought to develop a predictive model based exclusively on preoperative factors identify patients at risk for PrlICULOS following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Retrospective analysis was performed undergoing isolated CABG single center between June 1998 and December 2002. defined as initial admission ICU exceeding 72 h. A parsimonious risk-predictive constructed the basis of factors, with subsequent internal validation. Of 3483 2002, 411 (11.8%) experienced PrlICULOS. Overall...
BACKGROUND Sirolimus, a mechanistic target of sirolimus inhibitor, is an immunosuppression medication for patients undergoing heart and abdominal transplantation. Sirolimus-based administered de novo post-lung transplantation associated with bronchial anastomosis healing-related complications. We hypothesized that administration within the first postoperative month in selected lung transplant recipients safe may be favorable short-term long-term outcomes due to its anti-proliferative...
Background Right anterior mini thoracotomy (RAMT) for aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a minimally invasive procedure that avoids sternotomy. Herein, we report the outcomes of patients who underwent redo-cardiac via RAMT approach AVR. Methods This case series reports clinical 14 consecutive redo operations, done in Calgary (Canada) and Gdansk (Poland) between 2020 2023. Primary were 30-day mortality disabling stroke. Secondary included surgical times, hemodynamics, permanent pacemaker...
Background: Early identification of patients at risk for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) based on novel biomarkers and tissue oxygen saturation might enable intervention to reduce injury. Aims: The study aimed ascertain whether brain muscle oxygenation measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), in addition cystatin C NGAL concentrations, could help with CS-AKI prediction. Methods: This is a single-centre prospective observational adult undergoing surgery using...
There is a paucity of data concerning the clinical characteristics, management, and outcomes coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in patients ≤ 45 years old.We aimed to compare in-hospital long-term > old, who underwent isolated CABG.We identified consecutive had CABG Department Cardiac Surgery Transplantology Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases Zabrze between January 2006 December 2011 were enrolled Polish National Registry Procedures (KROK registry). A total 8196 split into two...
BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to investigate serum concentrations visfatin, irisin, and omentin in patients with end-stage lung diseases (ESLD) before after transplantation (LTx) find relationship between adipokines levels clinical outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Fourteen consecutive transplant recipients (six males seven females; age 32.0±14.2 years; body mass index (BMI) 21.8±5.3 kg/m²) who underwent initial diagnosis respiratory failure due cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic obstructive...
Background: Patients after cardiovascular surgery, requiring renal replacement therapy, can benefit from adequate non-heparin circuit anticoagulation. Simplified regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) protocol proposes the use of citric acid dextrose formula A (ACD-A) during post-dilutional continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) with standard bicarbonate buffered calcium containing solution. Citrate accumulation diagnosed upon total to ionized ratio (tCa/iCa) and low (iCa) are...
Abstract Surgical site infections ( SSI s) are of tissues, organs, or spaces exposed by surgeons during performance an invasive procedure. s classified into superficial, which limited to skin and subcutaneous deep. The incidence deep in lung transplant LT x) patients is estimated at 5%. No reports have been published as the superficial specifically x patients. Common sense would dictate that majority be bacterial. Uncommonly, fungal may occur, we believe no exist viral wound patients, any...
BACKGROUND:This single-center study analyzed distinctions between lung transplants performed in the Department of Cardiac and Vascular surgery University Clinical Center Gdańsk, Poland before during COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIAL AND METHODS:There were 189 patients who underwent qualification procedure to transplantation Surgery years 2019 2020. The control group consisted 12 transplanted 2019, 16 RESULTS:During process was 102 with pulmonary end-stage diseases. In 2020, despite 3-month...
