Mild-to-moderate aortic regurgitation (AR) is not infrequently encountered after standard valve replacement, and reportedly more often following transcatheter implantation. Patients are usually managed by observational follow-up, but the clinical significance natural history of residual AR unknown. The goal this study was to determine its impact on outcome these patients. Between 1992 2011, 3201 consecutive patients underwent isolated replacement in our institution. Of these, 135 (4.2%) were...
Abstract Background The durability of bioprosthetic valves is limited by structural valve degeneration (SVD) leading to bioprostheses (BPs) stenosis or regurgitation. We hypothesized that a lipid‐mediated inflammatory mechanism involved in the SVD BPs. Material and methods Eighteen Freestyle stentless BP were explanted for at mean time 5·9 ± 3 years after implantation analysed immunohistochemistry transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results age patients was 65 8 there 11 male seven...
Optimal timing for CABG surgery after myocardial infarction (MI) remains controversial. We examined the influence of patient age and time elapsed between MI isolated on operative mortality.Perioperative data 13,545 patients who underwent from 1991 to 2005 were reviewed. A previous was found in 7219 patients, classified among groups A-E whether they less than 6h (A, n=26), 6 24h (B, n=51), 1 7 days (C, n=313), 8 30 (D, n=917), or more (E, n=5912) event. Crude percentages odds ratio estimates...
This article presents the authors' perspectives on modelling best practices for nature-based solutions (NBS). The authors led a workshop NBS as part of 8th IWA Water Resource Recovery Modelling Seminar (WRRmod2022+) in January 2023, where discussion centred around design, use cases, and potential applications models. Four real-world case studies, encompassing an aerated lagoon, biofilm-enhanced stormwater basin, constructed wetland were reviewed to demonstrate practical challenges systems....
The aim of this study was to audit our management hip fracture and compare the results with Scottish Hip Fracture Audits both 2004 2006. We present data utilising a subset SAHFE proforma on 500 consecutive admissions Redcliffe Hospital fractured hip, review progress at four months post-operatively comparison outcomes in orthopaedic units hospitals. outline how helped us detect long emergency department door-to-operating theatre times plus high re-operation rate subsequently identify steps...
Objectives: Overall, the use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITA) seems to be associated with improved long-term patient outcomes. The objective this study was explore impact BITA in survival patients low ejection fraction undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: Between April 1991 and October 2011, 2035 consecutive underwent primary grafting. Among them, there were 134 an (EF) 40% or less. During same time period, 1682 CABG procedures performed using a...
Objectives: The optimal prosthesis option for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in adult patients less than 60 years of age with stenosis remains controversial. Our objective was to determine the long-term outcomes Ross procedure these patients. Methods: Between 1990 and 2013, 278 aged 18 above (mean 40.3 ± 10.6) underwent elective either by root (96%) or subcoronary technique (4%). Among them, 225 had predominant severe stenosis; form study group. There were 171 bicuspid valves 34 redo...
BACKGROUND: To explore the optimal use and early long-term results of bilateral internal mammary artery (BIMA) grafting in patients undergoing primary CABG.METHODS: Between 1992 2011, 2120 underwent BIMA our institution.The second IMA was used to revascularize RCA, LAD circumflex system 1372, 263, 485 patients, respectively.Propensity score multivariate analyses were performed compare from single (n ϭ 13235) 1861) groups.Logistic Cox regression predict distribution 30-day cumulative...
Objectives: Structural valve deterioration (SVD) of bioprosthetic heart valves is a complex process which limits the long-term durability bioprostheses. Freestyle stentless bioprostheses are mainly implanted using two techniques, subcoronary or aortic root replacement technique. Our objective was to determine whether implantation technique had an impact on late reoperation for structural deterioration. Methods: Between January 1993 and May 2011, 531 patients underwent primary elective...
Background: The effects of exercise training (ET) on myocardial perfusion after infarction have been well studied with scintigraphy whereas cardiac MRI seems a better technique which was not used yet in the literature this indication. 
 Methods: 11 patients first were left again 2 groups: 20 session-ET program (T, n=6) and control group (C, n=5). All underwent dipirydamole cardiopulmonary test at entry 3 months. Results At months, improvements work capacity (P < 0,05), peak VO2 0,05)...
exist among therapeutic options for the CABG conduits utilized LMCA disease.The primary objective of this study is to report single center rates bilateral internal thoracic artery (BIMA) usage in comparison (SIMA) over a 10-year period patients with isolated disease.METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed retrospective cohort analysis using an institutional database consecutive disease, defined as angiographically significant lesion 50%.Patients were excluded if they had any additional coronary...
Abstract Objective To evaluate very long-term survival of Total Arterial Revascularization (TAR) in patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). Methods Between January 1992 and December 2017, 13798 aged 70 years or less underwent primary isolated CABG at least two grafts our department. Patients receiving TAR were matched by propensity-score analysis to the rest population. All pre- peri-operative data collected prospectively...
