Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with severe COVID-19 adult respiratory distress syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Tập 29 Số 1 - 2021
Abstract Background COVID 19 is the most recent cause of adult respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can support
gas exchange in patients failing conventional mechanical ventilation, but its
role is still controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis
on ECMO for COVID-associated ARDS to study its outcome. Main body CENTRAL,
MEDLINE/Pub...
A case of needle embolism in a drug abuser, a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
Tập 28 Số 1 - 2020
Abstract Background Needle embolism is a rare complication of intravenous habit.
Clinical manifestations include recurrent pericarditis, tamponade, cardiac
perforation, and infective endocarditis. We describe the case of needle
embolization in a young intravenous opiate abuser. Case presentation We describe
a rare complication of intravenous misuse in a 23-year-old patient. He presented
at the eme...
Neurological complications after pediatric cardiac surgery
- 2021
Abstract Background The number of pediatric patients who survive open-heart
surgery has increased in recent years and the complications seen in this patient
group continue to decrease with each technological advance, including new
surgical and neuroprotective techniques and the improvement in surgeons’
experience with this patient population. However, neurological complications,
which are the most...
Early outcomes of aortic valve repair versus replacement for aortic regurgitation: a single-center experience
Tập 30 Số 1 - 2022
Abstract Background Aortic valve repair in rheumatic patients is not
well-studied. We aimed to present our initial Egyptian experience in the aortic
valve repair and compare it with the aortic valve replacement. The study
included 85 patients who had an aortic valve surgery for aortic regurgitation
(AR) in a single center from 2018 to 2020. We assigned the patients to either
aortic valve repair (n...
Predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Tập 30 Số 1 - 2022
Abstract Background Perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI) increases
morbidity and mortality after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
The objective of the current study was to characterize patients with PMI after
off-pump CABG and identify its predictors. Results We included 1181 patients who
had off-pump CABG from 2010 to 2020; 59 patients (5%) had PMI. We compared
patients with ...
Giant right coronary artery aneurysm with vena cava superior fistula: a case report and radiological findings
Tập 30 Số 1 - 2022
Abstract Background Giant coronary artery aneurysms (GCAA) are a rare disease
entity with an estimated incidence of 0.02%. Atherosclerosis is the most common
underlying factor in adulthood. Management guidelines lack the support of
large-scale studies. Case presentation We present a case of a 58-year-old
Caucasian male with complaints of stable dyspnea who was found to have a GCAA of
the right cor...
Index of deterioration of patients with mechanical prosthetic heart valve thrombosis
Tập 28 Số 1 - 2020
Abstract Background Mechanical prosthetic heart valves are known for their
durability; however, a malfunctioning prosthesis can deteriorate rapidly to
become a life-threatening complication. Our aim was to calculate a numerical
index to express the rate of clinical deterioration of patients presenting with
a mechanical prosthetic heart valve thrombosis (PVT), called the index of
deterioration (ID)...
Postoperative atrial fibrillation after thoracic surgery (PoAF): risk factors and outcome
Abstract Background Postoperative AF (PoAF) is a common complication of the
early postoperative period of noncardiac, thoracic surgery and is associated
with prolonged hospital stay. In order to investigate the predictors of PoAF in
the specific setting of lung surgery of oncologic patients, we retrospectively
analyzed 338 consecutive patients admitted to our department to be operated for
lung can...
Preoperative hemodynamics as predictors of right heart failure post-left ventricular assist device
AbstractBackgroundMechanical circulatory support has garnered significant
popularity as both a bridge to transplant as well as a destination therapy for
patients with end-stage heart failure. Right heart failure (RHF) is a
devastating complication after LVAD placement and is very unpredictable.
Assisted circulation of the left ventricle (LV) with an LVAD device could unmask
an underlying RHF. Howe...
