Modified selective aortic root reconstruction with valve repair for treatment of Stanford A aortic dissectionCARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - Tập 28 - Trang 1-7 - 2020
Mohammed Abd Al Jawad
Acute aortic dissection is a serious emergency with a significant impact on mortality and morbidity. Many patients present with hemodynamic instability that may prevent them from being transported to more experienced centers. We aim to present our experience with a modified limited root approach in terms of the operative details and early results. This retrospective study included 27 patients who ...... hiện toàn bộ
Cardioprotective effect of propofol in cardioplegia compared to systemic propofol in heart valves surgery; a randomized controlled trialCARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - Tập 31 - Trang 1-10 - 2023

Myocardial protection is still a focus of ongoing research. Propofol is used widely during the induction of anaesthesia in cardiac surgery. So, this triggers us to investigate the cardioprotective effect of the propofol when added to the cardioplegia compared to systemic propofol by measuring the troponin T level. This clinical randomized controlled trial was carried out on 150 patients operated f...... hiện toàn bộ
Efficacy of heart transplantation in patients with a failing Fontan: a systematic review and meta-analysisCARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - Tập 29 - Trang 1-9 - 2021

As the population of patients with Fontan palliation grows, so does the number of patients with Fontan failure, necessitating heart transplantation. However, due to mainly small-sized studies, outcomes after heart transplantation in these patients remain unclear. The objective of this study was to review the available literature and conduct a meta-analysis to provide well-powered and generalizable...... hiện toàn bộ
Risk and benefits of temporary pacemaker electrodes in adult open-heart surgery—a systematic reviewCARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - Tập 30 - Trang 1-14 - 2022
Malene S. Enevoldsen, Per Hostrup Nielsen, J. Michael Hasenkam
To assess the achieved risk and benefits of inserting temporary epicardial pacemaker electrodes after open-heart surgery for potential treatment of postoperative cardiac arrhythmias, and to investigate the extent of its use in clinical practice. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and repeated in Embase and Scopus using the PRISMA guidelines. The search identified 905 studies and resulted ...... hiện toàn bộ
Dissemination and implementation analysis of the Ross procedure in adults: time to update the guidelines?CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - Tập 31 - Trang 1-8 - 2023
Kyle S. Bilodeau, David C. Mauchley, Scott DeRoo, Christopher R. Burke
The science of dissemination and implementation (D&I) aims to improve the quality and effectiveness of care by addressing the challenges of incorporating research and evidence-based practice into routine clinical practice. This lens of D&I has challenged the interpretation and incorporation of data, noting that failure of a given therapy may not reflect lack of efficacy, but instead reflect an imp...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Background
Cor triatriatum is a rare congenital heart disease representing the 0.4% of all congenital cardiac anomalies. To date, no specific genetic alteration has been associated to cor triatriatum. The left-sided presentation (cor triatriatum sinister (CTS)) generally consists in a fibro...... hiện toàn bộ
Salvage of infected cardiac implantable electronic device with taurolidine—a case reportCARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - Tập 30 - Trang 1-4 - 2022
Stefan Borov, Benito Baldauf, Ernest W. Lau, Hendrik Bonnemeier
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are commonly used to treat cardiac arrhythmias and prevent sudden cardiac death. Complications of CIED therapy include component malfunction, lead dislodgement, skin erosion and infection. Infection can result in significant morbidity and even mortality. The recommended treatment of CIED skin erosion and infection is urgent complete device extraction....... hiện toàn bộ
Surgical Apgar Score in thoracic surgery: how to see it coming?CARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - Tập 31 Số 1
Hussein Elkhayat
AbstractRisk scores are very crucial for modern surgical practice. In thoracic surgery, it is important to know when a patient might need postoperative intensive care or an early second look for bleeding before it is too late. The Surgical Apgar Score is a simple yet informative tool to help surgeons preemptively prepare and help their patients in a prompt manner.<...
