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

Efficacy of heart transplantation in patients with a failing Fontan: a systematic review and meta-analysisCARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - Tập 29 - Trang 1-9 - 2021
Wardah Hassan, Sohny Kotak, Mahima Khatri, Areeba Ahmed, Jawad Ahmed, Syed Saad Ali, Taj M. Khan
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
Treatment of non-restrictive cor triatriatum sinister during concomitant cardiac surgeryCARDIOTHORACIC SURGEON - - 2022
Lorenzo Di Bacco, Michele D’Alonzo, Alberto Repossini, Francesca Zanin, Claudio Muneretto, Stefano Benussi
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
fibromuscular membrane that divides the left atrium into two chambers, therefore
generating a varying gra... 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
