Clinical experience with coronary sinus catheterization in minimally invasive aortic valve surgery under transesophageal echocardiography guidance
Authors:Demirsoy, Ergun; Ozbek, Ugur; Bayındır, Osman; Sonmez, Baris
Publisher and Date:(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002)We aimed to show conventional coronary sinus (CS) catheter could be used with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance through the limited surgical field in aortic valve surgery with 'J' sternotomy. This method was performed in 14 patients and completed successfully in 12. We believe that in minimally invasive aortic valve surgery the insertion of the conventional retrograde cardioplegia catheter to the CS with routine way may not be possible but application of TEE guidance is cost-effective ...

Does normoxemic cardiopulmonary bypass prevent myocardial reoxygenation injury in cyanotic children?
Authors:Bulutcu, Füsun S.; Bayındır, Osman; Polat, Bülent; Yalcin, Yalim; Ozbek, Ugur; Cakali, Emine
Publisher and Date:(W.B. Saunders Co Ltd, 2002)Objective: To evaluate whether the deleterious effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can be prevented by controlling PaO2 in cyanotic children. Design: Prospective randomized clinical study. Setting: Single university hospital. Participants: Pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery for repair of congenital heart disease (n = 24). Interventions: Patients were randomly allocated into 3 groups. Patients in the acyanotic group (group I n = 10) had CPB initiated at a fraction of inspired oxygen ...

Hemodilution during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: Can we improve flow and reduce hypercoagulability?
Authors:Güden, Mustafa; Sanisoğlu, İlhan; Sagbas, Ertan; Ergenoglu, Mehmet U.; Ozbek, Ugur; Akpinar, Belhhan
Publisher and Date:(Forum Multimedia Publishing LLC., 2003)Background: The aim of this study was to compare intraoperative coronary graft flows performed on pump and off pump and to evaluate the effects of hemodilution on coronary graft flows in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients by using transit time flow measurements (TTFM). Methods: Three hundred patients undergoing only CABG procedures were enrolled in a prospective randomized manner into 3 groups. Group 1 consisted of 100 patients undergoing operations with standard cardiopulmonary ...

The use of stentless valves for root replacement during repair of ascending aortic aneurysms with aortic valve regurgitation
Authors:Akpinar, Belhhan; Güden, Mustafa; Aytekin, Saide; Sanisoğlu, İlhan; Saǧbaş, Ertan; Ozbek, Ugur; Caynak, Barış; Bayramoğlu, Zehra
Publisher and Date:(Forum Multimedia Publishing LLC., 2002)Background: Early and mid-term results of stentless valves for the treatment of ascending aortic aneurysm ( AAA) were evaluated in a retrospective manner. Material and Methods: During a four-year period 26 patients with ascending aortic aneurysms and aortic valve insuffiency underwent a total root replacement procedure using a stentless Freestyle valve (Medtronic Inc. Minneapolis MN). Mean age was 71 +/- 4 years ( range 66 to 79 years). Eight patients were in NYHA Class 2 13 in Class 3 and 5 in ...

Which anesthetic agent alters the hemodynamic status during pediatric catheterization? Comparison of propofol versus ketamine
Authors:Oklu, E; Bulutcu, Füsun S.; Yalcin, Yalim; Ozbek, Ugur; Cakali, Emine; Bayındır, Osman
Publisher and Date:(W.B. Saunders Co Ltd, 2003)Objective: To compare the effects of propofol and ketamine on systemic and pulmonary circulations in pediatric patients scheduled for elective cardiac catheterization. Design: Prospective randomized and blinded. Setting: University hospital. Participants: Children (n = 41) undergoing cardiac catheterization. Interventions: All children were premedicated with oral midazolam 60 minutes before the procedure. Patients were separated into 3 groups according to shunts diagnosed by transthoracic ...

Which may be effective to reduce blood loss after cardiac operations in cyanotic children: tranexamic acid aprotinin or a combination?
Authors:Bulutcu, Füsun S.; Ozbek, Ugur; Polat, Bülent; Yalcin, Yalim; Karaci, A.R.; Bayındır, Osman
Publisher and Date:(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2005)Background: Children with cyanotic heart disease undergoing cardiac surgery in which cardiopulmonary bypass is used are at increased risk of postoperative bleeding. In this study the authors investigated the possibility of reducing postoperative blood loss by using aprotinin and tranexamic acid alone or a combination of these two agents. Methods: In a prospective randomized blind study 100 children undergoing cardiac surgery were investigated. In group 1 (n = 25) patients acted as the control and ...
