Does off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery reduce mortality in high risk patients?
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Forum Multimedia Publishing LLC., 2001)Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare outcome in two groups of patients who were classified according to their risk groups and underwent coronary revascularization with or without cardiopulmonary bypass. Material and Methods: Between January 1996 and July 2000 480 cases that underwent coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) were included in a retrospective nonrandomized manner for study. Group I included 210 patients who were revascularized using off-pump techniques. Octopus ...

Effects of intravenous triiodothyronine during coronary artery bypass surgery
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Asia Publishing Exchange Pte Ltd, 2002)A prospective randomized and double-blind study was performed to evaluate whether perioperative triiodothyronine administration has any effect on cardiovascular performance after coronary artery bypass surgery. Sixty patients were assigned to 2 groups of 30 each. When crossclamping ended group A received an intravenous bolus of triiodothyronine followed by infusion for 6 hours. Group B received a placebo. Serum triiodothyronine levels and hemodynamic parameters were serially measured. Mean ...

Left versus bi-atrial intraoperative saline-irrigated radiofrequency modified maze procedure for atrial fibrillation
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(2003)Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the saline-irrigated radiofrequency modified maze operation for the treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) and compare the results of the left and bi-atrial procedures. Material and method: During a period of two years 105 patients with chronic AF having concomitant cardiac surgery underwent the procedure. Patients underwent either a bi-atrial (n = 48) or left atrial (n = 57) maze procedure. The first twenty patients ...

The surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation [Atriyal fibrilasyonun cerrahi tedavisi]
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(2007)The surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has entered a new era with the development of new tools and advanced techniques. The Maze III operation remains as the gold standard for the surgical treatment of AF. However new energy sources have been adopted for treating this arrhythmia in an effort to reduce the invasiveness and technical concerns with the original procedure. Success rates ranging between 70-98% have been reported using these new techniques. On the other hand interventional ...

The use of autologous pericardium for complicated mitral valve annulus
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Asia Publishing Exchange Pte Ltd, 2004)The study aims to discuss annular repair using the autologous pericardial patch in cases with severe mitral ring calcification and endocarditis during mitral valve replacement. In the study annular reconstruction was applied during mitral valve replacement to 8 patients who had extensive annular calcification or annular destruction due to endocarditis. After annular resection a two-centimeter wide autologous pericardial patch was sutured continuously to the left ventricular wall close to the ...

Authors:
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 ...

Time flow measurements (TTFM) differ between grafts do transit performed on and off-pump CABG? a comparitive study
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Forum Multimedia Publishing LLC., 2002)Background: The aim of this study was to compare intraoperative coronary graft flows performed on and off-pump and to evaluate the effects of hemodilution on coronary graft flows in off-pump CABG patients by using TTFM. Materials and Methods: During a one year period 150 patients undergoing a CABG only procedure were enrolled in a prospective randomized manner. Group 1 consisted of 50 patients undergoing CABG using standard CPB techniques. Group 2 consisted of 50 cases who were planned to undergo ...
