Does different orientation of the Medtronic Hall tilting disc valve in the aortic position effect transvalvuler pressure gradients?
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Medimond Srl, 2000)The effect of valve orientation during aortic valve replacement (AVR) with the Medtronic Hall (MH) tilting disc valve on transvalvuler pressure gradients was evaluated. 30 patients (pts) undergoing isolated AVR received a MH which was oriented so that the greater opening of the valve faced the non coronary aortic sinus. There were 12 male and 8 female pts in this group with a mean age of 59 +/- 5.2 years. An echocardiographic examination was performed 6 days after the operation and resting ...

Intraoperative thermal coronary angiography: quality control
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Medimond Srl, 2000)Per operative coronary angiography has always been desired by coronary surgeons. Direct coronary angiographic imaging is not practical since needs contrast injection requires radiation and excessive technology with experienced staff which adds more expenses. Thermal angiography device IVA-2000 (OPGAL) is started to be used in our coronary bypass operations as a routine procedure. Thermal imaging provides an effective and real time coronary angiograms which provides very clear coronary angiograms ...

Use of octopus 2 stabilization system for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Medimond Srl, 2000)The early results of 126 off pump CABG procedures performed through a median sternotomy incision (OPCAB) during a period of 18 months were evaluated. The mean age was 69+/-4.3 years. There were 80 male and 46 female patients. Emergency cases and reoperations were not included. A total of 268 anatomosis were performed with a mean number of 2.12 anastomosis Per patient. Conduits used were: LITA (100%) RITA (11.1%) GSV in (84%) and radial artery in (31%) of cases. In 72% of the cases off pump surgery ...
