CRT-723 Is the Sporadic Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm the Result of an Inflammatory Process?

2014

Sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysm (S-TAA) is potentially devastating with severe morbidity and mortality. The histopathologic underlying abnormality of both ascending aortic aneurysm and dissection is medial degeneration, a pathological entity initially described as no inflammatory lesions of smooth

Grundlagen: In einer prospektiven Beobachtungsstudie nach totaler Parathyreoidektomie mit autologer Epithelkorperchenreplantation bei Patienten mit renalem Hyperparathyreoidismus wurden durch bilaterale Kubitalvenenblutentnahme ermittelte Parathormongradienten evaluiert.

Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery: State-of-the-art and our experience

2015

The minimally invasive approach is becoming the standard-of-care for surgery of the mitral valve. As any less invasive strategy, it entails an increased surgical complexity. Standard-of-care mitral repair using the totally videoscopic approach is indeed reproducible; however, few specific data on patients with complex mitral valve disease are available in the published literature. The purpose of the present paper is to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, and a summary of recent evidence on the topic, with particular regard to the surgical techniques and comparisons with conventional surgery. The experience of the GVM Care and Research n…

0201: Cardiac surgery associated with cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with stable coronary disease: growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF- 15) as …

2014

BackgroundGrowth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) has been identified as a strong marker for cardiovascular disease; however, no data are available concerning the role of GDF-15 in the occurrence of organ dysfunction during cardiac surgery associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).MethodsThirty four patients, programmed to have non-urgent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), were included in our study. Arterial blood samples were taken sequentially from anesthesia induction (IND) until 24h after arrival at the cardiovascular intensive care unit (ICU). Plasma levels of GDF-15, follistatin-like 1 (FLST1), myeloperoxidases (MPO), hydroperoxides and plasma antioxidant status (PAS) were …

Effect of storage time and donor sex of transfused red blood cells on 1-year survival in patients undergoing cardiac surgery: an observational study

2016

BACKGROUND Red blood cell (RBC) storage lesions and RBCs from females transfused into male recipients may have adverse effects on transfusion recipients' survival. We hypothesized that the effect of donor sex and the effect of age of blood on mortality would be most apparent in cardiac surgery patients. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Using data from French Blood Services and two university hospitals, we conducted a retrospective cohort study on cardiac surgery patients whose first transfusion occurred between 2007 and 2011. The age of blood and donor sex effects on 1-year survival were studied using Cox regression modeling, with time-dependent stratification on the number of RBCs and adjustments …
