Choice of CTO scores to predict procedural success in clinical practice. A comparison of 4 different CTO PCI scores in a comprehensive national regis…
2021
Background We aimed to compare the performance of the recent CASTLE score to J-CTO, CL and PROGRESS CTO scores in a comprehensive database of percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusion procedures. Methods Scores were calculated using raw data from 1,342 chronic total occlusion procedures included in REBECO Registry that includes learning and expert operators. Calibration, discrimination and reclassification were evaluated and compared. Results Mean score values were: CASTLE 1.60±1.10, J-CTO 2.15±1.24, PROGRESS 1.68±0.94 and CL 2.52±1.52 points. The overall percutaneous coronary intervention success rate was 77.8%. Calibration was good for CASTLE and CL, but not for J-CTO…
Reevaluation of direct true lumen cannulation in surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.
2009
Background The optimal mode of arterial cannulation in acute type A aortic dissection is controversial. We retrospectively investigated our experience with direct true lumen cannulation as an alternative to standard cannulation procedures. Methods From April 2004 to August 2007, 29 patients (20 men, 9 women; mean age of 63.2 ± 12.6 years) underwent emergency operation for acute type A aortic dissection with direct true lumen cannulation. After venous drainage into the venous reservoir, the ascending aorta was completely transected in the region between the sinotubular junction and innominate artery. After visual and digital identification of the true lumen, the arterial cannula was directly…
Analysis of sociodemographic and clinical factors determining experience and satisfaction with nursing care among cardiosurgical unit patients
2022
Wprowadzenie: Satysfakcja pacjenta z opieki pielęgniarskiej stała się kluczową determinantą jakości opieki szpitalnej. Cel pracy: Ustalenie poziomu doświadczeń i satysfakcji z opieki pielęgniarskiej pacjentów oddziału kardiochirurgii oraz ich determinantów. Materiał i metody: Zbadano 100 pacjentów oddziału kardiochirurgicznego. Zastosowano Skalę zadowolenia z pielęgnacji Newcastle (NSNS), Skalę numeryczną (NRS) oraz ankietę własną. Wyniki: Średnia wartość dla satysfakcji z opieki pielęgniarskiej wyniosła 77,99 ±20,20 pkt, a średnia wartość doświadczeń z opieki pielęgniarskiej – 77,29 ±15,10 pkt, a ich istotnym niezależnym predyktorem był poziom bólu. Każdy punkt na skali bólu obniżał satysf…
Evidence, Lack of Evidence, Controversy, and Debate in the Provision and Performance of the Surgery of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection
2011
Acute type A aortic dissection is a lethal condition requiring emergency surgery. It has diverse presentations, and the diagnosis can be missed or delayed. Once diagnosed, decisions with regard to initial management, transfer, appropriateness of surgery, timing of operation, and intervention for malperfusion complications are necessary. The goals of surgery are to save life by prevention of pericardial tamponade or intra-pericardial aortic rupture, to resect the primary entry tear, to correct or prevent any malperfusion and aortic valve regurgitation, and if possible to prevent late dissection-related complications in the proximal and downstream aorta. No randomized trials of treatment or t…
