Hemiarch and ascending aorta replacement can be done with low morbidity and mortality during bicuspid aortic valve replacement. Hemiarch replacement had longer bypass and cross-clamp times, higher risk of blood transfusion, but similar follow-up freedom from repeat aortic arch operation and survival....
whereby image quality becomes less dependent on heart rate and pulsation artefacts. By means of imaging of the ascending aorta prior CABG, the elimination of pulsation artifacts may be considered to be the key requirement of CTA. In this context, ungated high-pitch protocols ...
aorta [42,110], has been introduced as a powerful non-invasive technique in cardiovascular imaging for the assessment of local WSS [30]. WSS, which refers to the force per unit area exerted by moving fluid in the vessel, can be estimated as a product of wall shear rate (WSR) and ...
45 Statistics of institutions with considerable experience indicate that graft replacement of the ascending aorta still remains a technical challenge entailing significant risk, with perioperative mortality varying from 1.5% up to 10%.3, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 Immer and coworkers49 studied ...
Thoracic aortaWe read with interest the review by Papakonstantinou and Rorris, who approached the issue of surgical indications for thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). They concluded that a more aggressive approach is advised, given the low mortality rate for TAA surgery and the lower diameters at ...
Survival RateRisk AssessmentCase-Control StudiesBackground and Aim : In the present study, we investigated the benefit of ascending aorta replacement in patients with severe aortic atherosclerosis who undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Methods: From January 2001 to April 2011, 3842 ...
A relatively greater aortic expansion rate was identified as a risk factor for late mortality (p=0.015, HR 1.08 (CI: 1.02 to 1.15).ConclusionsConcomitant replacement of the dilated ascending aorta during AVR did not increase the immediate postoperative morbidity or mortality risks and tended to ...
Operations such as composite valve-graft root replacement or valve-sparing root reconstruction carry expected mortality < 4% with few perioperative complications.1-4 However, reoperative sur gery on the ascending aorta continues to be quite challenging for cardiac surgeons. The mortality for these ...
Endovascular heart procedures, in contrast to open heart surgical procedures, would require only local anesthesia, partial or no cardiac bypass, one to two days hospitalization, and should have a reduced mortality rate as compared to open heart procedures. However, as discussed in the literature but...
