The impact of invasive treatment of superficial venous insufficiency of the lower extremities on cardiac functions.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of invasive treatment for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) on cardiac hemodynamics.

Methods: Fifty three patients diagnosed with saphenofemoral junction or great saphenous vein insufficiency in a level above C3 according to Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology classification were included in the study. All the patients underwent 2D echocardiography before and 3 months after the invasive treatment.

The ımportance of ınflammatory parameters ın predıctıng deep sternal wound ınfectıons after open heart surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the development of deep sternal wound infection after open heart surgery and inflammatory parameters obtained from routine biochemical tests.

Methods: A total of 280 patients who underwent cardiac surgery with median sternotomy between January 2015 and January 2020 were examined retrospectively. Patients who developed deep sternal wound infection were identified as "Group 1," and those who did not develop deep sternal wound infection were identified as "Group 2.

Investigation of the effect of acute to chronic glycemic ratio on major amputation development after surgical thromboembolectomy in patients with acute lower extremity ischemia.

Background: Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is an emergency vascular pathology in which perfusion is disrupted in the lower extremity and threatens extremity viability. The admission blood glucose (ABG)/estimated average glucose (eAG) value has recently been shown as a prognostic marker in acute cardiovascular events. In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictive role of an ABG/eAG value in predicting development of early postoperative major amputation after emergency thromboembolectomy operations in patients presenting with ALI.

Investigation of the effects of diabetes mellitus on left internal thoracic artery flow patterns in patients scheduled to undergo coronary bypass graft surgery.

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus (DM) plays a key role in the formation and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of DM and glycemic control on left internal thoracic artery (LITA) Doppler flow in patients scheduled to undergo coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

Methods: Patients who were hospitalized with a planned isolated CABG operation to our clinic between October 1, 2019 and March 1, 2020 were consecutively included in this prospective study.

The Effect of Preoperative Hematocrit Level on Early Outcomes After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.

Introduction: Low hematocrit level is a hematological problem that is frequently encountered in the preoperative evaluation of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative hematocrit level on the first 30-day outcomes in patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Methods: Ninety-four patients undergoing isolated CABG were included in the study.
