Effects of Ozaki procedure on hematological and biochemical parameters.

Introduction: The Ozaki procedure is an open-heart surgery technique used in aortic valve surgery. We investigated the effect of the Ozaki procedure on postoperative hematological and biochemical parameters as in other open-heart surgery applications.

Methods: A total of 42 patients between December 2020 and December 2022 who underwent the Ozaki procedure were analyzed retrospectively.

Single center two years' experience of Ozaki procedure: Early follow-up.

The Ozaki Procedure is an innovative surgical technique aiming of aortic valve neocuspidization using glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium was first developed by Ozaki et al in 2007. With this newly developed technique, valve replacement was achieved without using prosthetic material due to both aortic stenosis and aortic insufficiency. Between December 2020 and December 2022, a total of 59 patients were operated on with the Ozaki Procedure due to aortic valve pathologies in our center.

The fifth redo operation for mitral paravalvular leakage and free-floating closure device extraction: A case report.

Paravalvular leakage (PVL) is a serious complication of prosthetic valve surgery. Surgical and transcatheter methods can be used for treatment. It is rare for closure devices to detach and free float in cardiac chambers.

Blunt Traumatic Aortic Injury: 10-Year Single-Center Experience.

Objective:  In blunt trauma patients, injury of the thoracic aorta is the second most common cause of death after head injury. In recent years, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has largely replaced open repair as the primary treatment modality, and delayed repair of stable aortic injuries has been shown to improve mortality. In light of these major advancements, we present a 10-year institutional experience from a tertiary cardiovascular surgery center.
