Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study of Fenestrated and Branched Endografts After Failed Endovascular Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm Repair with Type Ia Endoleak.

Objective: Failed endovascular infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) due to development of late type Ia endoleak exposes patients to the risk of rupture and should be treated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of fenestrated/branched EVAR (F/BEVAR) for treatment of failed EVAR with type Ia endoleak.

Methods: From January 2010 to December 2019, a prospective multicentre study was conducted (ClinicalTrials.

Emergency endovascular stent graft repair for acute blunt thoracic aortic injury: a retrospective case control study.

Objective: To compare surgical and endovascular stent graft (ESG) treatment of blunt thoracic aortic injury (BAI) in the emergency setting.

Design And Setting: Retrospective case control study in two surgical intensive care units of a university hospital.

Patients: 30 patients who presented with BAI between 1995 and 2005: 17 treated surgically and 13 by ESG.

Effect of aprotinin on postoperative blood loss in off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery.

Background And Aim Of The Study: Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) enables a reduction in postoperative complications, particularly bleeding and transfusion. Nevertheless, a significant percentage of patients still needs transfusion. The effect of antifibrinolytic therapy on postoperative bleeding as part of OPCAB is still not widely described.

Right ventricular function after coronary surgery with or without bypass.

Background And Objective: Myocardial protection during aortic clamp period may sometimes be inadequate, especially for the right. The aim of this study was to compare right ventricle function after cardiac surgery with or without bypass.

Methods: Patients undergoing multivessel coronary surgery with proximal severe right coronary lesion were included in a prospective observational cohort study including 29 patients undergoing coronary surgery with or without bypass.

[Continuous infusion of remifentanil and target-controlled infusion of propofol for coronary surgery in elderly patients: comparison with continuous infusion of remifentanil and propofol].

Objectives: Comparison of the length of mechanical ventilation and postoperative complications after coronary surgery in elderly patients anaesthetised with propofol associated with either alfentanil or remifentanil.

Study Design: Retrospective study with an historic control group.

Patients: Three hundred thirty-eight consecutive patients (75-year-old or more) undergoing isolated coronary surgery.
