What to expect after tricuspid valve replacement? Long-term results.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg
August 2007
Objective: Current knowledge in long-term results of tricuspid valve replacement is limited. Present study reviews our experience from a consecutive series.
Methods: Forty-two patients (16 male, 26 female; mean age: 33+/-15) underwent tricuspid valve replacement between March 1987 and December 2004.
Background And Aim Of The Study: Cardiac surgery during pregnancy represents a major challenge as it comprises a single operation for two survivors.
Methods: Between 1988 and 2005, 16 pregnant women underwent cardiac surgery at the authors' institution. Among 14 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis operated on due to clinical deterioration, closed mitral valvulotomy was performed in 12 cases (three urgently in the third trimester, nine at term concomitantly with cesarean delivery).
Background: The value of off-pump in situ left internal thoracic artery to left anterior descending coronary artery bypass grafting in single-vessel coronary artery disease was assessed by long-term angiographic and clinical data.
Methods: One-hundred three randomly selected patients (87 male, 16 female; mean age, 57.4 +/- 10.
Objective: Although short-term results of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting are well documented, late postoperative data are still scarce. This report provides an analysis of late postoperative control angiograms.
Methods: 265 patients (231 males, 34 females; mean age: 54 +/- 10) underwent postoperative angiographic control, after an average postoperative period of 4.
Introduction: We present our experience with surgical treatment of arterial complications in Behcet disease (vasculo-Behcet disease), and the long-term results and pitfalls of surgical treatment.
Material And Methods: Between January 1990 and January 2003, 20 consecutive patients underwent surgery to treat vasculo-Behcet disease. Most patients (17 of 20) were men, with mean age of 38.
