Low-Dose Heparin Protocol in Type A Aortic Dissection Surgeries.

Objective: We aim to compare the heparin dose regimen in terms of bleeding, reoperation rate due to severe bleeding, and the amount of transfusion of the blood products in patients who underwent surgery for type A aortic dissection (TAAD).

Materials And Methods: Between January 2018 and August 2021, 90 adult patients who underwent for TAAD were included. Primary outcome measures were postoperative bleeding amount and blood product transfusion requirements.

Conservative and integrated management of genital lymphoedema: case reports for men.

Genital oedema of primary and secondary aetiology is gaining increased recognition; it occurs in people of all ages, although accurate prevalence remains unknown. While reports of surgical intervention are quite common, clear description of conservative management is rare, and, overall, diagnosis and management remain largely delayed. Conservative management of genital oedema requires imaginative use of compression bandages and support garments, adapted manual lymphatic drainage, enablement of exercise and activities required for school/employment and diligent skin care to avoid cellulitis.

Color Doppler ultrasound for surveillance following EVAR as the primary tool.

Objective: As aneurysm-related events and rupture is not eliminated, postoperative lifelong surveillance is mandatory after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). For surveillance colored Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) is a standard method of noninvasive evaluation having the advantages of availability, cost-effectiveness, and lack of nephrotoxicity and radiation. We evaluated CDUS for primary surveillance tool after elective EVAR by comparing with computerized tomography.
