Introduction: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the association between serum magnesium (Mg) and mortality, in particular the cause-specific mortality of Mg and other risk factors in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Methods: We studied a cohort of 185 HD patients receiving thrice-weekly HD treatment, on a dialysate Mg concentration of 0.5 mmol/L.

Total atrioventricular (AV) block is inconvenient and serious complication of open heart surgery. Permanent total AV block requires the implantation of permanent pacemaker in order to allow normal hemodynamics and patient's survival. In infancy additional challenge is the surgical approach, the selection of electrodes and PM, as well as place of implantation.

Goal: The aim of this study was to show whether the concomitant functional mitral regurgitation in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement improves after this surgical procedure and to identify preoperative echocardiographic parameters that may influence the lack of improvement in mitral regurgitation (MR) after aortic valve replacement (AVR).
Material And Methods: The study included 45 patients with severe aortic stenosis and concomitant moderate to severe (+2/+3)mitral regurgitation.
Results: The results of our study indicated an improvement in the degree of mitral regurgitation in 24 patients.

Objectives: This study aimed to simultaneously observe the expression of mononuclear cells (Mo) and plasma tissue factor (TF) in patients with ischemic cardiocerebrovascular diseases during the stage of acute onset and after the following three weeks and three months for exploration of the clinical implications concerned.
Methods: MoTF mRNA and plasma TF antigen (TFAg) from 76 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) together with 46 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and 61 healthy controls were quantitated respectively through RT-PCR and ELISA.
Results: Compared with the results in the control group, the level of MoTFmRNA and plasma TF in the other groups increased simultaneously and dramatically in the acute stage, which showed a good correlation among the groups (P<0.

Introduction: This study evaluated the frequency of domination of the coronary arteries types in patients treated by surgical myocardial revascularization. The aim of the study was to determine whether the left coronary circulation dominance is a prognostic factor for poorer outcome in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.
Material And Methods: A total sample consisted of 100 patients with coronary artery disease that were treated with coronary artery bypass grafting at the Clinic for Cardiac Surgery, Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo.

Objective: In our study we wanted to showed the safety, feasibility, efficacy and way how to solve the problems of endovascular repair for aortic dissection with insufficient proximal Landing Zone.
Methods: The clinical data of all the patients with insufficient proximal Landing Zone (PLZ) for endovascular repair for aortic aneurism and dissection Stanford type B for the period from October 2013 to June 2014 was prospectively reviewed. According to the classification proposed by Mitchell et al, aortic Zone 0 was involved in 3 cases, Zone 1 in 1 case, Zone 2 in 9 cases and Zone 3 in 6 cases (19 patients in total).

The study was aimed to define the predictors for peripheral and carotid revascularization in type 2 diabetic population. In all, 279 patients with type 2 diabetes and peripheral arterial disease were enrolled in a cohort longitudinal study. Study population was followed up for 24 months for the need and performance of peripheral or carotid revascularization.

The aim of this study is to identify the risk factors for development of chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI) in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). 127 patients (pts) with PAD (63 with type 2 diabetes and 64 nondiabetic) were randomly included in a cross sectional study. Out of them 17 were with CLI.

Unlabelled: The increasing use of stenting to treat more complex lesions and highly thrombogenic situations still carries higher risk for subacute stent thrombosis. To assess new heparin-coated stents in a more stringent reality, 40 consecutive patients were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either heparin-coated (group 1, 25 stents) or uncoated Palmaz-Schatz stents (group 2, 32 stents). The two groups were similar in baseline clinical, pre-and post-procedural angiographic and angioscopic characteristics.
