2. 1. Heart Valve Surgery : Preoperative Assessment and Clinical Outcome

   Author : Laila Hellgren; Elisabeth Ståhle; Mårten Rosenquist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Heart valve surgery; magentic resonance imaging; echocardiography; operative mortality; survival; complications; quality of life; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : A more global analysis of the outcome of heart valve surgery is desirable to reflect the actual benefit for the patient. This thesis focuses on the preoperative assessment of the patient, and the outcome after surgery with regard to operative mortality, long-term survival, valve-related complications, and quality of life.

4. 2. Mechanical Circulatory Support in Left Ventricular Heart Failure

   Author : Petter Schiller; Laila Hellgren; Anders Jönsson; Göran Dellgren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mechanical Circulatory Support; Left Ventricular Heart Failure; Left Ventricular Assist Device; Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation; ECMO; Thorax Surgery; Thoraxkirurgi;

   Abstract : Short-term mechanical circulatory support (MCS) with ventricular assist devices or veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has become the standard treatment in patients with cardiogenic shock unresponsive to pharmacological treatment. However, the haemodynamic effects of these devices are not yet fully described, nor are their effects on ventricular function and myocardial recovery. READ MORE

5. 3. Treatment of Right Ventricular Failure through Partial Volume Exclusion : An Experimental Study

   Author : Per Vikholm; Laila Hellgren; Lund Lars; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Right Heart Failure; Left Ventricular Assist Device; Glenn shunt; Thorax Surgery; Thoraxkirurgi;

   Abstract : Implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a potential treatment in terminal heart failure. Right ventricular (RV) failure is a severe complication in these patients and sometimes requires additional placement of a right ventricular assist device (RVAD). READ MORE

6. 4. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, selection and candidacy

   Author : Carl-Henrik Ölander; Laila Hellgren; Per Vikholm; Anders Jeppson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation ECPR ; end-tidal carbon dioxide ETCO2 ; in-hospital cardiac arrest IHCA ; out-of-hospital cardiac arrest OHCA ;

   Abstract : Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an exclusive treatment using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in refractory cardiac arrest (CA). Treatment is associated with risk of serious complications, including neurologic impairment and renal failure. Success of treatment is dependent on appropriate selection of candidates. READ MORE
