  1. 1. New Intraoperative Techniques to Improve Advanced Aortic Root Surgery

    Author : Faleh Alrashidi; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Modified Ross Operation; Aortic Root surgery; Microemboli signals MES ; Transcranial Doppler TCD ; Acute plateletphersis APP ; Transesophageal echocardiography TEE ; de-airing;

    Abstract : Study I: Thirteen patients underwent a modified Ross operation in which the free-standing pulmonary autograft was supported externally by a Dacron vascular prosthetic jacket (DVPJ). The tailor-made DVPJ prevented dilatation of the neo-aortic root significantly following a median follow-up of 47 months compared to a cohort of l3 matched patients undergoing conventional Ross operation.

  2. 2. Haemodynamic and ventilatory effects of laparoscopic surgery

    Keywords : Laparoscopy; C02 pneumoperitoneum; indicator- dilution technique; central haemodynamics; cardiac output; central blood volume; venous occlusion plethysmography; catecholamines; multiple inert gas technique; shunt; abdominal wall lift; intrathoracic pressure; ventilation-perfusion matching; atelectasis; spiral computed tomography.;

    Abstract : Background: It has been shown repeatedly that the establishment of pneumoperitoneum (PP) is associated with increased cardiac filling pressures, as well as increased blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Patients without heart or lung disease can compensate for these effects of PP, but cardiopulmonary compromised patients may develop cardiac failure during PP. READ MORE

  3. 3. Measures to prevent microembolization in cardiac surgery and during angiography with special reference to carbon dioxide

    Author : Jesper Nyman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiovascular interventions including open heart surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and coronary angiography may introduce air and particulate arterial embolism that may lead to tissue lesions of the brain and other organs. Aims: To assess: if CO2-insufflation of an empty CPB circuit decreases number of gaseous emboli in the prime compared with a conventional CPB circuit, which holds air before fluid priming (Study I); the efficacy of a new mini-diffuser device for CO2 de-airing in a minimally invasive open cardiothoracic wound cavity model and in patients undergoing minimally invasive open aortic valve surgery (Study II); if an extra separate venous reservoir abolishes CO2-insufflation induced hypercapnia and retains sweep gas flow of the oxygenator constant during open heart surgery (Study III); if there is a difference in the incidence of cerebral microemboli when using either the femoral or the radial approach during coronary angiography (Study IV).
