Background: Bleeding from the staple line is a rare but serious problem following bariatric surgery. Staple line bleeding control (SLBC) can be achieved in different ways such as the application of sutures, clips, glue or ...
Background We aimed to investigate the risk factors of post-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) atrial fibrillation (AF) in male and female patients without any history of AF, to identify the sex-specific risk factors, ...
BACKGROUND/AIMS:
This experimental study was designed to evaluate histological changes of the kidney and renal tissue levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and nitric oxide (NO) and the effect of ...
Postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion formation is a major cause of intestinal obstruction, pain and infertility. This experimental study was designed to evaluate the degree of adhesion formation and peritoneal tissue ...
We report an unusual outcome of an ascending aorta aneurysm ruptured into the main pulmonary trunk. After successful emergency repair, an acute respiratory distress syndrome developed perioperatively and complicated the ...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS OF THE STUDY:
It is commonly held that preservation of the annulo-ventricular continuity during mitral valve replacement has a beneficial effect on postoperative ventricular function. This paper presents ...
BACKGROUND:
Minimally invasive techniques have gained recent interest in the realm of cardiac surgery. This report describes our initial experience with graft replacement of ascending aortic aneurysms using a superior ...
Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of myocardial ischemia. It is a condition
with greater prevalence in young women, particularly in the peripartum or early postpartum period.
Case report: ...
BACKGROUND:
In addition to malignant diseases, acute and chronic inflammations may elevate plasma levels of tumor markers CA 125 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes a generalized ...
Low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (LDDSE) is one of the methods most used to
assess myocardial viability. Glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) has been shown to increase
contraction of the ischemic zone. The aim of ...
The Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction
(TIMI) frame count is a simple clinical tool for assessing
quantitative indexes of coronary blood flow. This measurement
has been significantly correlated with flow velocity
measured ...
fter coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), patients with a previous
pneumonectomy are predisposed to a substantial risk of cardiopulmonary
complications. The best surgical strategy for performing CABG on
After patient ...
We report a case of an abdominal aortic embolism due to rupture of a cardiac hydatid cyst. This report emphasizes the diagnostic, preventative, and treatment options for hydatid cyst embolism of abdominal aorta. Echocardiography ...

Pericardial effusion (PE) after cardiac surgery is frequent. It is more frequently seenafter valve replacement or other types of heart surgery. Oral anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents mayinduce effusion development ...
We report an unusual clinical presentation of an acute type A aortic dissection as a left
hemothorax in a patient with a congenital pericardial defect. Although the pericardial
defect was diagnosed preoperatively, we ...
Cardiac myxoma is the most frequent primary tumor of the heart. However, it is rarely associ-ated with congenital cardiac anomalies such as atrial septal defect in the literature. We present a 72-year-oldwoman referred to ...
Hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) after liver transplantation
is a severe complication which may lead to graft infarction
and subsequent graft loss. It complicates 2–12%
of adult liver transplantations (1, 2) and subsequently ...
