Öğe Arterial myocardial revascularization using bilateral radial artery - 17 years after right pneumonectomy(Texas Heart Inst, 2004) Erdil, N; Nisanoglu, V; Toprak, HI; Erdil, FA; Kuzucu, A; Battaloglu, BWe report the case of a 51-year-old man who underwent arterial myocardial revascularization with the use of bilateral radial arteries, 17 years after undergoing a right pneumonectomy. We used a fast-track anesthesia protocol for the procedure. There was no perioperative complication, and postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient was discharged from the hospital 5 days after the operation.Öğe Complicated hydatid cysts of the lung(Elsevier Science Inc, 2004) Kuzucu, A; Soysal, Ö; Özgel, M; Yologlu, SBackground. The clinical presentation and the preoperative and postoperative complications associated with pulmonary hydatid cysts depend on whether the cyst is intact or ruptured. The aim of this study was to review the problems encountered in treating ruptured pulmonary hydatid cysts and to highlight the risks associated with chemotherapy and the delay of surgical treatment in pulmonary hydatid disease. Methods. The medical records for 67 patients of pulmonary hydatidosis were retrospectively investigated. The patients were divided into two groups based on whether the pulmonary cyst was intact (group 1, n = 34) or complicated (group 2, n = 33). A complicated cyst was defined as one that had ruptured into a bronchus or into the pleural cavity. All patients were treated surgically. Data related to symptoms, preoperative complications, surgical procedures performed, postoperative morbidity, hospitalization time, and cyst recurrence were collected from each individual's records, and the group findings were compared. Results. In most cases of intact pulmonary hydatid cysts, the lesions were either incidental findings or the patient had presented with cough, dyspnea and chest pain. In addition to these symptoms, the patients with complicated cyst had presented with problems such as expectoration of cystic contents, repetitive hemoptysis, productive sputum, and fever. The differences between the groups with respect to the rates of preoperative complications and postoperative morbidity, frequency of decortication, and hospital stay were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusions. Surgery is the primary mode of treatment for patients with pulmonary hydatid disease. Complicated cases have higher rates of preoperative and postoperative complications and require longer hospitalization time and more extensive surgical procedures than uncomplicated cases. This underlines the need for immediate surgery in any patient who is diagnosed with pulmonary hydatidosis.Öğe Dieulafoy's disease(Elsevier Science Inc, 2005) Kuzucu, A; Gürses, I; Soysal, Ö; Kutlu, R; Özgel, MDieulafoy's disease is a vascular anomaly characterized by the presence of a tortuous dysplastic artery in the submucosa. The condition was first described as a cause of gastrointestinal bleeding in the stomach. Recently, there have been a few reports of Dieulafoy's disease involving the respiratory tract. Herein, we report 2 patients with massive hemoptysis who were treated with surgical resection and later diagnosed with bronchial Dieulafoy's disease.Öğe Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma presenting with multifocal intrathoracic mass lesions associated with mediastinal shift(Elsevier Science Inc, 2006) Kuzucu, A; Erkal, HS; Soysal, Ö; Serin, MExtraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma is an uncommon disease that predominantly involves the soft tissues of the trunk or the extremities. This article presents a patient with multifocal intrathoracic mass lesions involving the mediastinum and the lingula associated with mediastinal shift, eventually diagnosed as extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma.Öğe Giant mediastinal parathyroid adenoma presenting with a hyperparathyroid crisis and leading to postoperative hungry bone syndrome(Taylor & Francis As, 2002) Kuzucu, A; Soysal, O; Savli, H[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Pathologic hepatic Tc-99m-MDP uptake in polyostotic fibrous dysplasia(Springer, 2004) Kekilli, E; Yagmur, C; Kuzucu, A; Soysal, O; Cikim, AS; Ertem, KFibrous dysplasia of bone is a congenital, sporadic developmental disorder characterized by immature fibrous connective tissue and bone deformities. Hepatic Tc-99m-MDP uptake is a rare, serendipitous finding during bone scanning studies. The present patient was a 25-year-old male who had severe polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. On Tc-99m-MDP (methylene diphosphonate) bone scintigraphy, increased activity accumulations were seen on multiple ribs, vertebrae and base of the cranium. In addition, diffuse increased pathologic uptake of Tc-99m-MDP in the liver was shown. Intravenous pamidronate was administered monthly for two months. In the third week of the last administration Tc-99m-MDP bone scintigraphy was performed again, but despite sustained bone involvement, pathologic hepatic uptake was not seen on the scan. We thought that pathologic hepatic Tc-99m-MDP accumulation, may be related to the formation and aggregation of calcium oxalate and phosphate crystals which improved with pamidromat treatment.Öğe Pleuropulmonary blastoma: report of a case presenting with spontaneous pneumothorax(Elsevier Science Bv, 2001) Kuzucu, A; Soysal, O; Yakinci, C; Aydin, NE[Abstract Not Available]Öğe An unusual cause of hemoptysis: ventriculopulmonary fistula(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2003) Kuzucu, A; Tandogan, I; Cihan, HB; Gulcan, O; Turkoz, RA 55-year-old man presented with massive hemoptysis following coronary artery bypass grafting and repair of a left ventricular aneurysm. Radiological and bronchoscopic examinations revealed no bronchial cause. The findings of computed tomography (CT) of the chest and echocardiography showed a pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle. Surgical exploration confirmed that the pseudoaneurysm communicated with the lung parenchyma.
