Acute thrombosis of bioprosthetic mitral valve 27 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
We report a case of acute thrombosis of bioprosthetic mitral valve in a 59 year--old Korean female, who underwent a mitral valve replacement with a 25 mm Carpentier - Edwards PERIMOUNT Plus bioprosthe...
Hydrogen ion concentration and coronary artery bypass graft surgery with and without cardiopulmonary bypass 20 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Acidosis during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been related to the strong ion difference (SID) and the composition of intravascular fluids that are administered. Less intravascular fluid...
Assessment of a novel, capsid-modified adenovirus with an improved vascular gene transfer profile 9 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Cardiovascular disorders, including coronary artery bypass graft failure and in-stent restenosis remain significant opportunities for the advancement of novel therapeutics that target neoi...
Bone cement-enhanced sternal closure technique in cardiac surgery: effects on sternal union, pain and life quality 7 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Median sternotomy provides excellent access to all mediastinal structures in patients undergoing conventional cardiovascular surgery. Although this incision technique is associated with re...
Well-circumscribed type of intramuscular lipoma in the chest wall 6 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
A tumor shadow was identified in the chest X-ray of a 40-year-old Korean man and he was referred to our hospital. The computed tomographic (CT) scan of his chest showed a 3-cm rounded pleural-based ma...

Results of surgery for chronic pulmonary Aspergillosis, optimal antifungal therapy and proposed high risk factors for recurrence - a National Centre's... 5 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Surgery for pulmonary aspergillosis is infrequent and often challenging. Risk assessment is imprecise and new antifungals may ameliorate some surgical risks. We evaluated the medical and s...
The effect of the time interval between coronary angiography and on-pump cardiac surgery on risk of postoperative acute kidney injury: a meta-analysis 3 Aug 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Reports of the association between the time interval from coronary angiography (CAG) to cardiac surgery and risk of postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) are controversial. We attempted ...
Development of a predictive model for major adverse cardiac events in a coronary artery bypass and valve population 30 Jul 2013 | 05:00 am
Background: Quality improvement initiatives in cardiac surgery largely rely on risk prediction models. Most often, these models include isolated populations and describe isolated end-points. However, ...
Potential biomarkers for predicting outcomes in CABG cardiothoracic surgeries 18 Jul 2013 | 05:00 am
The variations in recovery time, complications, and survival among cardiac patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures are vast. Many formulas and theories are used to p...
