Journal ArticleDOI
INR self-management following mechanical heart valve replacement.
TL;DR: All patients for whom anticoagulation is indicated are candidates for INR self-management regardless of education level, and the results differed slightly between patient groups with different levels of education.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term results of simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and myocardial revascularization with cardiopulmonary bypass used for both procedures.
Kazutomo Minami,Kazuaki Fukahara,Dietmar Boethig,Andreas Bairaktaris,Dirk Fritzsche,Reiner Koerfer +5 more
TL;DR: It is believed that simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and myocardial revascularization in conjunction with cardiopulmonary bypass is a method safe enough to prefer its routine use with acceptable low operative risk and satisfactory long-term morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
International normalized ratio self-management lowers the risk of thromboembolic events after prosthetic heart valve replacement.
Thomas Eitz,Soren Schenk,Dirk Fritzsche,Andreas Bairaktaris,Otto Wagner,Heinrich Koertke,Reiner Koerfer +6 more
TL;DR: Current indications of prosthetic rather than biologic valve implantations may be extended if the benefit of INR self-management is shown by future studies with longer follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhaled Nitric Oxide Plus Iloprost in the Setting of Post-Left Assist Device Right Heart Dysfunction
Theofani Antoniou,Christos Prokakis,Georgios Athanasopoulos,Apostolos Thanopoulos,Panagiota Rellia,D. Zarkalis,Nektarios Kogerakis,Efstratios Koletsis,Andreas Bairaktaris +8 more
TL;DR: Combination treatment with inhaled NO and iloprost sufficiently decreased PVR and MPAP on the basis of an additive effect, improved RV function, and avoided the need for RV assist device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute fulminant myocarditis in children and adolescents: the role of mechanical circulatory assist.
TL;DR: In children or adolescents with irreversible shock in fulminant myocarditis with an anticipated mortality of 100%, both successful bridged to heart transplantation and successful bridging to recovery are possible.
