Journal ArticleDOI
Failure to prevent progressive dilation of ascending aorta by aortic valve replacement in patients with bicuspid aortic valve: comparison with tricuspid aortic valve.
Hisayo Yasuda,Satoshi Nakatani,Marie Stugaard,Yuko Tsujita-Kuroda,Ko Bando,Junjiro Kobayashi,Masakazu Yamagishi,Masafumi Kitakaze,Soichiro Kitamura,Kunio Miyatake +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that aortic dilation in BAV patients tended to be faster than that in TAV patients, although a significant difference was found only at the proximal aorta, which seems mainly due to the fragility of theAortic wall rather than hemodynamic factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leukocyte depletion ameliorates free radical- mediated lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass
Ko Bando,Ravi Pillai,Duke E. Cameron,J. Brawn,Jerry A. Winkelstein,Grover M. Hutchins,Bruce A. Reitz,William A. Baumgartner +7 more
TL;DR: Depletion of circulating leukocytes contributes to lung injury during cardiopulmonary bypass and is associated with increased oxygen radical activity, pulmonary edema, and vasoconstriction and Pulmonary function after bypass was better preserved in leukocyte-depleted animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Cox maze procedure on outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation and mitral valve disease.
Ko Bando,Junjiro Kobayashi,Yoshio Kosakai,Mitsuhiro Hirata,Yoshikado Sasako,Satoshi Nakatani,Toshikatsu Yagihara,Soichiro Kitamura +7 more
TL;DR: Elimination of atrial fibrillation significantly decreased the incidence of late stroke and the addition of the Cox maze procedure to mitral valve repair and replacement was safe and effective for selected patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of time-dependent risks for infection, rejection, and death after pulmonary transplantation.
Ko Bando,Irvin L. Paradis,Kanshi Komatsu,Hiroaki Konishi,Masato Matsushima,Robert J. Keenan,Robert L. Hardesty,John M. Armitage,Bartley P. Griffith +8 more
TL;DR: The hazard for death, infection, and rejection after pulmonary transplantation appears biphasic, and prevention of cytomegalovirus disease should improve survival by decreasing the prevalence of infection and rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary hypertension after operations for congenital heart disease: Analysis of risk factors and management
Ko Bando,Mark W. Turrentine,Thomas G. Sharp,Yasuo Sekine,Thomas X. Aufiero,Kyung Sun,Eri Sekine,John W. Brown +7 more
TL;DR: Mixed venous saturation monitoring and alpha-receptor blockade reduced the incidence of pulmonary hypertension after operations for congenital heart disease and early definitive repair reduced morbidity and mortality from postoperative pulmonary hypertension.
