Wilhelm,Rami Sommerstein,Yvonne Achermann,Jaap ten Oever,Sylvia B. Debast,Maurice J H M Wolfhagen,George J Brandon Bravo Bruinsma,Margreet C. Vos,Ad J.J.C.

TL;DR: Clinical aspects and treatment course of Mycobacterium chimaera infections subsequent to open-heart surgery and outcome is poor despite long-term antimycobacterial therapy, probably because biofilm formation hinders eradication of pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
10 Years of Emergency Endovascular Aneurysm Repair for Ruptured Abdominal Aortoiliac Aneurysms : Lessons Learned
Dieter Mayer,Thomas Pfammatter,Zoran Rancic,Lukas Hechelhammer,Markus J. Wilhelm,Frank J. Veith,Mario Lachat +6 more
TL;DR: Endografting proved to be safe with a 30-day mortality of 13%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left ventricular pressure and volume unloading during pulsatile versus nonpulsatile left ventricular assist device support
Stefan Klotz,Mario C. Deng,Joerg Stypmann,Juergen Roetker,Markus J. Wilhelm,Dieter Hammel,Hans H. Scheld,Christof Schmid +7 more
TL;DR: Left ventricular pressure unloading is similar in patients with nonpulsatile LVADs as compared with pulsatile implantable long-term assist devices, and LV volume unloading decreased between day 60 and 120 in patientsWith nonpulse LVADS, while postoperative transplant mortality was comparable in both groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aortic no-touch technique makes the difference in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Maximilian Y. Emmert,Burkhardt Seifert,Markus J. Wilhelm,Jürg Grünenfelder,Volkmar Falk,Sacha P. Salzberg +5 more
TL;DR: The results confirm that OPCAB is superior with regard to risk-adjusted outcomes and whenever a proximal anastomosis is needed, a no-touch technique should be applied, that is, using the HS device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term outcome following heart transplantation: current perspective
TL;DR: Therapy with current mechanical circulatory support devices is associated with improving outcome and may become competitive to heart transplantation, at least in selected patients, but long-term results are not yet available.
