Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of the copolymeric polylactide stent. Long-term follow-up in a rabbit aorta model.
Eeva-Maija Hietala,Ulla-Stina Salminen,Anders Ståhls,Tero Välimaa,Paula Maasilta,Pertti Törmälä,Markku S. Nieminen,Ari Harjula +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the PLA96 stent degraded with minimal tissue response within 24 months, and may be a promising stent core material for small vessels in the future, although further investigation is needed to establish its final biocompatibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reperfusion injury associated with one-fourth of deaths after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Saara M Weman,Pekka J. Karhunen,Pekka J. Karhunen,Antti Penttilä,Antero Järvinen,Ulla-Stina Salminen +5 more
TL;DR: Reperfusion injury was observed in one fourth of the deaths in association with MI and occurred more often in patients with preoperative NYHA III symptoms and in those in whom endarterectomy was carried out, indicating the lethal nature of this complication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Zero-Heat-Flux Deep Body Temperature Measurement in Lower Extremity Vascular and Cardiac Surgery
Marja Tellervo Mäkinen,Anne Pesonen,Irma Jousela,Janne Päivärinta,Satu Poikajärvi,Anders Albäck,Ulla-Stina Salminen,Eero Pesonen +7 more
TL;DR: According to this preliminary study, the deep body temperature measured using the zero-heat-flux system was in good agreement with standard core temperatures during lower extremity vascular and cardiac surgery, however, agreement was questionable during hypothermia below 32°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-mortem cast angiography in the diagnostics of graft complications in patients with fatal outcome following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
TL;DR: The post-mortem angiographic technique, yielding a permanent rubber- cast model of the graft and anastomosis site, improves the accuracy of diagnostics of postoperative CABG complications and eases postoperative autopsy dissection, which can now be directed to confirm suspected complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multimodality treatment programs for malignant pleural mesothelioma using high-dose hemithorax irradiation
Karin Mattson,L. R. Holsti,L. Tammilehto,Paula Maasilta,Seppo Pyrhönen,M. Mäntylä,Mikael Kajanti,Ulla-Stina Salminen,J. Rautonen,Leena Kivisaari +9 more
TL;DR: The median survival time was slightly increased from 8 to 12 months for those patients who completed the protocol treatments, but progressive disease was the invariable outcome, and data relating to therapeutic responses and treatment programs in malignant mesothelioma should be better correlated internationally.
