Journal ArticleDOI
Overestimation of aortic valve replacement risk by EuroSCORE: implications for percutaneous valve replacement
Brigitte R. Osswald,Vassil Gegouskov,Dominika Badowski-Zyla,Ursula Tochtermann,G. Thomas,Siegfried Hagl,Eugene H. Blackstone +6 more
TL;DR: Although the EuroSCORE still successfully stratifies patients undergoing surgical AVR relative to 30-day mortality, it has become increasingly uncalibrated with absolute risk, resulting in overestimation of 30- day mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular tracheobronchial compression syndromes-- experience in surgical treatment and literature review.
Ch. Sebening,Heinz Jakob,Ursula Tochtermann,Ruediger Lange,Christian F. Vahl,P. Bodegom,Gábor Szabó,F. Fleischer,Klaus Schmidt,E. Zilow,Wolfgang Springer,Herbert E. Ulmer,Siegfried Hagl +12 more
TL;DR: Effective decompression and re-expansion of the airway segment concerned was achieved, and was demonstrated by intraoperative endoscopy in all patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does the completeness of revascularization affect early survival after coronary artery bypass grafting in elderly patients
Brigitte R. Osswald,Eugene H. Blackstone,Ursula Tochtermann,P. Schweiger,G. Thomas,Christian F. Vahl,Siegfried Hagl +6 more
TL;DR: Incomplete revascularization increases the early risk of death after CABG in patients aged 75 years and older, and in the era of high-volume interventional approaches and minimally invasive techniques, the advantages of completeRevascularization need to be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The meaning of early mortality after CABG
Brigitte R. Osswald,Eugene H. Blackstone,Ursula Tochtermann,G. Thomas,Christian F. Vahl,Siegfried Hagl +5 more
TL;DR: The non-parametric Kaplan-Meier curve of the time interval 0-180 days postoperatively proves the persistence of the still decreasing behaviour of the survival curve beyond the 30th day until about the 60th postoperative day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central extracorporeal life support with left ventricular decompression for the treatment of refractory cardiogenic shock and lung failure.
Alexander Weymann,Alexander Weymann,Bastian Schmack,Anton Sabashnikov,Christopher T. Bowles,Philipp Raake,Rawa Arif,Markus Verch,Ursula Tochtermann,Jens Roggenbach,Aron Frederik Popov,Andre R. Simon,Matthias Karck,Arjang Ruhparwar +13 more
TL;DR: Left ventricular decompression in refractory cardiogenic shock and lung failure is strongly recommend to avoid pulmonary edema, left heart distension and facilitate myocardial recovery.
