Journal ArticleDOI

Survival, Neurologic Injury, and Kidney Function after Surgery for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.

TL;DR: Treatment and prevention strategies for renal failure during the acute and long-term course after acute type A aortic dissection are warranted and preexisting renal impairment is predictive of postoperative renal failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular matrix gene expression correlates to left ventricular mass index after surgical induction of left ventricular hypertrophy.

TL;DR: A close correlation between changes in LVMI and ECM gene expression was found, suggesting Alterations in ECm gene expression may be part of the adaptive process during left ventricular remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Up-regulation of Bcl-2 through hyperbaric pressure transfection of TGF-β1 ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat cardiac allografts

TL;DR: Therapeutic overexpression of myocardial TGF-beta1 may be clinically useful to control ischemia-reperfusion injury associated with cardiac transplantation and prevent bcl-2 cleavage and increased TNF-alpha production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of metabolic liver function and hepatic blood flow during cardiopulmonary bypass.

TL;DR: A modified monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) test was performed in 14 patients undergoing myocardial revascularization to evaluate liver function during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and a decrease in MEGX formation was found during CPB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Live broadcasting in cardiac surgery does not increase the operative risk.

TL;DR: There is no evidence for an excess perioperative risk for patients operated under the conditions of live broadcasting and the rate of mitral valve repair compares favourably with repair rates presented in national registries.
