Median Sternotomy - Gold Standard Incision for Cardiac Surgeons
J Clin Invest Surg. 2016; 1(1): 33-40 doi: 10.25083/2559.5555.11.3340 Technique Median sternotomy - gold standard incision for cardiac surgeons Radu Matache1,2, Mihai Dumitrescu2, Andrei Bobocea2, Ioan Cordoș1,2 1Carol Davila University, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Bucharest, Romania 2Marius Nasta Clinical Hospital, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Bucharest, Romania Abstract Sternotomy is the gold standard incision for cardiac surgeons but it is also used in thoracic surgery especially for mediastinal, tracheal and main stem bronchus surgery. The surgical technique is well established and identification of the correct anatomic landmarks, midline tissue preparation, osteotomy and bleeding control are important steps of the procedure. Correct sternal closure is vital for avoiding short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. The two sternal halves have to be well approximated to facilitate healing of the bone and to avoid instability, which is a risk factor for wound infection. New suture materials and techniques would be expected to be developed to further improve the patients evolution, in respect to both immediate postoperative period and long-term morbidity and mortality Keywords: median sternotomy, cardiac surgeons, thoracic surgery, technique Acne conglobata is a rare, severe form of acne vulgaris characterized by the presence of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and sometimes hematic or meliceric crusts, located on the face, trunk, neck, arms and buttocks.Correspondence should be addressed to: Mihai Dumitrescu; e-mail: [email protected] Case Report We report the case of a 16 year old Caucasian female patient from the urban area who addressed our dermatology department for erythematous, edematous plaques covered by pustules and crusts, located on the Radu Matache et al. -
Overview of Partial Left Ventriculectomy
Prepared by ASERNIP-S NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR CLINICAL EXCELLENCE INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES PROGRAMME Interventional procedure overview of Partial Left Ventriculectomy Introduction This overview has been prepared to assist members of IPAC advise on the safety and efficacy of an interventional procedure previously reviewed by SERNIP. It is based on a rapid survey of published literature, review of the procedure by specialist advisors and review of the content of the SERNIP file. It should not be regarded as a definitive assessment of the procedure. Procedure name Partial Left Ventriculectomy The Batista Procedure Specialty society Society of Cardiothoracic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland Executive Summary Left partial ventriculectomy (PLV) seeks to treat dilated cardiomyopathy by reducing cardiac volume and hence heart wall pressure through the resection of a portion of the left ventricle. Patients receiving it are generally suitable for cardiac transplant but unable to receive it, often for social or economic reasons. PLV is an emerging procedure and the vast majority of evidence is case series, although there has been one retrospective comparative study of PLV and transplantation. Hospital mortality was reported for up to 30% of patients and overall mortality was around 40% of patients. Thirty day survival ranged from 50% to 99%, and no significant difference was found between PLV and transplant. One-year survival ranged from 46% to 80% and three- year survival was reported in one study as 60%. Event-free survival was reported as 80% at 30 days, 49% at 1 year and 26% at three years. Use of a left ventricular assist device or relisting for cardiac surgery was reported in one study at between 5% and 15% of patients at 30 days and in 43% at 1 year and 58% at 3 years. -

Arterial Switch Operation Surgery Surgical Solutions to Complex Problems
Pediatric Cardiovascular Arterial Switch Operation Surgery Surgical Solutions to Complex Problems Tom R. Karl, MS, MD The arterial switch operation is appropriate treatment for most forms of transposition of Andrew Cochrane, FRACS the great arteries. In this review we analyze indications, techniques, and outcome for Christian P.R. Brizard, MD various subsets of patients with transposition of the great arteries, including those with an intact septum beyond 21 days of age, intramural coronary arteries, aortic arch ob- struction, the Taussig-Bing anomaly, discordant (corrected) transposition, transposition of the great arteries with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and univentricular hearts with transposition of the great arteries and subaortic stenosis. (Tex Heart Inst J 1997;24:322-33) T ransposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a prototypical lesion for pediat- ric cardiac surgeons, a lethal malformation that can often be converted (with a single operation) to a nearly normal heart. The arterial switch operation (ASO) has evolved to become the treatment of choice for most forms of TGA, and success with this operation has become a standard by which pediatric cardiac surgical units are judged. This is appropriate, because without expertise in neonatal anesthetic management, perfusion, intensive care, cardiology, and surgery, consistently good results are impossible to achieve. Surgical Anatomy of TGA In the broad sense, the term "TGA" describes any heart with a discordant ven- triculoatrial (VA) connection (aorta from right ventricle, pulmonary artery from left ventricle). The anatomic diagnosis is further defined by the intracardiac fea- tures. Most frequently, TGA is used to describe the solitus/concordant/discordant heart. -

Pasquinucci Heart Hospital, 305, Via Aurelia Sud, loc. Montepepe, Massa, MS 54100, Italy. Email: [email protected]. Background: This study reports the single center experience on minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR), performed through a right anterior minithoracotomy or ministernotomy (MS). Methods: Eight hundred and fifty-three patients, who underwent MIAVR from 2002 to 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. Survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox multivariable proportional hazards regression model was developed to identify independent predictors of follow-up mortality. Results: Median age was 73.8, and 405 (47.5%) of patients were female. The overall 30-day mortality was 1.9%. Four hundred and forty-three (51.9%) and 368 (43.1%) patients received biological and sutureless prostheses, respectively. Median cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamping time were 108 and 75 minutes, respectively. Nineteen (2.2%) cases required conversion to full median sternotomy. Thirty- seven (4.3%) patients required re-exploration for bleeding. Perioperative stroke occurred in 15 (1.8%) patients, while transient ischemic attack occurred postoperative in 11 (1.3%). New onset atrial fibrillation was reported for 243 (28.5%) patients. After a median follow-up of 29.1 months (2,676.0 patient-years), survival rates at 1 and 5 years were 96%±1% and 80%±3%, respectively. -

ICD-9-CM Procedures (FY10)
2 PREFACE This sixth edition of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is being published by the United States Government in recognition of its responsibility to promulgate this classification throughout the United States for morbidity coding. The International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, published by the World Health Organization (WHO) is the foundation of the ICD-9-CM and continues to be the classification employed in cause-of-death coding in the United States. The ICD-9-CM is completely comparable with the ICD-9. The WHO Collaborating Center for Classification of Diseases in North America serves as liaison between the international obligations for comparable classifications and the national health data needs of the United States. The ICD-9-CM is recommended for use in all clinical settings but is required for reporting diagnoses and diseases to all U.S. Public Health Service and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (formerly the Health Care Financing Administration) programs. Guidance in the use of this classification can be found in the section "Guidance in the Use of ICD-9-CM." ICD-9-CM extensions, interpretations, modifications, addenda, or errata other than those approved by the U.S. Public Health Service and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are not to be considered official and should not be utilized. Continuous maintenance of the ICD-9- CM is the responsibility of the Federal Government. However, because the ICD-9-CM represents the best in contemporary thinking of clinicians, nosologists, epidemiologists, and statisticians from both public and private sectors, no future modifications will be considered without extensive advice from the appropriate representatives of all major users.
