Defining severity of adhesions during redo cardiac surgery using Preoperative Computed Tomography scans and impact on surgical approach
Results In the study, 58 patients had preoperative CT scans and 34 patients did not. Preoperative CT scans identified 36 patients with moderate adhesions and 22 patients with severe adhesions. 13 out of 36 patients (33%) with moderate adhesions on CT scans had moderate adhesions during surgery. 16 out of 22 patients (73%) with severe adhesions on CT scans had severe adhesions during surgery. No...
متن کاملPreoperative detection of pleural adhesions by respiratory dynamic computed tomography
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) plays an important role in thoracic surgery because it is less invasive. However, the existence of severe pleural adhesions may make VATS difficult and complicated. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of inspiration and expiration computed tomography (respiratory dynamic CT (RD-CT)) in evaluation of pleural adhesions preoperatively. ...
متن کاملCongenital Hypofibrinogenemia Detected during Preoperative Workup for Major Cardiac Surgery
Afibrinogenemia or hypofibrinogenemia is a quantitative defect in fibrinogen. It is a rare disease with estimated frequency of 1 in 1,000,000 population. Routine preoperative screening tests of coagulation disorders are insufficient to detect subtle disorders of fibrinogen. Herein, we report a child who was supposed to undergo open cardiac surgery for a large atrial septal defect. Preoperative ...
متن کاملFeasibility of Merging Sacroiliac Fusion Computed Tomography Preoperative Planning to Original Computed Tomography Scans
Background: Spinal merging has been done with preoperative CT scans merged with fluoroscopic imaging. However, preoperative and intraoperative CT scans have not been merged for the purposes of transferring a plan. If spine surgeons can create the optimal surgical pathway before surgery and then merge the pre-planned pathway onto the real patient CT scan in the operating room, the result will be...
