[Cardiac transplantation with bicaval anastomosis and prophylactic graft tricuspid annuloplasty].
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the effects of prophylactic heart donor tricuspid annuloplasty in patients after heart transplantation with bicaval anastomosis. METHODS From 2002 to 2005, 20 patients undergoing heart transplantation with bicaval anastomosis and with a survival rate over 6 months were deliberately selected. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I - 10 patients who...
متن کاملTricuspid valve tethering predicts residual tricuspid regurgitation after tricuspid annuloplasty.
BACKGROUND Tricuspid valve (TV) annuloplasty is recommended for functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR), which is caused by TV annulus dilatation and tethering of the leaflets. However, the impact of TV deformations on the outcome of TV annuloplasty remains unknown. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between preoperative TV deformation and residual TR after TV annuloplas...
متن کاملA one-year comparison of prophylactic donor tricuspid annuloplasty in heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND The bicaval technique for orthotopic heart transplantation decreases the incidence of tricuspid valve regurgitation when compared with the standard biatrial technique. This study was designed to study the effects of prophylactic tricuspid valve annuloplasty during bicaval orthotopic heart transplantation on survival, renal function, and amount of tricuspid valve regurgitation. METH...
متن کاملErosive Pressure Dermatitis Associated with Cardiac Pacemaker
Erosive dermatitis is a skin reaction associated with implantable cardiac devices (ie, pacemakers and cardioverter defibrillators). We report a 65-year-old man with a history of several cerebrovascular attacks who developed an erythematous crusted erosive patch over the pacemaker site after implantation of two subsequent pacemakers. We suggest that physical irritation may be a trigger factor fo...
متن کاملeComment. Adjustable tricuspid annuloplasty for functional tricuspid regurgitation.
Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is a neglected and underestimated pathology. It occurs mostly from annular dilatation and right ventricular enlargement, which is frequent secondary to left-sided heart failure from myocardial or valvular causes, right ventricular volume and pressure overload, and dilatation of the cardiac chambers. Moderate-to-severe FTR should be corrected to improve s...
