Indications, Results and Mortality of Pulmonary Artery Banding Procedure: a Brief Review and Five- year Experiences
Background Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) is a technique of palliative surgical therapy used by congenital heart surgeons as a staged approach to operative correction of congenital heart defects. Materials and Methods We report 5- year experiences from January 2011 to January 2016 of Imam Reza Hospital center (a tertiary referral hospital in Mashhad city, North East of Iran) that consist of 50 ...
متن کاملTroponin T predicts in-hospital and 1-year mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism.
We aimed to determine the prognostic value of troponin T (TNT) for in-hospital and 1-yr mortality in a large sample of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients presenting at the emergency department of a tertiary care centre from January 1998 to December 2006 with PE were included. A blood sample was taken at the time of presentation. To determine in-hospital and 1-yr mortality, data fro...
متن کاملPost-procedural N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide predicts one-year mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
INTRODUCTION Natriuretic peptides are ubiquitously used for diagnosis, follow-up and prognostic assessment in various heart conditions. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) correlates with aortic stenosis severity, however its significance after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is not well established. AIM We aimed to assess the prognostic value of NT-proBNP at o...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Pulmonary Arteries Pulsatility Index in Fontan Circulation
BACKGROUND Late complications after Fontan procedure may be due to the absence of pump and pulsatile pulmonary blood flow in this type of palliation. Our aim was to quantify the degree of pulsation by echocardiographic method in patients with extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection (ECTCPC) in comparison with biventricular circulation and few cases of pulsatile Fontan. METHODS In a case s...
متن کاملNew social adaptability index predicts overall mortality
INTRODUCTION Definitions of underprivileged status based on race, gender and geographic location are neither sensitive nor specific; instead we proposed and validated a composite index of social adaptability (SAI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Index of social adaptability was calculated based on employment, education, income, marital status, and substance abuse, each factor contributing from 0 to 3 p...
