Mycophenolate mofetil use is associated with prolonged graft survival after kidney transplantation.
BACKGROUND Mycophenolate mofetil has replaced azathioprine in many transplant centers, but data on hard outcomes such as graft and patient survival are lacking. METHODS We analyzed graft and patient survival of the 1219 first renal allograft recipients at the Medical University of Vienna who were treated with azathioprine or mycophenolate mofetil over the past decade. Cox's proportional hazar...
متن کاملSerum Soluble Semaphorin 4D is Associated with Left Atrial Diameter in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum soluble semaphorin 4D (sSema4D) in patients with atrial fibrillation and to investigate the relationship of serum sSema4D with left atrial diameter (LAD). MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied a total of 113 patients who were subdivided into paroxysmal and non-paroxysmal (included persistent and permanent) atrial fibrillation groups, respec...
متن کاملProlonged survival with left atrial spindle cell sarcoma.
Primary spindle cell sarcoma of the left atrium is a rare tumour. Optimal treatment is to obtain complete surgical clearance of the tumour. The anatomic location of the tumour, infiltration into vital structures and difficult access provides a surgical challenge for resection of the lesion and reconstruction of the defect. The prognosis of patients with a primary cardiac sarcoma is very poor be...
متن کاملRenal transplantation is not associated with regression of left ventricular hypertrophy: a magnetic resonance study.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRD) have an increased risk of premature cardiovascular (CV) disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for CV events and death in ESRD. Renal transplantation has been associated with reduction in CV risk and echocardiographic regression of left ventricular hypertrophy. However, echocardiography overestim...
متن کاملREGRESSION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY AFTER SUCCESSFUL RENAL TRANSPLANTATION AMONG UREMIC PATIENTS
Recognition of the natural history and responsible leading factors for regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation are very important. The aim of this study was to assess the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation among uremic patients. In this study 27 uremic patients (18 males and 9 females) with an average a...
