Single-Dose Cold Modified Bretschneider Solution for Myocardial Protection in the Surgical Treatment of Patients with Aortic Valve Stenosis and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Left ventricular hypertrophy in aortic valve stenosis: friend or foe?

Concentric remodelling (reduction of the diameter/thickness ratio) and hypertrophy (increase of massdleft ventricular hypertrophy; LVH) have been classically interpreted as the physiological mechanisms used by the left ventricle to compensate for chronic pressure overload. At the cellular level, increasing the number of contractile elements improves contractile force. At the organ level, a thic...

Influence of myocardial fibrosis on left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis.

AIM It was the aim of our study to determine whether myocardial fibrosis influences physiologic or non-physiologic left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in severe aortic stenosis. METHODS Myocardial fibrosis was evaluated using specimens taken from the ventricular septum in 79 patients submitted to aortic valve replacement because of symptomatic aortic stenosis. Patients were considered to have p...

Surgical treatment for patients with tracheal and subgllotic stenosis

  Abstract   Background: Iatrogenic airway injury after endotracheal intubation and tracheotomy   remains a serious clinical problem. In this study we reviewed post-intubation and traumatic tracheal stenosis in 47 patients with a special attention to the cause, hense surgical treatment of the stenosis was performed and the results compared with the literatures.   Methods: Since February 1995 th...
