Surgical intervention for acute myocardial ischemia.

Appropriate timing of surgical intervention after transmural acute myocardial infarction.

OBJECTIVE Recommended timing of coronary revascularization after transmural acute myocardial infarction ranges from immediate surgical intervention to repair 4 weeks after infarction. Such wide variation has created a dilemma in the management of these patients. The objective of this study was to delineate the optimal timing of revascularization after transmural acute myocardial infarction in a...

Myocardial Ischemia as an Indication for Surgical Intervention in Sinus Valsalva Aneurysm.

A surgical approach to acute mesenteric ischemia

Bowel ischemia may arise from a number of causes affecting the arterial and venous compartments of the mesenteric circulation. The rapid onset of acute mesenteric ischemia and the potential rapidity with which bowel infarction may occur explain the lethality of this disease. This review addresses the causes and consequences of arterial obstruction, focusing on the acute phenomenon of mesenteric...

Spatial organization of acute myocardial ischemia.

INTRODUCTION Myocardial ischemia is a pathological condition initiated by supply and demand imbalance of the blood to the heart. Previous studies suggest that ischemia originates in the subendocardium, i.e., that nontransmural ischemia is limited to the subendocardium. By contrast, we hypothesized that acute myocardial ischemia is not limited to the subendocardium and sought to document its spa...
