However, only a few reports are available for 20-year long-term survivors after liver transplantation. In Korea, the first successful deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) in a 13-year-old Wilson's disease patient was performed in 1988, and the first successful living ...

Twenty Year Trends of Survival after In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.

BACKGROUND In 2006, the Israeli Ministry of Health distributed guidelines for improving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) knowledge among hospital staff. The impact of these guidelines on survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is unclear. OBJECTIVES To compare rates of incidence and survival to discharge after IHCA, preceding and subsequent to issuance of the guidelines: 1995-2005...

Twenty-five year outcomes following composite graft aortic root replacement.

BACKGROUND Operative choices for aortic root disease include traditional root replacement with a composite valved graft as well as various valve-sparing and root repair procedures. OBJECTIVES To report our experience with traditional composite graft aortic root replacement by a single surgeon over a 25-year period in 449 patients, focusing on long-term survival and freedom from late reoperati...
