Abstract:

Mitral valve replacement (MVR) is usually performed in two methods of running and interrupted suturing. In running method, the suturing of the valve is usually with some traction on the annulus and also there is a risk of aortic valve injury. This study was conducted to evaluate a new technique for suturing to avoid these complications and decrease the time of cardiac arrest. One hundred and seventy-seven cases undergoing isolated MVR or MVR with other valve replacements were operated by the new method and compared with 77 cases of routine method, as control group. The patients were followed up 1-4 years. In the control group, one case of mortality occurred due to heart failure. In both groups one case of late mortality was observed not related to surgical operation. No paravalvular leakage or aortic valve injury was observed. The highlights of this technique are the simplicity of operation, short period of valve implantation and aortic clamp time, which indicated 6 and 11 minutes decrease in average time, respectively. This method is recommended for all cases of rheumatic mitral valve disease, especially for those having a small atrium.

Al-Qaeda's Innovative Improvisers: Learning in a Diffuse Transnational Network

Al-Qaeda is commonly described as a highly flexible and adaptable non-state network, making it difficult for states to combat. Although these features are associated with networks in theory, they are not inherent to networks in practice, and rely largely on organisational learning. A network that fails to learn is not likely to adapt successfully. This paper explores the learning implications o...

An innovative abdominal wall repair technique for infected prosthesis: the Eskimo technique.

The use of meshes to repair incisional hernias has been shown to reduce the recurrence rate, though it may increase the risk of surgical site infection. This is one of the most feared and devastating complications of surgical abdominal wall repair. The aim of this work is to describe a new surgical technique that was used to treat two patients suffering from chronic prosthesis infection. Additi...
