The Anaortic Technique with Bilateral Internal Thoracic Artery Grafting - Filli...
Gomes,Walter J.; Gomes,Eduardo N.; Bertini Jr,Ayrton; Reis,Pedro H.; Hossne Jr,Nelson A.Abstract Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has consolidated its role as the most effective procedure for treating patients with advanced atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, reducing the long-term risk of myocardial infarction and death compared to other therapies and relieving angina. Despite the recognized benefits afforded by surgical myocardial revascularization, a subset of higher-risk patients be...
COVID-19 in the Perioperative Period of Cardiovascular Surgery: the Brazilian E...
Gomes,Walter J.; Rocco,Isadora; Pimentel,Wallace S.; Pinheiro,Aislan H. B.; Souza,Paulo M. S.; Costa,Luiz A. A.; Teixeira,Marjory M. P.Abstract Introduction: We investigated the clinical course and outcomes of patients submitted to cardiovascular surgery in Brazil and who had developed symptoms/signs of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the perioperative period. Methods: A retrospective multicenter study including 104 patients who were allocated in three groups according to time of positive real time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain...
Hemodynamic Changes During Heart Displacement in Aorta No-Touch Off-Pump Corona...
Carvalho,Alexandre R.; Guizilini,Solange; Murai,Gustavo M.; Begot,Isis; Rocco,Isadora S.; Hossne Jr,Nelson A.; Chamlian,Eduardo G.Abstract Objective: To evaluate the sequential changes of hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in patients who underwent aorta no-touch off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB). Methods: Prospective study involving twenty-seven consecutive patients who underwent aorta no-touch OPCAB. The FloTrac/PreSep/Vigileo™ system (Edwards Lifesciences) was used to continuously record heart rate (HR), mean arterial b...
Early Open-Lung Ventilation Improves Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Left Ca...
Bolzan,Douglas W.; Gomes,Walter José; Rocco,Isadora S.; Viceconte,Marcela; Nasrala,Mara L. S.; Pauletti,Hayanne O.; Moreira,Rita Simone L.Abstract Objective: To compare pulmonary function, functional capacity and clinical outcomes amongst three groups of patients with left ventricular dysfunction following off-pump coronary artery bypass, namely: 1) conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV); 2) late open lung strategy (L-OLS); and 3) early open lung strategy (E-OLS). Methods: Sixty-one patients were randomized into 3 groups: 1) CMV (n=21); 2) L-O...
Experimental Study and Early Clinical Application Of a Sutureless Aortic Biopro...
Gomes,Walter J.; Leal,João Carlos; Jatene,Fabio Biscegli; Hossne Jr,Nelson A.; Gabaldi,Renata; Frazzato,Glaucia Basso; Agreli,GuilhermeABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: The conventional aortic valve replacement is the treatment of choice for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Transcatheter technique is a viable alternative with promising results for inoperable patients. Sutureless bioprostheses have shown benefits in high-risk patients, such as reduction of aortic clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass, decreasing risks and adverse effects. OBJECTIVE: The ...
Coronary artery and myocardial inflammatory reaction induced by intracoronary s...
Gomes,Walter J.; Giannotti Filho,Osvaldo; Catani,Roberto; Paez,Rodrigo P.; Hossne Jr,Nelson A.; Buffolo,EnioBACKGROUND: Intra-coronary stents have been extensively employed in percutaneous coronary revascularization. However, despite breakthroughs and developments associated to this new technology, novel complications and findings have emerged compelling the cardiac surgeon to cope with this new scenario. The presence of an intra-coronary foreign body (stent) might induce an inflammatory reaction carrying functional ...
