Lacunar Infarct Presenting Like Axillary Nerve Lesion: A Case Report (P6.250)
Conclusion: Our case was thought like an axillary nerve lession primarily as a result of history and physical examination. But after the tests our diagnosis was an infarct. We can’t find affected only proximal upper extremities like axillary nerve lesion in the literature. We want to point to lacuner infarct that can be presented like peripheral nerve lesion.Disclosure: Dr. Oz has nothing to disclose. Dr. Tasdemir has nothing to disclose.

Follow-up outcomes of hybrid procedures for thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies with special focus on graft patency and late mortality
Conclusions: A hybrid procedure for thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies in high-risk patient is feasible but carries a significant rate of early and midterm reintervention and death. Long-term surveillance of the visceral bypass is necessary because one-third of the patients will have bypass-related complications.

A specialized post anaesthetic care unit improves fast-track management in cardiac surgery: a prospective randomized trial
IntroductionFast-track treatment in cardiac surgery has become the global standard of care. We compared the efficacy and safety of a specialised post-anaesthetic care unit (PACU) to a conventional intensive care unit (ICU) in achieving defined fast-track end-points in adult patients after elective cardiac surgery. Methods: In a prospective, single blinded, randomized study, 200 adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), valve surgery or combined CABG and valve surgery), were selected to receive their postoperative treatment either in the ICU (n?=?100), or in the PACU (n?=?100)....

Changes in Volumetric Hemodynamic Parameters Induced by Fluid Removal on Hemodialysis in Critically Ill Patients
Abstract Management of volume status is difficult in critically ill patients with renal failure. Volumetric hemodynamic indices are increasingly being used to guide fluid therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU), but are not established to monitor hemodialysis‐induced fluid removal in critically ill patients. Using volumetric hemodynamic monitoring, changes in extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) were measured immediately before and after hemodialysis sessions in 35 ICU patients. Additional hemodynamic and oxygenation related parameters were recorded at the same time, and on...

A 20-Year Experience With Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair
We report our 20-year experience with this therapy. Methods: Four hundred twenty patients (mean age = 69.0 years; 54% male) underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (1993–2013), predominantly for fusiform aneurysm (n = 144), saccular aneurysm (n = 94), acute (n = 64) or chronic (n = 36) dissection, or traumatic injury (n = 39). Rupture was present in 80 patients (19.1%). Most patients (78.3%) were at high risk for open repair. Mean aortic diameter was 5.5 cm. Extent of repair included arch in 218 patients, total descending aorta in 193 patients, and thoracoabdominal aorta in 35 patients. Results: Thirty-day mortalit...

126 * extra-anatomic revascularisation for distal occlusion of the left or right common carotid artery in acute type a aortic dissection with cerebral malperfusion
Conclusion: Extra-anatomic bypass for distal LCCA or RCCA occlusion presents a valuable bail-out technique to restore cerebral perfusion during AADA repair, potentially reducing the increased incidence of neurological complications in patients with cerebral malperfusion.

210 * contemporary approach of thoraco-abdominal aortic repair using moderate to deep hypothermia combined with target reconstruction of the adamkiewicz artery
Conclusion: Moderate to deep hypothermia combined with target reconstruction of the Adamkiewicz artery brings satisfactory outcomes in thoraco-abdominal aortic repair, especially for spinal cord protection.

Results of “elephant trunk” total aortic arch replacement using a multi-branched, collared graft prosthesis
We report on our experience with a simplified elephant trunk (ET) procedure with a multi-branched prosthesis (Vascutek® Siena™ Collared Graft). It consists of a proximal portion (20 cm) with prefabricated side branches, a collar and a distal portion (30 cm). The collar, which can be trimmed into any desired diameter, constitutes the suture portion to the descending aorta. Radiopaque markers in the distal portion indicate the landing zone. Between January 2011 and June 2013, 20 consecutive patients (10 women; mean age, 66 ± 9.3 years) underwent ET procedure, including 6 re-do cases. Underlying aortic diseases were ...

Does concomitant tricuspid annuloplasty increase perioperative mortality and morbidity when correcting left-sided valve disease?
In conclusion, there is good evidence to support that tricuspid annuloplasty is a low-risk procedure and concomitant TV repair does not significantly increase the perioperative mortality and morbidity when correcting left-sided valve disease.

Propensity Adjusted Analysis of Open and Endovascular Thoracic Aortic Repair for Chronic Type B Dissection: A Twenty-Year Evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: Intervention for CBAD can be performed with excellent results, either by an open or endovascular approach. The higher rate of treatment failure after TEVAR warrants modification of current device design or endovascular approach before broad application of this treatment strategy.

Evolution in the Management of Aberrant Subclavian Arteries and Related Kommerell Diverticulum
Conclusions Aberrant subclavian arteries and associated Kommerell diverticulum can be treated with acceptable rates of mortality and morbidity. The evolution toward an endovascular approach did not appear to affect late outcomes, suggesting that the choice of treatment should be based on patient-specific anatomy and associated comorbidities.
