Early Morbidity and Mortality Within 30 days of hospitalization, morbidity and mortality after Bentall procedure are associated with complications stemming from cardiac arrhythmia, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, graft infection, wound infection, neurologic/ cerebrovascular accident and stroke, hemorrhage/ bleeding, myocardial infarction, pericardial effusion ...
Dr. Juan C. Parodi introduced the minimally-invasive endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) to the world and performed the first successful endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm on 7 September 1990 in Buenos Aires on a friend of Carlos Menem, the then President of Argentina. The first device was simple, according to Parodi: "It was a ...
The body responds to postoperative wounds in the same manner as it does to tissue damage acquired in other circumstances. The inflammatory response is designed to create homeostasis. This first step is called the inflammatory stage. [1] The next stage and wound healing is the infiltration of leukocytes and release of cytokines into the tissue ...
Skin grafting, a type of graft surgery, involves the transplantation of skin without a defined circulation. The transplanted tissue is called a skin graft. [1] Surgeons may use skin grafting to treat: extensive wounding or trauma; burns; areas of extensive skin loss due to infection such as necrotizing fasciitis or purpura fulminans [2]
Allografts (using bone or tissue from another body, either a cadaver or a live donor). Bridge-enhanced ACL repair (using a bio-engineered bridging scaffold injected with the patient's own blood). Synthetic tissue for ACL reconstruction has also been developed, but little data exists on its strength and reliability. [citation needed]
The particular treatment used depends on the segment or segments of the aorta involved. Some treatments are: [citation needed] Open aortic surgery with replacement of the damaged section of the aorta with a tube graft (often made of Dacron) when no damage to the aortic valve is seen
Open aortic surgery (OAS), also known as open aortic repair (OAR), describes a technique whereby an abdominal, thoracic or retroperitoneal surgical incision is used to visualize and control the aorta for purposes of treatment, usually by the replacement of the affected segment with a prosthetic graft.
Alloplasty is a surgical procedure performed to substitute and repair defects within the body with the use of synthetic material. [1] It can also be performed in order to bridge wounds . [ 1 ] The process of undergoing alloplasty involves the construction of an alloplastic graft through the use of computed tomography ( CT ), rapid prototyping ...
