Abstract

Purpose: Heart transplantation (HTx) in patients (pts) [is greater than] 60 years of age is discussed controversial due to the high postoperative morbidity and mortality. We established a new individualized [...]

36. Evaluation of transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR) by gated myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.

Abstract

TMLR is a novel treatment for patients with coronary artery disease. It comprises the creation of transmyocardial channels thought to improve myocardial perfusion. Gated Tc-99m sestamibi scintigraphy was used to evaluate changes in myocardial perfusion after TMLR. Twelve patients underwent TMLR using a carbon dioxide laser. Sestamibi scans were carried out following a standard protocol prior to and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after TMLR. Both visual and semi-quantitative assessment showed improvement in 4 patients, deterioration in 2 patients, and no change in the remaining 6 patients each. However, visual and semi-quantitative assessment were concordant in 6 patients and discordant in 6 patients. In 3 of these, semi-quantitative assessment suggested a better outcome, and in 3 patients visual assessment gave better results. Our findings in a small group of patients suggest that about a third benefited from TMLR. Gated myocardial perfusion scintigraphy using technetium-99m sestamibi is suitable for visual evaluation of changes in the lased area over time, but does not allow semi-quantitative evaluation in the patient population typically treated with TMLR. Further investigations using optimized imaging protocols, including positron emission tomography and three dimensional image presentation, are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

38. Technique of closed chest coronary artery surgery on the beating heart.

Author

Kappert, U, Cichon, R, Schneider, J, Gulielmos, V, Ahmadzade, T, Nicolai, J, Tugtekin, S M, and Schueler, S

Abstract

The application of an endoscopic stabilizer (Intuitive Surgical, Mountain View, CA, USA) enables closed chest off-pump coronary artery bypass via a four-point stab incision avoiding sternotomy and minithoracotomy.

39. Interleukin-1, interleukin-6 and myocardial enzyme response after coronary artery bypass grafting - a prospective randomized comparison of the conventional and three minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Author

Gulielmos, V, Menschikowski, M, Dill, H, Eller, M, Thiele, S, Tugtekin, S M, Jaross, W, and Schueler, S

Abstract

In order to evaluate the traumatic effects of median sternotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in conventional and minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting, inflammatory response was studied in a prospective randomized trial in patients referred to single-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting.

48. The application of the Octopus stabilizing system for the treatment of high risk patients with coronary artery disease.

Author

Kappert, U, Gulielmos, V, Knaut, M, Cichon, R, Schneider, J, and Schueler, S

Abstract

If coronary disease is the target of a minimally invasive procedure, median sternotomy or cardiopulmonary bypass or both can be avoided. Similar to the development in other fields of surgery, minimally invasive surgical techniques are gaining increased acceptance in the field of cardiothoracic surgery. Our experience with an off pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) technique in a special patients group with serious risk factors for the application of cardiopulmonary bypass has been analyzed.

49. Port Access surgery for congenital heart disease.

Author

Kappert, U, Wagner, F M, Gulielmos, V, Taha, M, Schneider, J, and Schueler, S

Abstract

Minimally invasive surgical techniques have been introduced into cardiac surgery in order to avoid median sternotomy related complications. Surgical trauma to the patient can be significantly reduced without compromising the safety. In addition, a small lateral chest incision results in improved cosmesis, especially in female patients.
