... Aortoduodenal fistula is a rare complication associated with an abdominal aortic aneurysm and severe atherosclerosis [1], when it is considered to be primary, due to the spontaneous formation of a communication between the lumen of an aortic aneurysm and the duodenum [1]. ...

... şekilli ven bası uygulayıcı cihaz kullanımı ile özellikle 2mm'den küçük çapa sahip fistüllerde daha yüksek açık kalım oranları saptamışlardır(23). Bizim çalışmamızda ise ven dilatasyonu intraluminal hidrostatik basınç etkisi ile sağlandı ve bu şekilde ven dilatasyonu sağlanan hastaların 1. ayın sonunda daha yüksek oranda açık kaldığı görüldü. ...

... Studies have shown that RDW has a positive correlation with inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [35]. There are also several other studies showing that preoperative RDW is strongly related to surgical outcomes in cardiac surgery [36]. PLR increases with the inflammatory process and is used to predict the outcomes and independent mortality in cardiovascular diseases [37]. ...

... Since our two patients does not have an autologous vein for bypass surgery, which long-term patency is better than PTFE grafts [9] , we decided to perform a central venous bypass using PTFE graft, after a multidisciplinary staff with our cardiac surgeons and nephrologists colleagues. ...

... 13 Some modifications of the Robicsek technique are still the gold standard in high-risk patients. 14,15 The Robiscek technique is often used to strengthen the sternum during primary sternal closure, where the sternotomy crosses the medial line and results in a thin and weak sternum on one side, or where the bone fracture has occurred and is also used as the first line of sternal reconstruction after primary closure dehiscence. 15,16 In patients with an increased risk of sternal instability and wound infection following cardiac surgery, 17 sternal strengthening using the Robicsec technique is performed before primary sternal closure to not reduce the dehiscence rate. ...

... Of these, in 1 case two were deleted and in 4 -one first-order chord. Nevertheless, being of the opinion that the preserved chordal-papillary apparatus of MK leads to an improvement in myocardial function, it is necessary to completely save the leaflet with subvalvular apparatus [13][14]. The duration of cardiopulmonary bypass was on average 84.7±29.8 ...

... The researchers concluded that vitamin C use, both on its own and in conjunction with other therapies, may mitigate POAF in individuals experiencing cardiac surgery, and it ought to be advised to patients to minimize the risk of POAF. Also, there is a direct correlation between the physiological effects of vitamin E and C. Ingesting supplements with 2 g of vitamin C and 600 mg of vitamin E significantly augmented endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in the radial circulation in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD)(129). On the other hand, resveratrol is a nonflavonoid stilbenoid that has a wide range of therapeutic advantages, notably antioxidant and antineuroprotective, vasorelaxant, and cardioprotective activities(130). ...

... A reduction in postoperative FEV 1 and FVC among all patients after cardiac surgery including those who used incentive spirometry or deep breathing exercises has been reported previously. This is likely linked to the loss of pleural integrity during cardiac surgery (Uzun et al., 2013). Secondary atelectasis due to lack of postoperative efforts for coughing or deep breathing or related to the left lower lobe injury caused by lung retraction during surgery is also another precipitating factor (Huffmyer & Groves, 2015). ...

... Neutrophilia is responsible for increasing the value of the ratio, being the result of various pathophysiological processes that contribute to the maintenance of the pro-inflammatory status in PAD [51]. Taşoglu et al. [52] showed that the presence of an NLR value above 3.2 and a PLR above 160 are associated with a high risk of amputation, with the average duration being about 2 years to date. ...

... [2] The other suggested mechanisms of acute failure are as follows: operator-related failure resulting from inadequate experience (learning curve), inaccurate placement, inadequate defect rim to hold the device, tearing of the interatrial septum, at the lower rim of the ASD during catheter, particularly, and device manipulation. [3] According to Boysan et al. [4] coughing may be an interesting reason for device embolization. ...
