Homemade expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene flexible mitral annuloplasty ring.
A homemade mitral annular prosthesis has been developed using expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene material. It is safe in that it avoids the risk of prosthesis wrinkle when stitches are tied. Simultaneously, it is strong enough to prevent future stretching and rupture. This device has been implanted in 60 patients with good and stable results at 42 months of follow-up. Our flexible mitral annular ...
متن کاملSurgical outcomes after superior vena cava reconstruction with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts.
OBJECTIVES Graft occlusion is a problem after superior vena cava (SVC) reconstruction for thoracic malignancy. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is considered to be an optimal material for venous reconstruction. METHODS We reviewed the hospital records of 13 patients who underwent complete resection of thoracic malignancy invading the SVC, including SVC reconstruction with ePTFE grafts...
متن کاملApplication of Ion-beam Implanted Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene to Microvascular Decompression and the Surgical Outcome
Accurate and long-term transposition of offending vessels is required in microvascular decompression (MVD) for the treatment of hemifacial spasm (HFS) and trigeminal neuralgia (TN). We created ion-beam implanted of an expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene (i-ePTFE) surface to transpose offending vessels in MVD. In 13 patients with MVD, we concealed and transposed offending vessels with tape-shaped i...
متن کاملSafety and Efficacy of Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Implants in the Surgical Management of Traumatic Nasal Deformity.
IMPORTANCE The ideal alloplastic implant for correction of traumatic nasal deformity has not been adequately examined. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the safety profile and postoperative results of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) implants used in functional nasal surgery (FNS) in the setting of traumatic nasal deformity. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We conducted a 13-year retrospective...
متن کاملRegeneration of standardized mandibular bone defects using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane and various bone fillers.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the new bone formation and biodegradability of various bone fillers placed underneath a nonresorbable membrane (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene [e-PTFE]) in standardized defects in a beagle dog model. Mandibular premolars and first molars were extracted bilaterally in six adult female beagle dogs. Three months after the extractions, six rectangular def...
