HVDC PLUS – Basics and Principle of Operation

Concomitant Bentall operation plus aortic arch replacement surgery.

BACKGROUND The Bentall operation is recommended for thoracic aortic dissection or aneurysm involving the aortic root. However, if the lesion extends to the aortic arch, concomitant Bentall operation plus aortic arch replacement (CoBAAR) surgery is required. CoBAAR is challenging because of its complex cardiopulmonary procedure, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, and demanding operative tech...

Type-A acute aortic dissection: combined operation plus stent management.

When the port of entry of acute type-A aortic dissection is at the level of the horizontal portion of the aortic arch, the latter should be replaced by a prosthesis. To avoid performing this difficult procedure in an emergency situation, we place a stent in the aortic arch. Then we replace the ascending aorta by a prosthesis.

Delorme's operation plus sphincteroplasty for complete rectal prolapse associated with traumatic fecal incontinence

Rectal prolapse associated with traumatic fecal incontinence is a rare clinical combination. This study was designed to assess Delorme's operation with sphincteroplasty as a surgical management of this combination in terms of recurrence and improvement of fecal incontinence. In this prospective study, we enrolled patients suffering from short, full-thickness rectal prolapse associated with trau...

When four plus four is less than eight: the Nuss operation.

In the course of the operation one or more (up to three) 2 Â 12 00 metal bars are driven through both pleural cavities and the mediastinum in front of the heart and may be left there for years. It is labeled as a 'Minimally invasive technique for the correction of pectus excavatum' [1]. The article, 'Can absorbable stabilizers be used routinely in the Nuss procedure?', by Pilegaard and Licht pu...
