A 44-year-old female presented with prosthetic valve endocarditis with periannular abscess involving the left coronary ostium. We describe cryopreserved aortic homograft root replacement with hemi-Cabrol reimplantation of the left coronary ostium using the long saphenous vein.

Since usage of Multichannel-Cochlear Implants (=CI) a lot research-efforts has been put into to improve technology implants. Various reasons can result reimplantation. In this case old models will be exchanged latest generation The question arises whether newest give more benefit for users.

We investigated whether pulmonary surfactant in rat lung transplants recovered during the first week post-transplantation, along with symptoms of the reimplantation response, and whether this recovery was affected by early surfactant treatment. The severity of pulmonary injury was varied by transplanting left lungs with 6-h and 20-h ischemia (n = 12 and 19, respectively). Half of the transplant...

BACKGROUND The approach to treat device infection in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) is a challenging procedure. Optimal treatment is complete extraction of the infected device. To protect these patients from sudden cardiac arrest while waiting for reimplantation and to avoid recurrent infection, a wearable ca...

2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA Revision of the glenoid component in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) remains an unresolved problem. Even with meticulous surgical technique, available bone stock may preclude the implantation of a new glenoid component. Multiple studies have demonstrated that patients in whom a new glenoid can be placed have improved pain...

PURPOSE to assess the results of the Lich-Gregoire procedure in the treatment of primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). MATERIALS AND METHODS In a 2.5-year period, 141 children with primary VUR underwent a vesicoureteral reimplantation using the Lich-Gregoire procedure in 101 patients (158 ureters) and the Cohen procedure in 48 patients (68 ureters). Patients were evaluated retrospectively in a...

BACKGROUND Enamel matrix-derived proteins (Emdogain) stimulate the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells, contributing to their regeneration. AIM This study was to perform histometric assessment of root surface resorption in replanted teeth with the use of Emdogain®. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), weighing 180 to 200 gm, were anesthetized, subjected to ext...
