Ventriküler septal defektler transkateter tedavide kapatılması gereken bir defekt olarak görülmektedir. Son yıllarda yeni cihazların bulunması ile birçok merkezde ventriküler septal defektlerin perkütan kapatılması cesaretlendiren sonuçlarla uygulanmaktadır. Amplatzer oklüder sistemlerin son yıllarda kullanılmaya başlaması ile birlikte implantasyon sayılarında artma olmuştur. Bunun yanısıra, mü...

Septal reduction therapy is accepted as a first therapeutic option for symptomatic drug-resistant hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Although, surgical septal myectomy is the gold standard method, alcohol septal ablation is a well-studied alternative approach in the patients with suitable anatomy. Endocardial septal ablation (ESA) therapy was relatively new defined modality and out...

Abnormal interventricular septal motion, with pre-ejection posterior motion and anterior motion away from the posterior left ventricular wall during ejection, was demonstrated by echocardiography in 14 out of 17 cases with complete left bundle branch block (LBBB). Two of 14 cases had intermittent LBBB and showed abnormal septal motion only during LBBB. Of the control group of 49 patients withou...

L acerations or tears of the interatrial septum are a recognized complication of mitral valve replacement surgery; however, the first report of iatrogenic Lutembacher's syndrome was by Dr. John Ross Jr. and colleagues from the National Institutes of Health.1 Their series included three patients who had acquired mitral stenosis and developed a persistent atrial septal defect after transatrial se...

RATIONALE Iatrogenic atrial septal defects caused by cardiac surgery are rare complications that are traditionally repaired through reoperations; unfortunately, reoperations are accompanied by high risk and trauma. PATIENT CONCERNS Herein, we report a rare case of a huge atrial septal defect after mitral and aortic mechanical valve replacement. DIAGNOSES Transesophageal echocardiography rev...

OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in mucociliary clearance, histologic characteristics, and surface structure of the bilateral nasal septal mucosa in patients with nasal septal deviation. DESIGN Mucociliary transport was measured by saccharin clearance time in both nasal cavities of 20 patients with nasal septal deviation. Their septal mucosae were taken during septoplasty, and the ciliary...

Like animals and plants, multicellular fungi possess cell-to-cell channels (septal pores) that allow intercellular communication and transport. Here, using a combination of MS of Woronin body-associated proteins and a bioinformatics approach that identifies related proteins based on composition and character, we identify 17 septal pore-associated (SPA) proteins that localize to the septal pore ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: botulinum toxin a (bta) is a promising therapeutic option in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (ar). although recent studies have introduced bta septal injection as an alternative method, the conventional localization for the injection of bta in patients with ar is still the nasal turbinates. this study was designed to compare the effec...

Atrial septal defect closure is now routinely performed using a percutaneous approach under echocardiographic guidance. Centrally located, secundum defects are ideal for device closure but there is considerable morphological variation in size and location of the defects. A small proportion of atrial septal defects may have multiple fenestrations and these are often considered unsuitable for dev...
