Oscillating left atrial appendage in a massive pericardial effusion due to severe paravalvular leakage after mitral valve replacement
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017)
A 36-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital with a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) that had
occurred three days before and with progressive dyspnoea for about one week.
Evaluation of ghrelin levels and endothelial functions in patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2017)
Background: Ghrelin has recently been reported to have beneficial effects on cardiac contractile functions and coronary blood flow. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role of ghrelin in the pathogenesis ...
A rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention: Coronary pseudoaneurysm formation
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2017)
Coronary pseudoaneurysms (CPAs) are rare complications developed after percutaneous coronary interventions. They may cause stent thrombosis, distal embolization, and coronary rupture leading to cardiac tamponade. Therefore, ...
Management of an acute ischemic stroke during thrombolytic treatment in a pregnant patient with prosthetic valve thrombosis
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2017)
Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a life-threatening complication in pregnant women with mechanical prosthetic heart valves. Thrombolytic therapy (TT) has evolved as an effective treatment alternative to surgery, which ...
Complementary role of cardiac computed tomography to transesophageal echocardiography in the evaluation of prosthetic valve dysfunction
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2017)
Dear Editor,
We have read with great interest the article by Suh et al. describingtheadded value of cardiaccomputed tomography(CT) in theevaluationof pannus overgrowth on mechanical prosthetic valves[1]. Cardiac CThas a ...
Comparison of syntax score and syntax score II to predict “no reflow phenomenon” in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
(Springer Netherlands, 2017)
Even though the relationship between syntax score (SS) and coronary no-reflow phenomenon has been studied, the relation between SS and syntax score II (SS II) in patients with no-reflow phenomenon is unknown. We aimed to ...
The role of protein Z and protein Z-dependent protease ınhibitor polymorphisms in the development of prosthetic heart valve thrombosis
(2017)
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Protein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K-dependent factor that is synthesized mainly by the liver. It acts as an activator of serpin, the protein Z-dependent inhibitor (ZPI), which inhibits factor Xa. ...
Evaluation of potential long-term changes in endothelial functions and basic echocardiographic parameters in unilateral nephrectomy patients
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2017)
Aim: Decreased nephron count may result in lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and cardiorenal injury in the absence of compensatory hyperfunction. In this study, we aimed to evaluate long-term effects of 50% nephron ...
Multimodality imaging of a left ventricular aneurysm in a patient with normal coronary arteries: Unusual localization
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2017)
Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is rare but potentially fatal complication of myocardial infarction. It has been strictly defined as a distinct area of abnormal left ventricular diastolic contour with systolic dyskinesia ...
Thrombus formation in the interrupted segment of the aorta
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2017)
Interrupted aorta is a very rare heart defect in which there is a gap between the ascending and the descending thoracic aorta. It is usually associated with other cardiac anomalies, including ventricular septal defect, ...
