Retrospective Comparative Study

<p><b>Objective:</b> The use of homografts for aortic valve replacement (AVR) is an alternative to mechanical or biological valve prostheses, especially in younger patients. This retrospective comparative study evaluated our single-center long-term results, with a focus on the different origins of the homografts.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> Since 1992, 366 adult patients have undergone AVR with homografts at our center. We compared 320 homografts of aortic origin and 46 homografts of pulmonary origin. The grafts were implanted via either a subcoronary technique or the root replacement technique. We performed a multivariate analysis to identify independent factors that influence survival. Freedom from reintervention and survival rates were calculated as cumulative events according to the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences were tested with the log-rank test.</p><p><b>Results:</b> Overall mortality within 1 year was 6.5% (21/320) in the aortic graft group and 17.4% (8/46) in the pulmonary graft group. In the pulmonary graft group, 4 patients died from valve-related complications, 1 patient died after additional heterotopic heart transplantation, and 1 patient who entered with a primary higher risk died from a prosthesis infection. Two patients died from non-valve-related causes. During the long-term follow-up, the 15-year survival rate was 79.9% for patients in the aortic graft group and 68.7% for patients in the pulmonary graft group (<i>P</i> = .049). The rate of freedom from reoperation was 77.7% in the aortic graft group and 57.4% in the pulmonary graft group (<i>P</i> < .001). The reasons for homograft explantation were graft infections (aortic graft group, 5.0%; pulmonary graft group, 6.5%) and degeneration (aortic graft group, 7.5%; pulmonary graft group, 32.6%).</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Our study demonstrated superior rates of survival and freedom from reintervention after AVR with aortic homografts. Implantation with a pulmonary graft was associated with a higher risk of redo surgery, owing to earlier degenerative alterations.</p>

The objective: to improve tactics of pregravidare training of women with hysteromyoma. Patients and methods. Under observation there were 100 patients of active and late genesial age (from 22 to 44 years), with the main diagnosis hysteromyoma established on the basis of complex inspection. To all patients the conservative myomectomy by laparotomny that laparoscopic accesses out of pregnancy was made, a course of complex rehabilitational therapy in the early and late postoperative period is conducted, the next and remote results are tracked. Results. Efficiency of pregravidarny training of patients with a hysteromyoma made 67.0%, thus authentically larger frequency of offensive of pregnancy is noted in group of the patients receiving in the postoperative period therapy by agonists of GNRG (73.0%), including at women with genesial problems (52.0%). Besides, purpose of agonists of GNRG after operation allows to reduce number of recurrence of a disease in the remote period. Conclusions. The advanced technique of pregravidarny preparation allows to improve the genesial forecast of women with hysteromyoma. Key words: hysteromyoma, pregravidarny preparation, optimization.

PURPOSE: To compare analgesia traditionally used for thoracic sympathectomy to intrapleural ropivacaine injection in two different doses. METHODS: Twenty-four patients were divided into three similar groups, and all of them received intravenous dipyrone. Group A received intravenous tramadol and intrapleural injection of saline solution. Group B received intrapleural injection of 0.33% ropivacaine, and Group C 0.5% ropivacaine. The following aspects were analyzed: inspiratory capacity, respiratory rate and pain. Pain was evaluated in the immediate postoperative period by means of the visual analog scale and over a one-week period. RESULTS: In Groups A and B, reduced inspiratory capacity was observed in the postoperative period. In the first postoperative 12 hours, only 12.5% of the patients in Groups B and C showed intense pain as compared to 25% in Group A. In the subsequent week, only one patient in Group A showed mild pain while the remainder reported intense pain. In Group B, half of the patients showed intense pain, and in Group C, only one presented intense pain. CONCLUSION: Intrapleural analgesia with ropivacaine resulted in less pain in the late postoperative period with better analgesic outcomes in higher doses, providing a better ventilatory pattern.

Ct Studies

The purpose of the research was to determine morphological and urodynamic changes of supravesical urinary tract in patients after cystileoplastics. Methods. CT studies in the late postoperative period in 19 patients after radical cystectomy, combined with vesiculoprostatectomy and cystoileoplastics and malignant lesions of the bladder were performed. Results. None of cases revealed signs of continued growth. In 57% of the cases it was evidence of lymphadenopathy in the absence of negative dynamics of the underlying disease. No dependence of the state of anastomoses of the volume formed by the reservoir and the degree of shortening of the ureter was found. In assessing the state of supravesical urinary tract 11 from 19 (57,8%) patients were registered varying degrees of severity gidroureteronephrosis, and in 4 patients, pelvic ureteric reflux. All patients with urodynamic disorders identified "new bladder" had less volume than patients who did not have these disorders. Conclusion. CT study is the method of choice in the evaluation of supravesical urinary tract after cystoileoplastics for timely prevention of complications of an inflammatory process. It was revealed that the degree of changes in the urinary tract depending of the volume of the reservoir formed, requires further analysis.
