aortic aneurysm/albumin

Aortic dilatation due to inflammation may lead to an increase in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. We investigated the possible relationship between CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and presence and progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). The study included 150 patients previously diagnosed with

The causes of abdominal aortic aneurysm are still poorly understood. The author studied the permeability of the aneurysm wall or the aortic wall in 21 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm or aorto-iliac bypass by comparing 125I-albumin tissue concentrations; The results suggest that albumin

The effects of hetastarch and human albumin solutions on perioperative bleeding and coagulation parameters during abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were compared. In two randomized groups of 20 patients, albumin 5% (group 1) or hetastarch 6% (group 2) 1 g/kg was given during surgery. The remaining

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of (99m)Tc-human serum albumin diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid ((99m)Tc-HSAD) SPECT in the detection of endoleaks after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. METHODS Fifteen patients (11 men, four women) with aneurysm sac

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) remains a fatal disease. Its development encompasses a complex interplay between hemodynamic stimuli on and changes in the arterial wall. Currently available biomarkers fail to predict the risk of AAA rupture independent of aneurysm size. Therefore, novel biomarkers

The role of CD18 antibody (anti-CD18) in remote and local injury in a model of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repair was investigated. Rats were divided into sham, shock, clamp, and shock + clamp groups. Shock + clamp animals received anti-CD18 or a control monoclonal antibody. One hour of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the magnitude and cause of metabolic acidosis after infusion of 7.5% sodium chloride 6% dextran 70. METHODS Randomized, prospective clinical study. METHODS University hospital. METHODS Two groups of 14 patients each, undergoing repair of abdominal aortic

OBJECTIVE This study assessed if emergency endovascular repair (eEVR) reduces the increase in intra-abdominal compartment pressure and host inflammatory response in patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). METHODS Thirty patients with ruptured AAA were prospectively recruited.

Recent advances in the operative management of aortic aneurysms have resulted in a decreased rate of morbidity and mortality. In 1972, we hypothesized that a further reduction in operative mortality might be obtained with controlled perioperative fluid management based on data provided by the

OBJECTIVE Identification of biomarkers for the natural history of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) holds the key to non-surgical intervention and improved selection for AAA repair. We aimed to associate the basic proteomic composition of AAA wall tissue with the expansion rate and size in patients

We describe the anesthetic management in a 56-year old man with hepatocellular carcinoma and cirrhosis who underwent liver transplantation (LT). Pretransplantation workup showed a 3-cm wide by 10-cm long infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with chronic dissection. He subsequently underwent

BACKGROUND Vascular inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and is thought to involve reactive species such as the nitric oxide-derived oxidant peroxynitrite. In the present study nitrotyrosine was measured as a stable marker of

Introduction. Systemic effects of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) may be altered by the mode of surgery. This study aimed to determine systemic effects of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) compared to open repair (OR). Patients and Methods. Consecutive patients with rAAA were repaired by

The effects of mannitol on renal impairment following infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair were studied. Patients received either mannitol 0.3 g/kg (n = 15) or saline (n = 13) as a rapid intravenous infusion before aortic cross-clamping. One patient in the control group developed fatal postoperative
