1. Outcome and risk factors after aortic valve interventions
Sammanfattning : In the present study the long-term survival and morbidity and the associated risk factors after aortic valve replacement (AVR) and after aortic balloon valvuloplasty were evaluated. In a cohort of 2,359 consecutive patients undergoing primary aortic valve replacement, the early mortality was 5.6%. LÄS MER
2. Atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery : an analysis of risk factors, mechanisms, and survival effects
Sammanfattning : Background: Despite the recent improvements in surgical techniques and postoperative patient care, atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most frequent complication after cardiac surgery. Although postoperative AF is often regarded as a benign clinical condition, this arrhythmia has significant adverse effects on patient recovery and postoperative survival. LÄS MER
3. Thoracic Aortic Surgery : Epidemiology, Outcomes, and Prevention of Cerebral Complications
Sammanfattning : The mortality of thoracic aortic diseases (mainly aneurysms and dissections) is high, even with surgical treatment. Epidemiology and long-term outcomes are incompletely investigated. Stroke is a major complication contributing to mortality, morbidity, and possibly to reduced quality of life. LÄS MER
4. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Risk Assessment and Clinical Outcome
Sammanfattning : Abstract Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a treatment for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and high surgical risk. To date, reports of short- and mid-term survival have been favourable. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate early safety, risk assessment and late survival following TAVI. LÄS MER
5. Surgical treatment in chronic aortic regurgitation : Timing, results, prognosis and left ventricular function
Sammanfattning : Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) of varying degree affects 13% of men and 8.5% of women. In persons with severe AR, the expected length of life and its quality are influenced. LÄS MER
