A total of 135 survivors of surgical treatment for aortic dissection were followed up to 15 years after surgery. The actuarial survival rates were 82 +/- 4% at 5 years and 64 +/- 6% at 10 years. There were no significant differences between the long-term survival rates in four subgroups according to type and severity […]

Regarding long-term outcome, David's AVSRR seems to provide excellent clinical results and sustainable function of the aortic valve in the majority of patients almost 3 decades after its introduction.
Our results demonstrate that this type of aortic valve repair achieves excellent results in selected patients. Perfect coaptation of valve cusps during the repair with no or only trace aortic insufficiency at initial echocardiography seems to be essential
In this article, current figures and guidelines for heart and lung transplantation in Germany are described.
The paper describes the technique and results of the first lung transfers performed after support by ECMO
We reviewed the outcomes of 119 consecutive heart transplant patients, which were divided into two groups: A (OCS) vs. B (conventional).
At a Glance Commentary Waiting times for lung transplantation (LuTx) are constantly increasing. Endotracheal intubation in patients with end-stage lung disease before LuTx is associated with a poor outcome. New strategies of bridging critical candidates to LuTx are of major interest. What This Study Adds to the Field Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in patients who […]
