Psychiatric disturbances after open-heart surgery can be classified in two subgroups: first, in one group of patients with predominately delirious symptoms and second, in one group of patients which is determined by anxious paranoid symptoms.
2.
The development of postoperative anxious paranoid states is predicted by preoperative psychical and s...
Pre-clinical and clinical testing of artificial heart-valves has not been standardized. Therefore different centers have been using individual procedures. As a consequence, the results from different laboratories on different valves can be compared only after certain assumptions. In order to compare different valves under identical conditions, a pu...
A general lack of standardization of the pre-clinical testing of artificial valves leads to an actual comparison of different prosthetic models at the time of a first clinical trial, frequently with contradictory results. Therefore, a pulse duplicator was developed in order to compare different valves of comparable size under identical standardized...
Biopsies from hypertrophied left ventricles were obtained intraoperatively from patients undergoing valve replacement for aortic valve disease. The tissue was immediately fixed in glutaraldehyde and, after appropriate preparation, examined by light and electron microscopy. Morphologic characterization was carried out with respect to 1. qualitative...
Stress evaluation was carried out in 26 patients approximately 7 months after aortic valve replacement with Björk-Shiley valves (13 patients) and St. Jude medical valves (13 patients). During isoproterenol infusion (0.3 micrograms/kg/min), cardiac output increased by a factor of 1.5 and aortic valve area decreased by 50% for both valve groups, whil...
A report is given on 16 surgically treated cases of aneurysms of the ascending aorta with aortic valve insufficiency in necrosis of the median or mucoid degeneration, the so-called annulo-aortic ectasia. 11 patients showed good results of treatment after total correction of the condition. Bleeding to death and cardiac failure are the main causes of...
Die Erkennung und Behandlung von Verletzungen großer Gefäße beim polytraumatisierten Patienten hat absolute Priorität. Die
Wiederherstellung der Durchblutung innerhalb der tolerablen Ischämiezeit ist Voraussetzung für das Überleben der Patienten
bzw. der betroffenen Organe oder der Extremitäten. Der erstbehandelnde Arzt muß über ausreichende Kenntn...
Diagnosis and treatment of vascular injuries in patients with polytrauma is of primary importance. Restoration of blood flow during the time limit of tolerable ischemia is fundamental for the survival of the patient, and the injured organs or extremities. To achieve this, the first treating physician must have sufficient knowledge of diagnosing and...
In vivo testing of artificial valves is complicated by the lack of standardisation of technique in different laboratories. Furthermore a continuing variation of the most important parameters, i.e. flow and heart rate, makes it a difficult task to evaluate the hemodynamic qualities of different valves from single measurements in different patients....
The application of the intraaortic balloon counter pulsation (IABP) has become a standard therapy in patients with cardiogenic shock or in cases of low cardiac output postoperatively. Experimental results to show a reduction of the infarct size due to the IABP are contradictory (6, 9–12). The aim of this study is to find out if an acute evolving my...
In a 55-Year-old patient with mitral insufficiency (stad. II–III NYHA), additional atypical syncopal attacks are registered. The echocardiogram shows multiple signals of a tumor behind the anterior leaflet during systole of the atrium. In the cine-angiogram, a pediculate tumor moving toward the valve orifice can be detected. Resection of the tumor...
During open-heart surgery, myocardial biopsies were taken from 31 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement on total cardiopulmonary bypass. The first needle biopsy was taken before the induction of cardiac arrest (Kirsch cardioplegia), the second at the end of global ischemia, and the third during the reperfusion period. The tissue was investig...
Between December 1970 and June 1978, 833 patients were operated upon for isolated mitral valve replacement (MVR: 361 patients), isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR: 345 patients) and aortic plus mitral valve replacement (DVR: 127 patients) by use of the Björk-Shiley valve. Operative mortality for the entire series was 15%. The five year survival...
In our experience hemodialysis proved to be unsatisfactory in the treatment of acute renal failure after cardiovascular surgical intervention because of its negative influence on the often critical hemodynamic situation of the patients. In 21 cases we performed a continuous peritoneal dialysis (CPD) for 1 to 29 (mean 9.2) days by using a Tenckhoff...
Since February 1978, seventy-nine St. Jude medical prostheses have been implanted in seventy-two patients with an overall mortality of 8.5%. Clinical, hemodynamic and hematological findings are presented. Twenty-two patients have been catheterized postoperatively, and findings are presented. In vitro comparisons have made between the St. Jude and o...
Light and electron microscopic morphometry was carried out on myocardial tissue samples of 79 patients with coronary artery disease. Transmural biopsies of the myocardium perfused by the left anterior descending branch (LAD) were obtained during coronary bypass operation or aneurysmectomy. LAD-stenosis was measured and regional LAD wallmotion was d...
The specific characteristics of the SJM prosthesis are based on a new design in which there are two centrally hinged leaflets. Preclinical in vitro studies showed a favorable hemodynamic profile, causing minimal disturbance of the central flow. Therefore, starting in February, 1978, our department undertook a large-scale clinical trial of the SJM v...
Three transvenous pacemaker electrodes are presented which can be positional with a corkscrew-or a pincer mechanism. This type of fixation reduces early failure of the leads due to displacement from the right ventricular apex and also allows transvenous placement of an atrial leads. By this way permanent atrial pacing in patients with sick sinus sy...
Contraction and relaxation of the canine myocardium were examined during normothermic ischemia in an isolated heart model. Decrease in the development of tension depends on the duration of ischemia. Deficient functional recovery was observed after ischemic periods extending beyond 30 minutes, in spite of reperfusion periods of over 1 hour. A decrea...
Starting in February 1978 52 St. Jude Medical Prostheses have been implanted in 47 patients (age 13--73 years) in aortic, mitral and tricuspid positions. Perioperative death occurred in 3 cases. Post mortem examination of these patients showed unimpaired valvular function. There were no other complications in an accumulated total valve time of appr...
From December 1970 to June 1978, 833 patients were operated upon for isolated mitral valve replacement (MVR: n = 361), isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR: n = 345), and aortic plus mitral valve replacement (DVR: n = 127) by the use of the Bjork-Shiley tilting disc valve. Operative mortality for the entire series was 15%. A comparison of operati...
Report of the case of a 12 years old boy, who because of acquired mitral valve insufficiency (grades II--III), after an illness of virus-carditis, became, in the first instance, a Bjoerk-Shiley-Ventil M27 prosthetic valvular replacement, and after 3 months, in one sitting, correction of a paravalvular leakage and prosthetic valvular replacement of...
Several causes of restricted graft flow in a series of 99 patients could be identified by intraoperative measurements of aorta-coronary graft flow and poststenotic pressure. Mechanical stenosis as well as functional restriction of graft flow caused by competition between vein and native artery flow were noted in cases with a mildly stenotic artery...
The influence of controlled ischemia on myocardial ultrastructure was investigated in isolated, metabolically supported canine hearts. Recovery of functionally normal tissue as indicated by the reversibility of morphological alterations was observed up to 60 minutes of anoxia. It was shown that prolonged reperfusion of the empty beating heart suppo...
Left ventricular end-diastolic properties were evaluated with cineangiography and pressure measurements before and 6 months after aortic valve replacement with a Björk-Shiley prosthesis in 10 patients with aortic stenosis, 7 patients with mixed aortic valve disease and 7 patients with aortic insufficiency. Mean left atrial pressure, left ventricula...
Intra-operative basal graft flow measurements are of predictive value in determining the fate of aorto-coronary artery vein bypass grafts. In patients with a graft flow less than 20 ml/min at the time of operation an early closure rate of 50%-l00% was established [1-3]. Because different factors may be involved in graft closure occurring in the pe...
In an isolated dog heart preparation the influence of normothermic ischemic arrest and recovery of the ventricular function during the period of post-ischemic reperfusion were investigated. If ischemic arrest has caused a depression of ventricular function, the functional recovery of the myocardium cannot be improved significantly by a prolonged re...
Hemodynamic studies were performed in 6 normal individuals, 8 patients with severe obstruction (more than 85% stenosis) of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), 10 patients with patent LAD grafts and 4 patients with stenosed or occluded LAD grafts. All patients were suffering from stable angina before operation. Monoplane ventriculogr...
Hämodynamische Studien wurden an 6 normalen Individuen, 8 Patienten mit hochgradiger Obstruktion des Ramus descendens anterior der linken Koronararterie (LAD), 10 Patienten mit offenem aortokoronarem Bypass zum LAD und 4 Patienten mit stenosiertem oder verschlossenem aortokoronarem Bypass zum LAD, durchgeführt. Alle Patienten hatten vor Operation e...
Am Modell des isolierten Hundeherzens wurden der Einfluß einer induzierten, normothermen Ischämie auf die diastolischen und systolischen Wandeigenschaften des linken Ventrikels sowie die Rückbildung dieser Beeinträchtigung der Ventrikelfunktion in der Reperfusionsphase untersucht. Ist es durch die Ischämie zu einer deutlichen Einschränkung der Vent...
Coronary hemodynamics were studied intraoperatively in 65 patients undergoing aortocoronary bypass grafting. Poststenotic coronary pressure and graft flow hyperemia were measured. Patients without coronary collateral vessels on arteriography (class A) were compared with patients with collateral vessels (class B). Patients in class A were grouped ac...
Left ventricular angiographic studies were performed before and 6 months after aortic valve replacement with a Björk-Shiley prosthesis in 21 patients, 5 with aortic stenosis, 8 with mixed aortic valve lesions and 8 with aortic insufficiency. The degree of myocardial fibrosis and myocardial ultrastructural changes were evaluated from transmural need...
This study evaluates the tolerance to ischemia during induced cardiac arrest in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement. In all patients cardiac standstill was of 45 minutes duration. Biopsies for electron microscopic study were taken from the left ventricle before induction of arrest, at the end of the ischemic period and 20 minutes after cor...
In 29 patients with coronary artery disease the functional significance of coronary collaterals was studied during surgery for aortocoronary bypass grafting.
Poststenotic coronary pressure and postocclusion graft flow hyperemia were measured in 34 vessels receiving a coronary bypass graft. The vessels were divided into groups according to the angio...
Stumpfe Herzverletzungen treten im Gefolge von Thoraxtraumen weit häufiger auf als allgemein angenommen. Wegen bestehender Begleitverletzungen ist ihre Diagnostik oft sehr erschwert. Während leichtere Traumen auch ohne Therapie völlig ausheilen, können schwerere Formen wegen eines Hämoperikards oder wegen akuter Herzinsuffizienz (z. B. bei traumati...
Bei 68 Patienten mit einer Signifikaten LAD-Stenose wurden der Grad dieser Stenose (CAS), die Vorderwandbeweglichkeit des linken Ventrikels (AWM), der mittl. Transplantatfluß (BF) und die reaktive Hyperämie (RH %) gemessen. Patienten mit einem Blutfluß im Transplantat von unter 40 ml/Min. wurden mit solchen vergli¬chen, die einen Transplantatfluß v...
In a previous study [3] ultrastructural changes occurring in human myocardial tissue during ischemia and during reperfusion after ischemia were investigated in order to evaluate the tolerable duration of induced cardiac arrest during open-heart surgery. It was concluded that 45 min of ischemia resulted in a moderate degree of myocardial damage and...
Regional myocardial blood flow reserve was studied in 18 dogs with chronic coronary artery occlusion before and after aortocoronary bypass grafting. Changes in collateral resistance due to progressive coronary narrowing were determined in the same animal using the tracer microspheres technique. Preexisting collateral vessels had a resistance of 8,4...
The effect of an aortocoronary bypass graft on coronary hemodynamics was studied experimentally in dogs and during surgery for aortocoronary bypass grafting in man. In the experimental part of this study it was shown that coronary dilatory reserve is unaffected between 0 and 50% coronary narrowing. In the presence of more severe stenosis the dilato...
Die regionale Myokarddurchblutungsreserve wurde an 18 Hunden mit chronischem Koronarverschluß vor und nach aorto-koronarem Venen-bypass gemessen. Änderungen des Kollateralwiderstandes als Folge der progressiven Koronareinengung wurden mit der Tracer Microspheres-Technik bestimmt.
Der vor Stenose bestehende Kollateralwiderstand betrug 8,49 Widerstan...
Die Wirkung eines aorto-koronaren Venenbypass auf die koronare Hämodynamik wurde experimentell bei Hunden und intraoperativ bei Patienten untersucht.
Experimentell wurde gezeigt, daß bei einer Koronararterienstenose zwischen 0 und 50% die koronare Dilatationsreserve nicht beeinträchtigt wurde. Bei höhergradiger Stenose nimmt die Dilatationsreserve...
Needle biopsies taken from human hearts during cardiac surgery were investigated with the electron microscope. Cardiac tissue obtained before induction of ischemia was compared with tissue removed at the end of the ischemic period during total cardiopulmonary bypass with mild cardiac hypothermia and elective cardiac arrest (cardioplegia) and with t...
A report on surgical treatment of 40 patients, 39 with left ventricular aneurysm and 1 with double aneurysm in rupture stage, is presented. The general hospital lethality lies at 7.5%.

Cardiac biopsies were taken from the hearts of 40 patients undergoing open heart surgery for acquired and congenital disease. Tissue samples were taken prior to aortic cross-clamping, at the end of the ischemic period, and 20 minutes after reperfusion. Cardiac arrest was induced with Kirsch's cardioplegic solution at mild hypothermia (28-30 degrees...
During cardiopulmonary bypass surgery without coronary perfusion, most myocardial cells show ischemic lesions of the mitochondria but all other cell organelles remain unchanged. Ischemic damage to the myocardial cells caused by cardiopulmonary bypass surgery for a period of 47 minutes is reversible, since, after 20 minutes of reperfusion of the hea...
Investigations in myocardial ultrastructure before, during and after coronary bypass with induced cardiac arrest have shown significant changes of ultrastructure, especially in the mitochondria. Ischemic damage to the myocardium caused by cardiac arrest for a period of 60 min is fully reversible after a short reperfusion of the heart. Based on the...
Elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen des Myokards vor, während und nach Anwendung der extrakorporalen Zirkulation mit kardioplegischem Herzstillstand haben gezeigt, daß es zu deutlichen ischämiebedingten ultrastrukturellen Veränderungen insbesondere an den Mitochondrien kommt. Die während einer Ischämiedauer von maximal 60 Minuten zu beobachtend...
Summary The new Omnicor pacer system (Cordis) permits a change of rate and of output current at any time, before or after implantation. Since October 1973, in the Surgical Clinic of the University of Giessen we have implanted 110 Omnicor pacemakers. In all patients the output of the pacers could be distinctly reduced. Since June 1973 we have been c...
Initial clinical experiences with the Omnicor System for programmable permanent pacing in 18 patients (16 with epicardial electrodes and 2 with pervenous ones) are reported. The functional mode of the R wave synchronous and R wave inhibited pacers, as well as of the programmer, is described. The expected improvement in longevity for the pacemaker i...

A report is given on postoperative mechanical ventilation in 192 patients after open heart surgery. It is shown that prophylactic respiration in cases of valve operations is usually unnecessary. The extubation and change to spontaneous ventilation is performed when the patient is awake and addressable and is able to breathe by himself without any e...
The current status of pacemaker treatment is reported with particular reference to the operational times of impulse generators. The running time is now being extended by using isotope batteries with conventional switch electronics and also by conventional chemical battery elements combined with an improved energy saving pacemaker circuit. The devic...
The axillofemoral and femorofemoral prosthetic bypasses may be seen as little troublesome emergency interventions whereby in pelvic and abdominal aortic occlusions which can no longer be removed 'radically' loss of limbs can in some cases be prevented. Indications, surgical technique and late results from the literature and personal experience are...
Es wird über die postoperative Beatmung bei 192 Patienten nach Eingriffen am offenen Herzen berichtet. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß die routine-mäßige prophylaktische Beatmung selbst beim Klappenersatz unnötig ist. Die Extubation nach Übergang auf Spontanatmung kann erfolgen, wenn der Patient wach und ansprechbar ist und seine Atemarbeit ohne Anstrengu...
The results of the first 27 cases of endarterectomy using the Lerwick Lerotome are discussed. The new technique of oscillating endarterectomy allows an optimal reconstruction of occluded arteries with opening of the collateral vessels. Even cases of occluded tibial arteries so far considered as inoperable, can be endarterectomized successfully with...

... In case of an innominate subclavian artery, the segment of it's arterial wall was included in the aortic arch reconstruction [27]. Aortic arch reconstruction without circulatory arrest has become routine and even the entire comprehensive stage II procedure without cardiac arrest has been possible in several patients [28]. The stage II surgical reconstruction consisted of amalgamation of the proximal ascending aorta with the main pulmonary artery, removal or resection of the stented ductus, aortic arch reconstruction, atrial septectomy (removal of atrial septal stent), removal of the branch pulmonary artery bands with routine angioplasty or left pulmonary artery stenting, and bidirectional cavo-pulmonary connection. ...
... Two additional studies using perfusion of the IA proved the safety of this technique. 3,4 With the IA proximally clamped, the modification in the arterial cannula allows cerebral perfusion while the systemic circulation is momentarily stopped and, with the IA declamped, antegrade systemic perfusion before and after body circulatory arrest. We have used this technique in 5 patients with type A aortic dissection, and there were no complications related to the use of this cannula or to the cannulation site. ...
... Почечный, мозговой и интестинальный кровоток и функции улучшались или оставались неизменными при использовании пульсирующего потока во время ИК [7,35,48,49,61,69,74,102,108]. Исследования влияния пульсирующего режима на периоперационное воспаление также демонстрировали противоречивые данные: выделение медиаторов было изменено или оставалось неизменным [28,38,98,120]. Обзор публикаций о пульсирующем режиме ИК, основанный на принципах доказательной медицины, заключил, что данные являются противоречивыми и недостаточными для рекомендаций за или против пульсирующего режима для снижения летальности и осложнений [4]. Важным (хотя и косвенным) свидетельством отсутствия значимого влияния на клинические результаты пульсирующего режима ИК является большое и возрастающее с каждым годом количество пациентов с экстракорпоральной мембранной оксигенацией и системами длительной механической поддержки сердца (например, HeartMate, HeartWare) с непульсирующими насосами, которые находятся на них неделями, месяцами и даже годами. ...
