... Theoretically, the relative hypoxemia induced by low partial pressure of inhaled oxygen that occurs with rising elevation could increase PVR and therefore increase the risk of Fontan failure [4,24,25]. As a result, it has become routine at some centers practicing at higher altitudes (including our own which sits at around 1604 m above sea-level) to place fenestrations in nearly all patients undergoing the procedure [26,27]. To date, there have been no prospective studies directly comparing outcomes between fenestrated and non-fenestrated patients at altitude. ...
... It is suggested that limiting the processes involved in general anesthesia such as induction, orotracheal intubation, and positive pressure ventilation can lead to better hemodynamic stability and minimize the use of vasopressors and inotropes post operatively. 12 Complications involving the aorta, AV annulus, or LV are rare. Aortic dissection after TAVI is rare, occurring at the rate of <2%, and can involve any segment of the aorta. ...
... muscles rupture and postoperative negative left ventricular remodeling could increase the risk of recurrent mitral regurgitation. [11][12][13][14] We designed and tested an innovative device characterized by a ring portion to reshape the annulus and by an intraventricular segment for leaflet or artificial chordae anchoring. It is conceived to overcome technical complexity of chordal length estimation, papillary muscle exposure, and suturing, because artificial chordae are anchored to a fixed structure. ...
... Several authors used an extended end-to-end anastomosis and had good results with low frequency of reCoAo. [16][17][18] Worth noting, all authors suggest that left thoracotomy approach and extended end-to-end anastomosis are good choice at z-score value −6 and more. 17 This strategy expects the growth of the proximal aortic arch after the distal obstruction has been removed. ...

The plasticity of human PVAT depots in response to thermogenic stimuli is unknown, but a recent study based on autopsies of Siberian adults indicated that almost one half the individuals assessed exhibited multilocular adipocytes, paucilocular adipocytes, and UCP1 expression in mediastinal peri-aortic PVAT (Efremova et al., 2020). ...
... A nivel molecular, los preadipocitos y adipocitos blancos de diferentes regiones y cultivados en condiciones idénticas, conservan diferencias distintivas en los patrones de expresión génica; incluso después de muchas generaciones en platos de cultivo los adipocitos viscerales son diferentes a los subcutáneos 22 22 . Los autores de este artículo encontraron que los adipocitos periaórticos a nivel del tórax tienden a ser metabólicamente más activos en relación con los subcutáneos 23 . De hecho, en la medida que las personas aumentan el peso corporal la característica energética de estas células adiposas se va reduciendo 24 . ...
... ecocardiograma transesofágico intraoperatorio juega un rol importante en la identificación de los pacientes en riesgo y en establecer el diagnóstico temprano seguido de una inmediata intervención quirúrgica. (1), (7) Muchas técnicas de reparo han sido descritas para reparar la ruptura del ventrículo izquierdo incluyendo el uso de la técnica de sándwich (8) , técnica de translocación parcial (9) , pericardio bovino y sutura continua (3), (10) , pericardio bovino y otro tipo de sellante diferente al usado en nuestro caso y soportado con balón de contra pulsación (11) , pero de manera general, estas técnicas se pueden clasificar en abordaje interno y abordaje externo. El abordaje interno incluye el cierre directo de la lesión con suturas reforzadas o con parche que cubre la lesión fijado al endocardio intacto del ventrículo y la aurícula a través del anillo, luego de haber retirado la prótesis valvular (6) . ...
... El papel mecánico de la HTA en la formación de los AAA, parece obvio, sin embargo, estudios realizados sobre ellos han dado resultados contradictorio, en varios trabajos publicados posteriormente con un grupo control, la prevalencia de aneurisma abdominal fue similar en los hipertensos y en los normotensos. (13) Actualmente está establecido que el tratamiento de elección para el aneurisma de aorta infrarrenal es la cirugía de reconstrucción aórtica, los esfuerzos están encaminados a la detección precoz y reparación que claramente disminuyen la mortalidad de esta enfermedad. ...
... 19 Mortality in our report (7.4%) was lower than that observed in other studies, in which it is reported to range from 14 to 53%. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Discharge due to patient improvement in 72.4% of our population can be explained by the fact that the hospital where the study took place is a highly specialized center with broad experience in the detection and management of these cases. ...
