    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.17, No.2, pp. 193-199, 2022, DOI:10.32604/chd.2022.017721 - 26 January 2022

    Abstract The majority of patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, also known as transposition of the great arteries {S,L,L} have ventricular septal defects (VSD), most commonly perimembranous VSD (pmVSD). Transcatheter device closure of pmVSD in these patients has not been widely described. We present a case of device closure of pmVSD in L-TGA with an Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (ADOII) device using a deployment starting in the subpulmonary left ventricle. The case demonstrates some of the technical advantages of the ADOII device for VSD closure, specifically its low profile, symmetric shape, and soft More >

    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.22, No.5, pp. 7990-7994, 2015

    Abstract Introduction: The development of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) following urologic surgery is a life threatening, but largely preventable complication. Patients undergoing partial nephrectomy are at increased risk for the development of DVT or PE as they often possess multiple risk factors including malignancy, advanced age, and prolonged surgical time. This risk can be significantly reduced by administration of perioperative subcutaneous heparin (SQH), however many surgeons feel this is contraindicated due to potential blood loss and related complications.
    Materials and methods: The medical records of 293 consecutive patients undergoing planned open, laparoscopic, or robotic… More >
