	The Ross operation: a Trojan horse? - European Heart Journal, 08/15/07 Klieverik, L.M.A., et al. - The Ross operation is the operation of choice for children who require aortic valve replacement (AVR) and may also provide a good option in selected adult patients...Conclusion: Although survival of the Rotterdam autograft cohort is excellent, over time a worrisome increase in reoperation rate is observed. Given the progressive autograft dilatation, careful follow-up of these patients is warranted in the second decade after operation [more...] Blood Glucose Control by a Model Predictive Control Algorithm with Variable Sampling Rate Versus a Routine Glucose Management Protocol in Cardiac Surgery Patients - Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 08/14/07 Hovorka, R., et al. - Elevated blood glucose levels occur frequently in the critically ill. Tight glucose control by intensive insulin treatment markedly improves clinical outcome...Conclusions: Compared with RMP, the eMPC algorithm was more effective and comparably safe in maintaining euglycemia in cardiac surgery patients [more...]] Delayed Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysms After Left Ventricular Aneurysm Repairs With the CorRestore Patch - Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 08/13/07 Karas, T.Z., et al. - We present two cases of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm that developed after left ventricular aneurysm repair with the CorRestore patch. Both patients underwent subsequent pseudoaneurysm repair with Dacron patches. We discuss the physiologic limitations of the CorRestore patch and the causes of pseudoaneurysms that arise after left ventricular aneurysm repair [more...]]
