Objectives: To describe morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing the elephant trunk
(ET) implantation as the first stage in the repair of their mega aorta and to assess …

We analyzed perioperative strokes in 658 carotid endarterectomies with the purpose of
explaining the pathogenesis from the morphologic aspect of the infarct on cerebral …

We report the results of combined recording of hemodynamic and thromboembolic
phenomena during carotid endarterectomy by means of computerized …

BACKGROUND This study was performed to assess the initial results and long-term follow-
up of Morrow septal myectomy for patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy …

Electrical heating of the Alberta oil sands for the recovery of bitumen has been studied since
the early 1970's (1–5). The technology has evolved as an additional technology to SAGD …

Electrical preheating has been proposed as a method of overcoming many of the problems
inherent in using a steamdrive in very viscous oil reservoirs—such as the Athabasca oil …

Background No consistent data are available on the specific coronary artery pathology
leading to postinfarction ventricular septal rupture. The benefits and risks of coronary …

The purpose of this paper is to present the modifications to a multi-component, thermal
reservoir simulator to incorporate electrical heating equations. The results of the simulator …

Background Mean follow-up in previous studies on the effect of prosthesis–patient mismatch
on long-term survival after aortic valve replacement (AVR) is confined to a maximum of one …

Objective There is a paucity of data on long-term survival of new-onset postoperative atrial
fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery. Also, mean follow-up in previous studies is confined …
