► Assessment Of The Radial Artery And Hand Circulation By Computed Tomography Angiography: A Pilot Study. Doç.Dr.Ömer Faruk DOGAN, Kalp ve Damar Cerrahı

Dogan OF, Karcaaltincaba M, Duman U, Akata D, Besim A, Boke E. Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Hacettepe University Medical Faculty, Sihhiye, Ankara, Turkey. ofdogan@hacettepe.edu.tr OBJECTIVES: The radial artery (RA) is increasingly being used as a coronary bypass graft. Results of a previous study using Doppler ultrasound and histopathologic examinations indicated that the RA has a higher incidence of preexisting intimal hyperplasia, medial calcification, and atherosclerosis than the internal thoracic artery. The aims of this study were to evaluate the use of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) to display hand collateral circulation, to define the criteria for an abnormal CTA ... »»»

► Predictive Significance Of Plasma Levels Of İnterleukin-6 And High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein İn Atrial Fibrillation After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery. Doç.Dr.Ömer Faruk DOGAN, Kalp ve Damar Cerrahı

BACKGROUND: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) plays a major role in the determination of hemodynamic deterioration and can be associated with cardiovascular events after coronary artery surgery. Elevated interleukin (IL)-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with AF suggest a role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of AF. We conducted a study to investigate the correlation between postoperative AF and IL-6 and high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-nine patients with a mean age of 60.3 +/- 10.7 years were enrolled in this study. Preoperative and postoperative first day blood samples were collected to assess the IL-6 and hsCRP levels. IL-6 levels were mea... »»»

► The Changes And Effects Of The Plasma Levels Of Tumor Necrosis Factor After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass. Doç.Dr.Ömer Faruk DOGAN, Kalp ve Damar Cerrahı

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Izmir Sifa Hospital, Istanbul. Abacilar F, Dogan OF, Duman U, Ucar I, Demircin M, Ersoy U, Dogan R, Boke E. Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Izmir Sifa Hospital, Istanbul. BACKGROUND: Systemic inflammatory response after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is thought to result from contact of cellular and humoral blood components with the synthetic material of the extracorporeal circulation system, leukocyte and endothelial activation caused by ischemia and reperfusion or endotoxins, or by surgical trauma. Proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8, play an important role in the inflammatory process... »»»
