The field of medicine is constantly evolving, with new procedures and technologies emerging that improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times. As these innovations advance, the materials that make them possible become increasingly important. One such group of materials, fluoropolymers, is proving to be essential for a variety of cutting-edge medical procedures. Known for their exceptional ...
Patient was referred for CABG, but refused open heart surgery. This was an LAD/ D1, Medina 1.1.1 bifurcation. Access was femoral. ...
You've probably heard amazing stories of surgeons performing successful, yet extremely delicate and risky procedures such as open-heart surgery, separation of conjoined twins, craniotomy, thoracic aortic dissection repair, oesophagectom, spinal osteomyelitis surgery, and many more. ...
Other endpoints included technical success, device and procedural success, as well as other observational endpoints measuring heart function, heart failure symptoms and changes in quality of life. ...
The high variability in the required operating room (OR) time of open heart surgeries with approximately four and a half hours average overall duration is the main challenge in managing OR utilisation. We evaluate, with a discrete-event simulation model, how three different process changes – a four-day OR week, better accuracy in OR time forecasting and having ...
