Yayın Cardiac tamponade caused by intrapericardial organized hematoma as a late complication of open heart surgery: magnetic resonance imaging(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2010) Aydın, A.; Yılmazer, Mustafa Serdar; Gurol, Tayfur; Dagdeviren, Bahadir[Abstract Not Available]Yayın Interaction between Cardioverter Defibrillator and Enhanced External Counterpulsation Device(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013) Celik, Omer; Aydin, Alper; Yilmazer, Mustafa S.; Sarigul, Nedim U.; Gurol, Tayfun; Dagdeviren, BahadirBackground Potential interference between implanted cardiac devices and other medical instruments is an important concern. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the possible device interaction between implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and external enhanced counterpulsation (EECP) treatment. Methods Twenty-one patients with an implanted ICD or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D) were enrolled into the study. EECP had applied as two sessions of 5 minutes. Data from device interrogations before and after the first EECP session and during second EECP session were recorded and analyzed for signs of possible device interaction. Results There was no sign of inappropriate sensing or noise during EECP session. There was no difference regarding electrode impedance, pacing, and sensing values before and after EECP. There was a statistically significant difference regarding heart rates during EECP therapy between rate response off and on modes (68.69 +/- 5.92 beats/min and 90.32 +/- 11.05 beats/min, respectively P = 0,001). In four patients with CRT-D and unipolar left ventricular pacing, counterpulsation could not be done because of QRS sensing problems. Conclusions EECP seems to be a safe treatment modality in patients with implanted ICD and CRT-D devices. It should be kept in mind that in those patients with CRT-D, rate responsive mode is on; inappropriate sinus tachycardia can be seen during EECP therapy. Also in patients with CRT-D using a unipolar sensing mode, problems of QRS complex sensing by the EECP may occur and, therefore, this effects synchronization and success of EECP therapy.Yayın The morphologic and functional features of LAD myocardial bridging at multi detector computed tomography coronary angiography: correlation with coronary artery disease(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015) Aydin, Alper; Cubuk, Rahmi; Atasoy, Mehmet Mahir; Gurol, Tayfun; Soylu, Ozer; Dagdeviren, BahadirObjectives: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the morphologic and functional features of myocardial bridging (MB) and to investigate the impact of morphologic features on presence of atherosclerosis with multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography. Study design: The study population consisted of 191 consecutive patients. Besides coronary lesions, morphologic features of the MB (depth, length and the distance of the tunneled artery from the left coronary ostium) were analyzed. Results: MDCT detected MB on left anterior descending artery in 41 patients (21.5%). The prevalence of atherosclerotic plaques proximal to the MB of LAD was 49% (20/41). There was a statistically significant correlation between percentage of systolic compression and depth of the tunneled segment (r=0.538, p<0.01). There was no relation between distance of the tunneled segment from the ostium and degree of systolic compression. No significant correlation was found between percentage of systolic compression and length of the tunneled segment (r=0.058, p=0.721). Morphologic features of MB were not related to the presence of CAD in proximal segments. Conclusion: MDCT coronary angiography depicts the morphologic and functional features of the MB in detail. The depth of MB segment was correlated with systolic compression of MB. There was no relationship between distance of the tunneled segment from the ostium and systolic compression.Yayın Non-invasive evaluation of the coronary venous system in patients with chronic systolic heart failure by 64-detector computed tomography(ROYAL SOC MEDICINE PRESS LTD, 2011) Cubuk, Rahmi; Aydin, Alper; Tasali, Nuni; Yilmazer, Serdar; Celik, Levent; Dagdeviren, Bahadir; Guney, SefikBackground: Imaging coronary venous systems to guide transcatheter cardiac interventions are becoming increasingly important, particularly in heart failure patients who are selected for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Failure of left ventricular (LV) lead placement during the procedure has been attributed to the inability to insert catheters into the coronary sinus and the lack of suitable side branches. Purpose: To comparatively assess the value of a 64-detector MDCT examination in visualizing the cardiac veins and evaluating the morphological characteristics of the coronary venous system in patients with and without chronic systolic heart failure (SHF). Material and Methods: A 64-detector MDCT examination of the heart was performed in 26 consecutive patients (five women, 21 men; mean age 57.80 +/- 12.05 years; range 27-81 years) with chronic SHF. The morphological characteristics of the coronary venous system, such as the diameter, the distances between the venous tributaries, the angle and the tortuosity, were evaluated. The group was compared with a subgroup of 52 subjects without SHF (LV ejection fraction >40%) matched for age, sex, and the risk factors for coronary artery disease. Results: The coronary sinus (CS), great cardiac vein (GCV), anterior interventricular vein (AIV), and posterior interventricular vein (PIV) were visualized in all 78 individuals. The posterior vein of the left ventricle (PVLV) (63/78), left marginal vein (LMV) (72/78), and the small cardiac vein (SCV) (50/78) were visualized in SHF and control patients (p = NS). The lengths between venous tributaries were higher (p > 0.05) and more dilated (P < 0.001 for CS, GCV, AIV, PVLV, LMV; p = 0.001 for PIV) in the cases with SHF compared with the control population. The angle between the CS-GCV axis and the venous branches was wider (p = 0.02 for LMV and Ply, p = 0.001 for PVLV) and did not have any correlation with the LV diameter in cases with SHF. There was no difference between the SHF and control groups in terms of the tortuosity of PVLV and LMV (p = NS). Conclusion: The study demonstrated an increase in the diameters, lengths, and angulations with the CS-GCV axis of the coronary veins in cases with SHF. A 64-detector MDCT is a feasible tool for non-invasive evaluation of the coronary venous system and may provide considerable information regarding numbers and morphology of coronary veins before percutaneous transcatheter cardiac therapy.Yayın Ondansetron administration before transoesophageal echocardiography reduces the need for sedation and improves patient comfort during the procedure(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2010) Aydin, Alper; Yilmazer, Mustafa Serdar; Gurol, Tayfun; Celik, Omer; Dagdeviren, BahadirTransoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is an uncomfortable procedure for the majority of patients. In the current double-blind randomized prospective study, we sought to assess whether ondansetron would improve patient comfort, reduce the need for sedation, and increase tolerance during TEE, and we compared ondansetron, metoclopramide, and placebo. One hundred and fifty-six patients who underwent TEE were randomized into three groups receiving ondansetron HCl, metoclopramide, or placebo. Data concerning additional doses of midazolam, procedural time, recovery time in the outpatient ward, blood pressure values, percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation values, side effects of the medications used, and patient discomfort via a visual analogue scale (VAS) were collected and analysed. The ondansetron group received less additional midazolam than the metoclopramide and placebo groups (ondansetron group: 0.6 +/- 0.7 mg; metoclopramide group: 1.9 +/- 0.9 mg; and placebo group: 2.1 +/- 0.8 mg; P < 0,001). VAS was significantly lower in the ondansetron group than in the metoclopramide and placebo groups (4.0 +/- 1.6, 6.1 +/- 1.8, and 6.6 +/- 1.6, respectively; P < 0.001). Recovery time in the outpatient ward was shorter in the ondansetron group than in the metoclopramide and placebo groups (22.5 +/- 4.8, 30.9 +/- 6.6, and 30.4 +/- 5.0 min, respectively; P < 0.001). No adverse reaction to ondansetron was observed, whereas one patient developed mild spontaneously resolving dystonia due to metoclopramide. Ondansetron administration reduces the need for sedation during TEE and improves patient comfort.Yayın An Unusual Cause of Syncope in a Patient with Prosthetic Aortic Valve(Galenos Yayincilik, 2012) Aydın, A.; Gurol, Tayfun; Yılmazer, Mustafa Serdar; Dagdeviren, BahadirThe authors present the case of a patient with aortic valve surgery and unexplained syncopal attacks. With the use of an implantable loop recorder, sinus node dysfunction was diagnosed more than 4 months after implantation. This case highlights the importance of implantable loop recorders in patients with unexplained syncope and that atrioventricular block is not the only mechanism of syncope in patients with aortic valve surgery.
