Öğe A comparison of two different management plans for patients requiring both carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting(Clinics Cardive Publ Pty Ltd, 2021) Ecevit, Ata Niyazi; Karaca, Okay Guven; Kalender, Mehmet; Bekmezci, Murat; Sungur, Mehmet Ali; Darcin, Osman TanselBackground: Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a prophylactic operation that is used to mitigate the risk of stroke caused by embolism of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid bifurcation. Previously, the large, multicentre, randomised, controlled GALA study found no significant differences in clinical outcomes between patients treated using general or local anaesthesia. While this study provided important insights into disease outcomes based on treatment modalities, it did not answer questions regarding the safety of CEA under local anaesthesia in patients at high risk for cardiovascular complications. Here, we examined the use of two different management plans in patients requiring both carotid endarterectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), in terms of their effects on hospital mortality. Methods: Thirty-four patients consecutively operated on in our cardiovascular department were included in this analysis. The patients were divided into two groups based on the anaesthetic management plan. The first group consisted of patients who underwent CEA and CABG under general anaesthesia in the same session (GA group); the second group consisted of patients who initially underwent CEA under cervical block anaesthesia followed by CABG under general anaesthesia in a separate session (CB-GA group). These two groups were compared in terms of postoperative complications and hospital mortality. Results: The incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction was higher in the CB-GA group, with four patients experiencing postoperative myocardial infarction, compared to no patients in the GA group. Conclusion: For patients requiring CEA and CABG, performing both operations under general anaesthesia in the same session was safer than initially performing CEA under cervical block anaesthesia followed by CABG under general anaesthesia.Öğe Infection Rate of Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheters(2021) Kalender, Mehmet; Ecevit, Ata Niyazi; Darçın, Osman Tansel; Karaca, Okay GüvenAim: Tunneled hemodialysis catheters are frequently used for hemodialysis patients andprovide temporary venous access. However, it causes complications such as catheter-relatedinfection, pneumothorax and hematoma. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the infections,complications and catheter patency rates that developed after the use of tunnel cathetersconnected to three different access routes.Material and Methods: A total of 145 patients who underwent hemodialysis due to chronicrenal failure and who were placed on permanent hemodialysis catheter were included. In thisstudy, jugular vein route was used as the first choice for the dialysis access route, when otheraccess routes were needed due to complications and infection, femoral vein route was thesecond choice, while subclavian vein route was the third choice.Results: The femoral vein group had the highest infection rate and the lowest patency rate(both p<0.001). The infection rate at the end of one year was 65.3%, 95.6%, and 64.0% for thejugular vein, femoral vein and subclavian vein, respectively. At the end of one year, patencyrates for the jugular vein, subclavian vein and femoral vein were 57.3%, 6.7%, and 32.0%,respectively.Conclusion: Although the jugular vein is the first choice for venous entry in hemodialysispatients, femoral and subclavian veins are also used. In this study, the jugular vein was the bestoption in terms of patency rate and infection. The femoral vein, on the other hand, had theworst patency rate and was also the access route with the highest infection rate.Öğe Pyoderma gangrenosum triggered by acute ischemia of lower extremity: A case report(Duzce University Medical School, 2019) Kalender, Mehmet; Uğur, Oğuz; Gökmengil, Hayat; Karaca, Okay Güven; Karanis, Meryem İlkay ErenPyoderma gangrenosum is a very rare condition of unclear etiology with an estimated incidence of 3 to 10 cases per million people per year. We report a case of pyoderma gangrenosum triggered by acute ischemia of lower extremity without a prior history. Seventy-seven years old female patient was admitted to the emergency department with necrosis on the anterior side of her left limb. Digital subtraction arteriography revealed total occlusion of the left common femoral artery for which thrombectomy under local anesthesia was performed successfully. The necrotic area was debrided and biopsies were obtained. Pathological examination revealed pyoderma gangrenosum and steroid treatment was began. The patient was discharged on the 10th postoperative day with prednisone 48 mg per day for the following 30 days. During the management of ischemic peripheral artery disease patients with persistent skin findings, pyoderma gangrenosum should be in the list of differential diagnoses. © 2019, Duzce University Medical School.

We aimed to compare proximal radiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) with brachiobasilic AVFs on the upper arm in terms of steal syndrome and outcomes. Material/Method: We used our institutional operative record database to identify 94 patients in whom brachiobasilic AVF (n=40) and radiobasilic AVF (n=54) were placed between January 2009 and December 2013. Postoperative complications such as steal syndrome, venous hypertension, and aneurysm were recorded. Results: Steal syndrome was determined to occur less frequently in the radiobasilic AVF group (0% vs. 10%, P=0.03). The rates of other complications (bleeding, aneurysm, venous hypertension) between the 2 groups were similar, as were the patency rates. Conclusions: Radiobasilic AVF was effective in reducing steal syndrome, with similar early and late outcomes.Öğe Regional Cervical Plexus Blockage for Carotid Endarterectomy in Patients with Cardiovascular Risk Factors(Forum Multimedia Publishing, Llc, 2015) Taşar, Mehmet; Kalender, Mehmet; Karaca, Okay Güven; Ecevit, Ata Niyazi; Salihi, Salih; Adademir, Taylan; Darçın, Osman TanselBackground: Carotid artery disease is not rare in cardiac patients. Patients with cardiac risk factors and carotid stenosis are prone to neurological and cardiovascular complications. With cardiac risk factors, carotid endarterectomy operation becomes challenging. Regional anesthesia is an alternative option, so we aimed to investigate the operative results of carotid endarterectomy operations under regional anesthesia in patients with cardiac risk factors. Methods: We aimed to analyze and compare outcomes of carotid endarterectomy under regional anesthesia with cardiovascular risk groups retrospectively. Between 2006 and 2014, we applied 129 carotid endarterectomy +/- patch plasty to 126 patients under combined cervical plexus block anesthesia. Patients were divided into three groups (high, moderate, low) according to their cardiovascular risks. Neurological and cardiovascular events after carotid endarterectomy were compared. Results: Cerebrovascular accident was seen in 7 patients (5.55%) but there was no significant difference between groups (P > .05). Mortality rate was 4.76% (n = 6); it was higher in the high risk group and was not statistically significant (P = .180). Four patients required revision for bleeding (3.17%). We did not observe any postoperative surgical infection. Conclusion: Carotid endarterectomy can be safely performed with regional cervical anesthesia in all cardiovascular risk groups. Comprehensive studies comparing general anesthesia and regional anesthesia are needed.Öğe Retroperitoneal Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheter in Inferior Vena Cava: A Report of Three Cases(2019) Karaca, Okay; Ecevit, Ata; Kalender, Mehmet; Taşar, Mehmet; Ege, TuranFinding an appropriate vascular access is difficult in long term hemodialysispatients for emergency hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to present tunneled hemodialysis catheter placement to inferior vena cava through retroperitoneal approach as an alternative method for patients who have emergency hemodialysis and no other choice. We placed tunneled hemodialysis catheter into inferior vena cava through retroperitoneal approach in three patients for emergency hemodialysis, two of them being female and one being male. The mean age of the patients was 51.3 years (min: 36, max: 56) and mean dialysis time was for a period of 4.3 years (min: 2, max: 6). In conclusion, placement of tunneled hemodialysis catheter into the inferior vena cava through retroperitoneal approach can be an alternative vascular access procedure for patients especially who have emergency hemodialysis and no other choice.Öğe Short Term Outcomes of Endarterectomy to Asymptomatic Extracranial Carotid Artery Disease(2020) Kalender, Mehmet; Uğur, Oğuz; Gökmengil, Hayat; Baysal, Ahmet Nihat; Düzyol, İpek Yakın; Parlar, Hakan; Karaca, Okay GüvenAim: Recently published papers regarding the treatment of carotid artery stenosis are incontradiction with previous trials. Some experts have argued that this evidence supports aconservative approach to carotid revascularization (carotid endarterectomy or carotid stenting)in asymptomatic patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate outcomes of carotidendarterectomy based on preoperative symptom status.Material and Methods: This retrospective study included patients underwent carotidendarterectomy to internal carotid artery between August 2008 and August 2015. Patients weredivided into two groups according to preoperative symptoms. Asymptomatic group consistedof 41 patients with no preoperative neurological symptoms, and symptomatic group of 62patients with preoperative neurological symptoms (vertigo, amaurosis fugax, transientischemic attack and ischemic stroke). Postoperatively, all patients received standard therapy inline with the recommendation of the guidelines.Results: One hundred and three patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age of patientswas 68.20±9.79 (range, 41-86) years, and 27 (26.2%) of them were female. There were nostatistically significant difference in terms of demographic characteristics between the groupsexcept risk groups; asymptomatic group had more high risk grouped patients (p=0.001).Asymptomatic group was associated with statistically significantly more postoperativemortality compared with symptomatic group (p=0.028). None of the preoperative variableswere related to postoperative stroke. In symptomatic group, postoperative stroke was seen inthe patients who had preoperative transient ischemic attack and major stroke.Conclusion: Time of surgical treatment in asymptomatic carotid artery disease should beplanned according to patients’ cardiac risk factors.Öğe Validation of German Aortic Valve Score in a Multi-Surgeon Single Center(Soc Brasil Cirurgia Cardiovasc, 2017) Kalender, Mehmet; Baysal, Ahmet Nihat; Karaca, Okay Güven; Boyacıoğlu, Kamil; Kayalar, NihanObjective: Risk assessment for operative mortality is mandatory for all cardiac operations. For some operation types such as aortic valve repair, EuroSCORE II overestimates the mortality rate and a new scoring system (German AV score) has been developed for a more accurate assessment of operative risk. In this study, we aimed to validate German Aortic Valve Score in our clinic in patients undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement. Methods: A total of 35 patients who underwent isolated open aortic valve replacement between 2010 and 2013 were included. Patients with concomitant procedures and transcatheter aortic valve implantation were excluded. Patients' data were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Patients' risk scores EuroSCORE II were calculated online according to criteria described by EuroSCORE taskforce, Aortic Valve Scores were also calculated. Results: The mean age of patients was 61.14 +/- 13.25 years (range 29-80 years). The number of female patients was 14 (40%) and body mass index of 25 (71.43%) patients was in range of 22-35. Mean German Aortic Valve Score was 1.05 +/- 0.96 (min: 0 max: 4.98) and mean EuroSCORE was 2.30 +/- 2.60 (min: 0.62, max: 2.30). The Aortic Valve Score scale showed better discriminative capacity (AUC 0.647, 95% CI 0.439-0.854). The goodness of fit was x(2)HL[Aortic Valve Score]= 16.63; P= 0.436). EuroSCORE II scale had shown less discriminative capacity (AUC 0.397, 95% CI 0.200-0.597). The goodness of fit was good for both scales. The goodness of fit was x(2)HL[EuroSCORE II]= 30.10; P= 0.610. Conclusion: In conclusion, German AV score applies to our population with high predictive accuracy and goodness of fit.
