Item Management of a patient with giant aneurysms in the popliteal and coronary arteries(Oxford University Press, 2016) Yildirim F.; Senarslan D.A.; Ozturk T.; Tetik O.Coexistence of multiple peripheric arterial and coronary artery aneurysms of different sizes is extremely rare in young adults. We present a case of rare giant coronary aneurysm and concurrent giant left popliteal aneurysm treated with classical open repair. © 2016 The Author 2016.

Patients with previous heart surgery have more risk for dissecting intra-myocardial haematoma after percutaneous coronary intervention. Management of this issue is challenging. We describe a rare case of a 63-year-old woman with a left ventricular wall-dissecting intra-myocardial haematoma, which developed 30 minutes after percutaneous coronary intervention. The patient was treated conservatively, with a successful outcome.Item Three Cases of Large-Diameter True Brachial and Axillary Artery Aneurysm and a Review of the Literature(Elsevier Inc., 2019) Senarslan D.A.; Yildirim F.; Tetik O.Aneurysms of the upper extremity mostly originate from trauma, mycotic lesions, thoracic outlet syndrome, previous arteriovenous fistulae, and atherosclerosis. True aneurysms of the brachial and axillary artery are encountered rarely. They can be diagnosed by simple physical examination as a pulsatile mass. However, most of these aneurysms remain asymptomatic until a complication occurs. The primary complication seen with the axillary or brachial artery is embolization. We report 3 large-diameter true brachial artery aneurysms extending to the axillary zone. One of the patients had distal digital emboli causing gangrenous lesions at the finger tips and the other 2 patients had pain and ischemic symptoms in the forearm. All underwent surgical repair. After excision of the aneurysmal segment, arterial continuity was ensured by interposition of a reversed saphenous vein in 2 patients and with a biological vascular graft in 1 patient. Although endovascular techniques are improving, most true brachial artery aneurysms are not anatomically suitable for interventional procedures. Open surgery still preserves its value. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.Item Genes predisposing tunneled catheter thrombosis in hemodialysis patients; [Hemodiyaliz hastalarında tünelli kateter trombozuna yol açan genler](Baycinar Medical Publishing, 2022) Senarslan D.A.; Gümüş A.A.; Cam F.S.; Kurdal A.T.Background: This study aims to investigate the association of genes predisposing thrombophilia with tunneled catheter thrombosis in hemodialysis patients. Methods: Between October 2018 and December 2020, we compared the frequencies of genetic polymorphisms causing thrombophilia, including prothrombin G20210A, factor V Leiden, methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T, MTHFR A1298C, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), factor XIII V34L and clinical characteristics of 52 patients with a history of ≥2 tunneled catheter thrombosis occlusions within a year (Group 1; 24 males, 28 females; mean age: 62±8.9 years; range, 45 to 77 years), 52 patients who underwent their first tunneled catheter thrombosis insertion (Group 2; 29 males, 23 females; mean age: 63±15.2 years; range, 22 to 87 years), and 51 healthy controls (Group 3; 26 males, 25 females; mean age: 34±9.2 years; range, 19 to 54 years). Results: Groups 1 and 2 carried the MTHFR A1298C (p=0.048) and compound heterozygous MTHFR A1298C and C677T (p=0.048) polymorphisms more frequently than Group 3. However, subgroup analysis results were not statistically significant. The other polymorphisms were distributed similarly in all three groups. The MTHFR polymorphisms had a weak effect on tunneled hemodialysis catheter thrombosis in neural network analysis. Conclusion: Our study results indicated that there was a concomitance of MTHFR polymorphisms with hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease. The MTHFR A1298C and compound heterozygous MTHFR polymorphisms may be associated with tunneled hemodialysis catheter thrombosis. Thrombophilia gene screening may be recommended in hemodialysis patients undergoing tunneled hemodialysis catheter thrombosis at least twice in a year. © 2022 All right reserved by the Turkish Society of Cardiovascular Surgery.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized, cross-sectional study we included 81 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Patients were randomized and RIPC was applied to 40 patients in the study group before anesthesia. The remaining 41 patients were determined as the control group. The relationships between RIPC and factors such as presepsin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and leukocyte levels were investigated. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups in postoperative leukocyte and CRP values (p = 0.52, p = 0.13, respectively). When the preoperative and postoperative first hour presepsin values of the patients were compared, no significant difference was found in the control group (p = 0.17), but a significant difference was found in the study group (p < 0.05). When the presepsin values were compared between the groups, a significant difference was found only in the postoperative first hour value (p < 0.05). Conclusions: It was observed that RIPC application caused to increase the presepsin levels in the postoperative first hour significantly in the study group (p < 0.05). © The Author(s) 2024.
