title: A Case Of Splenic Artery Aneurysm, Treated By Aneurysmectomy And Splenic Artery End To End Anastomosis
abstract: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAA)'s account about 60% of all splanchnic artery aneurysms and are the third common intrabdominal aneurysm after abdominal aorta and iliac artery aneurysms.

title: A Case of Acute Aortic Failure and Cerebral Infarcts due to Infective Endocarditis in a Patient Addict to Fentanyl and Alcohol Management and Treatment
abstract: Infective endocarditis (IE) is one of the cardiac inflammation diseases with high mortality and morbidity mainly affects the inner liner of the endocardium and the valves. The majority of the infective endocarditis is caused by infectious agents  The incidence of IE is around 2 10/100000 and increases in elders up to 20/100000 per year  I.V drug abusers are more likely to have IE usually caused by single agent and mostly affect Tricuspid valve. Polymicrobial IE is more rare and associated with high mortality up to 30% [2] Addicted persons to heroin, cocaine, fentanyl and prescription opioids (Oxycodone, Morphine, and Hydrocodone) are more likely to have IE  Here in our case, we had a patient with IE associated with multiple cerebral hemorrhagic and infarct areas, brain abscess, pleural effusion, ARDS (Acute respiratory distress syndrome) and bicytopenia, with history of one attack pancreatitis and addiction to fentanyl and alcohol. When medical treatment becomes insufficient, surgery should take place in the management, but the question is when to take the decision of surgery and what type of valves should be implanted. In this case we preferred to use bioprosthetic valve due to the patient's characteristics and co morbidities.

title: Karotis endarterektomi yapilan hastalarda kardiyopulmoner baypas ile olusturulan sistemik hipotermi serebral korumaya yardimci olabilir mi
abstract: Karotis arter stenozu (KAS) bulunan koroner arter hastalarinda (KAH) oncelikle hangi hastaligin tedavi edilecegi ve cerrahi girisimin ne zaman olmasi gerektigi konusu tartismalidir. Koroner baypas cerrahisi uygulanacak hastalarda karotis arter hastaligi varsa serebrovaskuler olay gelisme riski yuksek kabul edilir. Karotis arter cerrahisi yapilacak hastalarda ciddi koroner lezyonlar varsa islem sirasinda miyokard enfarktusu gelisme riski fazladir. Bu nedenlerle bu iki hastalik ayni operasyonda tedavi edilmektedir. Bu hastalarda hangi cerrahi stratejinin uygulanacagi mortalite ve morbiditeyi azaltmada esastir. Biz 3 olguda hafif sistemik hipotermi ve kardiyopulmoner baypas altinda karotis endarterektomi (KEA) koroner arter baypas (CABG) uyguladik. Herhangi bir norolojik komplikasyonla karsilasmadik.

title: Isolated Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Treated by Linear Plication and External Wrapping Via Upper J Sternotomy Under Off Pump Technique
abstract: Ascending aortic aneurysm is an aortic dilatation of more than one and half of normal diameter carrying a high risk of dissection and rupture  Since long time, ascending aortic aneurysms have been treated mainly by graft replacement. In our clinic we used to plicate the aneurysmatic segment firstly then do wrapping by dacron graft in patients who are proper for such technique [2] In general, all the procedures in managing ascending aortic aneurysms are done with CPB (on pump) with complete sternotomy. In this case, the isolated aortic aneurysm was managed by linear plication and external wrapping of a dacron graft, the operation was carried out under off pump and via upper Jsternotomy.

title: Type 3 Ascending Aortic Dissection with Type 1 Dissection Which Disappeared Spontaneously in Three Days
abstract: A 60 years old female patient, known to have essential hypertension and bronchial asthma with a family history of coronary artery disease, presented to ER complaining.

title: Can systemic hypothermia induced during cardiopulmonary bypass protect the brain of patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy
abstract: Gonderilme tarihi: 06.03.2014 Kabul tarihi: 22.10.2014 Abstract In the cases of coronary artery disease (CAD) concomitant with carotid artery stenosis (CAS) what to manage first is still a controversial subject. Patients with CAS who will undergo coronary artery bypass grafting are considered to be under a high risk of cerebrovascular accidents. On the other hand, patients with CAD who will undergo surgery for CAS are under a high risk of having myocardial infarction during the procedure especially when they have serious coronary artery lesions. That is why it is better to treat both diseases in the same surgery. In such surgeries the cornerstone is to find the best strategy that can reduce both morbidity and mortality. Carotid endareterctomy (CEA) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were performed in the same session on 3 cases of CAD and CAS who were operated under systemic hypothermia and cardiopulmonary bypass. There were no neurological complications.

title: Surgical treatment of giant cardiac aneurysm with pseudoaneurysm in a colon carcinoma patient
abstract: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare and lethal condition associated with a high risk of rapid enlargement and rupture. It develops after transmural myocardial infarction (MI) cardiac surgery, trauma, or infection. When a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is detected, surgical repair is recommended due to the high possibility of rupture. In this report, we present surgical treatment of a giant cardiac pseudoaneurysm that occurred after MI in a colon carcinoma patient.

title: A Case of Ascending Aortic Aneurysm and Aortic Insufficiency Years after TGA, Treated by Button Bentall
abstract: A 20 year old male patient, presented to our clinic complaining from effort dyspnea with history of Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) operation 20 years ago, investigations were done and he was found to have ascending aortic aneurysm (60 mm) and severe (4o) aortic insufficiency. Operation decision was taken; after preop preparations had been completed the patient underwent Button Bentall operation, on the post op first day, revision was done in operation room because of bleeding and tamponate. On the 10th day of the operation he was discharged with full recovery and on medical treatment.
