Cao C, Yan TD, Bannon PG, McCaughan BC Ann. Surg. Oncol. 2011 Oct;18(10):2973-9 PMID: 21512863 Abstract BACKGROUND: Extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) has been shown to improve long-term survival outcomes in selected patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). The present study aimed to evaluate potential prognostic factors on overall survival for patients who underwent EPP for MPM…
Kirschner MB, Kao SC, Edelman JJ, Armstrong NJ, Vallely MP, van Zandwijk N, Reid G PLoS ONE 2011;6(9):e24145 PMID: 21909417 Abstract The presence of cell-free microRNAs (miRNAs) has been detected in a range of body fluids. The miRNA content of plasma/serum in particular has been proposed as a potential source of novel biomarkers for a…
Rahnavardi M, Yan TD, Bannon PG, Wilson MK Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2011 Aug;13(2):189-97 PMID: 21571910 Abstract A best evidence topic was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether the reimplantation (David) technique or the remodeling (Yacoub) technique provides the optimum event free survival in patients with an aortic root aneurysm…
Ramponi F, Yan TD, Vallely MP, Wilson MK Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2011 Jul;13(1):86-8 PMID: 21482577 Abstract Suture-mediated closure devices have been previously described as an interesting alternative to femoral cutdown during endovascular aortic procedures. The insertion of two or three devices before the cannulation (preclose technique) permits successful percutaneous access also with a large…
