Öğe Arterial and venous reconstruction for free tissue transfer in diabetic ischemic foot ulcers(W B Saunders Co Ltd, 2004) Sunar, H; Aygit, CA; Afsar, Y; Halici, U; Duran, EObjective. To review our experience with temporary arteriovenous (AV) fistula followed by free tissue transfer in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers associated with peripheral arterial occlusion. Patients and method. From July 1997 to July 2002,15 lower extremities were operated in 14 patients. An AV loop with its apex below the medial malleolus was created between popliteal artery and saphenous system. Three weeks later, the loop was divided to provide an artery and a vein end. Foot defect was covered with latissimus dorsi muscle flap followed by split thickness skin grafting. Results. Fistulas were patent in 12 extremities. Free tissue transfer was performed in 13 extremities. Two free flaps failed. After patent temporary arteriovenous fistula, free tissue transfer was successful in 11 of 12 extremities. One patient was amputated below knee due to ongoing infection despite successful free tissue transfer. Early mortality rate was 7%. Limb salvage was achieved in 11 of 13 extremities that staged operation was performed. Overall extremity loss was four of 15 lower extremities in 14 patients. Overall mortality was 21% for mean 20 follow-up period. Conclusion. Temporary AV fistula and free flap may provide stable wound coverage and high rate of limb salvage in treatment of diabetic foot ulcers with large tissue loss.Öğe Autogenous arterial radial-basilic forearm looped transposition(Mosby, Inc, 2003) Sunar, H; Cikirikcioglu, M; Halici, Ü; Duran, EWe describe the use of radial artery as a conduit for arteriovenous hemodialysis access in the forearm. The advantages of this type of fistula are use of autogenous material and its localization because forearm fistula is easily cannulated and is more convenient for the patient. This fistula may be an alternative solution in selected hemodialysis patients for the difficult access in whom superficial arm veins are exhausted and lower extremity access is unsuitable.Öğe Brachial plexus injury during open heart surgery - Controlled prospective study(Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2005) Canbaz, S; Turgut, N; Halici, U; Sunar, H; Balci, K; Duran, EBackground: Postoperative brachial plexus injury is often reported because the brachial plexus is stretched by sternotomy and the use of sternal retractors during open heart surgery. In many studies, brachial plexus injuries have been demonstrated by postoperative electrophysiological studies in susceptible patients. In this study, we estimated the incidence, severity, and type of brachial plexus injuries by routine preoperative and postoperative electrophysiological studies of patients undergoing open heart surgery. Methods: Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery (Group 1), heart valve surgery (Group 2), or peripheral vascular surgery (Group 3) were included in the investigation. Electrophysiological studies of both upper extremities were performed five days before and three weeks after the operation. Results: Peripheral nerve problems were found preoperatively in 23 of the 112 patients (21 %). These problems persisted, but similar findings were obtained postoperatively from the left upper extremities of six of the 42 CABG (14%) and two of the 24 heart valve (8%) patients who had had normal preoperative evaluations. The patients with injured nerves were older and had undergone longer operation times. There were no differences between the patients with injured nerves and the others with respect to mammary artery harvesting or other operative variables. Conclusions: There are no reports in the literature of routine preoperative and postoperative electrophysiological studies in large patient groups to evaluate brachial plexus injury during open heart surgery. It is known that heart surgery sometimes causes partial brachial plexus injury, especially in the lower trunk. However, these peripheral nerve problems are usually not considered clinically important and are not investigated. Patients undergoing open heart surgery must be closely followed up for peripheral nerve injury during the postoperative period.Öğe The effect of nadroparine on coagulation mechanisms(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003) Sunar, H; Hüseyinova, G; Canbaz, S; Halici, Ü; Duran, ELow molecular weight heparins are widely used in the prophylaxis and treatment of thrombotic disorders. The effect of low molecular weight heparins on coagulation was examined ultrastructurally in an animal model. A test and a control group was formed, each consisting of five rabbits. Nadroparine (225 Institute of Chaoy Unit/kg twice daily) was applied to the test group for 10 days. The control group received 1 ml saline solution subcutaneously. Blood and vascular tissue samples collected at the end of the 10th day were evaluated under a JEM 100 B electron microscope. Platelet degranulation and agglutination was observed in the control group. Fibrin materials were detected in the cytoplasms and surroundings of degranulated platelets. Erythrocyte accumulation was remarkable on the vascular endothelium with intact coagulation periods. In the test group, outer membranes of platelets, hyalomere, and granular structures in the granulomeres were detected to be nearly intact. There were rare erythrocytes in the large vascular lumens. The aggregation phase had occurred but no agglutination was detected. Nadroparine seems to preserve consistency of lipoprotein membranes of platelets and granular structures containing enzymes, which contribute to the coagulation mechanisms.

Here we investigated changes in serum androgen levels during and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass surgery. Serum luteinizing hormone, free testosterone and dihydroepiandrestenedione sulphate (DHEA sulphate) levels were evaluated in 38 male coronary artery bypass surgery patients using a chemical immunoassay technique. All hormone levels were corrected to account for haemodilution. Serum-free testosterone level decreased significantly during weaning from CPB (from 15.7 +/- 4.2 nmol/l to 6.2 +/- 2.8 nmol/l), and an even greater decrease was observed in the first post-operative day (5.4 +/- 3.1 nmol/l). On the seventh post-operative day, free testosterone levels reached a normal value (11.8 +/- 5.5 nmol/l), although they were still significantly lower compared with the pre-operative value. There were slight alterations in serum DHEA sulphate levels, although the only significant decrease occurred from the first to the seventh day post-operation (from 4.7 +/- 2.2 pmol/l to 3.7 +/- 1.8 pmol/l, respectively). Serum luteinizing hormone levels were decreased during weaning from CPB (from 4.8 +/- 2.1 mIU/ml to 3.9 +/- 1.8 mIU/mI), but increased rapidly to the pre-operative value (5.5 +/- 2.5 mIU/ml) at the first post-operative day. These results show that CPB affects serum luteinizing hormone, free testosterone and dihydroepiandrestenedione sulphate levels. The free testosterone level decreases significantly both during and after CPB surgery.Öğe The effects of intracoronary administration of vitamin E on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury during coronary artery surgery(Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2003) Canbaz, S; Duran, E; Ege, T; Sunar, H; Cikirikcioglu, M; Acipayam, MBackground: Vitamin E has a strong antioxidant capacity, and has been used in several ischemia-reperfusion studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water-soluble vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) on myocardial protection during coronary artery surgery. Methods: Water soluble vitamin E (100mg) in tepid saline (n = 14) or tepid saline alone (n = 16) was administered into the coronary arteries at the end of aortic cross-clamping. Cardiac troponin-1 (cTn-1), MB-isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), myoglobin, blood gas, and lactate levels in systemic and coronary sinus blood and hemodynamic variables were assessed during and after the operation. Results: Eight hours after reperfusion, cTn-1 levels increased to 3.06 +/- 1.8 ng/ml and 6.97 +/- 3.9 ng/ml in the vitamin E group and control group, respectively (p = 0.01). Coronary sinus lactate concentration was 2.68 +/- 0.5 mmol/l in the vitamin E group and 4.01 +/- 1.5 mmol/l in the control group 60 minutes after reperfusion (p = 0.027). Conclusions: Administration of vitamin E into the coronary arteries before removal of the aortic cross-clamp can reduce myocardial cell injury and protect the myocardium from ischemia-reperfusion injury.Öğe The importance of aprotinin and pentoxifylline in preventing leukocyte sequestration and lung injury caused by protamine at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass surgery(Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2004) Ege, T; Arar, C; Canbaz, S; Cikirikcioglu, M; Sunar, H; Yuksel, V; Duran, EBackground: Protamine has adverse effects on pulmonary gas exchange during the postoperative period. The objective of this study was to investigate the importance of aprotinin and pentoxifylline in preventing the leukocyte sequestration and lung injury caused by protamine administered after the termination of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods: Participants (n = 39) were allocated into three groups at the termination of CPB: Group 1, (control group, n = 16); Group 2 (aprotinin group, n = 12), who received protamine + aprotinin (15 000 IU/kg); and Group 3 (Pentoxifylline group, n = 11), who received protamine + pentoxifylline (10 mg/kg). Leukocyte counts in pulmonary and radial arteries were determined after the termination of CPB and before any drug was given (t(1)), and 5 minutes (t(2)), 2 hours (t(3)), 6 hours (t(4)) and 12 hours (t(s)) after the administration of protamine. Alveolar-arterial O-2 gradient (A-aO(2)) and dynamic pulmonary compliance were measured at t(1), t(2) and t(3). Results: In the control group, an increase in pulmonary leukocyte sequestration was observed 5 minutes and 2 hours after protamine administration, after which this difference disappeared. No significant degree of pulmonary sequestration was detected in any measurements after protamine was administered in the aprotinin and pentoxifylline (PTX) groups. Dynamic lung compliance was 50.1, 45.2 and 47.2 ml/cm H2O in the control group, 49.2, 61.1 and 56.3 ml/ cm H2O in the aprotinin group, and 49.5, 54.5 and 50.4 ml/cm H2O in the PTX group. The A-aO(2) gradient was 212.2, 263.3 and 254.3 mmHg in the control group, 209.4, 257.1 and 217.3 mmHg in the aprotinin group, and 211.3, 260.8 and 219.2 mmHg in the PTX group. Conclusion: Aprotinin and PTX treatments have favourable effects on lung function by reducing protamine-induced leukocyte sequestration into lungs at the end of CPB.Öğe The importance of intrapericardial drain selection in cardiac surgery(Elsevier, 2004) Ege, T; Tatli, E; Canbaz, S; Cikirikcioglu, M; Sunar, H; Ozalp, B; Duran, EIntroduction: To explore the impact of intrapericardial and infracardiac drains on pericardial effusions in cardiac surgery. Materials and methods: Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were randomized into two groups. At the end of the intervention, an intrapericardial and infracardiac Blake drain was placed in patients in group 1 (n = 97), and an intrapericardial and infracardiac semirigid drain was placed in patients in group 2 (n = 105). In addition, a semirigid drain was placed into mediastinum in all cases. The amount of drainage was calculated at six different time points postoperatively: postoperative 0 to 2 h, postoperative 2 to 4 h, postoperative 4 to 6 h, postoperative 6 to 12 h, postoperative 12 to 24 h, and postoperative 24 to 48 h. The amount of pericardial effusion was estimated by transthoracic echocardiography after the drains were removed. Results: In all measurements, the amount of drainage from intrapericardial Blake drains was higher, the total amount of drainage being equal to 330.7 +/- 29.4 mL and 193.2 +/- 19.6 mL in the Blake drain and semirigid drain groups, respectively (p = 0.000) [mean +/- SD]. When the drains were removed, the volume of pericardial effusion was 3.86 +/- 0.76 mm in Blake drain group and 7.59 +/- 1.16 mm in semirigid drain group (p = 0.000). The incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation was 11.3% in the group with Blake drains, and 23.8% in the group with semirigid drains (p = 0.016). Conclusion: The more effective drainage obtained with infracardiac Blake drains compared to semirigid drains helps to reduce the amount of postoperative pericardial effusion and the risk of atrial fibrillation.Öğe Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome associated with polydactyly(Wiley-Liss, 2006) Sunar, H; Halici, U; Duran, EKlippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) manifests cutaneous vascular nevus, superficial venous varicosities, and hypertrophy of the affected limb. KTS may be associated with other developmental anomalies such as polydactyly, syndactyly, and macrocephaly. We present a case with KTS associated with polydactyly.Öğe The prevalence of hereditary thrombophilia in the Trakya region of Turkey(Yonsei Univ College Medicine, 2000) Demir, M; Vural, Ö; Sunar, H; Altun, A; Yorulmaz, F; Özbay, GThe prevalences of deficiencies in antithrombin III (AT III), protein C (PC), protein S (PS) and in the activated protein C (APC) resistance in the thrombotic population of the Trakya region, Turkey were investigated. 37 patients with venous thrombosis (VT) and 17 patients with arterial thrombosis (ArT) were included in this study. The mean ages of the patients with VT and ArT were 46 years (range 20-70) and 38 years (range 32-40), respectively; The activity of AT III was measured by commercially available immuno-turbidimetric assay. The activities of PC and PS were determined by coagulometric assay. The APC resistance was measured using a modified APTT-based clotting assay. Among the VT patients, there were 2 cases (5.4%) with AT Ill, 5 (13.51%) with PC deficiency, 5 (13.51%) with PS deficiency and 2 (5.4%) with APC resistance. In the ArT patient group, there was 1 patient (5.88%) with AT III, 3 (17.64%) with PC deficiency, 1 (5.88%) with PS deficiency and no APC resistant patients, while there was one (2.08%) with PC deficiency and one (2.08%) with APC resistance in the control group (49 persons, mean age 41 years). The relative risk of thrombosis (odds ratio) was 1.7 in the deficiency of PC and 5.6 in the deficiency of PS. The data presented suggests that the prevalences of AT III, PC and PS deficiencies causing thrombophilia in the Trakya region of Turkey are higher than in other reported studies while the APC resistance is lower than in others. Further studies including more patients would be required to clarify these discrepancies.Öğe Pseudoaneurysm of the posterior tibial artery as a complication of thrombectomy(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2004) Canbaz, S; Sunar, H; Yuksel, V; Duran, E[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Regarding ''reporting standards in venous disease: An update''(Mosby-Year Book Inc, 1996) Sunar, H; Yoruk, Y[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Regarding Bypass graft to the midpopliteal artery with a combined anterior and posterior approach(Mosby, Inc, 2002) Sunar, H; Duran, E[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Regarding Patency and limb salvage rates after distal revascularization to unclampable calcified outflow arteries(Mosby, Inc, 2005) Halici, U; Sunar, H; Ketenciler, S; Duran, E[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Surgical management of combined stab injury of the spinal cord and the aorta -: Case report(Japan Neurosurgical Soc, 2004) Simsek, O; Kilincer, C; Sunar, H; Hamamcioglu, MK; Canbaz, S; Çobanoglu, S; Duran, EA 32-year-old man presented with a combined penetrating stab injury of the spinal cord and the aorta caused by a knife wound in his back at the low thoracic level. The knife had broken, and part of the blade had been retained in the wound, passing through the spinal canal and into the aortic lumen. The patient was treated in two steps: the aorta was repaired by a thoracotomy, then spinal exploration was carried out through a laminectomy. Because of the tamponade effect of the foreign body, it was necessary to delay removal of the blade until vascular control had been achieved. Any sign of a penetrating body passing through the spine should suggest careful evaluation to detect any visceral injury, and multidisciplinary treatment should be planned.Öğe Vegetectomy in Brucella endocarditis(Elsevier Science Inc, 2002) Sunar, H; Duran, E[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Videothoracoscopic biopsy in pleural disorders(Monduzzi Editore, 1996) Yoruk, Y; Sunar, H; Caglar, T; Mehmet, R[Abstract Not Available]
