Robotic arrhythmia surgery and resynchronization.

Abstract:

:Over the last decade, significant technological advancements have occurred in cardiac surgery. One such breakthrough has been the use of robotic telemanipulation systems, which allow the surgeon to perform cardiac surgery through a minimally invasive approach. As a result, surgery for atrial fibrillation and resynchronization therapy for congestive heart failure have been increasingly incorporated into the surgeon's armamentarium.

  • Protective effect of allopurinol in renal ischemia.

    abstract::We have confirmed earlier findings that treatment with allopurinol offers some protection to the kidney from ischemic damage caused by total interruption of renal circulation. With this evidence, a clinical trial is warranted, particularly when periods of warm ischemia are unavoidable. ...
