27 January 2012
David S. Kauvar, Mark R. Sarfati, Larry W. Kraiss
Objectives: The resuscitation of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAAs) has not been well studied, and the potential benefit of autotransfusion (AT) is unknown. The increased use of...
Elevated cardiac troponin T contributes to prediction of worse in-hospital outcomes after endovascular therapy for acute limb ischemia
27 January 2012
Birgit Linnemann, Thilo Sutter, Sebastian Sixt, Aljoscha Rastan, Uwe Schwarzwaelder, Elias Noory, Karlheinz Buergelin, Ulrich Beschorner, Thomas Zeller
Introduction: The present study evaluated whether elevated cardiac troponin T (cTnT) was predictive of an increased risk for death or amputation in patients with acute lower limb ischemia (ALI). ALI i...
