Does the persistence of pulsatile antegrade pulmonary blood flow following bidirectional Glenn procedure affect long term outcome?
We conclude that leaving antegrade flow following a Glenn procedure improves oxygen saturation significantly and while it does not impact on short term outcome or hospital stay, long-term outcome is significantly better.
A combination of decreased sensitivity to gastrin in infected healthy volunteers and increased maximal acid secretory capacity in patients with DU underlies their different acid response to H. pylori-induced hypergastrinemia.
