Is early elevation of cardiac troponin I predictive of short-term outcome in neonates and infants with coronary anomalies or reduced ventricular mass undergoing cardiac surgery?
Patients with coronary anomalies and patients with reduced ventricular mass should benefit from the routine monitoring of cTn-I concentrations after surgery for congenital cardiac disease.
This study demonstrated that the method in which AlloDerm is used in abdominal wall reconstruction has a significant impact on recurrence rates. Based on our findings, AlloDerm should be used only as a reinforcement after primary fascial reappoximation.
