Aklog L
Semin Vasc Med . 2004 Jun; 1(2):235-46. PMID: 15199508
Emergency surgical pulmonary embolectomy is a highly effective treatment for selected patients with pulmonary embolism. Rapid noninvasive diagnostic modalities allow proper patient selection based on anatomic location of the emboli,...

Filsoufi F, Farivar R, Aklog L, Anderson C, Chen R, Lichtenstein S, et al.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg . 2004 Jan; 127(1):185-92. PMID: 14752430
Objective: We sought to assess the feasibility of performing sutureless distal coronary artery bypass anastomoses with a novel magnetic coupling device. Methods: From May 2000 to April 2001, single-vessel side-to-side...

Adams D, Filsoufi F, Byrne J, Karavas A, Aklog L
J Card Surg . 2002 May; 17(1):40-5. PMID: 12027126
An increasing number of patients are being referred for mitral valve repair in the redo cardiac surgery setting. The most common clinical scenarios involve prior coronary bypass surgery or aortic...

Byrne J, Karavas A, Adams D, Aklog L, Aranki S, Filsoufi F, et al.
J Heart Valve Dis . 2001 Oct; 10(5):584-90. PMID: 11603597
Background And Aim Of The Study: An alternative to avoid redo sternotomy in patients with patent left internal mammary artery-left anterior descending coronary artery (LIMA-LAD) grafts undergoing mitral valve surgery...

Filsoufi F, Aklog L, Adams D
Curr Opin Cardiol . 2001 Oct; 16(5):306-9. PMID: 11584170
For more than three decades, conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (full sternotomy, cardiopulmonary bypass, and cardioplegic arrest) has been the treatment of choice for patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease....

Aklog L, Filsoufi F, Flores K, Chen R, Cohn L, Nathan N, et al.
Circulation . 2001 Sep; 104(12 Suppl 1):I68-75. PMID: 11568033
Background: The optimal management of moderate (3+ on a scale of 0 to 4+) ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) remains controversial. Some advocate CABG alone, whereas others favor concomitant mitral annuloplasty....

J Heart Valve Dis . 2001 Aug; 10(4):451-7. PMID: 11499589
Background And Aim Of The Study: With increasing use of homograft and autograft aortic valves for aortic valve replacement (AVR), more patients will be presenting for aortic valve reoperation due...

Danton M, Byrne J, Flores K, Hsin M, Martin J, Laurence R, et al.
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg . 2001 Jul; 122(1):80-91. PMID: 11436040
Background: Right heart failure after cardiopulmonary bypass can result in severe hemodynamic compromise with high mortality, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. After ischemia-induced right ventricular failure, alterations in...

Byrne J, Aklog L, Adams D, Cohn L, Aranki S
Ann Thorac Surg . 2001 Feb; 71(1):196-200. PMID: 11216745
Background: Reoperative coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) through a left thoracotomy is a challenging operation with no one dominant approach. We developed a tailored strategy for this difficult group of...
