Surgical Treatment Of Multiple Vein Graft Aneurysms In 72 Year Old Man, Heather Geist, James K. Wu Md, Raymond Singer Md

James K. Wu, M.D.

Abstract

The rarity of saphenous vein graft aneurysms following coronary artery bypass graft surgery presents an interesting case, as seen in a 72 year-old gentleman who underwent his third bypass surgery for an aneurysmal graft. Information regarding the case was gathered using the Lehigh Valley Health Network medical databases. The 8 cm aneurysmal portion of the graft was resected successfully and replaced with a CryoVein. Following surgery the patient had relief of symptoms and recovered well. It was determined that the patient had two true aneurysms present, making surgery a necessity in this specific case.

Potential Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Use For Increased Survival Of In-Hospital Cardiac Arrests, Amanda Broderick, James K. Wu Md, Heather Geist

James K. Wu, M.D.

Abstract

This study sought to analyze and better understand the different etiologies of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), to determine the short and long term outcomes for these patients, to review and look for trends within the “code blue” data, and to identify patients who may benefit from an advanced and aggressive cardiopulmonary support system like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) process. A retrospective study of 182 patient charts and resuscitation records from the years 2011-2012 was completed with patients ranging in age from 24-70 years with a median age of 58.

This resulted in 57 patients with observed behavioral effects, and 47 patients with no observed behavioral effects. The median age of the patient population was 68 ± 16 years. Of the 57 patients with …
