Item Batista procedure as a bridge to cardiac transplantation.(2001-01-18) Sankar, N M; Baruah, A R; Ninan, B; Rajan, S; Cherian, K MA 37-year-old male patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and end-stage heart failure underwent Batista procedure. After 6 months, he underwent orthotopic heart transplantation. Though he did not survive the procedure, we conclude that Batista procedure may serve as a cost-effective biological bridge to cardiac transplantation.Item Haemostatic effects of crystalloid vs colloid prime in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.(1999-07-12) Singh, R K; Ninan, B; Mohan, C RThe controversy surrounding the use of a colloid or a crystalloid prime in the cardiopulmonary circuit still continues and is a matter of conjecture and an unresolved issue. To evaluate the effect of 4% modified fluid gelatin on haemostasis by measurement of haemostatic variables after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, we studied 40 patients. They were randomly assigned to 2 groups of ringer lactate and 4% modified fluid gelatin priming solution. The study conclusively proved that 4% modified fluid gelatin has no significant effect on haemostasis and could be recommended as a priming fluid in cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.Item Thrombolysis with percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty of a blocked modified Blalock-Taussig shunt.(2004-11-09) Singh, V; Pillai, S; Kulkarni, S; Murthy, K S; Coelho, R; Ninan, B; Cherian, K MTranscatheter balloon recanalization of occluded Blalock-Taussig shunts in the early post-operative period has been reported in the past but there are issues regarding the role of thrombolysis in this situation. We present our experience with such a procedure in an infant with blocked modified Blalock-Taussig shunt.
