A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to cardiomegaly on plain chest radiography. He did not have any history of chest pain, trauma or fever of unknown origin. Echocardiography showed severe aortic valve regurgitation. Standard enhanced computed tomography(CT)showed a localized dissection or an aneurysm of the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva. However it is difficult to make a definite diagnosis because of cardiac beating artifact.
CHDF was applied to 8 patients who developed acute renal failure following cardiogenic shock. Four of 8 patients also underwent PCPS (percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass) and all were weaned from PCPS. Five patients were weaned from CHDF. CHDF was very effective to control the concentration of serum potassium, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and diuresis. Jpn. J.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
