    Carotid body tumor in a 9-year-old patient
    (Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2023) Durukan, Ahmet Baris; Gurbuz, Hasan Alper
    Carotid body tumors are rarely encountered pathologies in the pediatric age group but still exist in the differential diagnosis of cervical painless masses. Genetic and familial background should be studied in addition to contrast imaging studies. Complete subadventitial resection, with or without prior embolization, which is still controversial, is the mainstay of therapy. Follow-up gains importance due to its nature. Herein, we report a 9-year-old girl presented with a unilateral asymptomatic mass on the neck with a diagnosis of carotid body tumor treated surgically without embolization. We emphasize the specific aspects of the pediatric age group.

    The use of artificial intelligence in interventional cardiology
    (Baycinar Medical Publ-Baycinar Tibbi Yayincilik, 2023) Gocer, Hakan; Durukan, Ahmet Baris
    Artificial intelligence can be employed in many cardiological applications including image analysis, risk assessment, and patient monitoring. In the catheterization laboratory, it can act as a physician assistant, technician, or co-worker. First, by giving voice commands to the operator of the coronary angiography machine, it can ensure that the C-arm moves to the desired angle. It is able to make recommendations for stent size and type based on the analysis of angiography images which is also possible for peripheral and carotid interventions. For transcatheter aortic valve implantation, it can make recommendations for valve placement and size. Artificial intelligence-based image analysis algorithms can be used to support image analysis during catheter laboratory procedures. The challenges include the need for large, high-quality data sets and the development of accurate, reliable, and interpretable artificial intelligence algorithms.

    / wiring (Durukan weave) to prevent sternal cutting by wires: a propensity score matched comparison with Robicsek weave
    (Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2023) Durukan, Ahmet Baris; Gurbuz, Hasan Alper; Durukan, Elif; Zeinalabedini, Hamed; Tunc, Osman
    Introduction: Sternal closure still causes morbidity/mortality following sternotomy. Robicsek weave, cable systems, rigid plates and nitinol clips are systems employed to prevent sternal dehiscence.Aim: The aim was to document the effectiveness of a novel method using standard sternal wires decreasing load on wires and spreading load on the lateral sternum to prevent sternal cutting by wires and thus sternal dehiscence.Material and methods: 756 patients who underwent coronary revascularization with sternotomy between July 2018 and November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Fifty patients with /wiring were compared with 50 patients with Robicsek weave by propensity score matching. / wiring (Durukan weave) spreads load laterally on the sternum by lateral sequential knotting of wires instead of midline knotting. Outcomes were superficial and deep sternal wound infection and non-infectious sternal dehiscence.Results: There were 50 patients in each group. Mean age of the patients was 65.74 & PLUSMN;7.47 in Robicsek weave and 66.12 & PLUSMN;7.23 in Durukan weave. The perioperative characteristics of patients were comparable as propensity score matching was performed. None developed superficial sternal wound infection in Robicsek weave, whereas 2% (1) in /wiring. There was no deep sternal wound infection in each group. Non-infectious sternal dehiscence did not occur in either group.Conclusions: / wiring seems to be a safe and cost-effective method for sternal closure for preventing sternal cutting by wires, therefore preventing sternal wound related problems and dehiscence. The method is cheap, easily applicable and less time consuming than Robicsek weave, which was proven to be the safest method for sternal wire closure.
