Exploring hemodynamic mechanisms and re-intervention strategies for partial false lumen thrombosis in Stanford type B aortic dissection after thoracic aortic endovascular repair.

OBJECTIVES: False lumen (FL) thrombosis status for Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is critical for evaluating aortic remodeling and long-term prognosis. This study aimed to monitor the morphology evolution of partial FL thrombosis (PFLT) and its hemodynamic conditions through an innovative approach, providing a re-intervention strategy from both morphologic and hemodynamic perspectives. METHODS: Three-dimensional geometries are extracted from a five-year follow-up of CTA images for TBAD after TEVAR. The morphology and hemodynamics of PFLT are comprehensively analyzed based on patient-specific reconstructions and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The impact of various strategies treating risk factors of PFLT, including proximal entry closure, left renal artery stenting, or accessory renal artery embolism on hemodynamics is assessed. RESULTS: The introduced morphologic approaches appropriately reflected the evolution of PFLT. Gradual dilation of FL (surface area from 82.63cm2 to 98.84cm2, volume from 45.12 mL to 63.40 mL, increase in distal tear (from 3.72 cm to 4.32 cm), and fluctuation of thrombosis-blood lumen boundary are observed. For further surgical preparation in the absence of unanimously recognized re-intervention indicators, velocity and wall shear stress distributions reveal different simulated re-interventions have distinctly suppressive effects on hemodynamic conditions within the PFLT, providing valuable insights for further surgical preparation. CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrates a re-intervention strategy for PFLT in TBAD patients after TEVAR utilizing morphologic and hemodynamic analyses. Acknowledging the deterioration of PFLT may result in adverse long-term outcomes, this strategy might offer an alternative approach for clinical monitoring and management of related patients.

Quantitative Electroencephalography for Predication of Neurological Dysfunction in Type A Aortic Dissection: A Prospective Observational Study.

BACKGROUND: Type A aortic dissection presents challenges with postoperative cerebral complications, and this study evaluates the predictive value of quantitative electroencephalography for perioperative brain function prognosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) processes raw signals through filtering, amplitude integration, and time compression, displaying the data in a semilogarithmic format. Using this method, postoperative relative band power (post-RBP) α% and dynamic aEEG (ΔaEEG) grade were significantly associated with neurological dysfunction in univariate and multivariable analyses, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.876 (95% CI, 0.825-0.926) for the combined model. Postoperative relative band power α% and ΔaEEG were significantly associated with adverse outcomes, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.903 (95% CI, 0.835-0.971) for the combined model. Postoperative relative band power α% and ΔaEEG were significantly associated with transient neurological dysfunction and stroke, with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.818 (95% CI, 0.760-0.876) and 0.868 (95% CI, 0.810-0.926) for transient neurological dysfunction, and 0.815 (95% CI, 0.743-0.886) and 0.831 (95% CI, 0.746-0.916) for stroke. Among 56 patients, the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography score was superior to ΔaEEG in predicting neurological outcomes (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.872 versus 0.708 [95% CI, 0.633-0.783]; P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Perioperative quantitative electroencephalography monitoring offers valuable insights into brain function changes in patients with type A aortic dissection. ∆aEEG grades can aid in early detection of adverse outcomes, while postoperative relative band power and ∆aEEG grades predict transient neurological dysfunction. Quantitative electroencephalography can assist cardiac surgeons in assessing brain function and improving outcomes in patients with type A aortic dissection.

Patient-reported outcome measures for assessing urinary dysfunction following gender-affirming genital surgery: A narrative review of the literature.

INTRODUCTION: Gender-affirming genital surgery is one of several surgical procedures available to transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) individuals to improve congruence between their gender identity and sex assigned at birth. Despite increasing utilization of these procedures, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess subjective outcomes following gender-affirming genital surgery remain limited. Our aim was to provide a synopsis of PROMs currently being used to evaluate urinary outcomes among TGNB patients following gender-affirming genital surgery and to assess each PROM for content that is relevant to TGNB patients. METHODS: A multidatabase search was performed (Embase and PubMed) using search terms that included transgender, patient-reported outcome measures, questionnaire, and gender-affirming surgery. Studies that assessed subjective outcomes related to urinary outcomes and pelvic floor dysfunction following gender-affirming genital surgery were reviewed. Gender-affirming genital surgery included vaginal reconstruction (vaginoplasty) and penile reconstruction (phalloplasty and metoidioplasty). Included studies were evaluated for relevant content items and summarized in table. RESULTS: Our literature search identified 820 unique articles. Twenty-seven full articles were included in the final review. Until recently, measurement tools have been limited to unvalidated ad hoc questionnaires or PROMs developed for other conditions, such as urinary incontinence or vaginal prolapse, that are validated among the predominantly cisgender general population. Of the selected studies, PROMs used to evaluate urinary and pelvic floor dysfunction following gender-affirming genital surgery included self-construced ad hoc questionnaires (10 studies), Amsterdam Overactive Pelvic Floor Scale (four studies), King's Health Questionnaire (two studies), Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI)-20 (two studies), Sheffield Pelvic Organ Prolapse (one study), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ-UI) (one study), and ICIQ-Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (one study). The PFDI-20 asked about the most relevant symptoms to TGNB patients following genital surgery; however, not all cisgender validated questionnaires included important questions about voiding position, splayed or misdirected stream. The Affirming Surgery Form and Function Individual Reporting Measure (AFFIRM) questionnaire is the first PROM for assessing subjective urinary outcomes that are validated for TGNB individuals, and the GENDER-Q is a promising new PROM with the aim of evaluating outcomes following surgical and other gender-affirming treatments. CONCLUSION: Despite recent advancements, a need remains for standardized assessment tools to evaluate pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary symptoms following gender-affirming genital surgery. Questionnaires developed for the general population to assess symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and other urinary dysfunction do not fully capture the experiences unique to TGNB individuals undergoing this type of surgery. Nonetheless, PROMs validated specifically for TGNB individuals are necessary to more accurately evaluate outcomes of gender-affirming genital surgery, allow for informed patient counseling, and create evidence-based changes to improve these interventions.

Dental Pathophysiology of Odontogenic Sinusitis: Oral Surgical Complications.

The article explores the understudied pathophysiology of odontogenic sinusitis (ODS) development as a result of oral surgical complications such as oroantral communication (OAC) or fistula (OAF), maxillary sinus bone grafting, and dental implantation. A temporary OAC presents most often after dental extraction, especially with posterior maxillary teeth, though can happen with any oral surgical intervention. Maxillary sinus augmentation can also cause ODS, and while the pathophysiology is incompletely understood, it may be related to OAC/OAF formation or bone graft infection. Dental implants may also lead to ODS either via displacement into the sinus, partial protrusion into the sinus, or peri-implantitis.

Non-penetrating filtration surgery versus trabeculectomy in postoperative astigmatism: a meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: Trabeculectomy and non-penetrating trabecular surgery are common operations for glaucoma. This meta-analysis aims to compare the effect of trabeculectomy and non-penetrating trabecular surgery in postoperative astigmatism of patients with glaucoma. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed for studies comparing trabeculectomy and non-penetrating trabecular surgery in patients with glaucoma. The time frame for the search was from the time of construction to April 2024. There were no restrictions regarding study type or type of glaucoma. The endpoint was the surgically induced astigmatism assessed 6 months after operation. We conducted this meta-analysis following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis). RESULTS: Five eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis and presented data for 359 eyes with various types of glaucoma at different stages. The results revealed an increase in astigmatism in patients with glaucoma after trabeculectomy and non-penetrating trabecular surgery. Trabeculectomy had a higher incidence of astigmatism than in the non-penetrating trabecular surgery group at or around 6 months postoperatively, and the difference was statistically significant. (SMD = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.19 to 0.61, P = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that both trabeculectomy and non-penetrating trabecular surgery could increase astigmatism until 6 months after operation. Moreover, non-penetrating trabecular surgery group seems to have less influence on astigmatism. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42024517708.

Should routine pulmonary function tests be performed in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and/or congestive heart failure undergoing cardiac surgery?

BACKGROUND: It is controversial whether pulmonary function testing should be performed routinely in cardiac surgery patients. The aim of our study was to focus on patients who have congestive heart failure, caused by left ventricular dysfunction or left-sided heart valve disease, and study the prognostic value of performing preoperative pulmonary function testing on their postoperative outcomes. METHODS: This is a retrospective propensity score matched study that included 366 patients with congestive heart failure who underwent cardiac surgery and had preoperative pulmonary function test. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 who had a normal or mild reduction in pulmonary function tests and group 2 who had moderate to severe reduction in pulmonary function tests. The postoperative outcomes, including pulmonary complications, were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Pulmonary function tests were normal or mildly reduced in 190 patients (group 1) and moderately to severely reduced in 176 patients (group 2). Propensity matching identified 111 matched pairs in each group with balanced preoperative and operative characteristics. Compared to group 1, Group 2 had longer duration of mechanical ventilation [12 (7.5-16) vs. 9 (6.5-13) hours, p < 0.001], higher postoperative Creatinine [111 (90-142) vs. 105 (81-128) µmol/dl, p = 0.02] and higher hospital mortality (6.31% vs. 0%, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Routine Pulmonary Function Testing should be performed in patients with Left ventricular dysfunction and/or congestive heart failure undergoing cardiac surgery since moderate to severe reduction in those patients was associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation and higher hospital mortality.

The Association of Cerebral Autoregulation Dysfunction and Postoperative Memory Impairment in Cardiac Surgery Patients.

Background and Objectives: Cardiac surgery is associated with various durations of cerebral autoregulation (CA) impairment and can significantly impact cognitive function. Cognitive functions such as memory, psychomotor speed, and attention are significantly impacted after cardiac surgery, necessitating prioritization of these areas in cognitive function tests. There is a lack of research connecting cerebral autoregulation impairment to specific cognitive function domains after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to determine if impaired cerebral autoregulation is associated with postoperative memory impairment and to test the hypothesis that the duration of this impairment affects the development of postoperative memory issues. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted in 2021-2023. After approval of the Ethics Committee and with patient's written consent, 83 adult patients undergoing elective on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery were enrolled. All patients were assessed for cognitive function 1 day before surgery using the Mini-Mental state examination (MMSE-2) test as a screening tool and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) to assess memory specifically. To diagnose possible memory impairment (IM), all patients underwent a repeat assessment of cognitive function on the 7th-10th postoperative day. Cerebral autoregulation monitoring using transcranial Doppler was performed. Cerebral autoregulation status index (Mx) was recorded using Intensive Care Brain Monitoring System software, 9.1.5.23 (Cambridge, UK). Results: According to our research, the incidence of postoperative memory impairment is 30.1%. Temporary cerebral autoregulation impairment occurs in all patients undergoing elective in-pump CABG surgery. The duration of the single longest CA impairment event in seconds (LCAI) and the LCAI dose were higher in patients with postoperative memory impairment, p = 0.006 and p < 0.007, respectively. Conclusions: Cerebral autoregulation impairment is important in developing memory loss after cardiac surgery. The duration and dose of the LCAI event are predictive of postoperative memory impairment.

Predictive value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for the early diagnosis of renal dysfunction after kidney transplantation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the changes in renal cortical microperfusion and quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) parameters after kidney transplantation, and to determine the evidence-based value of CEUS in predicting renal dysfunction. METHODS: The Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant studies published from 2000 to 2023 on the use of CEUS to assess the renal cortical microcirculation after kidney transplantation. Subject terms and related keywords were combined, and a meta-analysis and systematic review were performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. RESULTS: The search yielded six studies involving 451 patients with moderate to high overall quality. The peak intensity (standardized mean difference [SMD]: -0.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] -1.13 to -0.15, p = 0.01) of CEUS was significantly lower in patients with renal dysfunction than in those with stable renal function. However, the time to peak (SMD: 0.28, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.52, p = 0.02) was significantly shorter in patients with renal dysfunction than in those with stable renal function. The total renal cortical microperfusion and renal cortical perfusion intensity were decreased, and the perfusion time was prolonged, in patients with renal dysfunction after kidney transplantation. CONCLUSION: CEUS parameters can reflect real-time changes in renal cortical microperfusion, thus providing a basis for the early diagnosis of renal dysfunction after kidney transplantation.

Altered Microvascular Reactivity During a Skin Thermal Challenge Is Associated With Organ Dysfunction and Slow Recovery After Cardiac Surgery.

OBJECTIVES: To assess microvascular reactivity during a skin thermal challenge early post-cardiac surgery and its association with outcomes. DESIGN: Noninvasive physiological study. SETTING: Thirty-five-bed department of intensive care. PARTICIPANTS: Patients admitted to the intensive care unit post-cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Thermal challenge. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: A total of 46 patients were included; 14 needed vasoactive or ventilatory support for at least 48 hours (slow recovery), and 32 had a more rapid recovery. Skin blood flow (SBF) was measured on the anterior proximal forearm using skin laser Doppler. A thermal challenge was performed by abruptly increasing local skin temperature from 37°C to 43°C while monitoring SBF. The ratio between SBFs at 43°C and 37°C was calculated to measure microvascular reactivity. SBF at 37°C was not significantly different in patients with a slow recovery and those with a rapid recovery, but SBF after 9 minutes at 43°C was lower (48.5 [17.3-69.0] v 85.1 [45.2-125.7], p < 0.01), resulting in a lower SBF ratio (2.8 [1.5-4.7] v 4.8 [3.7-7.8], p < 0.01). Patients with lower SBF ratios were more likely to have dysfunction of at least one organ (assessed using the sequential organ dysfunction score) 48 hours post-cardiac surgery than those with higher ratios: 88% versus 40% versus 27% (p < 0.01), respectively, for the lowest, middle, and highest tertiles of SBF ratio. In multivariable analysis, a lower SBF ratio was an independent risk factor for slow recovery. CONCLUSIONS: Early alterations in microvascular reactivity, evaluated by a skin thermal challenge, are correlated with organ dysfunction. These observations may help in the development of new, simple, noninvasive monitoring systems in postoperative patients.

Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Cardiac Surgery: A Narrative Review.

Cardiac relaxation is a complex process that involves various interconnected characteristics and, along with contractile properties, determines stroke volume. Perioperative ischemia-reperfusion injury and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) are characterized by the left ventricle's inability to receive a sufficient blood volume under adequate preload. Baseline DD and perioperative DD have an impact on postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and major clinical outcomes in a variety of cardiac pathologies. Several baseline and perioperative factors, such as age, female sex, hypertension, left ventricle hypertrophy, diabetes, and perioperative ischemia-reperfusion injury, contribute to the risk of DD. The recommended diagnostic criteria available in guidelines have not been validated in the perioperative settings and still need clarification. Timely diagnosis of DD might be crucial for effectively treating postoperative low cardiac output syndrome. This implies the need for an individualized approach to fluid infusion strategy, cardiac rate and rhythm control, identification of extrinsic causes, and administration of drugs with lusitropic effects. The purpose of this review is to consolidate scattered information on various aspects of diastolic dysfunction in cardiac surgery and provide readers with well-organized and clinically applicable information.

Outcomes of maze procedure and mitral valve surgery in atrial functional mitral regurgitation: a retrospective study.

BACKGROUND: Atrial functional mitral regurgitation (AFMR) is a newly discovered condition associated with longstanding atrial fibrillation. This retrospective study aimed to analyze the outcomes of the maze procedure and mitral regurgitation (MR) surgery in AFMR and atrial fibrillation in comparison with those in degenerative MR (DMR). METHODS: Patients who underwent mitral valve repair/replacement with a maze procedure at a hospital (July 2012-August 2021) were included. We excluded patients aged below 18 years undergoing concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting or atrial septal defect repair and those with MR etiology other than ARMR or DMR. RESULTS: We included 35 patients with AFMR and 50 patients with DMR. Patient characteristics and postoperative outcomes were not significantly different between the two groups. Long-term outcomes revealed no significant differences in the ratio of cardiac mortality, stroke, or hospital readmission. However, after the maze procedure, the sinus rhythm restoration rate was significantly lower (62% vs. 28.5%, p < 0.001), a junctional rhythm state (p < 0.001) and permanent pacemaker insertion for sick sinus syndrome (SSS) (p = 0.03) were significantly more common in AFMR than DMR. On postoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), the pulmonary artery systolic pressure was significantly less decreased in the AFMR group than in the DMR group compared with that on preoperative TTE (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: AFMR showed excellent mitral valve surgery outcomes, similar to DMR, but had a significantly higher risk of pacemaker insertion for SSS after the maze procedure.

Impact of Transplant Body Mass Index and Post-Transplant Weight Changes on the Development of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction Phenotypes.

INTRODUCTION: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is a lung transplant complication for which four phenotypes are recognized: Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), Restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS), mixed and undefined phenotypes. Weight gain is common after transplant and may negatively impact lung function. Study objectives were to describe post-transplant weight trajectories of patients who developed (or did not) CLAD phenotypes and examine the associations between BMI at transplant, post-transplant changes in weight and BMI, and the risk of developing these phenotypes. METHODS: Adults who underwent a bilateral lung transplant between 2000 and 2020 at our institution were categorized as having (or not) one of the four CLAD phenotypes based on the proposed classification system. Demographic, anthropometric, and clinical data were retrospectively collected from medical records and analyzed. RESULTS: Study population included 579 recipients (412 [71.1%] CLAD-free, 81 [14.0%] BOS, 20 [3.5%] RAS, 59 [10.2%] mixed, and 7 [1.2%] undefined phenotype). Weight gains of greater amplitude were seen in recipients with restrictive phenotypes than CLAD-free and BOS patients within the first five years post-transplant. While the BMI category at transplant was not statistically associated with the risk of developing CLAD phenotypes, an increase in weight (Hazard ratio [HR]: 1.04, 95% CI [1.01-1.08]; P = .008) and BMI (HR: 1.13, 95% CI [1.03-1.23]; P = .008) over the post-transplant period was associated with a greater risk of RAS. CONCLUSION: Post-LTx gain in weight and BMI modestly increased the risk of RAS, adding to the list of unfavorable outcomes associated with weight gain following transplant.

Role of Intraoperative Electroencephalography in Predicting Postoperative Delirium in Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgeries.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the utility of electroencephalography (EEG) in predicting postoperative delirium (POD) in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgeries with EEG monitoring. METHODS: A total of 1161 patients who underwent cardiovascular surgeries with EEG monitoring were included in the study, and their data were retrospectively reviewed. POD assessment was done utilizing Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC). Patients with a score of > 4 on ICDSC were diagnosed with POD. RESULTS: Of 1161 patients, 131 patients had EEG changes and 56 (42.74%) of 131 patients experienced POD. Of 1030 patients without EEG changes, 219 (21.26%) experienced POD. EEG showed specificity of 91.5% and negative predictive value of 78.7% in detecting POD. On multivariable analysis, EEG changes showed a strong association with POD (ORadj 1.97 CI (1.30-2.99), p = 0.001) with persistent EEG changes showing even a higher risk of developing POD (ORadj 2.65 (1.43-4.92), p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: EEG change has specificity of 91.5% emphasizing the need for its implementation as a diagnostic tool for predicting POD. Patients with POD are two times more likely to experience significant EEG changes, especially persistent EEG changes when undergoing cardiovascular surgeries. SIGNIFICANCE: Intraoperative EEG can detect POD, and EEG changes based therapeutic interventions can mitigate POD.

Cerebrovascular dysregulation and postoperative cognitive alterations after carotid endarterectomy.

There are controversial data about the effect of carotid endarterectomy regarding postoperative cognitive function. Our aim was to analyze the effect of cerebral tissue saturation monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) on cognitive function. Perioperative data of 103 asymptomatic patients undergoing elective carotid surgery under general anesthesia were analyzed. Preoperatively and 3 months after the operation, MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) and MoCA (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) tests were conducted. For cerebral monitoring, NIRS was used, and the lowest rSO2 value and the degree of desaturation were calculated. Cognitive changes were defined as one standard deviation change from the preoperative test scores, defined as postoperative neurocognitive decline (PNCD) and cognitive improvement (POCI). PNCD was found in 37 patients (35.92%), and POCI was found in 18 patients (17.47%). Female gender, patients with diabetes, and the degree of desaturation were independently associated with PNCD. The degree of desaturation during the cross-clamp period negatively correlated with the change in the MoCA scores (R = - 0.707, p = 0.001). The 15.5% desaturation ratio had 86.5% sensitivity and 78.8% specificity for discrimination. For POCI, a desaturation of less than 12.65% had 72.2% sensitivity and 67.1% specificity. POCI was associated with lower preoperative MOCA scores and a lower degree of desaturation. We found a significant relation between the change of postoperative cognitive function proven by the MoCA test and cerebral tissue saturation during the clamping period in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.

Outcomes and complications of revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty after failed primary anatomic shoulder arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty: a systematic review.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to systematically review the evidence in the literature to ascertain the functional outcomes, range of motion (ROM), and complication and reoperation rates after revision reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for a failed primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) or hemiarthroplasty (HA). METHODS: Two independent reviewers performed the literature search based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using the EMBASE, MEDLINE, and The Cochrane Library databases. Studies were included if they reported clinical outcomes for revision RSA for a failed primary TSA or HA. RESULTS: Our review found 23 studies including 1041 shoulders (627 TSA and 414 HA) meeting our inclusion criteria. The majority of patients were female (66.1%), with an average age of 69.0 years (range: 39-93 years) and a mean follow-up of 46.3 months. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and visual analog scale pain scores improved from 32.6 to 61.9 and 6.7 to 2.7, respectively. ROM results include forward flexion, abduction, and external rotation, which improved from 59.4° to 107.7°, 50.7° to 104.4°, and 19.8° to 26.3°, respectively. Only 1 of the 10 studies reporting internal rotation found a statistically significant difference, with the mean internal rotation improving from S1-S3 preoperatively to L4-L5 postoperatively for patients undergoing HA. The overall complication rate and reoperation rate were 23.4% and 12.5%, respectively. The most common complications were glenoid component loosening (6.0%), fracture (periprosthetic, intraoperative, or other scapula fractures) (n = 4.7%), and infection (n = 3.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Revision RSA for a failed primary TSA and HA has been shown to result in excellent functional outcomes and improved ROM, suggesting that patients who have failed TSA or HA may benefit from a revision RSA.
