Ventricular septal rupture: successful delayed repair.
Claus I, Cathenis K, Goossens D, Ballaux P. Claus I, et al. Among authors: ballaux p. Acta Chir Belg. 2016 Dec;116(6):383-385. doi: 10.1080/00015458.2016.1199352. Epub 2016 Jul 29. Acta Chir Belg. 2016. PMID: 27472167
Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) occurs in approximately 1% of the patients who experience an acute myocardial infarction. The operative mortality of VSR repair decreases if surgery can be delayed until the infarct has healed and tissue strength improved. Because of …

Medium-term outcome of different surgical methods to cure atrial fibrillation: is less worse?
Geuzebroek GS, Ballaux PK, van Hemel NM, Kelder JC, Defauw JJ. Geuzebroek GS, et al. Among authors: ballaux pk. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2008 Apr;7(2):201-6. doi: 10.1510/icvts.2007.159889. Epub 2007 Nov 28. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2008. PMID: 18045831 Free article.
We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who have undergone AF surgery different from the maze III. The surgical lesion sets were pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone, left atrial maze (LAM) and bi-atrial maze (BAM) and were made with different ablation tec …
