Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos : a symbol of Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian friendship
No full textTwo Serbian texts extol the contribution of Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos to the Balkan joint effort to throw off the Ottoman yoke. These texts are analysed by the author within the historical framework of their period, so that the man’s personality and work may be accurately evaluated from a fresh viewpoint. More specifically, the author conducts a research on the tombstone of Dimitrios Tsamis Karatasos, which he discovered himself at Naoussa, and the octet engraved on it, which is also published here. The work is illustrated by seven plates, of which four have not been published previously

Progression and interventional therapy of a coronary pseudoaneurysm: a case report
No full textAbstract Background Coronary pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) occur as a rare complication following drug-eluting stent implantation and have been reported to occur between 1 week and 4 years after implantation. Most of them remain in a stable state, but progression of PSAs increases the risk of rupture and haemorrhagic cardiac tamponade. Case summary Here, we present a case of a 55-year-old patient, who developed a PSA of the proximal left circumflex artery after stent implantation of the left main artery, left anterior descending artery, and left circumflex artery. Within <1 year, the patient was readmitted to different hospitals due to cardiac decompensation and myocardial infarction. Thereafter, coronary angiography and computed tomography scans were performed, and progression of the PSA could be documented. Interventional therapy was chosen due to the high surgical risk of the patient. Implantation of a covered stent from the left main artery into the left anterior descending artery was chosen to treat the PSA, thereby silencing the chronically occluded left circumflex artery, followed by dilatation with a non-compliant balloon. The patient has remained asymptomatic in a 6-month follow-up. Discussion Coronary PSA should be controlled with respect to progression, and appropriate therapy can be chosen for treatment
The Exemplary Life of Dimitrios Vikelas (1835-1908)
No full textThis paper describes the "satisfying curve" of Dimitrios Vikelas' life journey, starting from Syros in 1835, moving via Constantinople, Odessa, and Syros again, to London, Paris and finally Athens. It explores Vikelas' multiple aspects, as merchant, writer, traveller, lecturer and essayist, Olympic founder, educationalist, book collector and philanthropist, all of which were united in the public-spirited man of letters (logios). It sets Vikelas in the context of the Greek commercial diaspora, the world of the London expatriate Greek community, and the dynamic society of late nineteenth-century Athens, beginning in the 1870s to act as a magnet to Greek expatriates. The author stresses two qualities of Vikelas: his belief in the idea of a progressive Greek state marked by advances in education, culture, tourism and standards of public life; and the self-awareness and experience which inform his autobiographical writings, not only his memoir My Life but also his last such work, The War of 1897
Transcatheter implantation of a self-expanding bioprosthetic aortic valve for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis: the effect on aortic mechanical properties
No full textIntroduction: Mechanical aortic properties have been shown to transiently deteriorate in the early post-operative after surgical interventions in the aortic valve (or root) replacement. Aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk and mortality. Aim: To evaluate the effect of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) on ascending aorta's elasticity. Methods: Aortic stiffness indices were measured non-invasively (echocardiographically) at baseline, 7 days and 1 month post TAVI and invasively (angiographically) acutely pre- and post- TAVI. Invasive evaluation was conducted for two levels of the ascending aorta (3 cm and 6 cm above aortic valve). Results: A total of 30 patients (47% males) were studied with a mean age of 79.9 ± 4.7 years. No significant changes in aortic stiffness indices (aortic distensibility, aortic compliance, aortic stiffness index) were observed. In particular, aortic distensibility remained unchanged post-TAVI as evaluated both non-invasively (from 1.89 ± 1.11 at baseline, to 2.05 ± 1.50 at 7 days post-TAVI, to 1.84 ± 1.34 cm2/(dynes*106); p=0.497) and invasively (at the 3 cm above aortic valve level: from 0.88 ± 0.44 pre- to 0.82 ± 0.47 cm2/(dynes*106) post- TAVI, p=0.637. Results were similar at the 6 cm above aortic valve level. Conclusion: TAVI has no effect on mechanical properties of the ascending aorta in the early post-operative period (up to 1 month).Εισαγωγή: Προηγούμενες μελέτες έχουν δείξει μία παροδική επιδείνωση των μηχανικών ιδιοτήτων της αορτής μετά από χειρουργική αντικατάσταση αορτικής βαλβίδας (ή ρίζας) (ΑΒ). Η αορτική ελαστικότητα αποτελεί ανεξάρτητο προγνωστικό παράγοντα καρδιαγγειακού κινδύνου και θνησιμότητας. Στόχος: Να διερευνηθεί η επίδραση της διακαθετηριακής εμφύτευσης ΑΒ στην ελαστικότητα της αορτής. Μέθοδος: Η αορτική ελαστικότητα εκτιμήθηκε μη επεμβατικά (υπερηχογραφικά) πριν, 7 ημέρες και 1 μήνα μετεπεμβατικά. Οι αορτικές ελαστικές ιδιότητες μελετήθηκαν, επίσης, με επεμβατικό τρόπο (αγγειογραφικά) σε δύο επίπεδα (3 και 6 cm ύπερθεν της ΑΒ) αμέσως πριν και αμέσως μετά την επέμβαση. Αποτελέσματα: Μελετήθηκαν 30 ασθενείς (47% άνδρες) μέσης ηλικίας 79,9 ± 4,7 ετών. Δεν παρατηρήθηκαν σημαντικές μεταβολές των δεικτών ελαστικότητας που υπολογίστηκαν μετά την επέμβαση (αορτική διατασιμότητα, αορτική ενδοτικότητα, δείκτης αορτικής σκληρίας). Συγκεκριμένα, η αορτική διατασιμότητα παρέμεινε αμετάβλητη τόσο κατά την υπερηχογραφική αξιολόγηση: από 1,89 ± 1,11 (αρχικά), σε 2,05 ± 1,50 (7 ημέρες μετά) και 1,84 ± 1,34 cm2/(dynes*106) (1 μήνα μετά) - p=0,497, όσο και κατά την αγγειογραφική αξιολόγηση. Ειδικότερα, στο επίπεδο των 3 cm ύπερθεν της ΑΒ, η αορτική διατασιμότητα παρέμεινε αμετάβλητη από 0,88 ± 0,44 (αμέσως πριν) σε 0,82 ± 0,47 cm2/(dynes*106) (αμέσως μετά την επέμβαση), p=0,637. Αντίστοιχα ήταν τα αποτελέσματα για το επίπεδο των 6 cm ύπερθεν της ΑΒ. Συμπέρασμα: Η διακαθετηριακή εμφύτευση ΑΒ δεν επιδρά στις μηχανικές ιδιότητες της ανιούσας αορτής κατά την βραχυπρόθεσμη μετεπεμβατική περίοδο (1 μήνας)
