61	Interventions innovantes dans le traitement des maladies valvulaires mitrales et aortiques : options de traitement actuelles et perspectives futures El Yamani, Nidal 08 1900 (has links) Les maladies valvulaires constituent une cause importante de morbidité et de mortalité. Dans les pays industrialisés, l’insuffisance mitrale et la sténose aortique sont les pathologies valvulaires les plus fréquentes et leur prévalence augmentent avec l’âge. Étant donné l’augmentation de l’espérance de vie dans ces pays, la prévalence des valvulopathies dégénératives deviendra plus importante et aura un impact non négligeable sur la santé publique. Les avancées en chirurgie cardiaque ainsi que les nouvelles percées en cardiologie interventionnelle ont modifié considérablement la prise en charge des patients avec des valvulopathies en offrant des approches minimalement invasives, surtout pour les patients à haut risque chirurgical. Dans le cadre de ce mémoire, deux études rétrospectives de cohorte ont été réalisées. La première consiste à comparer les résultats postopératoires et sur trois ans de la chirurgie conventionnelle par rapport à la procédure transcathéter MitraClip chez 259 patients avec une insuffisance mitrale ischémique sévère. La deuxième étude compare les résultats postopératoires de trois approches de remplacement de la valve aortique, soit la sternotomie, la ministernotomie et la minithoracotomie. La première étude permet de conclure que la procédure MitraClip a un taux de mortalité postopératoire et sur 3 ans inférieur à celui de la chirurgie mais qu’elle est associée à un plus haut taux de récurrence de l’insuffisance mitrale après 3 ans. La deuxième étude démontre que les deux approches minimalement invasives, la ministernotomie et la mini-thoracotomie, ont un taux équivalent de mortalité intra-hospitalier à la sternotomie. La mini-thoracotomie est associée à moins de saignement périopératoire et moins de douleur au repos que la sternotomie. En conclusion, les approches minimalement invasives offrent une excellente alternative à la chirurgie conventionnelle dans le traitement de la maladie valvulaire. Les bénéfices cliniques sont d’autant plus évidents lorsque les patients sont adéquatement sélectionnés; d’où l’importance d’une ‘Heart Team’ qui collabore pour une meilleure prise en charge des patients. / Valvular heart disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In western countries, mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis are the most frequent valvular pathologies and their prevalence increases with age. With the increase in life expectancy in these countries, the prevalence of degenerative valve disease will increase with a significant burden on healthcare systems. Advances in cardiac surgery as well as new breakthroughs in interventional cardiology have considerably modified the management of patients with valvular disease, by offering minimally invasive approaches, especially for patients at high surgical risk. In this thesis, two retrospective cohort studies were carried out. The first compares the postoperative and 3 years outcomes of mitral valve surgery vs MitraClip, a transcatheter procedure, in 259 patients with severe ischemic mitral regurgitation. The second study compares the postoperative results of two minimally invasive techniques (ministernotomy and minithoracotomy) for aortic valve replacement to conventional sternotomy. In the first study, MitraClip procedure had lower postoperative and 3-year mortality rate than surgery, but it was associated with higher recurrence rate of mitral regurgitation after 3 years. The second study showed that the two minimally invasive approaches had similar intrahospital mortality rate to sternotomy. Minithoracotomy was associated with less perioperative bleeding and less pain at rest than sternotomy. In conclusion, minimally invasive approaches offer an excellent alternative to conventional surgery in the treatment of valvular disease. The clinical benefits are more highlighted when patients are properly selected; hence the importance of a "Heart Team" that collaborates for better patient care.

Pulane 24 April 2013 (has links) Advances in medical technology have altered the need for certain types of surgery to be performed in traditional inpatient hospital settings. Less invasive surgical procedures allow a growing number of medical treatments to take place on an outpatient basis. Hospitals face growing competition from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The competitive threats posed by ASCs are important, given that inpatient surgery has been the cornerstone of hospital services for over a century. Additional research is needed to understand how surgical volume shifts between and within acute care general hospitals (ACGHs) and ASCs. This study investigates how medical technology within the hospital industry is changing medical services delivery. The main purposes of this study are to (1) test Clayton M. Christensen’s theory of disruptive innovation in health care, and (2) examine the effects of disruptive innovation on appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and bariatric surgery (ACBS) utilization. Disruptive innovation theory contends that advanced technology combined with innovative business models—located outside of traditional product markets or delivery systems—will produce simplified, quality products and services at lower costs with broader accessibility. Consequently, new markets will emerge, and conventional industry leaders will experience a loss of market share to “non-traditional” new entrants into the marketplace. The underlying assumption of this work is that ASCs (innovative business models) have adopted laparoscopy (innovative technology) and their unification has initiated disruptive innovation within the hospital industry. The disruptive effects have spawned shifts in surgical volumes from open to laparoscopic procedures, from inpatient to ambulatory settings, and from hospitals to ASCs. The research hypothesizes that: (1) there will be larger increases in the percentage of laparoscopic ACBS performed than open ACBS procedures; (2) ambulatory ACBS will experience larger percent increases than inpatient ACBS procedures; and (3) ASCs will experience larger percent increases than ACGHs. The study tracks the utilization of open, laparoscopic, inpatient and ambulatory ACBS. The research questions that guide the inquiry are: 1. How has ACBS utilization changed over this time? 2. Do ACGHs and ASCs differ in the utilization of ACBS? 3. How do states differ in the utilization of ACBS? 4. Do study findings support disruptive innovation theory in the hospital industry? The quantitative study employs a panel design using hospital discharge data from 2004 and 2009. The unit of analysis is the facility. The sampling frame is comprised of ACGHs and ASCs in Florida and Wisconsin. The study employs exploratory and confirmatory data analysis. This work finds that disruptive innovation theory is an effective model for assessing the hospital industry. The model provides a useful framework for analyzing the interplay between ACGHs and ASCs. While study findings did not support the stated hypotheses, the impact of government interventions into the competitive marketplace supports the claims of disruptive innovation theory. Regulations that intervened in the hospital industry facilitated interactions between ASCs and ACGHs, reducing the number of ASCs performing ACBS and altering the trajectory of ACBS volume by shifting surgeries from ASCs to ACGHs.
