Ambient temperature and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurism: a retrospective study from Bosnia and Herzegovina Muhamed Djedović, Armin Sljivo, Bedrudin Banjanovic1, Haris Vukas, Edin Kabil, Alden Begic, Samed Djedović Medicinski Glasnik, 2026 <p><strong>Introduction.</strong> Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) is a life-threatening emergency with high mortality. While conventional risk factors are well recognized, emerging evidence suggests environmental temperature may also influence rupture risk. This relationship has not been studied in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between ambient temperature and RAAA incidence.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective observational study was conducted at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo between January 2021 and February 2025. Data from 105 RAAA patients were analyzed using demographic, clinical, and temperature data, with time series analysis assessing patterns around rupture events.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> The mean patient age was 71.5 ± 7.6 years; 86.7% were male. The average aneurysm diameter was 85.1 ± 17.7 mm. Hypertension (68.6%), smoking (55.2%), and diabetes (37.7%) were the most prevalent comorbidities. The mortality rate was 38.7%. Most ruptures occurred during colder months, with a peak in January (16.1%) and a low in August, March, and February (each 4.7%). The mean ambient temperature during the 10 days before rupture was 11.41 ± 6.16 °C, not significantly different from the temperature on the rupture day (p = 0.991). However, minimum daily temperature was significantly lower than the mean daily temperature on rupture days (6.48 ± 5.92 °C vs. 11.42 ± 17.61 °C; p < 0.001).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> A seasonal RAAA pattern with winter clustering was observed, but no consistent short-term link to ambient temperature was found, warranting further study with advanced models.</p>

Justification of Screening for Peripheral Arterial Disease in the Elderly Population Through Clinical and Financial Cost-benefit Analysis Muhamed Djedovic, Bedrudin Banjanovic, Amel Hadzimehmedagic, Ilirijana Karabdic, Tarik Selimovic, Damir Kurtagic, Edin Kabil, Slavenka Straus Acta Informatica Medica, 2025 Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic condition of reduced blood flow through the arteries. Early detection and prevention of PAD, especially in at-risk populations, is crucial to reducing morbidity and mortality. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the clinical feasibility of vascular ultrasound screening for early detection of PAD, as well as potential financial savings through preventive measures. Methods: The study was conducted as a prospectively designed cross-sectional study with retrospective sample analysis, in which the sample consisted of 826 patients over 60 years of age, of both sexes, divided into two groups, conducted from January 2023 to May 2024. Results: The study included 826 patients aged 60 and over, divided into two groups after ultrasound examination of the arteries (Group A with atherosclerosis /63.8%/; Group B - without atherosclerosis /36.2%/). The average age was 65.44±5.9 years, 60-65 years was 64.3%, and over 65 years was 35.7%. A statistically significant difference was recorded between the analyzed groups in terms of comorbidities and risk factors. We found that age, gender, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking and chronic obstructive disease have a significant relationship with the degree of atherosclerosis. Multivariate analysis showed that the age of the subjects, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and smoking are significant predictors of atherosclerosis. The prevalence for hemodynamically significant stenosis of ACI/ACC was 5.0%, for peripheral arteries 4.2%, the prevalence of aneurysm abdominal aorta (>3 cm) was 2.3%, and 0.5% for diameter >5 cm. Conclusion: The results show the high efficiency of ultrasound diagnostics in identifying asymptomatic patients with advanced atherosclerosis, emphasizing the need for better organization of preventive programs, which could lead to potential savings in healthcare costs through earlier detection and treatment.
Comparison between conventional open-heart valve surgery and minimally invasive valve replacement surgery regarding the length of hospital stay and usage of blood derivates: insights from a single-centre, single-surgeon study conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina Nermir Granov, Amel Hadžimehmedagić, Armin Šljivo, Tarik Selimović, Damir Kurtagić, Edin Kabil, Muhamed Djedović, Arian Abdulkhaliq Medicinski Glasnik, 2024 <p><strong>Aim<br /></strong> To analyse the correlation between different surgical methodologies employed in valve diseases treatment and their subsequent impact on the duration of hospitalization. <br /><strong>Methods<br /></strong> This retrospective study conducted at the Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo analysed medical records of 163 valve disease patients treated between January 2019 and November 2022. The patients were divided into two groups: 77 had openheart valve surgery and 86 underwent minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). <br /><strong>Results<br /></strong> The mean duration of the surgical procedures was 3.9±1.3 hours, with conventional open-heart surgery requiring an average of 3.6±1.1 hours and minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) procedure 4.2±1.5 hours. No substantial disparities were found in the total length of hospitalization between the two groups, as both conventional (8.2±4.5 days) and MICS (8.7±7.0 days) demonstrated similar duration. Similarly, the total duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay displayed similarity, with conventional surgery patients staying an average of 3.9±2.8 days and MICS patients of 4.2±4.1 days. The pattern of blood transfusion and fresh-frozen plasma usage revealed higher rates in the conventional valve surgery group comparing to the MICS group. <br /><strong>Conclusion<br /></strong> Minimally invasive valve surgery, despite slightly longer operative times, resulted in lower blood transfusion requirements and comparable hospitalization and ICU stay.</p>
Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass (MICS CABG) in Bosnia and Herzegovina: a single centre, single surgeon cohort experience Nermir Granov, Armin Šljivo, Ermina Mujičić, Damir Rebić, Alen Džubur, Edin Begić, Tarik Selimović, Zlatan Zvizdić, Almir Fajkić, Asmir Jonuzi, Edin Kabil, Slavenka Štraus Medicinski Glasnik, 2023 <p><strong>Aim <br /></strong>This is the first research in Bosnia and Herzegovina presenting minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting surgery<br />(MICS CABG) experience, advantages, and outcomes as compared to conventional surgery (OPEN CABG).<br /><strong>Methods</strong> <br />This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2019 and November 2022 and included patients<br />with indication for surgical revascularization.<br /><strong>Results</strong> <br />Among 237 patients, males predominated, 182 (76.7%), with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 28.4±3.9, median The Society of Thoracic Surgery Risk (STS) score of 1.55 (0.8, 4.0), short term STS score of 11.2 (6.8, 23.7), mean age of 64.8±8.7 (ranging 41-83) years, 122 (51.4%) underwent OPEN CABG and 115 (48.6%) MICS CABG. MICS CABG took less time (p<0.001; OPEN 3.5±0.8h; MICS 2.8±0.8h) and needed less mechanical ventilation (p<0.001, OPEN 17.3±11.9h; MICS 13.0±12.5h) than OPEN CABG. Even though there was no difference in hospitalization length between groups (OPEN (7.5±3.2), MICS (7.1±4.0)), patients receiving MICS (2.9±1.5) spent less time in the ICU (p=0.0013) than OPEN CABG (3.6±2.8). OPEN CABG used also more blood derivatives, red blood cells (OPEN 292 vs MICS 55), plasma (OPEN 270 vs MICS 86) and platelets (OPEN 71 vs MICS 28).<br /><strong>Conclusion</strong> <br />Patients undergoing MICS CABG in Bosnia and Herzegovina had less mechanical ventilation hours and less ICU duration compared to OPEN CABG even though the hospitalization duration was very similar. MICS CABG takes less time to be conducted, has fewer CPRs postoperatively, uses less blood derivatives including red blood cells, plasma and platelets.</p>
Minimally invasive mini-thoracotomy access as a surgical method in state-of-the-art treatment of single-vessel coronary heart disease Edin Kabil, Nermir Granov, Ilirijana Haxibeqiri-Karabdić, Sanja Grabovica, Ermina Mujičić, Slavenka Štraus, Bedrudin Banjanović, Muhamed Djedović Medicinski Glasnik, 2023 <p><strong>Aim <br /></strong>To compare outcomes of two different surgical techniques of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for treating isolated left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery disease by full median sternotomy technique vs. minimally invasive approach via left anterior mini-thoracotomy.<br /><strong>Methods</strong> <br />This retrospective, observational study, which included 61 elective patients, was conducted at the Clinic for Cardiovascular Surgery of the Clinical Centre of the University of Sarajevo in the period from June 2019 to January 2022. Patients were divided in two groups according to the operative technique used, the sternotomy CABG group of 30 patients where the access considered full median sternotomy, and the minimally invasive CABG group where left anterior mini-thoracotomy was performed. The groups were compared by previously defined primary and secondary clinical postoperative outcomes.<br /><strong>Results</strong> <br />Out of 61 patients, the majority was males, 50 (82%). The analysis of the outcomes of the minimally invasive CABG surgery showed significantly shorter operative times (p=0.001), less postoperative drainage (p=0.001) and transfusion requirements, shorter mechanical ventilation duration (p=0.0001), low major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events rates, as well as shorter Intensive Care Unit stay days with mean of 3.3±1.442 days (p=0.025), but no total hospital stay days with mean of 6.7±1.832 days (p=0.075) compared to sternotomy CABG group.<br /><strong>Conclusion</strong> <br />Minimally invasive approach for CABG surgery in treating isolated single vessel LAD disease, together with the fasttrack protocol, offers a reasonable alternative to full median sternotomy, leading to faster patients’ overall recovery and improving the quality of life. </p>
How Important Impact of Low Level of Hematocrit Can Be on Outcome in Patients Undergoing Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery? Slavenka Straus, Ilirijana Karabdic, Sanja Grabovica, Amel Hadzimehmedagic, Muhamed Djedovic, Edin Kabil, Tarik Selimovic, Nermir Granov Acta Informatica Medica, 2023 Background: Cardiosurgical patients can be often anemic, and preoperative anaemia is associated with increased postoperative complications, as well as morbidity and mortality. Objective: The present study was conducted aiming to determine the influence of lower preoperative hematocrit values on the early postoperative recovery of patients undergoing elective off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods: Our retrospective study included 150 patients who underwent elective OPCABG surgery from September 2021 to December 2022 at the Clinic for Cardiovascular Surgery University of Sarajevo. Patients were divided into two groups, anemic and non-anemic, with anemia defined as hemoglobin level <130g/l males and <120g/l females. Study observed comorbidities and early postoperative data. Results: Overall prevalence of anemia in OPCABG patients was 36,6%, more frequent among older patients. Comorbidities as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, ejection fraction was quite similar in both groups, but body mass index was significantly higher in the group of patients with anemia (29.9% vs 28.4%). In early recovery period, vasopressors were more used in patients with anemia (63.6% vs 42.1%) and their doses were higher. Total drainage was higher in patients with anemia (744.45±45.72 ml vs 681.58±349.06 ml). Number of transfusions was higher in the group of patients with anemia: red blood cells (0.89±1.29 vs 0.29±0.84; p<0,05), fresh frozen plasma (0.65±1.13 vs 0.41±1.15; p<0,05) and platelets (0.11±0.57 vs 0,07±0.42; p>0,05). Duration of mechanical ventilation was longer in patients with anemia compared to non-anemic patients (623-91±259.83 minutes vs 469±191.13 minutes). Atrial fibrillation occurred more often in patients with anemia (12.7 vs 7.4%). Length of stay in the intensive care unit was without significant difference. Conclusion: Based on our findings, patients who underwent elective OPCABG with lower than normal hematocrit, needed more blood and blood products, more vasopressor drugs in higher doses, longer mechanical ventilation, all which can prolong the patient’s recovery and increase the cost of treatment.
Off pump Versus On pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Short-term Outcomes Ilirijana Karabdic, Slavenka Strauss, Nermir Granov, Amel Hadzimehmedagic, Edin Kabil, Muhamed Djedovi, Damir Kurtagic, Behija Berberovic Acta Informatica Medica, 2023 Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major public health issue and a leading cause of death globally. It is one of the most common indications for surgical intervention. There are a lot of different techniques, including CABG, which consists of two approaches: sternotomy and mini-thoracotomy. Different techniques have been developed to improve surgical outcomes, including the use of machine for extracorporal circulation (on-pump) or without it (off-pump). Objective: The objective of this study was to assess whether off-pump CABG offers superior short-term outcomes compared to traditional on-pump CABG in patients undergoing isolated CABG.. Methods: In period between 2022 – 2023, we performed CABG operation in 80 patients. CABG was performed either on- pump or off-pump. Results: The results have shown advantages and disadvantages of one or another type of CABG. We were comparing the duration of surgical procedure, time on mechanical ventilation, drainage volume, neurological incidents, time to discharge, indication for repeat revascularization and mortality between two groups. Conclusion: The choice of surgical technique should be based on individual patient factors, including comorbidities and surgical risks. It is important to say that OPCABG is more challenging than ONCABG, and it is very important that OPCABG is done by skilled, experienced and confident surgeon, which contributes to better outcome and survival.
Non Invasive Detection of Coronary Sinus Flow Changes over Time after CABG Bedrudin Banjanovic, Ilirijana Karabic, Slavenka Straus, Nermir Granov, Edin Kabil, Malik Jakirlic, Ilijaz Pilav, Muhamed Djedovic Acta Informatica Medica, 2022 Background: Coronary New blood in the vascular bed after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) may represent a turning point between ischemia and normal tissue nutrition. Its quantification can help to better understand coronary artery hemodynamics after revascularization. Objective: Quantification of coronary sinus blood flow changes over time after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) using Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE). Methods: Prospective basic research, with repeated measurements on hospital sample of 61 patients whom CABG was conducted. We performed TTE recordings to measure CS flow before and two times after CABG (1 and 6 postoperative day). We measure CS diameter, Velocity Time Integral (VTI) and systemic hemodynamic data. Data needed for LV mass calculation were recorded once. During statistical analysis we define: α = 0,01, β = 0,01 (power = 1- β β= 0,99), Sample size = 60, Effect size= 0,68. We used ANOVA for Repeated Measures as main statistical test in SPSS. Results: Preoperatively we found low overall CS flow of 181 ±72 ml/min (0,68 ±0,30 ml/gram-LV/min). After surgery there was constant increase of CS flow from 276 ±79 ml/min (1,13 ±0,35 ml/gram-LV/min) first postoperative day, to 355 (±99) ml/min (1,30 ±0,46 ml/gram-LV/min) sixth postoperative day. Discussion: Amount of new blood was statistically significant after CABG with P<0,001. Same result was found after classifying patients per number of graft received, with the highest amount of new blood after four bypasses. Amount of new blood was not different if patient gets two or three bypasses. Conclusion: There was significantly new amount of blood in coronary bed after CABG, with constant increase over first 6 days.
Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture after Acute Myocardial Reinfarction Due to In-Stent Thrombosis in COVID-19 Patient Alen Karic, Ilirijana Karabdic, Edin Kabil, Sanja Grabovica, Slavenka Straus, Ervin Busevac, Alma Krajinovic, Bedrudin Banjanovic, Muhamed Djedovic, Nermir Granov Acta Informatica Medica, 2022 Background: Acute left ventricular free wall rupture (LVFWR) is a life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction that requires urgent intervention. Surgical repair has continued to be the treatment of choice. Studies suggest a posterolateral or inferior infarction is more likely to result in free wall rupture than an anterior infarction. LVFWR generally results in death within minutes of the onset of recurrent chest pain, and on average was associated with a median survival time of 8 hours. Prompt diagnosis and management can lead to successful treatment for LVFWR. Objective: The aim of this article was to present an emergency case with an LVFWR in a COVID-19 patient who suffers from AMI and was treated with PCI stents in the ramus intermedius and circumflex coronary artery. Case report: We present an emergency case with an LVFWR in a COVID-19 patient who suffers from AMI and was treated with PCI stents in the ramus intermedius and circumflex coronary artery. Although dual antiplatelet therapy introduction and good outcome of PCI were achieved, soon after instant thrombosis of both stents appear to result in transmural necrosis and LVFWR. Urgent catheterization was performed and diagnosed in-stent thrombosis where the ventriculography confirmed LVFWR of the posteroinferior wall. Urgent surgery was performed. Transmural necrosis was noticed alongside the incision line. The incision is sawn with 4 U-stitches (Prolen 2.0 with Teflon buttressed stitches). Another layer of fixation was made by Prolen 2.0 running stitches reinforced with Teflon felts from both sides. A large PTFE patch was fixed to epicardium over the suture line by Prolen 6.0 running stitch and BioGlue was injected in-between patch and LV (Figures 8 and 9). After aortic cross-clamp removal, the sinus rhythm was restored. Conclusion: Despite the high mortality, the urgency and the complexity of surgical treatment the early diagnosis plays a key role in the management of postinfarction LVFWR patients presenting a case of preserved postoperative left ventricular function and accomplished good functional status, as presented in our case.
