Severe Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation after Annuloplasty failure: Successful Transcatheter Edge to Edge Repair.
Anno:
2024
Surgical mitral valve repair is the most common, feasible and preferred procedure to treat primary and secondary mitral regurgitation (MR). However, 30% of patients suffer from residue severe regurgitation 10 years after surgical intervention, resulting in a considerable number of Redo procedures. In elderly and high-risk patients with major…
Stent Frame Decoupling Following Self-expandable TAVR
Anno:
2024
Introduction Transcatheter heart valve (THV) deformation may affect leaflet kinematics and coaptation, with potential formation of hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT). The flexible nitinol frame of the self-expandable THV, conforms to the native annulus shape while maintaining the prosthesis in a higher position. This arrangement is called stent-frame ‘decoupling’ and…
PREVENTIVE REHABILITATION CARDIOLOGY AS A POSSIBLE SETTING FOR THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY OUTPATIENT CLINIC FOR HEART FAILURE. THE CREATION OF A HEART FAILURE NETWORK BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF CARE
Anno:
2024
Preventive Rehabilitative Cardiology (CPR) is a possible ideal setting for a Heart Failure (HF) Outpatient Clinic because it allows a specialized multidisciplinary team to be involved in the follow-up of the patient with Chronic Heart Failure (CHF). In the ESC 2021 Heart Failure Guidelines, two cornerstones in the management…
RESIDUAL CARDIOVASCULAR RISK AND SEVERITY OF CORONARY DISEASE
Anno:
2024
Background: The presence of residual risk in patients with a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a cause of additional cardiovascular events. The aim of this study is to correlate residual cardiovascular risk with the severity of coronary disease. Methods: We enrolled 52 patients hospitalized with a diagnosis…
Case Report: Self-Expanding Transcatheter Valve Implantation (Acurate Neo 2) in a very Small Native Aortic Annulus
Anno:
2024
We present the case of a 74-year-old female, symptomatic for dyspnea on exertion, evaluated by our Cardiac Team for severe aortic valve (AV) stenosis. The transesophageal echocardiography showed a stenotic tricuspid AV (valve area of 0.51 cm2, peak and mean gradients of 75 mmHg and 43 mmHg respectively), normal…
INDIPENDENT PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF SOLUBLE-SUPRESSION OF TUMORIGENICITY (s-ST2) IN PATIENTS AFFECTED BY PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
Anno:
2024
Introduction: According to ESC 2022 guidelines, pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a hemodynamic condition characterized by mean pulmonary arterial pressure>20 mmHg. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) represents 5% of the PH, with an unfavorable prognosis primarily because of late diagnosis and treatment. In PAH, it is important to evaluate the individual…
THE IMPACT OF HEART FAILURE ON QUALITY OF LIFE: A MIXED METHOD STUDY
Anno:
2024
INTRODUCTION: Heart failure (HF) is a significant global health problem, affecting over 64,000 people annually and resulting in high mortality rates (Savarese et al., 2023). However, for those receiving follow-up care, there is a 20% increase in 5-year survival (Braunwald, 2013). Globally, heart failure affects 1-3% of the population…
Cardiogenic shock due to spontaneous coronary artery dissection
Anno:
2024
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important but rare cause of myocardial infarction (MI) in young adults, particularly women. Current guidelines recommend conservative treatment, given the low angiographic success and the high complication rate of percutaneous coronary intervention. However, in SCAD patients presenting with STEMI or cardiogenic shock…
Right axillary mini-thoracotomy for minimally invasive mitral surgery: A 5-year single-center experience.
Anno:
2024
Objectives: To report early- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral surgery (MIMS) through right axillary mini-thoracotomy (RAMT) over a 5-year period. Methods: From July 2016 to December 2021, a total of 172 patients underwent MIMS through RAMT at “Vito Fazzi” Hospital. Results: mitral valve diseases were…
MACARONI SIGN AND TAKAYASU ARTERITIS IN A PATIENT WITH TUBERCOLOSIS: AN EASY TOOL FOR DIAGNOSIS
Anno:
2024
Takayasu arteritis (TKA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterised by inflammation of the aorta and major branch vessels. Carotid Artery (CA) lesions in TKA, known as the ‘macaroni sign’, are characterised by global thickening of the common CA wall and lumen narrowing. There has been speculation that there…
