Cardiovascular risk stratification and long-term outcomes in heart transplant recipients: beyond serum LDL levels
Anno:
2025
Purpose: recent ISHLT guidelines for heart transplant (HT) recipients recommend the use of statins; however, no specific LDL-C threshold is defined and cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification is typically carried out as in general population. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of traditional CV risk charts and assess whether a tailored scoring…
Donor with out of Hospital Cardiac arrest treated by CPR: a new resource to expand donor pool
Anno:
2025
Heart transplantation is the gold standard in the treatment of advanced heart failure refractory to medical therapy. The high number of patients on the heart transplant list and the low number of donors represent a problem in heart transplantation. We analyzed the incidence of primary graft dysfunction (PGD), ECMO…
Rapid-deployment aortic valves Implantation: modified surgical technique to reduce the risk of permanent pacemaker implantation
Anno:
2025
Objectives: To evaluate the occurrence of new conduction disorders and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) with the INTUITY rapid deployment bioprosthesis (RDB) and compare these outcomes before and after adjustment of the surgical technique. Methods: This single-center retrospective study included data from patients…
IMPACT OF THE CARDIOPLEGIC SOLUTION ON HEART TRASPLANTATION: LONG-TERM RESULTS
Anno:
2025
Objective: The ideal method of myocardial protection for preservation of the donor heart has not yet been fully defined. We analyzed our long-term experience with heart transplantation (Htx) utilizing three different  cardioplegic solutions. Methods: During a 20-year period (2002-2022), 538 adult individuals underwent isolated Htx at our institution.  To minimize the effect…
Multi-steps medical and engineering interaction to optimize preoperative planning in complex cardiac surgical procedures.
Anno:
2025
Objective: In recent decades patients referred for cardiac surgery have dramatically changed.Increase in patient's age and in concomitant comorbidities, have led to signifi cant more complexcases. In order to optimize decision making process and postoperative outcomes, the applicationof modern engineering techniques to the medical fi eld is becoming more…
A challenging case of severe mitral regurgitation treated with mitral valve replacement in patient with repaired tetralogy of Fallot
Anno:
2025
Background: Acquired diseases in the adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) population are rarely encountered and their management is challenging due to limited data. Improved survival rates in this subgroup will likely lead to more cases in the future. History: A 72-year-old male patient with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) was admitted with mild dyspnea (NYHA class…
TOTAL ENDOSCOPIC MITRAL VALVE REPAIR IN A MARFAN GIRL WITH BARLOW DISEASE AND CHEST DEFORMITY WITH A VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT
Anno:
2025
Objective: We present a case of a 18 years old girl with Marfan syndrome presented with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in a degenerative Barlow disease with prolapse of both leaflets. Methods: Chest X-rays showed a severe kyphoscoliosis combined with a pectus excavatum. The patient refused full sternotomy for psychological and cosmetic reasons….
AORTIC ROOT REPLACEMENT WITH SUB-ANNULAR IMPLANTATION FOR INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS: EARLY AND MID-TERM RESULTS
Anno:
2025
Objectives: prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) frequently entails a periannular extension with invasion and destruction of nearby structures. Thus, surgeons are faced with challenging anatomies that often require complex surgical approaches. Herein, we report the early and midterm outcomes of a high‐risk series of patients with PVE undergoing aortic root…
Atypical anterior annuloplasty for mitral repair in severe posterior mitral annular calcification
Anno:
2025
PREMISE: managing of mitral annular calcification (MAC) in mitral repair surgery (MRS) remains debated and exciting. The MAC’s pathophysiology in MV prolapse knows many and complex mechanisms: 1st step in MAC genesis is related to the abnormal MV geometry and mechanics, especially of the posterior mitral leaflet (PL). In…
CONTEMPORARY OUTCOMES OF DEGENERATIVE MITRAL VALVE SURGERY IN A REGIONAL TERTIARY CARE CENTER
Anno:
2025
Objective: As percutaneous mitral valve techniques become more prevalent, it is important to evaluate the contemporary outcomes of surgical mitral valve interventions. This study assessed the current results and procedural trends of mitral valve surgery for degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) at a regional tertiary care center. Methods: Data were analyzed…
