TWO HANDS, ONE HEART: A JOINT PATIENT–CAREGIVER MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION PROGRAM AND EARLY OUTCOMES AFTER CARDIAC SURGERY — A PROSPECTIVE CONTROLLED STUDY
Anno:
2026
Background The perioperative phase of cardiac surgery is a highly vulnerable period for patients and caregivers, frequently marked by anxiety, emotional distress and uncertainty regarding the intra- and postoperative course.These factors may negatively affect treatment adherence, symptom appraisal and the management of early post-discharge events, contributing to unplanned Emergency…

STANDALONE THORACOSCOPIC EPICARDIAL LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE EXCLUSION WITHOUT ANY ANTITHROMBOTIC THERAPY IN A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE: LONG TERM CLINICAL OUTCOMES
Anno:
2026
Introduction: According to 2024 ESC AF Guidelines with Doacs having similar bleeding risk of aspirin the role of endovascular left atrial appendage occlusion with the mandatory post procedure antithrombotic therapy for stroke prevention is defined “unclear”. Thoracoscopic epicardial closure does not require any post procedure antiplatelet therapy due to…

HEART TRANSPLANTATION IN NON-OPERABLE MULTIPLE GIANT CORONARY ARTERY ANEURYSMS: A CASE REPORT
Anno:
2026
Background Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are uncommon (0.3–5% in angiographic series). Giant forms—defined as dilations >8 mm or >4× the normal adjacent diameter—are exceptional and lack standardized management. In adults with complex anatomy, therapeutic options (medical, percutaneous, or surgical) may be limited. To date, no cases of heart transplant…

COMBINED TRANSFEMORAL AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE DIRECT CORONARY BYPASS GRAFTING – A GOOD CHOICE FOR SELECTED HIGH-RISK PATIENTS
Anno:
2026
Background Severe aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) commonly coexist in elderly patients and pose a therapeutic challenge, particularly in the presence of frailty and high surgical risk. Conventional surgical approach may be associated with prohibitive perioperative risk, whereas a fully percutaneous strategy may be limited by…

CLINICAL AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC FEATURES AND OUTCOMES IN A COHORT OF LVAD-SUPPORTED PATIENTS: A SINGLE-CENTER RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Anno:
2026
Background: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are an established therapy for advanced heart failure, yet long-term outcomes remain heterogeneous. Identifying the main predictors of mortality, heart transplantation, and hospitalization is essential to improve post-implant management. Methods: We conducted a single-center, retrospective observational study including adult patients who underwent LVAD…

ROLE OF NON-INVASIVE BIOMARKERS AND CORONARY INTRAVASCULAR IMAGING IN PREDICTING CARDIAC ALLOGRAFT VASCULOPATHY (CAV) DETECTED BY CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY
Anno:
2026
Background: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy(CAV) is the most common form of late rejection after heart transplantation.Early detection and monitoring of CAV are crucial for improving long-term outcomes.Aim of this work is to investigate pros/cons of each imaging modality and the potential of selected non-invasive biomarkers in predicting the presence and…

THE RISK OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY AND ELECTROLYTE DISORDERS IN CARDIAC SURGERY IN RELATION TO THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARDIOPLEGIC SOLUTION: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS
Anno:
2026
Background and Aim: Cardioplegia is a pharmacological approach essential for heart protection from ischemia–reperfusion injury. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after cardiac surgery. We sought to determine the possible onset of AKI in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with different cardioplegic solution during extracorporeal circulation including Custodiol…

SMALLER ATRIUM, BETTER RHYTHM: LEFT ATRIAL VOLUME REDUCTION AFTER HOCM SURGERY
Anno:
2026
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a negative prognostic factor in patients undergoing surgical correction. A precursor sign of AF is an increase in indexed left atrial volume (iLAVol, ml/m 3 ). We aimed to analyze the impact of HOCM surgery on iLAVol and the…

N-ACETYLCYSTEINE IN ADULT CARDIAC SURGERY: AN UMBRELLA REVIEW OF RANDOMIZED EVIDENCE ON POAF AND AKI
Anno:
2026
BACKGROUND Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and acute kidney injury (AKI) remain frequent complications after adult cardiac surgery. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but clinical results have been heterogeneous. METHODS We conducted an umbrella review of meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating perioperative NAC in adult cardiac…

CONTEMPORARY RESULTS OF HM3 LVAD FOR ADVANCED HEART FAILURE: A MULTICENTER ITALIAN EXPERIENCE
Anno:
2026
BACKGROUD: Research and expert consensus indicate that durable mechanical circulatory support ( d MCS) with Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) therapy is significantly underestimated and underutilized in Italy compared to other European countries and North America. Our retrospective multicenter experience aims to describe the current state of art in…
