306Three-dimensional (3D)-printed vascular models for cardiovascular surgery planning and endovascular procedure simulations often lack realistic biological tissues mimicking material properties, including flexibility or transparency, both. Transparent silicone silicone-like were not available end-user 3D printers had to be fabricated using complex cost-intensive workarounds. This limitation has now been overcome by novel liquid resins with tissue properties. These new materials enable...
Our goal was to evaluate the use of frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for treatment penetrating aortic ulcers involving arch.Between January 2008 and 2020, a total 34 patients had FET at 3 centres. The indication unsuitability thoracic endovascular repair due lack sufficient proximal landing zone even after supra-aortic rerouting (subclavian transposition, double transposition), ectasia ascending aorta/aortic arch (>40 mm) and/or shaggy aorta.Additional cardiac procedures were performed...
Abstract Background Degenerative aortic valve disease accounts for 10–20% of all cardiac surgical procedures. The impact pre-existing comorbidities on the outcome patients undergoing replacement (SAVR) needs further research. Methods IMPACT registry is a non-interventional, prospective, open-label, multicenter, international with follow-up 5 years to assess SAVR INSPIRIS RESILIA outcomes. will be conducted across 25 sites in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Switzerland intends enroll...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact concomitant ascending aortic replacement on operative morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing valve (AVR).We retrospectively analysed our institutional database for all elective isolated AVR with aorta between January 2009 May 2020. Patients surgery infective endocarditis or requiring hypothermic circulatory arrest were excluded. A 3:1 propensity matching performed 688 compare (120 patients) + (40 patients).There significant differences...
The aim of the study was to investigate potential prognostic role preoperative measurement erector spinae myosteatosis with Hounsfield unit average calculation as a marker for sarcopenia and frailty in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery.
Abstract OBJECTIVES We investigated the sex-related difference in characteristics and 2-year outcomes after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) by propensity-score matching (PSM). METHODS Data from 2 prospective registries, INSPIRIS RESILIA Durability Registry (INDURE) IMPACT, were merged, resulting a total of 933 patients: 735 males 253 females undergoing first-time SAVR. The PSM was performed to assess impact sex on SAVR outcomes, yielding 433 243 with comparable baseline...
Four hours after surgery for aortic valve stenosis and tricuspid regurgitation, an unknown foreign body was present on the routine chest X-ray. We performed re-sternotomy in order to retrieve this body. The easy move fluoroscopy but we could not extract it. concluded that a subdiaphragmatic location. As consequence, gastroscopy. A white, frothy mass (similar undissolved effervescent tablet) within ulcerated lesion seen partially extracted.
This paper presents a rare case of malignant melanoma metastasizing to the heart, highlighting diagnostic journey, therapeutic considerations, and clinical implications. Enhanced awareness atypical metastases aids early recognition treatment strategies for improved patient care. Comprehensive understanding cardiac involvement in contributes better outcomes decision making. (Level Difficulty: Beginner.).
Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the potential role of preoperative measurement thoracic muscle density as a marker for sarcopenia and frailty in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery.
