BackgroundEpicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is an atypical fat depot surrounding the heart with a putative role in development of atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND: Risk stratification is highly desirable in patients with uncomplicated Stanford type B aortic dissection but inadequately supported by evidence. We sought to validate externally a published prediction model for late adverse events (LAEs), consisting of 1 clinical (connective tissue disease) and 4 imaging variables: maximum diameter, false lumen circumferential angle, outflow, number identifiable intercostal arteries. METHODS: assembled retrospective multicenter cohort (ROADMAP...
Two centrifugal pumps, the RotaFlow (Maquet, Jostra Medizintechnik AG, Hirrlingen, Germany) and Levitronix CentriMag (Levitronix LCC, Waltham, MA, USA), used in central or peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support systems have been investigated, terms of double-center experience, as treatment for patients with refractory cardiogenic shock (CS). Between January 2006 December 2012, 228 consecutive adult were supported on (n=213) (n=15) ECMO, at our...
To assess early and long-term outcomes in a large cohort of patients undergoing open aortic arch surgery.From 1996 to 2012, 623 consecutive (mean age: 62.8 years) underwent interventions our institution. Of these, 208 (33.4%) presented with an acute syndrome (AAS) 415 (66.6%) chronic pathology (CAP). During the study period, surgical strategy involved extensive resections diseased tissue at elective interventions, tear-oriented replacement dissection. More were often performed younger...
Different approaches are available to treat patients with complex and extensive diseases of the thoracic aorta. This study aims report comment on our experience frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique.Between January 2007 July 2012, 122 (male: 86.9%; mean age: 61 years) underwent aorta surgery using FET approach an E-vita open prosthesis. The most frequent indications for included residual type A chronic dissection (45.9%), degenerative aneurysm (27%), acute aortic (7.4%). Sixty-nine had...
Background: Bradyarrhythmia requiring pacemaker implantation among patients undergoing valve surgery may occur even after several years, with unclear predictors. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of at different follow-up times and identify associated Methods: We conducted a retrospective study evaluating 1046 consecutive who underwent Cardiac Surgery Division Bologna University Hospital from 2005 2010. Results: During 10 ± 4 years follow-up, 11.4% these required implantation....
Primary cardiac sarcomas are considered rare malignant entities associated with poor prognosis. In fact, knowledge regarding their gene signature and possible treatments is still limited. our study, whole-transcriptome sequencing on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from one osteosarcoma leiomyosarcoma was performed, to investigate mutational profiles highlight differences and/or similarities other histotypes. Both cases have been deeply detailed a pathological point of view....
To describe the design and methodological approach of a multicenter, retrospective study to externally validate clinical imaging-based model for predicting risk late adverse events in patients with initially uncomplicated type B aortic dissection (uTBAD).The Registry Aortic Diseases Model Adverse Events Progression (ROADMAP) is collaboration between 10 academic centers North America Europe. Two have previously developed internally validated recently prediction model. Clinical imaging data...
Objectives: Surgical management of aortic arch in type A acute dissection (TAAAD) is controversial. This study compared short- and long-term outcomes total replacement (TAR) interventions versus more conservative (CAM). Methods: Between 1997 2012, 270 patients underwent TAAAD surgery our institution; 53 (19.6%) received TAR 217 (80.1%) CAM. Compared to CAM patients, those undergoing had extensive (P = 0.012), were younger (59.1 vs 64.7 years, P 0.002) less likely present with cardiogenic...
Surgical ventricular reshaping (SVR) is a treatment option for patients with severe ischaemic heart failure (HF). Recently, new minimally invasive, hybrid technique named "less invasive enhancement" (LIVE), has been developed adopting the Reviven™ Myocardial Anchoring System (BioVentrix Inc., San Ramon, CA, USA).Between January 2015 and November 2018, 7 (5 men 2 women; mean age 72±8.9 years) underwent LIVE procedure at our institution.Procedural success was 100%. A total anchors number of...
In this article, we focus on the important role of robot-assisted coronary surgery by reporting successful case a morbidly obese male (body mass index = 58 kg/m2) who presented to our center with severe disease. A 54-year-old acute chest pain and was diagnosed artery The culprit lesion left anterior descending (LAD) artery. percutaneous intervention angiography attempted in university hospital not successful. Our heart team chose hybrid revascularization (HCR) strategy based patient's body...
We report the case of a 50-year old patient with deterioration an aortic homograft, who successfully underwent valve replacement using Edwards Intuity sutureless bioprosthesis. The presented rupture cusps and severe calcification annulus which prevented us from standard bioprosthesis for replacement.
