Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension (PH) have been previously associated with unfavorable outcomes in patients severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI), but little is known about the effect of right ventricle to artery (PA) coupling. Our study aimed evaluate determinant factors prognostic value RV-PA coupling TAVI.One hundred sixty consecutive AS were prospectively enrolled, between September 2018 May 2020. They underwent a...
Abstract Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a standard treatment option in severe symptomatic stenosis (AS). Extra-valvular cardiac damage affects prognosis after replacement (AVR). Knowledge of remodeling factors that predict poor outcome TAVI is scarce. Purpose The study aim was to assess if echographic parameters could mid-term transfemoral with balloon expandable valves. Methods This included 157 consecutive patients (76.4±7.3 yrs., 82 men) AS at...
Abstract Background Sex-specific differences in aortic stenosis(AS) regarding the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms affecting valve and left ventricular(LV) response to pressure overload are well recognised. Data on atrial(LA) right heart remodelling function between men women with AS scarce. Purpose To investigate sex-related LA ventricular(RV) echocardiographic parameters patients(pts) their association long term all-cause mortality after TAVI. Methods Fifty-seven 57 severe...
We report the case of a patient with pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysm secondary to regurgitant quadricuspid valve, in which both lesions were successfully repaired. The patient, 16-year old boy, was known have had regurgitation and progressive dilation PA for years. He operated on when he developed symptoms effort, dilated right ventricle 55 mm. valve an intraoperative finding. It annulus, two normal cusps, third 'sparrow-nest' configuration fourth severely hypoplastic (which explained...
This study aimed to report our experience in the creation of brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) patients without adequate superficial venous circulation at upper limb.A retrospective 33 patients, operated on between 2004-2005, whom we created a fistula brachial artery and vein. After dissection mobilization, vein was anastomized an end-to-side fashion. maturation period (1 month) transposed into subcutaneous tissue.Thirty-three underwent constructions. Primary patency achieved...
Acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a surgical emergency with mortality of 1–2% per hour. Since its discovery over 200 years ago, techniques for repairing dissected aorta have evolved, and the introduction hypothermic circulatory arrest cerebral perfusion, complex replacing entire arch were possible. However, postoperative neurological complications contribute significantly to in this group patients. The aim study was determine association between different bilateral selective...
Objective To evaluate the mid-term results of brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula in patients without adequate superficial venous circulation upper limb. Methods Retrospective analysis included 49 patients, whom a had been created an end-to-side configuration. After maturation period (1 month), brachial vein was transposed into subcutaneous tissue. Follow-up study performed with functional after superficialization. Results Forty-nine underwent constructions. All fistulas were functional....
Multiple aortic mural thrombi at the level of ascending aorta represent a rare condition, only isolated cases have been reported so far. The aim current article was to report case 61-year-old patient diagnosed with this pathology.A history COVID infection six months previously initially acute upper right limb ischemia and submitted Fogarty desobstruction. Furthermore, free-floating mass in aorta, for which he aortotomy floating thrombi, measuring 5.6×1.5 cm 3×1.5 cm, were completely removed....
Background and objective Myxomas are the most common cardiac tumors. This study aimed to analyze possible risk factors associated with late mortality in this group of patients assess long-term survival. Methods A retrospective was conducted among who underwent myxomas resection between January 2008 July 2019 our service. The patients' preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative data were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression performed identify predictors at five years. Kaplan-Meier...
Malignant primary tumors of the heart are very rare and in most cases located left side heart, but involvement moderator band right has not yet been described literature. We report case a 22-year-old woman who presented after an episode transient sudden loss consciousness. The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) transesophageal evaluations showed echogenic mass that originated ventricle protruded into tricuspid valve during systole. While operating on patient, we found sessile tumor...
Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting has evolved from all venous grafts to bilateral mammary (BIMA) grafting. This was possible due the long-term patency of left and right internal demonstrated in angiography studies compared grafts. However, despite higher survival rates when using arteries, multiple report a rate surgical site infections, most notably deep sternal wound so-called “never event”. Methods: We designed prospective study between 1 January 2022 31 December included...
