The interest in isolated tricuspid valve disease has rapidly increased recently. However, clinical trials and registry data are rare the surgical literature. This study aimed to describe early long-term outcomes of a real-world experience procedures comparing repair replacement strategies.The Surgical-Tricuspid is multicentre retrospective that enrolled adult patients who had undergone surgery at 13 international sites. Propensity score-matched analysis was used compare versus replacement.A...
To determine whether body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 affects morbidity and mortality rates in patients undergoing surgery for type A acute aortic dissection, we conducted a retrospective study of 201 with dissection. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to (BMI): nonobese (BMI, <30 kg/m2; 158 patients) obese 43 patients). Propensity score matching was used reduce selection bias. The overall rate 19% (38/201 perioperative higher the group, both cohort (33% vs 15%; P=0.01)...
We retrospectively analyzed early results of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery using two different types cardioplegia for myocardial protection: antegrade intermittent warm blood or cold crystalloid cardioplegia. From January 2015 to October 2016, 330 consecutive patients underwent isolated on-pump CABG. Cardiac arrest was obtained with use (WBC group, n = 297) (CCC 33), according the choice surgeon. Euroscore II and preoperative characteristics were similar in both groups,...
Coronary endarterectomy (CE) represents a useful adjunctive technique to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the presence of diffuse disease. Nevertheless, long-term patency graft remains unclear, and no standard anticoagulation antiplatelet protocols exist for use after CE. The aim this retrospective study was evaluate possibly clarify role single (SAT) versus dual therapy (DAT) at mid-term follow-up. Between January 2006 December 2013, CE performed 90 patients (mean age 67 ± 8.2...
Our goal was to analyse a consecutive series of patients with solid organ tumours undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by defining the risk factors for early and long-term outcomes.Between 2005 2016, 4079 underwent isolated CABG at our institution. Of 103 (2.5%) active malignancy, we enrolled 82 (mean age 71 ± 7 years) tumours, divided into 4 subgroups: lung (9 patients-11%), gastroenteric (16 patients-20%), urinary (48 patients-58%) other patients-11%). A deterministic record...
Aim of this study is to analyse the performances Clinical Risk Score (CRS) and European System for Cardiac Operative Evaluation (EuroSCORE)-II in isolated tricuspid surgery.Three hundred eighty-three patients (54 ± 16 year; 54% female) were enrolled. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed evaluate relationship between true positive fraction test results false-positive a procedure.Considering 30-day mortality area under curve 0.6 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.50-0.72)...
Aims Septal myectomy is the treatment of choice for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). Around 30–60% patients with HOCM have a secondary mitral valve regurgitation due to systolic anterior motion (SAM). We report our experience extended septal and its impact on incidence concomitant procedures. Methods This retrospective study 84 who underwent SM from January 2008 February 2022. Surgical procedure was performed according concept ‘extended myectomy’ described by Messmer in 1994....
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation with a transaortic approach (TAo-TAVI) is an alternative to transapical or femoral access. We studied the procedural and midterm efficacy safety of TAo-TAVI Edwards Sapien XT Medtronic CoreValve devices.Among 901 patients receiving TAVI since 2006, 265 consecutive underwent between January 2011 September 2014. Procedural results were evaluated according Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 criteria.The mean age was 83 ± 5 years. used in 191 (72.1%) 74...
ObjectivesThe role of the underlying etiology in isolated tricuspid valve surgery has not been investigated extensively current literature. Aim this study was to analyse outcomes patients undergoing due endocarditis compared other pathologies.MethodsThe SURTRI is a multicenter enrolling adult who underwent (n = 406, 55 ± 16 y.o.; 56% female) at 13 international sites. Propensity weighted analysis performed compare groups (IE group n 107 vs Not-IE 299).ResultsNo difference found regarding...
Coronary endarterectomy (CE) may provide a useful adjunctive technique to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diffuse disease. Nevertheless, the incidence of complications still remains high, long-term results remain unclear, and no risk factors for late mortality have been completely described yet.We retrospectively reviewed 90 consecutive (67 ±8.2 years) undergoing isolated CABG association CE between 2006 2013. Mean follow-up was 75.1 ±36.2 months (median: 84 months)...
Patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) is a controversial issue in current clinical practice. PPM has been reported to have negative impact on patients' prognosis after aortic valve replacement several studies, showing increased all-cause and cardiac mortality. Moreover, close relationship recently described between structural deterioration biological prostheses. In patients at risk for PPM, issues should be considered, the era of surgery, preoperative planning consider different types valves...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is emerging as an appealing management strategy for patients with severe stenosis at intermediate, high or exceedingly risk, but its risk-benefit profile in younger less certain. We aimed to explore the outlook of aged 70 years and undergoing TAVI 2 high-volume Italian institutions.We retrospectively collected baseline, imaging, procedural outcome features age ≤70 whom was attempted participating centers between 2012 2021. Non-parametric tests...
We present a case of 75-year-old man who developed an early aortic bioprosthesis endocarditis due to Klebsiella pneumoniae complicated by root pseudoaneurysm after Bentall procedure. A prompt surgical option was hypothesized, but we decided wait and keep on clinical observation antibiotic therapy. One year discharge, observed stable conditions echocardiographic findings. question: treat or not redo operation infectious pseudoaneurysm?
A normally functioning bicuspid aortic valve that is spared during replacement of the ascending aorta may ultimately require due to structural deterioration. We report use transcatheter replace a stenotic BAV 17 years following aorta.
Abstract Aims Female sex and heart failure (HF) are considered poor prognostic factors for surgery. We aimed to investigate the association between surgical outcomes in patients with ischaemic HF undergoing ventricular reconstruction coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods results From July 2001 June 2017, 648 [111 women (17%) 537 men (83%)] were referred our centre. Follow‐up continued through 2018. All underwent reconstruction; grafting was performed 582 (90%). Primary outcome defined as...
