Abstract Background Sutureless bioprosthetic valves (SBVs) are engineered to enable a less invasive surgical valve replacement procedure in patients at high risk. Valve degeneration is relatively common occurrence across all types of valves, including SBVs. Valve-in-valve (ViV) procedures increasingly becoming the preferred treatment for many cases due their minimally nature and favourable long-term outcomes. However, specific structural characteristics SBVs present challenges ViV...
Background: PFO (Patent foramen ovale) is a common defect that affects about 25% of the population. Although its presence asymptomatic in majority cases, remaining part becomes overt with different symptoms, including cryptogenic stroke. closure currently widely available procedure complex anatomy, Amplatzer Occluder (APO) being most commonly used tool. However, performance another device, GORE Septal (GSO), has not been completely explored regard to septal anatomies. Methods: From March...
Background: PFO (Patent foramen ovale) is a common defect that affects about 25% of the population. Although its presence asymptomatic in majority cases, remaining part becomes overt with different symptoms, including cryptogenic stroke. The closure procedure widely available to date most used Amplatzer Occluder, also complex anatomy, but performance another device, GORE Septal Occluder (GSO), has not been completely explored regard septal anatomies.
 Methods: From March 2012 June 2020,...
Abstract Background Incomplete surgical left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, in the form of incompletely surgically ligated LAA (ISLL), increases thrombo-embolic risk patients with fibrillation (AF). Although its management is not standardized, percutaneous closure ISLL could be an alternative contraindication for anticoagulants. We present case a transcatheter device implantation patient AF and ISLL, complicated by severe anaemia. Case summary A 83-year-old woman, permanent history previous...
Vessel Plus is an open acccess journal, which publishes articles related to vascular diseases, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, aneurysm, atherosclerosis, hypertension, stroke, peripheral or pulmonary etc.
Abstract Background Anticoagulation in patients with cancer and atrial fibrillation (AF) is particularly challenging given the higher risk of both thrombotic bleeding complications this setting. Data regarding efficacy safety non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) AF malignancy remain unclear. Purpose In present meta-analysis we further investigate NOACs compared to warfarin assuming that available studies may be individually underpowered for endpoints at low incidence, i.e. stroke, major...
Annular rupture is an ambiguous term that refers to a series of infrequent but life-threatening transcatheter aortic valve replacement complications associated with anatomical and clinical risk factors often require urgent surgical management. We describe case annular following self-expandable post-dilatation, successfully treated surgery.
