OBJECTIVESSurgical management of the aortic root in type A acute dissection (TAAAD) is controversial. This study compares short- and long-term outcomes replacement (RR) versus conservative (CR).
The introduction of transcatheter procedures has focused on patient expectations for treatments with a less invasive approach and faster recovery. aim this study was to assess the short- medium-term results in patients who underwent trans-axillary mitral valve repair application ultra-fast-track protocol.
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...
In heritable aortic diseases, different vascular involvement may occur with potential variable implications in dilation/dissection risk. This study aimed to analyze the anatomy of individuals Marfan syndrome and Loeys-Dietz identify possible morphological differences.
We present our initial experience with the frozen elephant trunk using a Thoraflex™ hybrid device for treatment of complex thoracic aorta lesions.Between March 2013 and 2014, ten patients underwent surgery approach Thoraflex device. Indications were: residual type A chronic dissection (eight patients), degenerative aneurysm (one patient) B aortic patient). Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion moderate hypothermia were used in all cases.In-hospital mortality was 0% no presented paraplegia,...
Unresponsive pulmonary hypertension (PH) may contraindicate heart transplant since it implies poor early outcomes. The present study reports the effectiveness of oral perioperative sildenafil in allowing candidacy and surgery a selected group patients initially deemed ineligible because PH. Between May 2005 December 2009, 31 consecutive (5 females, 9 with history idiopatic cardiomyopathy 16 coronary artery disease, 10 previous sternotomies, 71.42 ± 27.69 ml/min/m2 mean preoperative epidermal...
Early graft failure (EGF) is a major risk factor for death after heart transplantation (Htx). We investigated the predictive factors moderate-to-severe EGF requiring an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circulatory support as treatment Htx. Between January 2000 and December 2014, 412 consecutive adult patients underwent isolated Htx at our institution. Moderate severe were defined need IABP ECMO support, respectively, within 24 h All available...
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...
Abstract OBJECTIVES The impact of minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) systems on the clinical outcomes patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (MI-AVR) has still to be defined. This study compared in-hospital and 1 year MI-AVR interventions using MiECC versus conventional (c-ECC). METHODS Data from 288 consecutive primary isolated (n = 102) or c-ECC 186) were prospectively collected. Treatment selection bias was addressed by use propensity score matching (MiECC vs...
As originally described by Bentall and De Bono, aortic root replacement with reimplantation of the coronary arteries using a composite valved conduit represents gold standard intervention in patients aneurysmal disease or dissection involving root. Over last decade, number procedures performed biological has dramatically expanded mainly due to increased incidence aging population. Here, we sought describe commercially available grafts techniques that, best our knowledge, are most frequently...
Background: Although sutureless and rapid deployment aortic valve replacement (SURD-AVR) has been associated with an increased rate of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation compared to conventional AVR (c-AVR), the predictors new conduction abnormalities remain be clarified. This study aimed identify risk factors for disorders in patients undergoing surgery. Methods: Data from 243 receiving minimally invasive were prospectively collected. SURD-AVR was performed 103 (42.4%) c-AVR 140...
