Aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening complication following aortic surgery. Although surgical repair remains the gold standard for treatment, alternative approaches such as transcatheter strategies are increasingly considered viable options, particularly in patients with high risk due to comorbidities, anatomical challenges or technical constraints. We present case of 72-year-old male patient who developed subaortic during radiological follow-up after previous Bentall...
Long-term evidence about bioprosthetic tricuspid valve replacement is scarce. This study aims to investigate the long-term clinical outcomes of patients who underwent with bioprostheses. multicentre retrospective included from 10 high-volume centres in 7 different countries, Echocardiographic and data were reviewed. investigated using Kaplan-Meier estimates, Cox regression, competing risk analysis. Of 675 patients, isolated was performed 358 (53%), while 317 (47%) concomitant procedures....
Background: Recently, the carotid artery has been used as an alternative approach for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The aim of this study was to prove safety and feasibility transcarotid (TC) vs. transfemoral (TF) TAVI.
The objective was to investigate the outcomes of concomitant venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and left ventricular unloading with Impella (ECPELLA) compared ECMO alone treat patients affected by cardiogenic shock. Data from needing mechanical circulatory support 4 international centers were analyzed. Of 438 included, ECPELLA adopted in 319 (72.8%) 119 (27.2%) patients, respectively. Propensity score matching analysis identified 95 pairs. In matched cohort, 30-day...
Abstract OBJECTIVES The aim of this retrospective multicentre study was to investigate and compare clinical outcomes unilateral bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (ACP) strategies on protection during surgery for type A aortic dissection. METHODS Data from 646 patients who underwent surgical repair thoracic dissection using ACP with moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest in 3 cardiac institutions between 2008 2018 were analysed. Propensity matching performed assess which technique...
To evaluate early and long-term results of surgical treatment aortic coarctation (CoAo) in infants children.A retrospective clinical review patients less than 18 years with CoAo, undergoing surgery between 1995 2015. Data were retrieved from our institutional database, to identify preoperative postoperative characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed by bivariate, Cox's, logistic regression analysis.Three hundred forty-one consecutive (male/female: 192/149; the median age at 25 days;...
The goal of this multicentre retrospective study was to compare long-term clinical and haemodynamic outcomes the Carpentier-Edwards Magna Ease (CEME) bioprosthesis by patient age.We included consecutive patients who underwent isolated combined surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) with CEME between January 2008 March 2020 at 4 cardiac surgery centres in Italy. Survival distribution evaluated follow-up according age type (combined or AVR), together freedom from structural deterioration...
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact Valve Academic Research Consortium 3 minor access site vascular complications (VCs) in patients who underwent percutaneous transfemoral (TF) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).This single-centre retrospective included consecutive TF-TAVI from 2009 2021. A propensity score-matched analysis performed compare early and long-term clinical results between with VC without (nVC).A total 2161 were included, whom 284 (13.1%) experienced...
Minimally invasive procedures have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing the recovery times while ensuring optimal results and minimizing complications. Regarding coronary artery surgical revascularization field, evolution of techniques technology is permitting new strategies that are increasingly precise suitable for each patient. We present an initial single center experience with a case series patients successfully treated combined robotic harvesting left internal mammary (LIMA)...
The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term outcomes concomitant suture bicuspidization treat mild or moderate tricuspid regurgitation at time mitral valve (MV) surgery.Data from patients who underwent MV surgery for degenerative with and annular dilatation between January 2009 December 2017 were analysed. cohort divided into 2 groups: alone (MVA) (TV) repair.A total 196 included in study. MVA TV repair performed 91 (46.4%) 105 (53.6%) patients, respectively. Propensity score...
We describe the case of a 59-year-old female affected by aortic extensive endocarditis with communication between annulus and right cavities, treated double pericardial patch reconstruction rapid-deployment valve prosthesis implantation.
Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most frequent and severe form of MD. It firstly affects skeletal muscles, causing disability, subsequently myocardium. The only two options to treat end‐stage heart failure in these patients are either a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation as destination therapy or transplant. These hypotheses still controversial, data very limited. We describe case an 18‐year‐old male patient, affected by DMD wheelchair from age 11. He...
We describe two cases of favorable and unexpected recovery in positive patients with coronavirus disease 2019, suffering from multiorgan comorbidity already assisted the left ventricular assist device. have observed that, although presence more comorbidities, when maintenance a valid support cardiovascular function is guaranteed, possibility successfully overcoming severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 infection still alive.
Surgical management of aortic valve endocarditis in high risk patients is controversial and the ideal treatment has not been found yet. We describe a selected series eight treated with rapid-deployment prosthesis as therapeutic solution for minimizing risks associated annulus manipulation case severe infective endocarditis.Eight consecutive (five men three women) mean age 74.3±7.2 years, logistic EuroSCORE II 16.0%±0.1%, affected by native (1 patient), or prosthetic (7 patients), were...
(1) Background: Although transcatheter technology is rapidly growing and represents a promising strategy, the surgical approach remains best way to repair degenerative mitral valve regurgitation. In this context, robotic surgery technologically most advanced method of minimally invasive repair. The aim study present preliminary results initial single-center experience with new program. (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed records patients who underwent at our Institution between January...
Clinical outcomes of 2 generations pericardial bioprostheses in concomitant aortic valve and coronary artery bypass graft surgery were analysed.Patients recruited from European centres divided into groups based on the type bioprosthesis used: Edwards Intuity Elite™ rapid-deployment (RD) or standard Magna Ease (ME). A propensity score weighting approach was used for data analysis.A total 285 patients included: 144 (50.5%) RD group 141 (49.5%) ME group. Thirty-day mortality 2.8% 5% (ME) (P =...
Although the frozen elephant trunk technique permits a complete single-stage treatment in patients with extended thoracic aortic disease, problem of circulatory arrest time remains unsolved. We propose simplified use Thoraflex Hybrid prosthesis to minimize time.
Background: HeartMate 3 is a left ventricular assist device, composed of centrifugal pump.It can be applied as myocardial recovery, bridge to transplant, or destination therapy, in the treatment patients with heart failure.Methods: Herein we describe technique against giant aneurysmal dilatation, which combines surgical device implantation and reconstruction using double patch.Results: The patch minimizes thrombotic risk thanks its internal bovine pericardium layer, contact blood....
Abstract Background Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is still the gold standard for treating stenosis (AVS). Its effectiveness has been extensively examined in terms of perioperative mortality, but its impact on overall health received much less attention. Aims To assess physical performance, cognitive status, and health-related quality life elderly patients undergoing SAVR, short, medium long term. Methods This single-center prospective study enrolled aged > 70 years who...
