Current reporting guidelines do not call for standardised declaration of follow-up completeness, although study validity depends on the representativeness measured outcomes. The Follow-Up Index (FUI) describes completeness at a given end date as ratio between investigated and potential period. association FUI accuracy survival-estimates was investigated.FUI Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated twice 1207 consecutive patients undergoing aortic repair during an 11-year period: in scenario A...
Objective: Cardiac surgery is frequently followed by postoperative delirium, which associated with increased 1-year mortality, late cognitive deficits, and higher costs. Currently, there are no recommendations for pharmacologic prevention of delirium. Impaired cholinergic transmission believed to play an important role in the development We tested hypothesis that prophylactic short-term administration oral rivastigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor, reduces incidence delirium elderly patients...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for high-risk and inoperable patients with severe stenosis is an emerging procedure in cardiovascular medicine. Little known of the impact TAVI on renal function.We analysed retrospectively baseline characteristics outcome 58 including 2 chronic haemodialysis undergoing at our institution. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was defined according to RIFLE classification.Fifty-eight symptomatic not considered suitable conventional surgical replacement a...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is frequently present in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). While revascularisation affects peri-operative outcome surgical replacement, the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) TAVI not well established.Consecutive AS were prospectively included into Bern registry. In CAD, myocardium at risk was assessed using DUKE myocardial jeopardy score. Revascularisation performed by means PCI either...
To conduct a survey across European cardiac centres to evaluate the methods used for cerebral protection during aortic surgery involving arch. All were contacted and surgeons requested fill out short, comprehensive questionnaire on an internet-based platform. One-third of more than 400 completed correctly. The most preferred site arterial cannulation is subclavian–axillary, both in acute chronic presentation. femoral artery still frequently condition, while ascending aorta frequent second...
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether coronary artery disease (CAD) severity exerts a gradient risk in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). A total 445 severe AS TAVI were included into prospective registry between 2007 and 2012. preoperative SYNTAX score (SS) determined from baseline angiograms. In case revascularization prior TAVI, residual SS (rSS) also determined. Clinical outcomes compared without CAD (n = 158), low (0–22, n...
This report summarizes the 5-year clinical and haemodynamic data from three prospective, European multicentre trials with Perceval sutureless aortic valve. From April 2007 to August 2012, 731 consecutive patients (mean age: 78.5 years; 68.1% females; mean logistic EuroSCORE 10.9%) underwent AVR valve in 25 centres. Isolated was performed 498 (68.1%) patients. A minimally invasive approach 189 (25.9%) cases. The cumulative follow-up 729 patients-years. In isolated AVR, cross-clamp...
