The assessment of myocardial viability has been used to identify patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction in whom coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) will provide a survival benefit. However, the efficacy this approach is uncertain.In substudy who were enrolled randomized trial medical therapy or without CABG, we single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT), dobutamine echocardiography, both assess on basis prespecified thresholds.Among 1212 trial, 601...
Background— Whether mitral valve repair during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improves survival in patients with ischemic regurgitation (MR) remains unknown. Methods and Results— Patients ejection fraction ≤35% disease amenable to CABG were randomized at 99 sites worldwide medical therapy or without CABG. The decision treat the was left surgeon. primary end point mortality. Of 1212 patients, 435 (36%) had none/trace MR, 554 (46%) mild 181 (15%) moderate 39 (3%) severe MR. In arm, 70...
Background— Patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction, ischemic heart failure, and coronary artery disease suitable for bypass grafting (CABG) are at higher risk surgical morbidity mortality. Paradoxically, those patients the most dysfunction who derive greatest clinical benefit from CABG also operative risk, which makes decision making regarding whether to proceed surgery difficult in such patients. To better inform making, we analyzed Surgical Treatment Ischemic Heart Failure...
BACKGROUND: Many patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation are not suitable candidates for surgery or transcatheter repair. For valve replacement, a common contraindication is the risk of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, particularly in regurgitation, who have characteristically small ventricles. Herein, we examine outcomes replacement using AltaValve system, which employs fixation thus minimizing obstruction risk. METHODS: Patients severe, symptomatic were treated...
Late presenters with ST-elevation myocardial infarction pose a considerable challenge in the field of cardiovascular medicine. These individuals, who delay seeking medical attention after onset symptoms, often face substantial difficulties treatment. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic led to significant increase number late presenters. By increasing frequency complications such as thromboembolic events course left ventricular thrombus, necessitated refinement existing management...
OBJECTIVESThe use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITAs) grafting has been documented to be advantageous over left artery (LITA) grafting. It shown significantly improve clinical outcomes and increase long-term survival in patients with diabetes. However, harvesting BITAs may result a greater risk superficial wound infection (SWI) or deep sternal (DSWI) cardiovascular complications (major adverse cardiac cerebrovascular events; MACCE) such patient group. The objective this study was...
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of chronic thromboembolic lesions in pulmonary arteries among patients undergoing embolectomy for acute embolism and their impact on treatment outcomes.
The ECG-PH index (PH-ECG score) has been proposed as a valuable ECG-derived method of evaluating the effectiveness balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in chronic thromboembolic hypertension (CTEPH). Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is main form therapy for CTEPH with proximal clot location. objective this study was to assess clinical utility resting electrocardiogram (ECG-PH index) assessing PEA patients.The retrospective analysis included 73 patients who underwent PEA. Their values were...
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the immunological status of population, indicating increased activation. aim study was to compare degree inflammatory activation in patients admitted for surgical revascularization period before and during pandemic.This retrospective analysis included an assessed on basis whole blood counts 533 (435 (82%) male 98 (18%) female) with a median age 66 (61-71) years who underwent revascularization, including 343 190 operated 2018 2022, respectively.The compared...
