Radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation is becoming widely practiced.Two patients undergoing circumferential pulmonary vein in different centers developed symptoms compatible with endocarditis 3 to 5 days after the procedure. Their clinical condition deteriorated rapidly, and both suffered multiple gaseous and/or septic embolic events causing cerebral myocardial damage. One patient survived emergency cardiac esophageal surgery; other died of extensive systemic embolization. An...
The prospective, multinational, randomized Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) trial was designed to assess the optimal revascularization strategy between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) artery bypass grafting (CABG), for patients with left main (LM) and/or 3-vessel disease.This observational hypothesis-generating analysis reports results of a prespecified powered subgroup 705 who had LM disease among 1800 de novo PCI...

Repair of mitral regurgitation (MR) is more demanding in case prolapse the anterior leaflet, posterior leaflet with calcified annulus, or both leaflets. We evaluated a repair which consists anchoring free edge prolapsing to corresponding facing leaflet: 'edge-to-edge' (E-to-E) technique. The correction results double orifice valve when middle portion and smaller close commissure.Out 432 patients MR submitted between January 1991 September 1997, 121 (mean age 56 +/- 15.8 years) underwent...

Inflammation is a key component of cardiac disease, with macrophages and T lymphocytes mediating essential roles in the progression to heart failure. Nonetheless, little insight exists on other immune subsets involved cardiotoxic response.Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing map composition standard murine nonischemic, pressure-overload failure model. By focusing our analysis CD45+ cells, obtained higher resolution identification cell heart, at early late stages disease controls. We then...
Abstract Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is effective in older patients with symptomatic severe stenosis, while the indication has recently broadened to younger at lower risk. Although thromboembolic and bleeding complications after TAVI have decreased over time, such adverse events are still common. The recommendations of latest 2017 ESC/EACTS Guidelines for management valvular heart disease on antithrombotic therapy undergoing mostly based expert opinion. Based recent...
From January 1987 to July 1994, 299 consecutive patients ranging from 4 80 years of age underwent mitral repair for pure valve insufficiency due degenerative disease (59%), rheumatic (23%), endocarditis (12%) or ischemic heart (6%). During the initial period, a variety reparative methods were used following principles originally described by Carpentier. More recently, in our institution other surgical techniques have been introduced: specifically, prolapse anterior leaflet was corrected...
Background— The aim of this study was to assess the results mitral valve (MV) repair in functional regurgitation because end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Methods and Results— Seventy-seven patients with idiopathic (26 patients) or ischemic (51 DCM underwent MV for (3 4+/4+). Fifty-eight (75.3%) were New York Heart Association class III, 19 (24.6%) IV. In 23 (29.8%) a coaptation depth <1 cm, an isolated undersized annuloplasty used. remaining 54 (70.1%), ≥1 “edge-to-edge” technique...
Early studies of the Tendyne transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) showed promising results in a small selective cohort. The authors present 1-year data from currently largest commercial, real-world cohort originating investigator-initiated TENDER (Tendyne European Experience) registry. All patients registry eligible for follow-up were included. primary safety endpoint was cardiovascular mortality. Primary performance reduction regurgitation (MR) up to 1 year. Among 195 undergoing...
To assess the evolution of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients submitted to mitral repair for functional (MR).Ninety-one DCM (mean age 61+/-11.3) MV (+/-tricuspid repair) MR were included. Preoperative EF was 30.9+/-6.5%, left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume 113+/-31.5 ml/m(2), LV end-systolic 81.8+/-26.7 > or =3+/4+. TR classified as < =1+/4+ 57 (62.6%), 2+/4+ 21 (23%) and =3+/4+ 13 (14.2%). Most NYHA class III IV. A annuloplasty associated whenever...
