Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a relatively rare condition burdened by high rate of complications and mortality. Cardiac surgery risk setting for this condition. But in area, some particularities can make both diagnosis treatment difficult. Warfarin often needed after valvular but may be dangerous if HIT ongoing. Danaparoid the only anticoagulant whose mechanism action has been demonstrated to counteract pathogenesis HIT. However, 24-hour half-life challenges its use surgery....
Infective endocarditis on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represents an increasingly frequent challenge for cardiac surgeons. Patients undergoing TAVI usually have high mortality risk scores and unsuitable anatomy the traditional surgical approach. Therefore, planning is crucial, albeit sometimes intraoperative findings can be unexpected arduous. We describe a case of infective in patient with porcelain aorta “hostile” root surgically treated Perceval sutureless prosthesis...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold>. Heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a relatively rare condition burdened by high rate of complications and mortality. It always crucial to keep HIT in mind thrombocytopenic patients, even when other causes are highly suspected or documented. Alternative anticoagulants heparin required avoid life-threatening complications. Warfarin also contraindicated acute HIT. Danaparoid, the only anticoagulant whose mechanism action thoroughly...
Type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate surgical intervention. The goal of traditional approaches to treat the disease promptly, regardless invasiveness, in order achieve quickest outcome. This strategy has been shown be associated with significant morbidity, extended recovery and postoperative complications. minimally invasive technique, particular mini-sternotomy, even cases type dissection, can viable alternative, reducing trauma Despite technical...
Central MessageThe open use of a balloon-expandable prosthesis for mitral replacement may require adding pericardial skirt prevention periprosthetic leakage, and partial ventricular septal myectomy.See Commentaries on pages 27 29. In presence heavily calcified apparatus, valve represent challenging surgical intervention. The risk injury to the atrioventricular groove is high success rate its consequent repair very low. Nevertheless, symptomatic patient affected by severe stenosis, especially...
The association of calcific aortic valve disease and isolated coronary ostial stenosis is rare. A 80-year-old woman was found to have severe with critical narrowing the ostium left main artery. She successfully managed by simultaneous replacement patch angioplasty artery, using a autologous pericardium fixed in glutaraldehyde. Angiographic control at 1 month coupled intravascular echographic imaging showed adequate relief patency trunk.
Background Acquired ventricular septal defect (VSD) is a life-threatening condition that occurred after myocardial infarction (MI). The timing of the intervention remains very debated but it crucial to choose right surgical technique obtain stable and complete repair. Methods We report case an acquired VSD MI without obstructions coronary arteries (MINOCA). was promptly treated with double patch plus glue sandwich technique. Results At end procedure, echocardiographic data showed no residual...
Objective Despite minimally invasive techniques having gained wider application in cardiac surgery, current evidence on minithoracic aortic surgery is still limited. The aim of this study was to compare early and midterm outcomes patients undergoing operations the proximal thoracic aorta through ministernotomy (MS) versus full sternotomy (FS). Methods Data from 624 consecutive who underwent repair MS (n = 214, 34.3%) FS 410, 65.7%) at two centers were analyzed. Treatment selection bias...
