Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAD) is a disease that has catastrophic impact on patient's life and emergent surgery represents key goal of early treatment. Despite continuous improvements in imaging techniques, medical therapy surgical management, mortality patients undergoing TAAD repair still remains high, ranging from 17% to 26%. In this setting, the International Registry Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD), largest worldwide registry for dissection, was established assess clinical...
The impact of sutureless and rapid deployment (SURD) valves on the clinical outcomes patients undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MI-AVR) has still to be defined. aim this study was assess characteristics in-hospital results receiving SURD-AVR through less approaches in large population Sutureless Rapid Deployment International Registry (SURD-IR).Of 1935 who received primary isolated between 2009 2018, a total 1418 (73.3%) underwent MI interventions were included...
The Sutureless and Rapid-Deployment Aortic Valve Replacement International Registry (SURD-IR) was established by a consortium of 18 research centres-the Valvular Surgery Study Group (IVSSG)-to overcome limitations the literature provide adequately powered evidence on sutureless rapid-deployment aortic valves replacement (SURD-AVR).Data from 3343 patients undergoing SURD-AVR over 10-year period (2007-2017) were collected in registry. mean age 76.8 ± 6.7 years, with 36.4% being 80 years or...
Minimally invasive access has become the preferred choice in mitral and/or tricuspid valve surgery. Reported outcomes are at least similar to classic sternotomy although aortic cross-clamp times usually longer.We analysed largest registry of surgery patients (mini-mitral international (MMIR)) for relationship between times, mortality and other outcomes. From 2015 2021, 7513 consecutive underwent mini-mitral 17 Heart-Valve-Centres. Data were collected according Mitral Valve Academic Research...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Few data are available regarding early extubation after mitral valve surgery. We sought to assess the impact of an enhanced recovery surgery-based protocol—ultra-fast-track protocol—in patients undergoing minimally invasive transaxillary METHODS Data who underwent surgery associated with ultra-fast-track protocol between 2018 and 2023 were reviewed. compared preoperative, intraoperative postoperative had fast-track (≤6 h since end procedure) non-fast-track (>6 h)...
OBJECTIVESSurgical management of the aortic root in type A acute dissection (TAAAD) is controversial. This study compares short- and long-term outcomes replacement (RR) versus conservative (CR).
The interest in isolated tricuspid valve disease has rapidly increased recently. However, clinical trials and registry data are rare the surgical literature. This study aimed to describe early long-term outcomes of a real-world experience procedures comparing repair replacement strategies.The Surgical-Tricuspid is multicentre retrospective that enrolled adult patients who had undergone surgery at 13 international sites. Propensity score-matched analysis was used compare versus replacement.A...
Objective: The aim of this study was to report results and identify predictors hospital long-term mortality in patients undergoing re-operations on the proximal thoracic aorta. Methods: Between 1986 2009,174 aorta after previous aortic surgery were performed our Institution. patients' mean age 58 years, 132 (75.9%) men. time from last operation 9.9 years. An urgent 35 (20.1%) patients. Indications for included degenerative chronic post-dissection aneurysm (n = 133), acute dissection 8),...
To assess early and long-term outcomes in a large cohort of patients undergoing open aortic arch surgery.From 1996 to 2012, 623 consecutive (mean age: 62.8 years) underwent interventions our institution. Of these, 208 (33.4%) presented with an acute syndrome (AAS) 415 (66.6%) chronic pathology (CAP). During the study period, surgical strategy involved extensive resections diseased tissue at elective interventions, tear-oriented replacement dissection. More were often performed younger...
Abstract OBJECTIVES With the popularization of catheter-based mitral valve procedures, evaluating risk-specific differentiated clinical outcomes after contemporary surgery is crucial. In this study, we assessed operative results minimally invasive operations across different patient risk profiles and evaluated value EuroSCORE (ES) II predicted mortality model for prediction, in large cohort Mini-Mitral International Registry (MMIR). METHODS The MMIR database was used to analyse mini-mitral...
The introduction of transcatheter procedures has focused on patient expectations for treatments with a less invasive approach and faster recovery. aim this study was to assess the short- medium-term results in patients who underwent trans-axillary mitral valve repair application ultra-fast-track protocol.
Objectives: Having achieved a consolidated in-hospital experience with enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery, we explored the feasibility of expanding our protocol to pre-admission and post-discharge periods. Methods: A multidisciplinary team including surgeons, anaesthetists/intensivists, physiatrists, physiotherapists, perfusionists, nurses, psychiatrists, engineers, elaborated new therapeutic offer, based on current ERAS evidence using telerehabilitation, enhance preoperative...
The growing experience in minimally invasive techniques, supported by outstanding outcomes and excellent surgical exposure of the entire proximal thoracic aorta via ministernotomy, has motivated surgeons to apply this approach more challenging procedures such as aortic root arch treatment. From September 2016 April 2024, 243 consecutive patients underwent treatment through ministernotomy at Cardiac Surgery Unit Lancisi Cardiovascular Center Ancona - Polytechnic University Marche, Italy.
