The decision to undergo aortic aneurysm repair balances the risk of operation with complications. surgical is typically represented by perioperative mortality, while aneurysmal relates 1-year events. We investigate difference in 30-day and mortality after total arch replacement for aneurysm.
Background: Heart transplantation (HTX) is the treatment of choice in patients with end-stage heart failure, even if it still disadvantaged by lack donor organs. The aim this study was to compare transplant outcomes between recipients hearts from cardiopulmonary-resuscitated (CPR+) donors and those non-cardiopulmonary-resuscitated (CPR–) donors. Methods: This retrospective included adults who underwent HTX at University Hospital Bologna January 2006 December 2023.We divided into two groups...
Introduction: This study compares the fluid dynamics of two vascular prostheses used in Tirone-David procedures, aiming to evaluate their performance terms blood flow patterns and hemodynamic parameters within aortic root. Matherial Results: compared twelve patients underwent valve-sparing surgery using either Valsalva Graft Terumo or CardioRoot Gentinge. The procedural success rate was 100%. All successfully 4D magnetic resonance imaging. bulk evaluated were: peak velocity, Wall share...
Background and Aim: Outcome of patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTX) can be severely affected by post- operative infections. The present study is aimed at identifying their determinants analyse short-term outcomes. Methods: Through a retrospective analysis, adults HTX Bologna University Hospital from January 2013 to December 2023 (n=231) were either assigned group 1 (n=63) or 2 (n=168), according positive negative postoperative infection history, respectively. Results: Among...
Objective: Despite medical and surgical advancements, managing endocarditis involving the aortic root remains challenging for cardiac surgeons due to anatomical complexity critical function of root. This study aims assess outcomes using Biointegral conduit in patients who have undergone or valve replacement complex infective at our center. Methods: Between February 2011 December 2023, 46 underwent implantation BioIntegral valved institution. The average age was 67.6 years, with primary...
Background and Aim: Even in the percutaneous coronary intervention era, surgery still remains treatment of choice ischemic ventricular septal defect. Most previous data come from single centre studies. The aim our study was to investigate risk factors for worse outcome. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multi-center study. One-hundred eleven patients four centers, who underwent post-myocardial infarction defect period 2001-2021, were enrolled. on behalf Gruppo Italiano di Ricerca sugli...
Introduction: Endovascular procedures in patients with Marfan syndrome are controversial. This study evaluates the early and long-term outcomes of frozen elephant trunk procedure these patients. Materials Methods: From 2007 to 2022, 27 underwent FET at our institution. Outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Mean age was 42.8 ± 13.5 years; 74.1% male. Most reoperations (81.5%), previously treated for proximal aortic disease. Indications included residual type A dissection (48.1%),...
Background: Cardiac surgery in elderly patients is constantly growing, due to increase life expectancy and quality of life. We retrospectively analyzed results surgical revascularization their eighties. Methods: From January 2002 December 2022, 3085 undergoing coronary artery bypass-graft were enrolled. Patients divided group I (age over 80) with 314 II under 2462 patients. Results: In there more female patients, less history smoking, dialysis, acute myocardial infarction percutaneous...
This study investigates the impact of bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion time on outcomes in aortic arch surgery.
The options for testing new cardiac procedures and investigative medical devices prior to use in an animal model are limited. In this study, we present a method mounting porcine aortic valve pulse duplicator evaluate its hydrodynamic properties. These properties can then be evaluated before after the procedure under investigation is performed and/or device applied. Securing inflow segment presents some difficulty owing lack of circumferential myocardium left ventricular outflow tract. This...
