Background— Management of severe ischemic mitral regurgitation remains difficult with disappointing early and intermediate-term surgical results valve repair. Methods Results— Forty-four patients (4+) Carpentier type IIIb underwent repair, or without revascularization, by posterior leaflet extension a patch bovine pericardium remodeling annuloplasty. Serial echocardiography was performed preoperatively, intraoperatively, postoperatively to assess competence. The postoperative functional...
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a relatively rare but life-threatening condition with potential complications such as valve dysfunction, abscess formation, development of penetrating lesions and embolization septic material. In this case report, we describe the 56-year-old IE involving tricuspid resulting in near total occlusion right pulmonary artery due to massive piece While material well documented, associated rare.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become the standard of care for high surgical risk patients with stenosis. The most common approach to TAVR is transfemoral utilizing monitored anesthesia or general anesthesia. On occasion, access not possible and alternative required. Herein, we describe case a patient undergoing transcarotid regional multidisciplinary heart team.
A 74-yr-old woman with symptomatic severe mitral stenosis presented for valve replacement surgery. Her comorbidities included diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atrial fibrillation. Intraoperatively, the posterior annulus was found to be extensively calcified required surgical decalcification followed by a pericardial patch reconstruction. Because of debridement procedure, friable tissue at atrioventricular junction necessitated application BioGlue® (CryoLife,...
The Solo Smart pericardial aortic valve has been widely used in Europe as an option for replacement (AVR). We are reporting early and midterm clinical outcomes of AVR with the a single North America center.This is retrospective study 270 consecutive patients who had at Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute from February 2011 to March 2015. Follow-up echocardiographic data were collected retrospectively electronic paper charts. Univariate multivariate analysis performed evaluate results.The...
