Open heart surgery is associated with high occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), subsequently increasing the risk post-operative ischemic stroke. Concomitant open surgery, a cardiac ablation procedure commonly performed in patients known AF, often followed by left appendage closure (LAACS). However, protective effect LAACS on cerebral ischemia following remains controversial. We have studied whether addition to protects against brain injury regardless previous AF diagnosis. One hundred...
Background/Objectives: The complexity of Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery (MIMVS) could cause a slow learning curve and potentially patient harm. We thus investigated if novice mitral valve center encountered difficulties implementing MIMVS. Methods: seven hundred forty-eight surgery patients, two years before after MIMVS introduction. Results: propensity score matched sixty elective patients for comparison, with one thirty in each group. Surgical- (5.5 vs. 4.3 h), Cardiopulmonary...
Background/Objectives: To investigate if mitral valve centers encounter challenges implementing Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery (MIMVS). Methods: We investigated surgery patients, before and after MIMVS introduction. Results: propensity score matched two hundred sixty elective patients for comparison. Surgical- (5.5 vs 4.3h), CPB- (180 102 min) aortic cross-clamp times (98 vs. 81 became longer One year mortality in-hospital outcomes remained unaffected. Hospital length of stay...
Background: Incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is reported in 10%–65% of patients without previous AF diagnosis after open heart surgery. The risk late recurrence a postoperative onset unclear, and it controversial whether limited to the period should elicit oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy. primary objective this study was evaluate long-term developing new-onset peri-procedural AF. Patients methods: (n=189) with available baseline follow-up data included Left Atrial Appendage Closure...
Following open-heart surgery, atrial fibrillation and stroke occur frequently. Left appendage closure added to elective surgery could reduce the risk of ischemic stroke. We aim examine if routine left in patients undergoing provides long-term protection against cerebrovascular events independently history, risk, oral anticoagulation use. Long-term follow-up enrolled prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded evaluation trial entitled by (NCT02378116). Patients were stratified status...
Coronary artery bypass grafting using the radial has, since 1990s, gone through a revival. Observational studies have indicated better long-term patency when arteries. Therefore, might be preferred especially in younger patients where long time is important. During last 10 years different endoscopic techniques to harvest evolved. Endoscopic only requires small incision near wrist contrast open harvest, which an from elbow wrist. However, it unknown whether technique results fewer...
Percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure may reduce the risk of cardioembolic stroke in patients with non-valvular fibrillation. Given prophylactic nature procedure, identifying and managing complications are paramount.A 73-year-old man presented 14 months after percutaneous LAA syncope acute pericardial tamponade which required surgical exploration haemostasis; most temporally remote account this complication albeit amongst very few case reports. Tissue erosion by Amplatzer™ Amulet™...
Abstract Background Since the left atrium appendage (LAA) is predilection site for clot formation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), closure of LAA during surgery (LAACS) often performed but not yet demonstrated to protect against stroke. The recent LAACS trial found that protected from strokes and silent brain damages on a moderate (n=187) number patients. However, results based solely cerebral transitory ischemic attacks (TIA) was significant (18% events control group compared 6%...
Updated European guidelines recommend annual echocardiographic evaluation after bioprosthetic surgical aortic valve replacement (bio-SAVR). Given the increased demand on health care resources, only clinically relevant controls can be prioritized. We therefore aimed to explore reintervention rates following bio-SAVR.From nationwide Danish Register of Surgical Procedures, we identified all patients ≥40 years with isolated bio-SAVR ± concomitant coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)...
Abstract Background ESC guidelines recommend annual echocardiographic evaluation following biological surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), and 5 years mechanical SAVR. Conversely, increased life expectancy result in increasing demand on health care resources. Purpose To assess reintervention rates at 1-year, 3-year 5-year SAVR relation to estimated controls. Methods From the nationwide Danish Register of Surgical Procedures, we identified all patients ≥40 with isolated or +/−...
Abstract Introduction Coronary artery bypass grafting can be conducted using the radial as a graft. However, it remains unclear, which harvesting method is superior, i.e. endoscopic or open artery, and site for proximal anastomosis of has greatest benefits? Methods The NEO Trial single randomised clinical trial with 2x2 factorial design. first comparison assesses versus harvest primary outcome hand function secondary outcomes neurological deficits through exams neurophysiological studies....
