<h3>Importance</h3> Limited data exist on clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients who had infective endocarditis after undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the associated factors, characteristics, TAVR. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> The Infectious Endocarditis TAVR International Registry included with definite from 47 centers Europe, North America, South America between June 2005 October 2015. <h3>Exposure</h3>...
Photopheresis is an immunoregulatory technique in which lymphocytes are reinfused after exposure to a photoactive compound (methoxsalen) and ultraviolet A light. We performed preliminary study assess the safety efficacy of photopheresis prevention acute rejection cardiac allografts.
PurposeTo test the hypothesis that simultaneous closure of at least 2 independent vascular territories supplying spinal cord and/or prolonged hypotension may be associated with symptomatic ischemia (SCI) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). MethodsA pattern matching algorithm was used to develop a risk model for SCI using prospective 63-patient single-center cohort positive predictive value (PPV) intraoperative 4 (left subclavian, intercostal, lumbar, and hypogastric arteries)....
Rationale: Optimization of cell therapy for cardiac repair may require the association different populations with complementary activities. Objective: Compare reparative potential saphenous vein–derived pericytes (SVPs) that stem cells (CSCs) in a model myocardial infarction, and investigate whether combined transplantation provides further improvements. Methods Results: SVPs CSCs were isolated from vein leftovers coronary artery bypass graft surgery discarded atrial specimens transplanted...
To review the incidence, clinical presentation, definite management and 1-year outcome in patients with aorto-oesophageal fistulation (AOF) following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).International multicentre registry (European Registry of Endovascular Aortic Repair Complications) between 2001 2011 a total caseload 2387 TEVAR procedures (17 centres).Thirty-six median age 69 years (IQR 56-75), 25% females 9 (19%) previous surgery were identified. The incidence AOF entire cohort...
Objectives: In addition to traditional ice-cold storage (ICS), other techniques are emerging in the field of donor heart preservation for transplantation (HTx). However, many centers, it could be difficult justify their use, due higher costs and greater technical complexity compared ICS. This study aims analyze results obtained HTx at our center employing ICS, controlled hypothermia with Paragonix SherpaPak (PSP), ex vivo normothermic perfusion Organ Care System (OCS) as graft strategies....
Pharmacokinetic modeling supports trough monitoring of everolimus, but prospective data comparing this approach versus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in de novo cardiac transplant recipients are currently unavailable.In a 12-month multicenter open-label study, patients received everolimus (trough level 3-8 ng/mL) with reduced cyclosporine A (CsA) or MMF (3 g/day) standard CsA, both corticosteroids+/-induction therapy.In total, 176 were randomized (everolimus 92, 84). Mean creatinine clearance...
Background— The present study was aimed at determining the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) on postoperative bioprosthetic structural valve degeneration. Methods and Results— Twelve Italian centers participated in study. Patient data refer to implantations performed from November 1988 December 2009, which resulted 6184 patients (mean age 71.3±5.4 years, 60.1% male) being enrolled. Of these patients, 1731 (27.9%) had DM. propensity score–matching algorithm successfully matched 1113...
Cardiac stem cells (CSC) from explanted decompensated hearts (E-CSC) are, with respect to those obtained healthy donors (D-CSC), senescent and functionally impaired. We aimed identify alterations in signaling pathways that are associated CSC senescence. Additionally, we investigated if pharmacological modulation of altered can reduce senescence vitro enhance their reparative ability vivo. Measurement secreted factors showed E-CSC release larger amounts proinflammatory cytokine IL1β compared...
