Aortic valve replacement (AVR) using a bioprosthesis remains controversial for patients aged 50-65 years. This cohort study reports the very long-term outcomes of AVR Carpentier-Edwards Perimount pericardial in this age group.From 1984 to 2008, 522 aortic bioprostheses were implanted 516 years (mean age, 60 ± 4 years; 19% female). Multiple replacements excluded fro m our cohort. Baseline demographic, perioperative and follow-up data recorded prospectively. Mean was 9 6 years, total 4428...
Echocardiographic reduction of RV function, measured using TAPSE, is a well described phenomenon after cardiac surgery. The aim the present study was to investigate relation between modality pericardial opening (lateral versus anterior) and postoperative right ventricular systolic function by comparing echocardiographic parameters in patients undergoing minimally invasive or traditional mitral valve repair. 34 with severe regurgitation due prolapse underwent (sternotomy) operation (Group A)...
On-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery triggers an inflammatory response (IR) which may impair revascularization. The study aimed at (1) characterizing the temporal profile of IR by assaying appropriate markers in both systemic and blood, (2) determining whether (and doses of) cardiovascular drugs known to have antiinflammatory properties, namely statins ACE-inhibitors (ACEI), inhibit response.Patients scheduled for CABG (n=22) were randomized statin/ACEI combination treatment...
Mitral valve replacement using a bioprosthesis remains controversial in young patients because data on long-term outcomes are missing. This study evaluated the results of PERIMOUNT pericardial mitral aged 65 years or younger. From 1984 to 2010, 148 Carpentier–Edwards bioprostheses were implanted Baseline clinical, perioperative and follow-up recorded prospectively. Structural deterioration (SVD) was defined by strict echocardiographic assessment. The mean period 8.6 ± 5.5 years, for total...
The reduction of RV function after cardiac surgery is a well-known phenomenon. It could persist up-to one year the operation and often leads to an incomplete recovery at follow-up echocardiographic control. aim present study analyze impact different modalities pericardial incision (lateral versus anterior) myocardial protection protocols (Buckberg Custodiol) onto postoperative dynamic by relating two- three-dimensional parameters in patients undergoing mitral valve repair through minimally...
We used proteomics to identify systematic changes in the plasma proteins of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by means cardiopulmonary surgery. It is known that, after CABG, a complex systemic inflammatory responses ensues that favors occurrence adverse postoperative complications frequently recognizing inflammation itself and/or thrombosis as underlying mechanism. found marked and persistent increase levels serin-protease inhibitor α1-antichymotrypsin (α1-ACT) fully...
The radiofrequency maze procedure achieves sinus rhythm in 45%-95% of patients treated for atrial fibrillation. This retrospective study evaluates mid-term results the maze-performed concomitant to elective cardiac surgery-to determine sinus-rhythm predictive factors, and describes evolution patients' echocardiographic variables. From 2003 through 2011, 247 (mean age, 64 ± 9.5 yr) with structural heart disease (79.3% mitral disease) fibrillation underwent a modified procedure. Patients were...
Maze procedure aims at restoring sinus rhythm (SR) and atrial contractility (AC). This study evaluated multiple aspects of AC recovery their relationship with SR regain after ablation.122 mitral fibrillating patients underwent radiofrequency Maze. Rhythm check echocardiographic control biatrial were performed 3, 6, 12, 24 months postoperatively. A multivariate Cox analysis risk factors for absence recuperation was applied.At 2-years follow-up, achieved in 79% patients. SR-AC coexistence...
Introduction. To evaluate the role of hyperthermic isolated limb perfusion (HILP) in arterial thrombosis following melanoma-soft tissue sarcoma chemotherapy. Report. Here is presented one case iliac-common femoral artery subacute and a review appropriate literature performed using MEDLINE search. Acute/subacute occlusion most feared vascular complications HILP, located nearly always external iliac-femoral axis, being those vessels cannulated for perfusion. Conclusions. The small number...
Patients with biological aortic valves (following either surgical valve replacement [SAVR] or trans catheter implantation [TAVI]) require lifelong follow-up an imaging modality to assess prosthetic function and dysfunction. Echocardiography is currently the first-line valves. In this review, we discuss potential role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) as additional in situations inconclusive equivocal echocardiography. Planimetry orifice can theoretically be measured, well effective area,...
Background: In patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and contraindications for oral anticoagulation interventional occlusion of the left appendage (LAA) is an established approach prevention embolic stroke.Due to complex LAA anatomy appropriate device size selection challenging.It unclear which modality yields most reliable measurements.Purpose: The study compares preprocedural two-dimensional (2D-TEE), threedimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE), computed tomography...
