To determine whether the Trifecta bioprosthetic aortic valve produces postoperative haemodynamic results comparable with or better than those of Magna Ease bioprosthesis. We retrospectively reviewed medical records patients who had undergone replacement prostheses at eight European institutions between January 2011 and May 2013, analysed early performance by means echocardiography. A total 791 underwent (469 Ease, 322 Trifecta). Haemodynamic variables were evaluated on discharge during...
Papillary fibroelastoma is the third most common primary benign tumor with an incidence of up to 0.33% in autopsy series; it accounts for approximately 75% all cardiac valvular tumors. We describe a rare case 28-Year-old man that while playing football, had sudden onset neurological deficit: aphasia, right hemiparesis and facial numbness. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed 10x10 mm mass attached anterior mitral valve leaflet. The patient was treated surgically prevention further...

Our aim was to perform antegrade selective cerebral perfusion with a different surgical technique using new type of cannula.This cannula has been designed be introduced in the supra-aortic vessels directly standard guidewire (Seldinger technique). The can also inserted from ostia vessel if preferred. Furthermore, this device before institution hypothermic circulatory arrest and opening aortic arch.We have performed operations on 5 patients so far cannula. No stroke or spinal cord injuries...
Background: Postoperative blood hyperlactaemia is an indicator of organ anaerobic metabolism and associated with morbidity after cardiac surgery. This prospective study aims to explore the source, triggers clinical implications for in patients undergoing mitral valve surgery using Custodiol cardioplegia. Methods: Twenty consecutive elective open-heart repair/replacement (based on Bretschneider’s HTK-solution) cardioplegia were recruited. A serial measurement arterial lactate was performed....
Dabigatran exilate has emerged as a highly effective tool in treating atrial fibrillation, AF). Its relative convenience terms of cost and overall utility with respect to other anti-coagulants, however, not been explored much detail yet.We run Markovian disease simulation model based on cohort 1000 randomly generated patients which were sub-grouped by average risk hemorrhage stroke compare treatments Aspirin, Warfarin Dabigatran. Quality-adjusted life-year, QALYs) for the projected over up...
Very interesting article (1) about minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. The port access is evolving in “video-port access”, it means smaller incision, video-guided mini-thoracotomy approach 4–6 cm, the view of surgical field achieved with 30° or even 120° camera, high definition and inclusive 3D visualization used 5 10 mm optics. aim reduction trauma, a major increase patient comfort, faster recovery as well better cosmetic results. It became more an ultra-specialized field, which...
Abstract We report a rare case of limited chronic dissection the ascending aorta that was accidentally discovered at operation performed for severe aortic stenosis and moderate to dilatation aorta. Preoperative investigations such as transoesophageal echocardiography cardiac catheterization missed diagnosis dissection. Intraoperative findings included 3.5 cm eccentric bulge 5 mm circular shaped intimal tear comunicating with hematoma or small media layer. (The rarety is area (approximatively...
Antegrade selective cerebral perfusion has become the preferred choice for brain protection during aortic arch surgery. To perform antegrade perfusion, cannulas have been introduced directly into ostia of supra-aortic vessels (SAV) after institution hypothermic circulatory arrest and opening arch. We describe a different surgical technique with new type cannula perfusion. This cannula, called AV (Andrea Venturini) designed to be in SAV using standard guidewire (Seldinger's technique). The...
Central MessageVery asymmetrical bicuspid aortic valves can be repaired with promising results using the reimplantation technique that allows modification of valve phenotype: from type C to B. Very Bicuspid (BAVs) have been recently divided into 3 different types in a repair-oriented classification1de Kerchove L. Mastrobuoni S.
