The metaverse is an alternative digital world, accessed by means of dedicated audiovisual devices. In this parallel various forms artificial intelligence meet, including individuals in the form copies real people (avatars), able to interact socially. Metaverse medicine may be used many different ways. possibility perform surgery at a distance thousands miles separating patient from surgeon, who could have also visualize real-time patient's clinical data, diagnostic images, obviously very...
Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is an uncommon yet dreadful complication in patients with prosthetic valves that requires a distinct analysis from native endocarditis. The present study aims to investigate independent risk factors for early surgical outcomes PVE. A retrospective cohort was conducted 8 Italian Cardiac Surgery Units January 2000 December 2013 by enrolling all PVE undergoing treatment. total of 209 consecutive were included the study. During period, global rate procedures...
Objectives: The treatment of secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) is still controversial. In 2019, a new conceptual framework was introduced, distinguishing between patients with degree MR “proportionate” to the left ventricular (LV) dilatation and in whom severity “disproportionate” LV dilatation. aim this study compare long-term outcome disproportionate vs. proportionate who underwent valve (MV) surgery. Methods: From January 2012 June 2022, 96 preoperative diagnosis pure dysfunction MV...
Abstract Background Severe native aortic regurgitation is characterized by volume overload and structural myocardial changes leading to progressive left ventricular dysfunction. Surgical valve replacement (SAVR) transcatheter implantation (TAVI) may favor ventricle reverse remodeling (LVRR). Objectives To evaluate the immediate mid–term LVRR in patients treated for pure define best predictors of among echocardiographic parameters. Methods 55 undergoing SAVR or TAVI disease bioprosthetic...
The aim of the study was to compare early and long-term results pectoralis muscle flap reconstruction with those sternal rewiring following failed closure. Primary outcomes were survival failure rate. Respiratory function, chronic pain quality life also evaluated. In a propensity-score matching analysis, 94 patients who underwent reconstruction, 40 selected; 20 bilateral flaps (Group 1) 2). Survival rates evaluated by in-hospital records at follow-up. function measures, including vital...
Sodium−glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors or gliflozins, the newest anti-hyperglycemic class, induce cardioprotective benefits in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). As platelet activation and oxidative stress play a key role atherothrombotic-related complications, we hypothesized that gliflozins might modulate stress, thrombus formation. We performed an interventional open-label single-arm before-after study 32 T2D on top of their ongoing metformin therapy. The population was divided into...
Primary heart sarcomas are exceedingly rare tumors. Among primary cardiac sarcomas, synovial sarcoma is one of the rarest, involving cavities or pericardium. Two cases presented with clinical course and therapy. Both were treated surgery chemo/radiotherapy. Interestingly, patient, a 52-year-old male an intracardiac sarcoma, undergone SynCardia total artificial implantation, but died for multiple pulmonary metastases waiting transplantation. Complete surgical resection gold standard therapy,...
Hemostasis is impaired during CABG and coagulation abnormalities often result in clinically relevant organ dysfunctions, eventually increasing morbidity mortality rates. Fifteen consecutive patients with coronary artery disease submitted to conventional extracorporeal circulation (cECC) have been compared 15 matched patients, using mini-ECC (MECC). Postoperative lung function was evaluated according gas exchange, intubation time injury score. In the MECC group, thrombin-antithrombin complex...
Objective Despite conflicting evidence available, minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) is increasingly used as an alternative to full sternotomy. We sought compare early outcomes of through a sternotomy (conventional [CAVR]) and upper ministernotomy (MIAVR). Methods analyzed 297 patients having undergone primary, elective, isolated MIAVR or CAVR between January 2014 June 2018. Following propensity score matching, 120 remained in each group. Results required longer bypass (93 ±...
Despite general agreement on the benefits of Heart Team approach for patients with cardiac diseases, few data are available its real impact decision-making process. The aim study is to define evolution over time level systematic discussion in and evaluate adherence recommendations clinical outcome patients.In 2015--2016, an experienced surgeon a cardiologist independently reviewed series 100 (Group 1, G1) subsequently each patient recommended treatment (surgical, percutaneous, hybrid or...
Aortic root replacement with a biological conduit results in excellent hemodynamics but has limited durability. We report series of six patients who underwent successful Perceval-S surgical aortic valve implantation following deterioration composite and discuss the technical details importance appropriate sizing for this procedure.
To evaluate the fate of on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (ON-pump CABG) vs. off-pump (OP-CABG) surgery at mid-term follow-up.From January 2008 to December 2010, 369 patients underwent surgical myocardial revascularization by means OP-CABG techniques (n = 166) or with ON-pump CABG 203). Data two groups were retrospectively analyzed.As compared OP-CABG, in patients, mean value Logistic EuroSCORE (8.1 ± 7.8% 6.2 5.9%, P 0.04), more extended disease (2.7 0.5 2.5 0.7 diseased...
Clinical benefits of minimally invasive cardiac valve surgery (MIVS) have been reported. Improved postoperative mental status was never analyzed with dedicated psychological tests. In the present study we intend to investigate potential MIVS for patient well-being, special attention relevance perception chest surgical scar, self body image and cosmetic aspects.Between 2016 2017, 87 eligible patients, age 66.5 ± 14.5 years, operated on heart surgery, underwent either conventional full...
