Embolism and Infection. Dangerous Liaisons in Long-Term Mechanical Circulatory Support Device Carriers
An analysis of the EUROMACS registry assessing the relationship between thromboembolic events and preceding infectious phenomena in patients with long-term left ventricular assist devices (LVADs).
In pursuit of improved outcomes in reoperative mitral valve surgery: resternotomy, minimally invasive approach, and transcatheter procedures
Data from the Dutch registry comparing perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing reoperative surgery for isolated mitral valve disease using either resternotomy or minimally invasive approaches.
TEVAR for Uncomplicated Acute Type B Aortic Dissection: The Key Is in the Details
Five year outcomes of the American Registry in patients with uncomplicated acute type B aortic dissection treated within the first 30 days with TEVAR vs. conservative management
Impact of prosthesis-patient mismatch in the Asian population following transcatheter aortic valve implantation
This article examines for the first time the incidence of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) and its midterm clinical impact on an Asian patient cohort undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
“Resect” vs “respect” in posterior leaflet prolapse: impact on left ventricular function
This retrospective study investigates which mitral repair technique for treating posterior leaflet prolapse best preserves left ventricular (LV) function, evaluated through global longitudinal strain (GLS).
New Tools in Aortopathy Clinics for Predicting Diameter Progression in Patients with Chronic Aortopathies Under Surveillance
This document comprises two descriptive studies that suggest biochemical and clinical markers as predictors for adverse outcomes in patients with aortic aneurysms under surveillance.
