Single-center retrospective observational study assessing the feasibility and mid-term outcomes of combined endoscopic aortic and mitral valve surgery in consecutive patients treated at a high-volume center.
Systematic review of the literature exploring the efficacy and safety of intentional fracture of bioprosthetic valves as a tool to improve hemodynamics during valve-in-valve implantation using TAVI.
A multicentre retrospective study analysing long-term outcomes after endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms, comparing procedures performed within and outside device instructions for use, with particular focus on survival and the need for reintervention.
First-in-human, pilot, non-comparative study assessing the clinical feasibility of a new polymeric trileaflet surgical aortic valve prosthesis designed to pursue long-term durability without the need for chronic anticoagulation.
Observational cohort study analysing the impact of implementing a heart transplantation programme based on controlled donation after circulatory death on clinical outcomes from the time of inclusion on the waiting list.
This single-center retrospective observational study evaluates the impact of an initial strategy based on microaxial flow support with Impella® devices, comparing percutaneous models (Impella 2.5®/CP®) with high-flow devices surgically implanted via the axillary approach (Impella 5.0®/5.5®), and their effect on clinical stabilization, access to delayed surgery, and early survival in patients with post-infarction ventricular septal defect (VSD).
This retrospective observational study examines how the implementation of a dedicated on-call specialist aortic surgery rota reduces in-hospital mortality and enables more complex repairs in patients with acute type A aortic dissection.
A new CTSNet video presents a simple yet highly effective variant of the Bentall–de Bono operation: a double proximal mattress-type suture that enhances sealing and security at the aortoventricular junction without altering the remainder of the procedure.
The Danish NIDUS registry provides one of the most comprehensive contemporary series on left-sided infective endocarditis, with particular emphasis on the role of surgery in real-world clinical practice.
The 2025 European guidelines redefine the management of myopericardial inflammation under a unified clinical concept—Inflammatory Myopericardial Syndrome (IMPS)—and deliver practical updates on diagnostic pathways, therapeutic approaches and circulatory support strategies.
