This Swedish retrospective observational study compares the long-term risk of cancer incidence in relation to the use or omission of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
This retrospective observational study, based on real-world data, aimed to assess the 10-year outcomes of the St. Jude/Abbott Epic® porcine mitral valve.
This was a single-center, retrospective observational cohort study that assessed the prevalence of paravalvular leak (PVL) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in over 3000 patients and its impact on long-term survival based on leak severity.
This retrospective single-center study (Mayo Clinic) aimed to assess early and late outcomes of patients who underwent extended septal myectomy due to recurrent left ventricular outflow tract gradients following prior septal reduction therapy, either percutaneous (alcohol septal ablation) or surgical.
We review the indications for intervention in aortic stenosis (AS) according to the 2021 ESC/EACTS Guidelines, offering a practical perspective on how to apply these recommendations in real-world surgical settings. Additionally, we analyze recent evidence that may anticipate significant updates in future guideline revisions.
