A short case series, almost in a how-to-do-it format, describing the experience with a tricuspidization technique applied to very asymmetrical bicuspid aortic valves (Sievers type I, type C, 120-139°).
Thirty years of experience at a single center comparing open surgical repair and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for anastomotic pseudoaneurysms following thoracic or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.
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 study explores the impact of the time elapsed between coronary angiography and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients presenting with non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
This article provides an excellent overview of the historical development of cardiac xenotransplantation (transplantation using organs from other species) and clearly outlines the key concepts required to understand the current state of this technique.
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).
Contemporary review of the different modalities of pediatric cardiac donation after circulatory death
This narrative review provides a deliberately cautious overview of the current landscape of transcatheter mitral interventions.
A prospective randomized study including more than 2000 patients compared the outcomes of single antiplatelet therapy with aspirin versus dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ticagrelor during the year following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) performed for acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
This article presents a meta-analysis of randomized trials comparing the no-touch technique with the conventional harvesting technique, all including imaging-based follow-up over a mean period of 3.7 years, aiming to address the apparent discordance in the current literature.
