Systematic review of the literature encompassing two randomized clinical trials and several small observational studies evaluating the utility of coronary physiology assessment in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), with the aim of optimizing diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic algorithms.
This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation following tricuspid valve (TV) surgery.
This retrospective study investigated the prognostic implications of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in a cohort of 2679 patients who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR), specifically assessing the potential benefit of concomitant tricuspid valve intervention in those with moderate TR.
This observational study explores the association between mitral regurgitation (MR) severity and both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
This substudy of the DanGer Shock trial assessed outcomes associated with the use of Impella CP® for the management of cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to myocardial infarction (MI) according to patient age.
This meta-analysis of 28 studies sought to evaluate the prognostic impact of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery, with a focus on surgical procedure type and device indication.
A meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing early aortic valve replacement (either surgical or transcatheter) with a conservative strategy of close clinical surveillance in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis.
Consensus document on bleeding management, transfusion, and quality metrics in cardiac surgery
Substudy of the prospective, multicenter, randomized TITAN:SvS trial evaluating candidates for ascending aortic surgery using alternative metrics beyond aortic diameter.
This is a retrospective observational study from a high-volume center addressing aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) as a distinct clinical entity within the acute aortic syndrome (AAS) spectrum. The authors outline their therapeutic approach, with particular emphasis on surgical strategy and patient selection based on the hematoma’s location and radiological progression.
