Multicenter study evaluating the 5-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of J-Valve use for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in aortic stenosis and pure aortic regurgitation.
A retrospective, multicentre study from 9 centres in China evaluating 181 patients treated with a novel durable ventricular assist device featuring a fully magnetically levitated centrifugal pump and an ultrathin, highly flexible driveline designed to reduce local trauma at the exit site and, consequently, infection.
Editorial article which, prompted by a randomized clinical trial, highlights the need to implement new strategies for respiratory optimization in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Consensus document developed by international experts that revisits the role of the Ross operation in adult patients and provides recommendations regarding both clinical management and consolidated technical aspects.
Comparative analysis of the management of functional mitral regurgitation in its different phenotypes (ventricular and atrial), with a comprehensive evaluation that also integrates the role of concomitant surgical ablation and myocardial revascularization.
This retrospective study evaluates long-term outcomes in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) using exclusively three in situ arterial conduits: bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITA) and the right gastroepiploic artery (rGEA), all harvested using a skeletonization technique.
This study analyzes a large US national registry to evaluate whether concomitant left atrial appendage (LAA) closure during isolated mitral valve repair in patients without atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with better long-term outcomes, specifically thromboembolic events and mortality, comparing patients who underwent LAA closure with those who did not.
Multicentre observational registry providing descriptive data and exploratory analyses on surgical techniques and early outcomes in patients with atrial functional mitral regurgitation undergoing minimally invasive mitral surgery.
Valve-sparing root replacement in the reoperative setting remains a debated strategy. This study evaluates whether valve-sparing aortic root replacement can be performed safely and with acceptable durability in patients requiring resternotomy.
This systematic review and network meta-analysis compares three minimally invasive techniques for surgical aortic valve replacement: ministernotomy (MS), minithoracotomy (MT), and a totally endoscopic approach (TT).
