Valvulopathies

This retrospective single-center study evaluates the relationship between anatomical or non-anatomical disc orientation in mechanical mitral prostheses and the development of pannus.

This single-center study examines the role of the MELD scoring system, traditionally applied to advanced liver disease, in assessing surgical risk for isolated tricuspid valve surgery. This study contrasts MELD with conventional risk scoring systems, such as EuroSCORE II and STS score.

This single-center, retrospective American study evaluates outcomes of prosthesis choice in patients with advanced renal disease on dialysis.

A retrospective study from two European centers with extensive experience using Edwards Intuity® bioprostheses comparing their perioperative and five-year outcomes with the Carpentier Edwards Magna Ease® bioprosthesis in combined aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

An update on outcomes and impressions from the recent TCT Congress in San Francisco on studies examining TAVI vs. surgical aortic valve replacement in low-risk patients: PARTNER 3, Evolut-Low Risk, and NOTION.

A multicenter study based on NEOPRO and NEOPRO-2 registries analyzes the prognostic impact and predictors of pacemaker implantation following Medtronic Evolut® and Acurate NEO® self-expanding TAVI.

A retrospective study of a national database in Taiwan that examines durability outcomes for all bioprosthetic valves implanted in the aortic and/or mitral position from 2001 to 2017.

This editorial article thoroughly details the perioperative guidelines and surgical technique for aortic valve replacement with a Perceval sutureless prosthesis in patients undergoing concomitant mitral surgery.
