A multicenter registry evaluating the largest series to date regarding the outcomes of transcatheter valve implantation in the mitral position in massive annular calcification (ViMAC) using a transatrial approach during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
This study examines patients with ischemic heart disease and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with restrictive mitral annuloplasty (RMA), assessing the effects on left ventricular (LV) volume reduction one year post-surgery.
Comparison of readmission rates and outcomes in patients after biological vs mechanical mitral valve prosthesis implantation in a multicenter American registry.
A multicenter German registry compares short- and mid-term outcomes of transcatheter mitral valve implantation versus surgical reoperation for cases of bioprosthetic degeneration or failed repairs involving annuloplasty.
Review article from Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon that revisits the most relevant articles published in 2022 in the field of cardiac surgery.
International Multicenter SURD-IR Registry Report on Pacemaker Implantation Following Sutureless and Rapid-Deployment Prostheses
A prospective cohort study conducted at Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden aimed to identify potential risk factors contributing to in-hospital heart failure and postoperative mortality following aortic valve replacement in patients with tricuspid and bicuspid valves.
This study analyzes a longitudinal cohort using the French national hospitalization database to compare medium-term outcomes between percutaneous edge-to-edge therapy and isolated mitral surgery in patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
This consensus document, prepared by the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS), the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC), and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), addresses the comprehensive assessment of frail patients before procedures, aiming to determine intraoperative risk, short-term mortality, and the likelihood of neurological complications. The goal is to provide patients with improved information regarding their post-intervention functionality and quality of life.
Review of the surgical technique for “Y”-incision aortic root enlargement and its short-term outcomes in 119 patients.
