Effectiveness of the scheduled transfusion strategy for factor V deficiency with platelet dysfunction during coronary artery surgery
ConclusionStrategic planned platelet transfusion with the additional transfusion of an adequate amount of cryoprecipitates is thus considered to be feasible for cases presenting with factor V deficiency and platelet dysfunction. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Surgery)

Respect or resect in Barlow disease
AbstractMitral regurgitation in Barlow disease may still be challenging to be repaired. Most often it involves the posterior leaflet. Many techniques and concepts are currently available; the main goal being to restore a good surface of coaptation. Basic principles such as thorough analysis is still required whatever the approach to assess excess tissue height, width, and prolapse. Nowadays it seems that two different ways of treating mitral prolapse coexist: the nonresection one and the resection one. Both will be discussed and analyzed. Similarly, the use of artificial chordae seems to have a preponderant role to support...

Comparison of outcomes between aortic root replacement and supra ‐coronary interposition graft for type A aortic dissection: A retrospective case series
ConclusionsWith careful patient selection, the native aortic root shows good long-term durability both in terms of valve competence and stable root dimensions after surgery for ATAAD. This study supports the consideration of conservation of the aortic valve during emergency surgery for type-A dissection, in the absence of a definitive indication for root replacement, including in cases where aortic regurgitation complicates the presentation.

HeartMate 3 implantation for dextro ‐transposition of the great arteries after Mustard procedure: A technique of papillary muscle repositioning
AbstractSystemic right ventricular failure after physiologic repair for dextro-transposition of the great arteries can be managed with durable mechanical circulatory support; however, the right ventricular morphology, such as intervening papillary muscles, presents challenges to inflow cannula positioning. Papillary muscle repositioning is an innovative technique to circumvent obstructive anatomy. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Surgery)

One ‐stage repair of transposition complex and interrupted aortic arch in children
ConclusionsAlthough one-stage repair for transposition complex and IAA still has non-negligible mortality even in older children, the late outcomes of survivors are acceptable. Owing to the high rate of valve regurgitation, closer follow-up is necessary for these patients. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Surgery)

Invited commentary to one ‐stage repair of transposition complex and interrupted aortic arch in children
AbstractThe management of patients with transposition complex in combination with an interrupted aortic arch (IAA) presents a technical challenge to the surgeon to decide which is the best approach to correct both defects. This is a rare disorder and with significant variation in anatomic arrangements deciding on the ideal surgical repair. Over time, a single-stage approach to repair has become standard.

Kawasaki disease: Surgical treatment
AbstractKawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of small and medium arteries, preferably affecting coronary arteries. It is one of the most frequent causes of acquired heart disease in children. Despite being comprehensively studied, its etiopathogenesis is not totally explained. The surgical procedures usually become necessary during the late follow-up and may be coronary artery bypass grafting, cardiac defibrillator implantation with or without cardiac resynchronization therapy, or cardiac transplantation.

Prosthetic valve leaflet perforation resulting in critical aortic insufficiency: A rare late complication after use of Cor ‐knot®
AbstractThe implementation of automatic fasteners such as the Cor-knot ® device (LSI Solutions, Inc.) has revolutionized the field of minimally invasive valvular surgery. Nonetheless, paravalvular regurgitation, valvular embolization, and early leaflet perforation are all potential complications which may occur. Late manifestations of leaflet perforation (>5-year postimplantation) are rare. Herein, we discuss a patient who underwent remote Trifecta ® (St. Jude, Inc.) surgical aortic valve replacement presenting with symptomatic critical aortic regurgitation secondary to leaflet perforation from automatically fastened ...
