Evidence for and risks of endovascular treatment of asymptomatic acute type B aortic dissection.
Abstract
Acute aortic dissection is a challenging disease to manage. Type B aortic dissection has traditionally been divided temporally into acute and chronic cases but more recently this classification has been modified to include a sub-acute phase. Computed tomography is the imaging technique used most frequently in diagnosis and management. Active management of blood pressure is essential and should include beta-blockade unless contra-indicated. In-hospital outcomes are generally acceptable in patients with medically managed acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection, with up to 90% of patients surviving to h...

Left Atrial Thrombus Formation in a Patient With Severe Non-rheumatic Mitral Stenosis After Mitral Valve Repair Receiving Dual Antiplatelet Therapy: A Clinical Challenge
A 60-YEAR-OLD, 88-kg, 165-cm woman presented to a community hospital with heart failure 5 years after mitral valve repair for mitral regurgitation. The patient previously suffered an ischemic stroke and was currently treated with dual antiplatelet therapy. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed severe mitral stenosis with a mean transmitral gradient of 10 mmHg and thickening of the posterior left atrial wall. The patient was then transferred to the authors ’ institution for mitral valve replacement.

Techniques and outcomes of total aortic arch repair with frozen elephant trunk for DeBakey I dissections.
This report focuses on the techniques and outcomes of TAR with FET for acute/chronic aortic dissection. A review of pooled literature including 27 observational studies showed in-hospital mortality, permanent stroke, and spinal cord injury rates of 8.4 %, 5.9 % and 2.6 % for acute aortic dissections, and 7.5 %, 4.0 % and 4.6 % for chronic aortic dissections, respectively. In most of the studies, complete false lumen thrombosis rate was achieved in 80% of patients at the level of FET for acute and chronic aortic dissections. Mid-term outcomes are equally promising. For chronic aortic dissections, positive remodeling of the ...

Sociodemographic disparities in concomitant left atrial appendage occlusion during cardiac valve operations
by Ayesha P. Ng, Nikhil Chervu, Yas Sanaiha, Amulya Vadlakonda, Elsa Kronen, Peyman Benharash
BackgroundSociodemographic disparities in atrial fibrillation (AF) management and thromboembolic prophylaxis have previously been reported, which may involve inequitable access to left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) during cardiac surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of LAAO utilization with sex, race, and hospital region among patients with AF undergoing heart valve operations. MethodsAdults with AF undergoing valve replacement/repair in the 2012 –2019 National Inpatient Sample were identified and str...
