Comparison of Transcatheter and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Severe Aortic Stenosis: A Longitudinal Study of Echocardiography Parameters in Cohort A of the PARTNER Trial (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves)
This study sought to compare echocardiographic findings in patients with critical aortic stenosis following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).Background: The PARTNER (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves) trial randomized patients 1:1 to SAVR or TAVR.Methods: Echocardiograms were obtained at baseline, discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after the procedure and analyzed in a core laboratory. For the analysis of post-implantation variables, the first interpretable study (≤6 months) was used.Results: Both groups showed a decrease in aortic valve grad...

Use of Transaortic, Transapical, and Transcarotid Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Inoperable Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Less than half of patients deemed appropriate for posttrial TAVR were candidates for TF implantation. The use of all available access routes leads to excellent outcomes in patients deemed inoperable. PMID: 23972931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome of redo surgical aortic valve replacement in patients ≥ 80 years: results from the multicenter RECORD initiative.
CONCLUSIONS: Octogenarians undergoing S-AVR after prior cardiac surgery have similar immediate postoperative outcome to younger patients and their 5-year outcome is excellent. These data suggest that indication to TAVR should not rely only on coexistence of advanced age and history of prior cardiac surgery. PMID: 24036070 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Paradoxical Low-Flow, Low-Gradient Aortic Stenosis: New Evidences, More Questions.
Abstract In the American Heart Association (AHA) / American College of Cardiology (ACC) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) / European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery (EACTS) guidelines,(1,2) severe aortic stenosis (AS) is defined as a peak aortic jet velocity >4.0 m/s, a mean gradient >40 mmHg, and/or an aortic valve area (AVA) <1.0 cm(2) and it is considered a class I indication for aortic valve replacement (AVR) if the patient has symptoms or LV systolic dysfunction defined as LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%. However, the cardiologist is often confronted with patients with discordant ech...

151 * comparison of intermittent cold versus intermittent warm blood cardioplegia in 2200 adult cardiac surgery patients
Conclusions: In elective cardiac surgery, there was no difference in clinical outcome between cold and warm blood cardioplegia. In emergency patients, however, with most of them operated on in acute coronary syndrome, warm cardioplegia might be an option to improve outcome.

268 * cerebral embolization during transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared with surgical aortic valve replacement
Conclusions: Surgical AVR is associated with more cerebral emboli than TAVI. Emboli were detected by TCD in all patients during TAVI and AVR. The main source of emboli was termination of bypass (most probably air emboli) and device implantation during AVR and TAVI, respectively.

Transapical Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients With Previous Cardiac Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation has simplified surgical treatment of high-risk patients with previous cardiac surgery and severe aortic valve stenosis and is associated with minimal risk of stroke. Furthermore, current data suggest that the presence of previous cardiac surgery does not impair outcomes after transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation, making this subset of patients particularly applicable for this evolving approach.

The effect of the Cox-maze procedure for atrial fibrillation concomitant to mitral and tricuspid valve surgery
Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with less favorable outcomes in patients undergoing mitral valve and tricuspid valve surgery. Despite growing evidence on the potential benefits of surgical ablation for AF there is significant variability among surgeons in treatment of AF. The purpose of our study was to assess the effect of the Cox-maze procedure on operative and follow-up outcomes.Methods: In our prospective study, patients who underwent isolated mitral valve or mitral valve+tricuspid valve surgery without history of AF (n = 506), with untreated AF (n = 75), or with Cox-maze procedure (n = 236) we...

Profile of infective endocarditis observed from 2003 - 2010 in a single center in Italy
Conclusion: S. aureus emerged as the leading causative organism of IE in a University hospital in northern Italy. Our study confirmed the high in-hospital mortality of IE, particularly if health-care associated, and the protective role of surgery.

High Thoracic Epidural Analgesia as an Adjunct to General Anesthesia is Associated With Better Outcome in Low-to-Moderate Risk Cardiac Surgery Patients
Conclusion: This large, uniquely matched single-center cohort was generated, and, subject to the listed limitations the authors concluded that supplemental HTEA to general anesthesia had a better outcome in low-risk cardiac surgery patients, with a significantly lower 6-month mortality rate compared with the control group. However, regression analysis revealed that HTEA only had an independently positive effect on the frequency of postoperative dialysis.

Single center TAVR experience with a focus on the prevention and management of catastrophic complications
Conclusions: TAVR can be accomplished with excellent safety in a tertiary center with a well‐developed infrastructure for the management of serious complications. The data presented here provide support for TAVR as an important treatment option, and results from randomized trials of patients with lower surgical risk are eagerly awaited. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Impact of concurrent surgical valve procedures in patients receiving continuous-flow devices
Conclusions: Patients frequently require concurrent VPs at the time of LVAD placement; these patients are sicker and have higher early mortality. Furthermore, right ventricular dysfunction is increased in these patients. Further studies to develop selection criteria for concurrent valve interventions are important to further improve clinical outcomes.

Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Diabetes and Severe Aortic Stenosis at High Risk for Surgery An Analysis of the PARTNER Trial (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valve)
ConclusionsAmong patients with diabetes and severe symptomatic AS at high risk for surgery, this post-hoc stratified analysis of the PARTNER trial suggests there is a survival benefit, no increase in stroke, and less renal failure from treatment with transcatheter AVR compared with surgical AVR.

Advanced age and incidence of atrial fibrillation in the postoperative period of aortic valve replacement
Conclusion: Post-operative atrial fibrillation incidence in aortic valve replacement is high and correlates with age in patients aged 70 years and older and significantly more pronounced in patients aged 80 years. There was increased length of stay at Intensive Care Unit and hospital, but there was no increase in mortality or stroke. These data are important for planning prophylaxis and early treatment for this subgroup.
