Transcatheter, sutureless and conventional aortic-valve replacement: a network meta-analysis of 16,432 patients.
Conclusions: In selected patients, minimally invasive surgical interventions including TAVI and SL-AVR for severe AS are viable alternatives to conventional surgery. However, TAVI is associated with increased paravalvular regurgitation, whereas TAVI and SL-AVR are associated with increased conduction disturbances compared to CAVR. PMID: 30863588 [PubMed]

Basic movements for postoperative exercise in patients with left ventricular assist devices.
Authors: Polastri M, Zagnoni G, Loforte A Abstract Patients with advanced heart failure refractory to medical therapy can be treated with left ventricular assist devices, implanted to augment or replace left ventricular function. The most common postoperative complications are infection; bleeding; thromboembolic events; device malfunction; depression, and neurological dysfunction (stroke, transient ischemic attacks, encephalopathy). Their onset contributes to the interruption and delay in commencing a physiotherapy program. During the initial postoperative phase, patients with left ventricular assist devices are no...

Bronchoscopic delivery of aminocaproic acid as a treatment for pulmonary bleeding: A case series
ConclusionsEndobronchial administration of ε-aminocaproic acid during bronchoscopy may be a safe and efficacious option in the treatment and prevention of pulmonary bleeding. Further studies are necessary to better define ε-aminocaproic acid's safety profile, optimal routes of administration, and comparative effectiveness to tranexamic acid.

The brain-heart connection: a multiple sclerosis relapse presenting as Takotsubo Syndrome. A case report and literature review.
Authors: Dell'Aquila A, Sciatti E, Vizzardi E, Metra M Abstract We hereby report a puzzling case of multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse presenting as Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Female, 42-years old, who presented herself to the Emergency Room of University Hospital "ASST Spedali Civili" of Brescia, Italy, for a severe headache and a non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiogram showed no signs of coronary atherosclerosis. Upon further neurological evaluation, a diagnosis of MS relapse, related to TTS, was made, and treatment was started accordingly. The patient was discharged after 12 days after t...

Aortic and mitral valve surgery for infective endocarditis with reconstruction of the intervalvular fibrous body: an analysis of clinical outcomes.
Conclusions: The double-valve replacement and AMC reconstruction (the Commando procedure) is an effective technique in complex heart valve disease. The short- and mid-term results with this technique are optimal, with a very low in-hospital mortality and nearly 100% of long-term survival during follow-up. PMID: 32395280 [PubMed]

Use of durable left ventricular assist devices for high-risk patients: Korean experience before insurance coverage.
Conclusions: All patients who received LVADs before insurance coverage had contraindications for HT. The overall outcomes were comparable with those reported in the international registry. PMID: 33447412 [PubMed]

Argon Plasma Coagulation: Elucidation of the Mechanism of Gas Embolism
Conclusions: Direct mucosal contact with the APC probe leads to submucosal gas deposition and is a likely mechanism for gas entry into the intravascular space. In reported cases of APC-associated gas embolism, presence of a vascularized endobronchial tumor may have increased the risk of gas tracking into the intravascular space. Care should be taken when applying APC during brisk bleeding or limited vision, as inadvertent mucosal contact may occur and could increase the risk of gas embolism.Respiration

Minimally invasive and robotic coronary artery bypass grafting-a 25-year review
J Thorac Dis. 2021 Mar;13(3):1922-1944. doi: 10.21037/jtd-20-1535.ABSTRACTDuring the mid-1990s cardiac surgery started exploring minimally invasive methods for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and has over a 25-year period developed highly differentiated and less traumatic operations. Instead of the traditional sternotomy mini-incisions on the chest or ports are placed, surgery on the beating heart is applied, sophisticated remote access heart lung machine systems as well as videoscopic units are available, and robotic technology enables completely endoscopic approaches. This review describes these methods, reports o...
