Evaluating the impact of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on in ‐hospital outcomes following left ventricular assist device implantation
ConclusionPatients with COPD undergoing LVAD implantation have more comorbidities, without an associated increase mortality.

Anesthesia Management for a Patient Undergoing Pulmonary Endarterctomy without Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Abstract Pulmonary endarterectomy is a curative procedure for chronic thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension. As usual, cardiopulmonary bypass circuit is required. However, there are several complications attributed to extracorporeal circulation. Hemodilution, systemic inflammatory response syndrome and leukocyte sequestration are circulation related complications. The severe forms include Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Acute Lung Injury, myocardial stunning, dysfunction of the right ventricle, coagulopathy, postoperative stroke or renal dysfunction. In this case report, we aimed to give information about perioperativ...

Aortic valve replacement with pulmonary hypertension: Meta ‐analysis of 70 676 patients
ConclusionsPatients with severe AS and severe PHT had a significant increase in operative mortality and more than double the risk of long ‐term mortality following SAVR compared with patients with no PHT. Such patients may benefit from a less invasive transcatheter aortic valve intervention.

A Comparative Study of TAVR versus SAVR in Moderate and High-Risk Surgical Patients: Hospital Outcome and Midterm Results.
CONCLUSION: In this study, we could not detect an advantage in survival when SAVR or TAVR were utilized in intermediate to high surgical risk patients needing aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis. PMID: 31596707 [PubMed - in process]

Preoperative Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Slashes Risk Score in Advanced Structural Heart Disease
ConclusionsECMO can be used as a bridge to heart valve or septal defect surgery in severely decompensated patients. Through recovery of end-organ function, ECMO may allow surgical correction of structural heart disease in patients considered inoperable or convert a salvage situation to an elective operation.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Versus Re-do Surgery for Failing Surgical Aortic Bioprosthesis: a Multi-Centre Propensity Score Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with aortic bioprosthesis failure treated with either redo-SAVR or TAV-in-SAV have similar 30-day and 1-year clinical outcomes. PMID: 28760721 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure due to severe hypernatremic dehydration.
CONCLUSION: A high index of suspicion is paramount to diagnose pulmonary hypertension and aggressive correction of the acidosis and hypoxia is needed. In the presence of severe right ventricular failure, ECMO can be used as a bridge to recovery while underlying metabolic derangements are being corrected. PMID: 28553778 [PubMed - in process]

Impact of pulmonary hypertension on in-hospital outcome after surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
CONCLUSIONS: PH is a risk factor for worse outcome of SAVR and TAVR, this fact is less pronounced among TAVR patients and our data suggest a shift towards the transcatheter approach in patients suffering PH. PMID: 28437243 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome after surgical treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: dealing with different patient subsets. A single-centre experience THORACIC
CONCLUSIONS Despite the increased perioperative risk and mortality, PEA should not be denied to patients with extremely elevated PVR but clear indication for surgery. Keeping increased perioperative risk and mortality in mind, significant pressure reduction and improved functional outcome can be achieved in the majority of these patients.

Scimitar Syndrome Repair in Adults: Intermediate-Term Results Using an Extracardiac Conduit
Conclusions Correction of scimitar syndrome with an extracardiac conduit can be easily and safely performed in adults, with excellent intermediate-term durability, without graft thrombi or stenosis. This technique avoids deep hypothermic circulatory arrest when the SV is short or enters the IVC in an unusually caudad location.

Aortic Valve Replacement in the Moderately Elevated Risk Patient: A Population-Based Analysis of Outcomes
Conclusions This population-based contemporary assessment suggests moderate-risk patients undergoing AVR experience favorable outcomes. Although increasing PROM is important in preoperative evaluation of risk, preexisting pulmonary hypertension and indication for operation are among other factors that should be considered as TAVR expands into this group of patients.
