Complete anatomic surgical myocardial revascularisation during postinfarction ventricular septal defect and ventricular aneurysm repair is associated with improved short ‐ and long‐term outcomes
ConclusionPrimary CASMR during PIVSD and VA repair is associated with improved postoperative cardiac function, lower hospital mortality, and better long-term survival. We recommend CASMR during PIVSD and VA repair.

Novel use of the Sentinel cerebral protection device during thrombosed septal occluder explant and Atriclip appendage closure
ConclusionsWe demonstrate the first successful use of an SCPD during surgical excision of a mal-deployed occluder. With its ease of use and safety, SCPD may have utility in surgeries with high cardio-embolic risk.

Trans ‐ventricular catheter device‐based closure of postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal defect following coronary artery bypass grafting: A staged hybrid approach
AbstractA 66 ‐year‐old woman with a history of hypertension, ischemic stroke, and rheumatoid arthritis presented to the hospital with severe angina pectoris and dyspnea and was diagnosed with myocardial infarction (MI). Coronary angiography revealed multisystem coronary artery occlusive disease. Due to refra ctory myocardial ischemia/evolving MI, emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was undertaken. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography additionally revealed an apical muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD). Concomitant VSD repair was deferred due to the absence of surface evidence of transmural M...

Right mini ‐thoracotomy approach for grown‐up congenital heart disease
ConclusionsRight mini ‐thoracotomy cardiac surgery in selected patients with GUCH allows to avoid the big scar of the sternotomy approach and to accelerate the recovery in a young population. Moreover, in redo cases, it allows the surgeon to reach the heart and the aorta avoiding the well‐known risks of a re‐sterno tomy procedure.

Atrial septal defect closure in a young patient presenting with recurrent cryptogenic stroke: a case report
Having an inter-atrial shunt in the form of a patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect increases the risk of developing cryptogenic stroke. Prompt action is required in order to prevent stroke recurrence. ...

Collateral damage of COVID ‐19 pandemic: Delayed medical care
AbstractDuring the COVID ‐19 pandemic, emergency room visits have drastically decreased for non‐COVID conditions such as appendicitis, heart attack, and stroke. Patients may be avoiding seeking medical attention for fear of catching the deadly condition or as an unintended consequence of stay‐at‐home orders. This de lay in seeking care can lead to increased morbidity and mortality, which has not been figured in the assessment of the extent of damage caused by this pandemic. This case illustrates an example of “collateral damage” caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic. What would have been a standard ST‐elevati on ...

Amplatzer left atrial appendage closure: access via transseptal puncture versus patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of a PFO/ASD access for LAAC with Amplatzer devices offers similar periprocedural and late clinical outcomes as TSP. Simultaneous PFO/ASD closure for an additional protective benefit does not increase risk. PMID: 31449043 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Steps forward in minimally invasive cardiac surgery: 10-year experience
ConclusionsThe present study shows the considerable and attractive results of our decision making process based on the tailored approach: the 10-year outcome analysis demonstrates a trend toward a progressive decrease in the overall rate of post-operative complications and a significant protective effect of the tailored approach on the occurrence of stroke.

Successful heart transplantation in a patient with Loeys-Dietz Syndrome
Publication date: Available online 1 December 2018Source: The Annals of Thoracic SurgeryAuthor(s): Aliya G. Feroe, Amy G. Fiedler, David A. D’AlessandroAbstractOur patient is a 45-year-old woman with a history of Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS), vertebral artery dissection, stroke, prior atrial septal defect (ASD) repair, and spontaneous left main coronary artery dissection re-vascularized with coronary artery bypass grafting who progressed to end-stage heart failure. She was listed for cardiac transplantation and a suitable organ became available. She underwent heart transplantation over one year ago successfully. This is th...
