Novel concept of less invasive concomitant surgical aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting avoiding full median sternotomy
AbstractIn the last decades, minimally invasive procedures have been developed in the therapy of aortic valve disorders. Recently, a novel concept of minimally invasive coronary revascularization in multivessel disease via left anterior mini-thoracotomy demonstrated promising results. Full median sternotomy, as a very invasive procedure, is the standard approach in concomitant surgical aortic valve replacement (sAVR) and coronary bypass grafting (CABG). The aim of our study was to show that the combination of minimal invasive aortic valve replacement via upper mini-sternotomy and coronary artery bypass grafting via left an...

Rescue aortic valvuloplasty for severe aortic stenosis is simple and effective in severely hemodynamically compromised patients presenting to centers without on-site heart surgery or TAVI facilities
AbstractManagement of high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a challenging issue. The prognosis of patients with AS presenting  with therapy-refractory pulmonary edema (RPE) or cardiogenic shock (CS) remains poor. The purpose of this study was to assess the 30-day mortality of rescue percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty (PBAV) in AS patients presenting with RPE or CS in a community-based hospital without on- site heart surgery. From January 2016 to February 2019, we identified consecutively admitted patients with CS or RPE related to severe AS who underwent emergent PBAV. The primary end...

Failure of Guidelines and Consensus Statements to Recommend Follow-up for Chronic Cardiovascular Conditions
Follow-up of chronic medical conditions affects subsequent outcomes through adherence and early detection of progression of disease. Examples include adherence to anticoagulation therapy improving stroke rates and survival in atrial fibrillation,1 adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy improving survival in heart failure,2,3 and regular clinic follow-up of asymptomatic aortic stenosis identifying the optimal time for valve replacement.4,5 While close follow-up of chronic cardiac conditions can improve outcomes,6 and lack of follow-up is a barrier to medication adherence,7 we have observed that practitioners in our...

Short- and Mid-Term Outcomes of Complex and High-Risk Versus Standard Percutaneous Coronary Interventions in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
J Invasive Cardiol. 2022 Dec 15:JIC20221215-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing TAVR varies and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We evaluated the outcomes of complex and high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (CHIP-PCIs) and TAVR compared with standard PCI and TAVR. Between January 2014 and March 2021, a total of 276 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who underwent TAVR and PCI at 3 centers within Northwell Health were retrospectively reviewed. CHIP-PCI was defined as PCI with one of the following: left ventri...

Assessment of the left ventricular outflow tract during cardiac anaesthesia with biplane transoesophageal echocardiography: An observational study
BACKGROUND Assessment of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) area is a key component of quantification of aortic stenosis and stroke volume. Current international guidelines recommend measurement of the LVOT diameter with two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography and assume a circle. This may lead to erroneous measures of aortic valve area and adversely affect peri-operative decision making. Multiplane orthogonal (biplane) and three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography imaging may allow more accurate calculation of LVOT, aortic valve area and stroke volume. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the shape and area of the LVOT with co...

Prevalence of In-hospital Stroke Comparing MitraClip and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and mitraclip (MC) are increasingly utilized for the treatment of aortic stenosis (AS) and mitral regurgitation (MR), respectively. Perioperative stroke is one of the most serious complications following TAVI given the valve calcification and possible embolization during valve implantation, and thus ongoing trials are assessing the use of embolic protection device following TAVI. On the other hand, no such trials are being conducted on MC as the evidence of stroke following MC is lacking and MC does not share the same etiology with TAVI 1.

Clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in failed bioprosthetic surgical valves vs. native aortic stenosis: insights from a meta-analysis
AbstractThere is no meta-analysis comparing clinical outcomes between valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation for failed surgical bioprosthetic valves (ViV-TAVI) and native valve TAVI for aortic stenosis (NV-TAVI). We aimed to investigate clinical outcomes between ViV-TAVI and NV-TAVI using a meta-analysis. EMBASE and MEDLINE were searched through April 2020 to investigate the comparative outcomes between ViV-TAVI and NV-TAVI. The main outcomes were short-term (30-day/in-hospital) mortality, pacemaker implantation (PMI), life threatening and/or major bleeding, stroke, and coronary obstruction, and long-term ...

What Are the Main Acyanotic Congenital Heart Diseases?
Discussion Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are malformations of the heart and great vessels. It occurs in about 5-8/1000 live births. Cyanotic congenital heart disease is often noted perinatally because of cyanosis, respiratory distress and/or poor feeding or other distress type problems. A review can be found here. Acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD) can present at birth but often is seen in older children or adults unless the lesions are severe, especially obstructive lesions. Severe lesions may also cause cyanosis and distress type problems in patients also. Shunting lesions cause problems by diverting blood flo...

A Case of Successful Treatment of Cerebral Embolism Using Endovascular Thrombectomy Immediately After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
TRANSCATHETER aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a less invasive alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. However, there are increasing concerns about the potential complications of TAVI now that its indications have been expanded to include patients with low-to-intermediate surgical risk.1,2 One of the serious complications of TAVI is stroke. It is known that there is an increase in 30-day mortality, rates of respiratory insufficiency and postprocedural delirium, and duration of hospital stay if stroke occurs.

‘ Take Action ’ : Dave McGillivray ’s Message To Anyone Ignoring Symptoms Of Heart Disease
BOSTON (CBS) – There aren’t many people who run their age in miles every year. Dave McGillivray does. From the time he was a boy, he’s celebrated his good health and love of running with a personal challenge that obviously gets more challenging with age. His last “full” birthday run was last year: 63 miles. This year, by necessity, he split the effort into 32 miles of running and 32 miles of biking. A feat, to be sure. But this year, he is facing a challenge for which there is no training. McGillivray, arguably one of the most fit people on the planet, has coronary artery disease and is preparing to undergo ...
