Determinants of long-term outcome of repaired pulmonary valve stenosis
ConclusionsGood long-term outcome can be expected after PVS repair, but complications and the need for reintervention may appear. Older age and the presence of cyanosis at PVS repair emerged as predictors of cardiovascular complications and identified a population that may merit stricter control.ResumenIntroducción y objetivosAunque la estenosis de la válvula pulmonar (EVP) se considera una cardiopatía congénita de bajo riesgo, se ha descrito la aparición de complicaciones y necesidad de reintervenir durante el seguimiento. Los objetivos del estudio fueron evaluar los resultados a largo plazo de la EVP reparada e iden...

Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Is Associated With Circadian and Other Variability in Embolus Detection
Conclusions: Embolism associated with asymptomatic carotid stenosis shows circadian variation with highest rates 4–6 h before midday. This corresponds with peak circadian incidence of stroke and other vascular complications. These and ASED Study results show that monitoring frequency, duration, and time of day are important in ES detection. Introduction Transcranial Doppler (TCD) detected microembolism in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) may help stratify the risk of stroke and other arterial disease complications in persons with advanced (≥60%) asymptomatic carotid stenosis. If so, this t...

Ringless alfieri mitral valve repair for significant ischemic mitral regurgitation with coronary artery bypass grafting.
Conclusions: Alfieri mitral valve repair is associated with lower risks of mortality, postoperative stroke, and prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stays. Alfieri mitral valve repair and concomitant CABG surgery can be performed in patients with IMR. PMID: 23958527 [PubMed - in process]
