“A contemporary description of staphylococcus aureus prosthetic valve endocarditis. Differences according to the time elapsed from surgery”
Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic valve endocarditis (SAPVE) has a poor prognosis. There are no large series that accurately describe this entity. This is a retrospective observational study on a prospective cohort from 3 Spanish reference hospitals for cardiac surgery, including 78 definitive episodes of left SAPVE between 1996 and 2016. Fifty percent had a Charlson Index score>5; 53% were health care-related. Twenty percent did not present fever. Complications at diagnosis included: severe heart failure (HF, 29%), septic shock (SS, 17.9%), central nervous system abnormalities (19%), septic metastasis (4%). Hemorrhagic s...

Infective endocarditis without biological inflammatory syndrome: Description of a particular entity.
CONCLUSIONS: Left-sided valvular IE with limited or no biological syndrome is rare, but is often associated with severe valvular and paravalvular lesions. TOE should be performed in presence of unexplained heart failure, new valvular regurgitation or cardioembolic stroke when TTE is insufficient to rule out endocarditis, even in patients with a low CRP concentration.

Stroke in patients with prosthetic valve endocarditis : Single-center cohort study in China.
CONCLUSION: Stroke is a common complication in PVE that increases patient mortality. Rheumatic heart disease, double valve replacement, and fungal infection may be risk factors for patients with PVE complicated by stroke. PMID: 31076822 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Long-term outcomes with mechanical versus biological aortic valve prosthesis in patients >70 years
ConclusionsMechanical aortic valve prosthesis is associated with worse long-term survival and increased bleeding after SAVR in patients aged>70 years. Our results suggest caution when considering mechanical aortic valve prostheses in elderly patients.

Outcomes after Ross procedure in adult patients: A meta ‐analysis and microsimulation
ConclusionsRoss procedure in nonelderly adults is associated with low mortality and low risk of adverse events both at short ‐ and long‐term follow‐up. The surgical community must prioritize a large, expertize‐based randomized controlled trial to definitively address the risks and benefits of the Ross procedure compared to conventional aortic valve replacement.

Determining Which Prosthetic to Use During Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients Aged Younger than 70 Years: A Systematic Review of the Literature.
CONCLUSIONS: Published literature does not preclude the use of bioprostheses for AVR in younger patients. As new valves are developed, the use of bioprosthetic aortic valves in younger patients will likely continue to expand. Clinical trials are needed to provide surgeons with more accurate guidelines.

Incidence and in-hospital Safety Outcomes of Patients undergoing Percutaneous Mitral Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair Using MitraClip ® - 5 year German national patient sample including 13,575 implants.
CONCLUSIONS: MitraClip® implantations increased markedly 5.4-fold between 2011 and 2015, with a constant in-hospital mortality and MACCE rate. Our data indicate that edge-to-edge mitral valve repair in MitraClip® technique has acceptable in-hospital safety outcomes in a real world scenario. PMID: 30666965 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aortic valve replacement by mechanical prosthesis in children: A positive long-term outcome including for patients with an infantile Marfan syndrome
ConclusionsLong-term results after AVR are excellent. Complications associated with surgery and long-term anticoagulation are rare. This study gives confidence in aortic mechanical prosthesis valve replacement including for children with an infantile MS.

Systemic atrioventricular valve replacement by mechanical prosthesis in children: Evolution in practice and predictors of long-term outcome
ConclusionsSAVR replacement remains a challenging procedure with high mortality but limited mortality related to anticoagulation. Modifications of the operative technics are one of the major causes of better long-term outcome.

Salvage Coronary Artery Bypass Predicts Increased Mortality During Aortic Root Operation
ConclusionsCABG-R results in increased postoperative morbidity or mortality compared with isolated ROOT. Outcomes, however, are influenced by the specific clinical indication. CABG for coronary artery disease was associated with similar outcomes compared with isolated ROOT. Patients undergoing unplanned CABG for acute ventricular failure had the worst outcomes, thus underscoring the importance of technical success during coronary reimplantation.

Does Mitral Valve Calcium In Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement Portend Worse Survival?
ConclusionsConservative approach to treat MAC achieves satisfactory results. Patients with MAC have significant comorbidities contributing to a worse survival though MAC in itself is not a risk factor for mortality.

Hemodynamic and clinical performance of Solo stentless bioprosthetic aortic valves
ConclusionsSolo stentless aortic valves are safe to implant, with promising clinical outcomes in short- and medium-term assessment. Moreover, they show an excellent hemodynamic performance: low transvalvular gradients, large effective orifice areas and low incidence of patient-prosthesis mismatch.ResumoObjetivoDescrever o perfil hemodinâmico e resultados clínicos a curto e médio prazo das biopróteses aórticas stentless Freedom SOLO e SOLO Smart implantadas no nosso Centro.MétodosForam incluídos todos os doentes submetidos a substituição valvular aórtica por biopróteses stentless SOLO no nosso Centro, entre 2009 ...
