013 * european multicentre experience with sutureless perceval valve: clinical and haemodynamic outcomes up to 5 years in over 700 patients
Conclusion: This European multicentre experience with the largest cohort of patients with sutureless valves to date shows excellent clinical and haemodynamic results that remain stable even up to 5 years follow-up. Even in this elderly patient cohort with 40% octogenarians, both early and late mortality were very low. There were no valve migrations, structural valve degeneration or valve thrombosis in follow-up. The sutureless technique is a promising alternative to biological AVR.

297 * early and late outcomes of complex aortic root surgery in patients with aortic root abscesses
Conclusion: The surgical treatment of aortic root abscess is a challenging operation and is associated with a high early morbidity and mortality. However, the long-term survival is satisfactory.

300 * influence of different pacemaker stimulation modes in patients with ventricular hypertrophy
Conclusion: An increase in the heart rate does not lead to a notable drop in stroke volume postoperatively in left-ventricular hypertrophy; hence a rise in cardiac output can be anticipated up to a rate of 100 bpm. A standardised response in terms of an ideal pacemaker stimulation mode could not be identified.

302 * full sternotomy versus right anterior mini-thoracotomy for isolated aortic valve replacement in octogenarians: a propensity matched study
Conclusion: Minimally invasive AVR through RAMT can be safely performed in patients aged ≥80 years with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. It is an expeditious and effective alternative to full sternotomy AVR and might be associated with lower stroke incidence.

092 * early and long-term outcomes of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery through right mini-thoracotomy: a ten-year experience in 1604 patients
Conclusion: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery is a safe and reproducible approach associated with low mortality and morbidity, high rate of mitral valve repair and excellent late results.

098 * long-term results of the david procedure in patients with acute type a aortic dissection
Conclusion: The David procedure certainly provides a challenging option to treat selected young patients with AI in the presence of AAD. However, current data suggest that it is safe and feasible even in emergency cases. Long-term valve-related events are rare and aortic valve function remains stable for many years.

Dental implants in patients at high risk for infective endocarditis: a preliminary study
Abstract: The safety of dental implant placement in patients at high risk for infective endocarditis (IE) has never been shown. The outcome of osseointegrated implants in patients with artificial heart valves or with a history of an infected valve is not known. In this article we describe our experience of dental implant placement in patients at high risk for IE. A retrospective study was conducted on patients at high risk for IE who underwent dental implant placement. All the patients received prophylactic antibiotic treatment before the surgical procedure, in accordance with the relevant American Heart Association guidel...

Profile of infective endocarditis observed from 2003 - 2010 in a single center in Italy
Conclusion: S. aureus emerged as the leading causative organism of IE in a University hospital in northern Italy. Our study confirmed the high in-hospital mortality of IE, particularly if health-care associated, and the protective role of surgery.

318 * minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with the perceval s sutureless valve: early outcomes and mid-term survival from two european centres
Conclusions: Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement with the Perceval S sutureless valve in high-risk patients is a safe and reproducible procedure associated with excellent haemodynamic results, postoperative outcomes and mid-term survival.

Minimally invasive tricuspid valve surgery in patients at high risk
Conclusions: The heart-port–based minimally invasive approach seems to be safe, feasible, and reproducible in case of tricuspid valve operations. It ensures low perioperative morbidity, moderate to low rates of tricuspid regurgitation recurrence, and low late mortality. It also seems to have an added value in case of reoperative procedures.

Comparison of Characteristics and Short-Term Outcome From Fungal Infective Endocarditis in Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis Versus Native Valve Endocarditis
In conclusion, fungal IE is associated with high mortality and recurrence rates. Surgery performed in selected cases may improve the outcomes, but the recurrence rate remains high.

Transapical aortic valve implantation: mid-term outcome from the SOURCE registry ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate that in elderly patients with severe co-morbidities, TA aortic valve implantation results in excellent mid-term results. Causes of death during the mid-term follow-up are mainly non-cardiac and related to co-morbidities.

Central nervous system embolism in the course of infective endocarditis.
Abstract Despite the progress made in diagnosis and treatment of heart valve diseases, the incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) remains constant. It is still associated with high mortality and high rate of embolic complications, including most dangerous one, i.e. stroke. It has a significant impact on further treatment and qualifications for cardiac surgery. In this paper, the authors discuss the epidemiology, mechanisms of stroke and its impact on the qualifications for cardiac surgery. The authors discuss the problem of clinically silent central nervous system embolism in the course of IE and the usefulness ...

Clinical outcomes of aortic root replacement after previous aortic root replacement
Conclusions: Aortic root replacement after a previous aortic root replacement is associated with a relatively low operative mortality and perioperative morbidity, but long-term survival is suboptimal. Increasing age and prosthetic valve endocarditis adversely affect survival.
