Right anterior thoracotomy vs. upper hemisternotomy for aortic valve replacement with Perceval S: is there a difference?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

001) and postoperative atrial fibrillation occurred less frequently (p = .044) This was a retrospective, single-center observational study. The patients were divided into two groups: the hemisternotomy group (n = 100) and the right anterior thoracotomy group (n = 74).ResultsThe ResultsThe overall in-hospital mortality was 1,7%.

Mitral Annulus Calcium Score in Patients With Calcific Mitral Stenosis Undergoing Invasive Hemodynamic Assessment

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAortic valve calcium score is associated with hemodynamic severity of aortic stenosis. years, 47% of patients were women, 50% had coronary artery disease, 40% had atrial fibrillation, 47% had prior cardiac surgery, and 33% had prior chest radiation. Median patient age was 66.9±11.2 4 mm Hg invasively.

Impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting and coronary lesion complexity on outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Objective To investigate the impact of prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and coronary lesion complexity on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes for aortic stenosis. Of these, 175 patients had a history of CABG, while 401 were free of CAD. The median CABG SYNTAX score was 16 (interquartile range: 9.0–23),

Concomitant Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and is associated with increased risk of bleeding and stroke. Conclusions: Concomitant WATCHMAN LAAO and TAVR is noninferior to TAVR with medical therapy in severe aortic stenosis patients with AF.

Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) enabled the percutaneous closure of a severely calcified paravalvular leak regurgitation following implantation of a self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Closure of paravalvular leak (PVL) regurgitation after self-expandable (SE) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) may be more challenging than after balloon-expandable (BE) valve implantation. MN, USA).

Incident cardiovascular, renal, metabolic diseases and death in individuals identified for risk-guided atrial fibrillation screening: a nationwide cohort study

Open Heart

Objective Risk-guided atrial fibrillation (AF) screening may be an opportunity to prevent adverse events in addition to stroke. The risk of AF was estimated using the FIND-AF (Future Innovations in Novel Detection of Atrial Fibrillation) risk score. to 6.85; 4.54), aortic stenosis (18.7; 12.54, 12.08
