Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is the standard treatment for severe aortic stenosis, but post-TAVR leaflet thrombus, identified by hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT), poses potential risks like cerebral thromboembolic events. Perivalvular thrombus has also been reported. The ADAPT-TAVR study compared edoxaban with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to prevent leaflet thrombus and associated risks post-TAVR.

milla1cf Mon, 02/26/2024 - 12:40 February 26, 2024 — More than 6 million Americans live with heart failure , and about half have an enlarged left ventricle, which causes stress on the heart and less blood pumped with each heartbeat. The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is the first in central Ohio to take part in a global clinical trial to use a novel therapy to reduce the size of the left ventricle without open-heart surgery.

The difficulty and complexity of lead extraction procedures increase with the age of the lead to be extracted. The extraction of old (>20 years) leads is more time-consuming and requires advanced tools and a complex technique. In this case, we retrieved a very old (>30 years) lead using a loop formed by a catheter and a gooseneck snare. The catheter was rotated to remove the lead-bound sites.

Background The occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is common and linked to unfavorable consequences while identifying it in its early stages remains a challenge. The aim of this research was to examine whether the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR), an innovative inflammation-related risk indicator, has the ability to predict the development of AKI in individuals after cardiac surgery.

Graft selection has been shown to influence the outcomes following CABG. During the last almost 60 years saphenous vein grafts (SVG) together with the internal mammary artery have become the standard of care for patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Objective We sought to develop and validate a mortality prediction model for heart transplantation (HT) using nutrition-related indicators, which clinicians could use to identify patients at high risk of death after HT. Method The model was developed for and validated in adult participants in China who received HT between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2020. 428 subjects were enrolled in the study and randomly divided into derivation and validation cohorts at a ratio of 7:3.

A totally endoscopic minimally invasive approach is widely used for cardiac valve surgery in normal adults. However, minimally invasive cardiac surgery during pregnancy is rarely reported. In addition to traditional median thoracotomy, totally endoscopic minimally invasive approaches can now be used for pregnant patients. We describe our experience with totally endoscopic cardiac valve surgery (TECVS) during pregnancy, which is safe for both mothers and fetuses.
