This study was done to compare minimally invasive techniques for aortic valve replacement, including right anterior mini-thoracotomy and mini-sternotomy, to conventional sternotomy.doi:10.1186/s13019-019-0912-0Anna OldsSiavash SaadatAnthony Azzolini...
Stentless aortic valve replacement: current status and future trends. Stentless aortic xenografts were introduced into clinical practice as aortic valve substitutes over a decade ago. Stentless prosthetic valves were expected... Giovanni,Battista,Luciani - 《Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy》 被引量...
Background: Patients with aortic stenosis (AS) should undergo aortic valve replacement (AVR) before irreversible LV dysfunction has developed. Assessment of long-axis left ventricular (LV) function may assist in proper timing of AVR. Objectives: To assess serial changes in long-axis LV function be...
Prolonged total isovolumic time is related to reduced long-axis functional recovery following valve replacement surgery for severe aortic stenosidoi:10.1016/j.ijcard.2011.02.050Long axis functionAortic stenosisTotal isovolumic timeBackground The left ventricular (LV) long axis (Lax) function is very...

ALM = acute lymphocytic myocarditis; AVR = aortic valve replacement; CPAP = continuous positive airway pressure; CRT = cardiac resynchronization therapy; CSD = cardiac support device; LVAD = left ventricular assist device; MVR = mitral valve repair/replacement; RAAS = renin-angiotensin-aldosterone ...
Repeat sternotomy for aortic valve replacement was complicated by intra-operative bleeding and hypotension requiring rapid transfusion and resuscitation, but the post-op recovery was otherwise smooth. Daily comparison of the patient’s WBC-PLT position and direction yields a high initial risk that ...

Introduction Conduction disturbances requiring permanent pacemaker (PM) implantation occur in 3–12% of patients after aortic valve replacement (AVR). Our aim was to assess long-term PM dependency and its predictors in these patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of all consecutive patie...
Traditionally, the mainstay treatment for improving patient outcomes has been open-heart aortic valve replacement surgery, a procedure characterized by its highly invasiveness, requiring cardiopulmonary bypass and cardiac arrest. This approach, particularly challenging for elderly patients or those with ...
