Mashup Score: 1Arterial Grafts in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Who, When, and Why - 10 month(s) ago
When selecting conduits for coronary artery bypass, long-term patency, survival benefit, and patient factors such as coronary atherosclerotic burden and comorbid conditions are the primary influences on surgical decision-making (Fig. 1). Previous studies have shown that multiple arterial conduits offer a survival benefit,1 but the observational design of this work makes the findings subject to…

Mashup Score: 1The Past, Present, and Future of Complex Aortic Intervention - 10 month(s) ago
Albert Einstein once said, “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”So much of what is done with complex aortic surgical interventions is a direct outgrowth of what has been done, what is being done, and what is intended to be accomplished.The first successful aortic aneurysm repair was performed by Dr Charles Dubost in 1951; he replaced an…

Mashup Score: 0Leveraging Innovation to Mitigate Risk During Heart Surgery - 10 month(s) ago
Innovation is not necessarily about the “next big thing” according to Mehta.1 Instead, innovation can occur by combining existing technologies, developing small ideas that compound, or evolving to address problems that have arisen from previous innovations that yielded unpredictable consequences. Innovation in the field of cardiovascular surgery is no different. As the field becomes progressively…

Mashup Score: 0
Mitral and tricuspid valvular disease have been managed surgically; however, multiple transcatheter technologies have diversified the therapeutic arsenal and expanded the number of patients eligible for treatment. These new technologies and active trials currently being performed at The Texas Heart Institute will be highlighted.Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) with MitraClip (Abbott…

Mashup Score: 2P2Y12 Inhibitors for Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis - 10 month(s) ago
AbstractBackground. For patients with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), prasugrel was recommended over ticagrelor in a recent randomized controlled trial, although more data are needed on the rationale. Here, the effects of P2Y12 inhibitors on ischemic and bleeding events in patients with NSTE-ACS were investigated.Methods. Clinical trials that enrolled patients with…

Mashup Score: 1Atrioventricular Nodal Ablation Is Not an Effective Treatment Strategy in Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia - 10 month(s) ago
Abstract. Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a rare but lethal heritable arrhythmia syndrome associated with both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Treatment includes antiarrhythmics, sympathetic denervation, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. The use of atrioventricular nodal ablation as a treatment strategy to prevent ventricular arrhythmias in…

Mashup Score: 0Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Diagnosed on Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography in a Patient With Trisomy 13 Syndrome - 10 month(s) ago
Abstract. Trisomy 13 is a rare chromosomal disorder in which all or a percentage (mosaicism) of cells contain an extra 13th chromosome. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are rare, with an incidence of 0.1% to 3.5% of all congenital heart defects. This article reports the case of a patient with trisomy 13 with a new systolic murmur found to have a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm diagnosed on…

Mashup Score: 0Does the Type of Chronic Heart Failure Impact In-Hospital Outcomes for Aortic Valve Replacement Procedures? - 10 month(s) ago
AbstractBackground. This study assessed in-hospital outcomes of patients with chronic systolic, diastolic, or mixed heart failure (HF) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).Methods. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was used to identify patients with aortic stenosis and chronic HF who underwent TAVR or SAVR between 2012 and…

Mashup Score: 0Successful Reuse of a Donor Heart - 10 month(s) ago
Abstract. At a time when transplantable organs are in a shortage, few cases have noted the reuse of donor hearts in a second recipient in an effort to expand the donor network. Here, we present a case in which an O Rh-positive donor heart was first transplanted into a B Rh-positive recipient and later successfully retransplanted into a second O Rh-positive recipient 10 days after the initial…

Mashup Score: 0The Role of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients With Bicuspid Valves in 2023 - 10 month(s) ago
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect, occurring in 1% to 2% of the general population.1 Compared with individuals having normal tricuspid aortic valves, those with BAVs are more likely to develop calcification on valve leaflets and raphe and dilation of the ascending aorta (aortopathy)—and at a much earlier age. For highly select patients with severe BAV…
