Microaxial pump‐supported coronary surgery without CPB to optimize outcome in severely impaired left ventricles

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is the standard approach for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in advanced ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Microaxial pump support has been envisioned to allow for beating‐heart CABG without CPB (MPCAB), thereby avoiding CPB‐inherent complications.

Meta‐analysis of fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair versus open surgical repair of juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms over the last 10 years

BJS Open, 2019
Juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms pose a significant challenge whether managed endovascularly or by open surgery. Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is now well established, but few studies have compared it with open surgical repair ...

Comorbidity trajectories before and after the diagnosis of heart failure: A UK Biobank cohort study

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Time of diagnosis of comorbidities in relation to heart failure. COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; MI, myocardial infarction. Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) is frequently associated with multiple comorbidities. We aimed to define their trajectory of accrual to identify opportunities for disease prevention. Methods and results We identified

Disruption of Osteoprotegerin has complex effects on medial destruction and adventitial fibrosis during mouse abdominal aortic aneurysm formation.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Aortic aneurysm refers to dilatation of the aorta due to loss of elasticity and degenerative weakening of its wall. A preventive role for osteoprotegerin (Opg) in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm has been reported in the CaCl2-induced ...

Smad4 Deficiency in Smooth Muscle Cells Initiates the Formation of Aortic Aneurysm.

Circulation Research, 2016
RATIONALE Aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening cardiovascular disorder caused by the predisposition for dissection and rupture. Genetic studies have proved the involvement of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway in aortic aneurysm.

Impact of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists on the risk of sudden cardiac death across cardio‐kidney‐metabolic diseases: A meta‐analysis of randomized clinical trials

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a prevalent cause of mortality among patients with cardio‐kidney‐metabolic (CKM) diseases. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) reduce the risk of SCD in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, but it is unclear if similar effects are expected across different CKM risk populations irrespective of

Thresholds for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair in England and the United States.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
BACKGROUND Thresholds for repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms vary considerably among countries. METHODS We examined differences between England and the United States in the frequency of aneurysm repair, the mean aneurysm diameter at the time of the ...
