Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation accompanying mitral stenosis: the concept for a trial. [PDF]

, 2015
Patients at thromboembolic risk with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) can now be managed either with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or with a fixed dose of a non-VKA oral anticoagulant (NOAC), while patients with valvular AF have been restricted to ...

A Streamline Strategy for Indication and Length of Telemetry Monitoring After TAVR

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Both indication and length of ECG telemetry monitoring (TM) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are not well defined. Aims We hypothesize that a targeted strategy for monitoring conductive disorders (CD) post‐TAVR can reduce the need and duration of in‐hospital TM without compromising safety. Methods We prospectively

'Edge-to-edge' mitral valve repair: the ace of hearts [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2006
A 32-year-old man underwent a successful surgical correction of a severe mitral regurgitation. The surgical procedure consisted of an ‘edge-to-edge’ repair of the valve, connecting the mid-portion of the anterior and posterior leaflets, associated with implantation of a mitral annuloplasty ring (Sovering O 38 mm; …

Conversion to Cardiac Surgery During Elective and Urgent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become an established treatment for severe aortic stenosis. However, the need for unplanned conversion to cardiac surgery (CS) during TAVI remains an infrequent but critical event. It is unclear whether this risk is higher in patients undergoing urgent procedures.

Transplante de valva mitral heteróloga: Nova alternativa cirúrgica: estudo clínico inicial Heterologous mitral valve transplant: New surgical technique: initial clinical trial

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 1993
A substituição da valva mitral tem sido realizada, nestes 30 anos, usando-se o modelo aórtico. Embora o resultado clínico, na maioria dos pacientes seja satisfatório, existem, restrições específicas, tanto entre as biopróteses, como nas próteses ...

A Rare Culprit of Infective Endocarditis in an IV Drug User: Burkholderia cepacia

Case Reports in Medicine, 2019
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection of the cardiac native or prosthetic valves typically caused by Staphylococcus aureus, viridans streptococci group, and coagulase-negative staphylococci. Risk factors include congenital heart disease, structural

Novel Wire‐Assisted Mitral Commissurotomy Reduces Valve Crossing Time Compared to Inoue‐Balloon Technique of Treating Mitral Stenosis, Randomized Controlled Trial (CROSSVal)

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy (PMC) of mitral stenosis is routinely performed by the Inoue balloon technique (IBT) which may be challenging with respect to valvular crossing. Using a novel wire‐assisted method (WAM) may improve feasibility and time efficiency. Aims In a randomized clinical trial, we compared the feasibility and
