Percutaneous insertion of the pulmonary valve
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2002 We report our experience of percutaneous valve insertion in pulmonary position in humans.Over the past 40 years, prosthetic conduits have been developed to surgically establish continuity between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. However, stenosis and insufficiency of the conduit due to valvular degeneration or panus ingrowth frequently ...

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 879-887, April 2025.Abstract Background Unexplained exertional dyspnoea without significant elevation of natriuretic peptides is common. One of the causes might be early heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Aims This study aimed to characterize patients with exertional dyspnoea and normal/near‐to‐normal N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT ...

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1183-1193, April 2025.Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...

Early inspiris resilia valve failure in a patient with idiopathic pulmonary valve regurgitation
Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryBackground Pulmonary valve failure requiring replacement (PVR) is more commonly seen in children and young adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Adults with CHD and pulmonary regurgitation have traditionally undergone PVR with bioprosthetic valves.
