Use of a Melody Pulmonary Valve in Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Replacement for Tricuspid Valve Bioprosthesis Degeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Bioprosthetic heart valves can degenerate and fail over time. Repeat surgery as a means of replacement increases morbidity and mortality rates, and some patients are not candidates for reoperation.

Circulating Musclin is associated with skeletal muscle function and subclinical cardiac dysfunction in patients with cancer

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Musclin (osteocrin) is a skeletal muscle‐derived peptide that has been implicated in cardioprotective signalling pathways. Its relevance in cancer patients, who frequently experience muscle wasting and cardiotoxicity, remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether circulating Musclin levels reflect functional capacity and

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve-in-Valve Replacement with an Edwards Sapien 3 Valve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A few case reports and case series have documented the outcomes in patients with tricuspid bioprosthetic valvular degeneration who underwent transcatheter implantation of the Medtronic Melody and the Edwards Sapien XT and Sapien 3 valves. In this report,

Comparing clinical manifestations, treatment strategies and outcomes of Staphylococcus lugdunensis bacteraemia versus Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia – a retrospective cohort study

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase‐negative Staphylococcus that has been increasingly recognised as a significant pathogen capable of causing invasive infections similar to Staphylococcus aureus. Data comparing the clinical manifestations and outcomes of S. lugdunensis bacteraemia to S. aureus bacteraemia remain limited. This

Electrophysiologic Assessment of the Successful Left Bundle Branch Pacing Using the Standardized Criteria

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
The left bundle branch anatomy graphic was created using AI‐assisted medical illustration. ABSTRACT Introduction Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) is an emerging physiological pacing method that preserves ventricular synchrony. Achieving true LBB capture remains challenging, and the reported success rates vary considerably due to nonuniform ...

Refining Residual Ischemic Stroke Risk in Anticoagulated Atrial Fibrillation Using Index Outpatient LA Diameter: The CHA2DS2‐VALa Score

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
In anticoagulated atrial fibrillation, residual ischemic stroke risk persists despite guideline‐directed therapy. In this single‐center cohort, an enlarged index outpatient left atrial diameter independently predicted stroke and improved risk stratification when added to CHA2DS2‐VA (CHA2DS2‐VALa), supporting a simple, clinically implementable ...

Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve-in-Valve Replacement by Transatrial Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Reoperation on the tricuspid valve after prior heart valve surgery is associated with an increased operative risk due to a poor clinical status with severe heart failure and late presentation.

Safety and Performance of INVICTA DF4 Ventricular Defibrillation Lead: Results From APOLLO Prospective Multicenter Study

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) therapy relies on reliable right ventricular leads for pacing, sensing, and defibrillation. The INVICTA DF4 lead is an active‐fixation, quadripolar design intended to optimize implant workflow and long‐term safety and performance. Methods APOLLO was a prospective, multicenter, single‐arm,

Outcomes of isolated tricuspid replacement versus repair among older patients with tricuspid regurgitation in the United StatesCentral MessagePerspective

open access: yesJTCVS Open
Objective: Evidence is limited regarding early-term outcomes after isolated tricuspid operations for tricuspid regurgitation (TR). We compared the early-term outcomes after isolated tricuspid valve replacement versus repair using the contemporary data ...

Successful Ablation of Cavotricuspid Isthmus-dependent Atrial Flutter Guided by Contact Force Vector in a Patient After a Tricuspid Valve Replacement

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
A 46-year-old man after a tricuspid valve replacement due to traumatic severe tricuspid regurgitation developed cavotricuspid isthmus-dependent counterclockwise atrial flutter.
