Aug 10th, 2022 - Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In the United States cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in people older than 65 years. In the current era, a complete recovery after an acute my...

Jul 27th, 2022 - Acute MR due to mechanical mitral valve (MV) complications frequently results in cardiogenic shock and requires emergency surgical intervention. There was limited evidence for alternative treatment like MitraClip for patients at prohibitive surgic...

Jul 6th, 2022 - BACKGROUND In cardiac amyloidosis (CA), misfolded proteins deposit in the extracellular space of cardiac tissue. These deposits classically cause restrictive cardiomyopathy with diastolic dysfunction. Although there are at least 30 proteins known ...

Jun 22nd, 2022 - An asymptomatic 63-year-old male with chronic type B aortic dissection underwent repair of an expanding 6.1 cm extent I thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. His postoperative course was complicated by respiratory failure from severe acute mitral regu...

Mar 20th, 2022 - A 44-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with sudden chest tightness and breathlessness, and a chest X-ray revealed unilateral pulmonary oedema (UPO). Colour Doppler echocardiography showed that the leaflet prolapsed with severe r...

Mar 16th, 2022 - Acute MR may develop in the setting of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) as a result of papillary muscle dysfunction or rupture, and these patients are grossly underrepresented in MitraClip registries. Our group has recently published the Spani...

Sep 14th, 2020 - Increased extravascular lung water (EVLW) may increase mortality and morbidity in cardiopulmonary pathology. Many factors can cause increased extravascular lung water and pulmonary edema after cardiac surgery. This includes left ventricular failur...

Aug 13th, 2019 - Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery is an alternative to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). It avoids adverse effects of CPB such as systemic inflammatory response, impaired myocardial protection, ...

Jun 4th, 2013 - Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of an early discharge strategy in patients with low risk ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), compared...

Oct 19th, 2020 - Percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip appears to be a safe, effective, and life-saving new treatment for severe acute mitral regurgitation (MR) secondary to MI in surgical noncandidates, even when accompanied by cardiogenic shock, ac.
