Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Andrea Buono"
Andrea Buono's recent research primarily focuses on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and its complications, including paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) and coronary obstruction, particularly in patients with specific aortic valve anatomies like bicuspid aortic valves.
Buono's findings suggest that the modified designs of transcatheter heart valves, such as the ACURATE neo2, may improve short-term outcomes by reducing rates of moderate/severe PVR compared to their predecessors.
Additionally, his research emphasizes the role of myocardial bridges in coronary pathology and the mechanical forces contributing to coronary artery intimal thickening, suggesting a protective aspect of myocardial bridges in the context of atherosclerosis.
