Factors associated with acute kidney injury after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs as a complication of cardiac surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Its prevalence and severity are determined by various preoperative and intraoperative factors. The aim of this study was to examine the risk factors for AKI following on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Immediate results of transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Objective: Aim: To assess, analyze and present early postoperative results of transcatheter aortic valve implantation in patients with aortic stenosis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: During the period from 2017 to 2023, we examined in total 77 patients with severe aortic stenosis and high risk of surgery who were eligible for the TAVI procedure at the "Heart Institute Ministry of Health of Ukraine".

Results: Results: Before implantation, the mean and maximum aortic valve gradients were 53.

Natural biomaterials in the management of the aortic valve pathology. Biomedical and clinical aspects: A review.

Heart valve diseases are a prevalent cardiovascular pathology worldwide, affecting nearly 2.5% of the population. Degenerative aortic stenosis is the most common form of heart valve disease.

Complete Aortic Valve Reconstruction with Autologous Pericardium: Analysis of Mid-Term Results of Single-Center Experience with AVNeo Procedure.

Purpose: Aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) is a relatively recent advancement in surgical AV replacement. Data on its performance beyond the short term are limited. We assessed the mid-term outcomes in patients undergoing AVNeo, focusing on feasibility, perioperative details, and its role in AV pathology treatment.

A clinical case of Takayasu disease: emphasis on cardiac manifestations.

Takayasu arteriitis (TA) is a rare systemic vasculitis, affecting large vessels, cardiac valves and myocardium. Cardiac involvement is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in such patients. This publication presents a clinical case of a patient with severe aortic regurgitation combined with restrictive cardiomyopathy.
