Background: The long-term comparative results between porcine and pericardial bioprostheses for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is debated. Scarce information exists concerning direct comparative evaluation among contemporary devices. We compared late and very late results in a single center series (N=3,983 cases).

Methods And Results: All ambulatory patients (n = 700, median age 55 years and 70% men) registered on the French national HT waiting list between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2019 were included.
Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a significant health issue in mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), with a notable impact on survival rates among affected patients.
- Risk factors identified for PAH in MCTD include pericarditis, polyarthritis, thrombocytopenia, interstitial lung disease, and anti-Sm antibodies.
- Additionally, tobacco exposure has been linked to higher mortality rates in MCTD patients diagnosed with PAH.
Background: After heart transplantation, calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) (cyclosporin A and tacrolimus) are key immunosuppressive drugs to prevent graft rejection. Whole-blood concentration (C blood )-guided therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is systematically performed to improve graft outcomes. However, some patients will still experience graft rejection and/or adverse events despite CNI C blood within the therapeutic range.
