Objectives: Report contemporary outcomes in patients included in the Mitragister registry and treated with transcatheter mitral valve implantation for failed surgical annuloplasty rings or deteriorated bioprosthesis.
Background: Midterm survival rates have been reported, but little is known about contemporary morbimortality endpoints.
Methods: The primary safety outcome was the technical success rate.
Article Synopsis
- Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is recommended for low-risk patients, while the Heart Team should decide between transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and surgery for others, with a preference for TAVI in older patients.
- A multicenter study surveyed 1,049 patients aged 75 and older to understand the role of age and surgical risk in treatment decisions for severe aortic stenosis, finding that TAVI was preferred in 71% of cases.
- The study revealed that as age increases, particularly after 80, the influence of surgical risk scores on treatment decisions decreases significantly, leading most patients to be referred for TAVI even if they have low surgical risk; however, 10%
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is standard therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high surgical risk. However, national data regarding procedural characteristics and clinical outcomes over time are limited.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess nationwide performance trends and clinical outcomes of TAVR during a 6-year period.
Background: Current data are lacking for incidence, correlates, and prognosis associated with incident myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Furthermore, the contribution of very late stent thrombosis (VLST) to these events remains poorly understood.
Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the residual risk of MI, together with relevant associated factors, and related mortality in stable CAD outpatients.
Background: The prevalence and correlates of dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) use in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) are unknown. In addition, whether prolonged DAPT may impact prognosis in stable CAD has not been studied in real-life conditions.
Methods: We studied 3,691 patients included in a prospective registry on stable CAD.
Mechanical thrombectomy in patients with deep venous thrombosis.
Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol
June 2001
Purpose: To report our experience with mechanical thrombectomy in proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Methods: Eighteen patients with a mean (+/- SD) age of 37.6 +/- 16.
Surgery for acute ischaemia complicating dissection of the descending aorta is associated with high mortality. We used an endovascular fenestration approach (scissor technique) to treat seven of 12 patients with ischaemic complications of descending aortic dissection; the remaining five patients were treated by stent implantation. Four of the 12 patients died (two in the fenestration group and two in the stenting group) in the days after the procedure.

Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss
December 1999
The authors report the case of a pheochromocytoma in a 67 year old man in whom the initial clinical presentation suggested myocardial infarction. Pheochromocytoma is usually an adrenal tumour with a very variable clinical symptomatology. It is very rare for cardiac disease to be a presenting symptom.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Floating right heart thrombi (FRHTS) are a rare phenomenon, encountered almost exclusively in patients with suspected or proven pulmonary embolism and diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography. Their management remains controversial.
Methods And Results: We report on a series of 38 consecutive patients encountered over the past 12 years.
Background: Late reocclusion of an infarct-related artery (IRA) that was patent in the early days after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a frequent event; the reocclusion rate may be as high as 30%. Few studies have been designed to analyze the impact of late reocclusion of the IRA on late survival.
Methods And Results: We studied 528 patients who all had a patent IRA after a successful PTCA procedure 10+/-6 days after MI and who underwent systematic 6-month angiographic follow-up to assess late patency of the IRA.
