Characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients with multiple native valvular heart disease: a substudy of the EURObservational Research Programme Valvular Heart Disease II Survey.

Aims: To assess the characteristics, management, and survival of patients with multiple native valvular heart disease (VHD).

Methods And Results: Among the 5087 patients with ≥1 severe left-sided native VHD included in the EURObservational VHD II Survey (maximum 3-month recruitment period per centre between January and August 2017 with a 6-month follow-up), 3571 had a single left-sided VHD (Group A, 70.2%), 363 had one severe left-sided VHD with moderate VHD of the other ipsilateral valve (Group B, 7.

[Changing strategies in aortic root reconstruction in Marfan syndrome].

Unlabelled: Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A Marfan-szindróma autoszomális domináns módon öröklődő, szisztémás kötőszöveti betegség. A hosszú távú túlélés szempontjából fontos a nagyérkatasztrófák megelőzése.

Uncommon presentation of a rare tumour - incidental finding in an asymptomatic patient: case report and comprehensive review of the literature on intrapericardial solitary fibrous tumours.

Background: A solitary fibrous tumour is a rare, mainly benign spindle cell mesenchymal tumour most commonly originating from the pleura. An intrapericardial location of a solitary fibrous tumour is extremely unusual. We present a case of an asymptomatic patient with a slow-growing massive benign cardiac solitary fibrous tumour.

The effects of acute and elective cardiac surgery on the anxiety traits of patients with Marfan syndrome.

Background: Marfan syndrome is a genetic disease, presenting with dysfunction of connective tissues leading to lesions in the cardiovascular and skeletal muscle system. Within these symptoms, the most typical is weakness of the connective tissue in the aorta, manifesting as aortic dilatation (aneurysm). This could, in turn, become annuloaortic ectasia, or life-threatening dissection.

Aortic root reconstruction in a nine-year-old child: a case report.

Aortic root dilatation is present by the age of five years in approximately 35% of patients suffering from Marfan syndrome. However, children rarely undergo surgery for aortic aneurysm and aortic regurgitation during their first decade of life. A nine-year-old boy, who presented with severe aortic regurgitation associated with a 76.

[To the margin of the one hundredth Hungarian heart transplantation: an analyzing review].

On the 28th of September, 2006 was performed the one hundredth heart transplantation (HTX) at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Semmelweis University in Budapest, just 15 years after the beginning of the Hungarian HTX project. This fact provides the occasion for this analyzing review. The relatively high (15.

[Modified Jatene operation for the repair of left ventricle aneurysm].

Introduction: 134 left ventricle aneurysm operations were performed at our institute between 1993 and 2000. The original Jatene operation was modified by our workgroup: running sutures and abandoning Teflon pledges for faster operation; an additional linear closure of the remnant aneurysm above the patch to eliminate bleeding complications.

Object: The aim of this study was to describe our surgical technique, its advantages against other surgical methods in left ventricle aneurysms.

Permanent left atrial and left ventricular single-lead DDD pacing with a coronary sinus electrode.

This report describes a patient with drug refractory severe chronic congestive heart failure, first-degree AV block, and wide QRS complexes of 175-ms duration with left bundle branch block who was successfully treated by a left-sided dual chamber pacemaker system using a single-lead coronary sinus electrode. Left atrial and ventricular signal amplitudes, left atrial and ventricular pacing thresholds were 2.5 mV, 13 mV, 1.
