Introduction: Minimally invasive and hybrid procedures for patients with aortic valve pathology and coronary artery disease are innovative solutions.
Aim: To report the results of hybrid aortic valve replacement through right anterior minithoracotomy (RT-AVR)/percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR)/coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery for patients with aortic valve and coronary artery disease.
Material And Methods: Analysis of prospectively gathered data of 187 patients - 86 hybrid and 101 conventional procedures.
Background: The aim of the study was to assess some parameters of right ventricle (RV) function as predictors of short-term mortality in patients with severe secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) after mitral valve surgery.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 112 consecutive patients with severe SMR who had undergone mitral valve repair or replacement with or without concomitant coronary artery bypass surgery. We assessed RV to pulmonary artery coupling by calculating the ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to non-invasively estimated RV systolic pressure (RVSP).
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and performance of a novel, beating heart procedure that enables echocardiographic-guided beating heart implantation of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) artificial cords on the posterior mitral leaflet of patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation.
Methods: Two prospective multicentre studies enrolled 13 (first-in-human) and 52 subjects, respectively. Patients were treated with the HARPOON beating heart mitral valve repair system.
Background: Stress echocardiography (SE) is becoming an increasingly frequently performed diagnostic examination in Poland. After the published retrospective PolSTRESS Registry, this prospective study is the first one available so far.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze SE tests, taking into account the clinical characteristics of the patients, indications, applied protocols, and diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most frequent indication for valve surgery. There are few studies addressing mitral valve (MV) surgery in the context of etiology of MR.
Aims: We aimed to compare postoperative outcomes in the context of the etiological mechanism of MR in patients after MV surgery.
Background: Conventional mitral valve (MV) operations allow direct anatomic assessment and repair on an arrested heart, but require cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross-clamping, sternotomy or thoracotomy, and cardioplegic cardiac arrest, and are associated with significant perioperative disability, and risks of morbidity and mortality.
Objectives: This study evaluated safety and performance of a transesophageal echocardiographic-guided device designed to implant artificial expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) cords on mitral leaflets in the beating heart.
Methods: In a prospective multicenter study, 30 consecutive patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) were treated with a mitral valve repair system (MVRS) via small left thoracotomy.
Background: Stress echocardiography (SE) is widely used in Europe. No collective data have been available on the use of SE in Poland until now.
Aim: To evaluate the number of SE investigations performed in Poland, their settings, complications, and results.
