Article Synopsis
- This text describes a groundbreaking case where a unique combination of surgical and percutaneous techniques was used to treat a patient with multiple cardiac issues.
- The procedure involved several complex interventions, including removing a transvenous lead, repairing the tricuspid valve, and placing both a leadless pacemaker and an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
- These interventions were prompted by serious health challenges faced by the patient, such as active endocarditis, congenital complete AV block, and the need to prevent harmful ventricular arrhythmias.
Background: Structural valve deterioration (SVD) remains the major determinant of bioprosthesis durability. The aim of this study was to investigate the SVD incidence, predictors and outcomes in patients aged 50 years and younger after bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement (bAVR).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 73 consecutive patients ≤50 years old who underwent bioprosthetic AVR at our center between 2005 and 2015.
A patient with history of dilated cardiomyopathy, a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator, and endocardial ablation presented for refractory ventricular tachycardia 3 years after implantation of a Jarvik 2000 left ventricular assist device (Jarvik Heart, Inc., New York, New York). Open-chest epicardial ablation safely and effectively terminated the arrhythmia, without ventricular tachycardia recurrence at 9-month follow-up and in the absence of complications during the hospital stay.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the predictive capabilities of AVSc on long-term all-cause mortality, in patients requiring carotid endarterectomy (CEA). 806 consecutive CEA patients were enrolled.

Objectives: The best treatment for rheumatic mitral regurgitation is still under debate. Our goal was to assess the long-term results of mitral repair for rheumatic mitral regurgitation performed in 2 referral centres for mitral repair.
Methods: Patients who underwent mitral valve repair between 1999 and 2009 were selected.
