Purpose: Aortic valve neocuspidization (AVNeo) is a relatively recent advancement in surgical AV replacement. Data on its performance beyond the short term are limited. We assessed the mid-term outcomes in patients undergoing AVNeo, focusing on feasibility, perioperative details, and its role in AV pathology treatment.

Background: Aortic arch aneurysm is a very rare condition in children. Surgery is the life saving procedure but it performing might be challenging due to the complex anatomy.

Case Presentation: We describe a 13-year-old girl who was diagnosed to have an isolated giant aortic arch aneurysm.

Aims: Synchronized diaphragmatic stimulation (SDS) modulates intrathoracic and intra-abdominal pressures with favourable effects on cardiac function for patients with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and heart failure (HFrEF). VisONE-HF is a first-in-patient, observational study assessing the feasibility and 1 year effects of a novel, minimally invasive SDS device.

Methods And Results: The SDS system comprises a pulse generator and two laparoscopically delivered, bipolar, active-fixation leads on the inferior diaphragmatic surface.

Article Synopsis
  • * The prevalence of AS increases significantly with age, from 0.2% in those aged 50-59 to nearly 10% in those aged 80-89.
  • * The case of a 78-year-old man with severe AS illustrates how ultrasonic aortic valve decalcification can effectively lower pressure gradients across the valve, serving as a valuable alternative for patients with small aortic annuli when traditional surgery is not feasible.
