AI Article Synopsis
- The technique focuses on replacing the aortic valve in specific patients who have already had heart surgery and have both active bypass grafts and blocked native coronary arteries.
- It aims to provide excellent protection for the heart muscle during the surgery, reducing the need for extensive heart dissection.
- The method minimizes the risk of damaging existing grafts, especially the internal mammary artery, which is commonly used in bypass procedures.
Article Abstract
We present a technique for replacement of the aortic valve in selected patients undergoing redo surgery in the presence of patent coronary artery bypass grafts and occluded native coronary arteries that affords optimal myocardial protection, limited dissection of the heart and minimal risk of injury to existing grafts, in particular, the internal mammary artery.

Clinical value of aortic arch morphology in transfemoral TAVR: artificial intelligence evaluation.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Background: The impact of aortic arch (AA) morphology on the management of the procedural details and the clinical outcomes of the transfemoral artery (TF)-transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has not been evaluated. The goal of this study was to evaluate the AA morphology of patients who had TF-TAVR using an artificial intelligence algorithm and then to evaluate its predictive value for clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1480 consecutive patients undergoing TF-TAVR using a new-generation transcatheter heart valve at 12 institutes were included in this retrospective study.
Anatomical Predictors of Access-Related Vascular Complications Following Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, Istanbul Mehmet Akif Ersoy Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Access-related vascular complications (VCs) after percutaneous transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are associated with poor clinical outcomes and remain a significant challenge despite technological advances. The aim of this study was to identify anatomic predictors of access-related VCs after TAVR on preprocedural contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).

Epicardial fat tissue, a hidden enemy against the early recovery of left ventricular systolic function after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc
February 2025
Department of Cardiology, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands.
Background: Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) is an active organ that can affect cardiac function and structure through endocrine, paracrine, and proinflammatory mechanisms. We hypothesized that greater thickness of EFT may harm the recovery of left ventricular (LV) systolic function in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and reduced LV ejection fraction (EF ≤ 50 %) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Methods: A sixty six patients with severe AS and 20 % ≥ LVEF ≤ 50 % who underwent TAVI were included.

Prognostic Value of the Tricuspid Regurgitation Impact on Outcomes (TRIO) Score in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital Ganzhou Hospital, Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences, 341000 Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China.
Background: Prognosis assessments for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients remain challenging, particularly as the indications for TAVI expand to lower-risk patients. This study assessed the prognostic value of the tricuspid regurgitation impact on outcomes (TRIO) score in patients after TAVI.
Methods: This single-center study included 530 consecutive patients who underwent TAVI.
