We assessed the effects of aortic valve pathology type on the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent concomitant aortic valve replacement (AVR) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. We retrospectively reviewed 150 patients who underwent AVR-CABG at our institution between January 1997 and December 2006. We divided patients into aortic stenosis (AS), aortic regurgitation (AR), and mixed-type groups consisting of 98 (65.3%), 20 (13.3%) and 32 (21.3%) patients, respectively. The AS group had more female patients, a higher mean angina class, older mean patient age, increased history of previous myocardial infarction (MI), and smaller valve size compared to other groups. No significant differences were observed among groups in the operative mortality for five or ten-year survival rates. Significant early mortality risk factors included cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass (CBP) time, number of blood transfusion units, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), inotropic drugs, and pacemaker use. Significant late mortality risk factors included intensive care unit (ICU) stay, IABP, stroke, and dialysis. The aortic valve pathology type in patients undergoing concomitant AVR-CABG does not adversely affect survival.

Computed tomography (CT)-derived Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) is linked to cardiovascular disease outcomes. However, its role in patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and the interplay with aortic stenosis (AS) cardiac damage (CD) remains unexplored. We aim to investigate the relationship between EAT characteristics, AS CD, and all-cause mortality.

Background: Untreated severe heart valve disease (HVD) is associated with premature mortality. Research shows low population awareness of when to seek assessment and low focus on cardiac auscultation by physicians in primary care settings. We studied contemporary public knowledge of HVD and assessment by their general practitioner (GP) in Australia.

The New Niche: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Explantation and the Key Issues Concerning the Heart Team.

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB. Electronic address:

The volume of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for treatment of isolated aortic stenosis has far surpassed surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). There has been a consequent increase in TAVI explantation, now the fastest growing cardiac surgical procedure. Transcatheter heart valve explantation can be technically complex, with higher perioperative morbidity and mortality than routine SAVR or valve-in-valve TAVI.

Objective: We present our experience with endovascular Bentall procedure (Endo-Bentall) using a modular valve conduit (Endo-Bentall) in high-risk patients with aortic root pathologies.

Methods: The physician constructed Endo-Bentall device is composed of a self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR), aortic endovascular stent graft (TEVAR), and two wire-reinforced fenestrations for coronary artery stenting. The TAVR valve is sutured into an appropriately sized TEVAR graft.

Objective: Over 30% of patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) are considered high - risk or inoperable. This study aims to investigate the early and mid-term outcomes of complex endovascular aortic repair of aortic root, ascending aorta, and aortic arch among patients with ATAAD.

Methods: From January 2018 to January 2023, 29 patients who were considered high risk for open operation underwent endovascular aortic repair.
