Surgical explantation of an infected Lotus Edge valve: a case report.
Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg Cases
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Osaka, 564-8565, Japan.
Background: With the rapid expansion of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), TAVR valve explantation is also increasing. Nevertheless, previous reports on Lotus Edge valve explantation are limited to only two reports, none of which include intraoperative videos. Therefore, we report the case of an older adult who underwent a 2-year-old Lotus Edge valve explantation, after developing prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and aortic annular abscess, with a strong indication for a TAVR explantation and surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR).

It also sought to identify predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in the long-term period.
Materials And Methods: We conducted an analysis of 92 patients who underwent multivalvular heart defect correction and simultaneous Cox-Maze IV procedure between 2017 and 2023.
Objective: To evaluate the immediate outcomes and safety of simultaneous Maze procedure in patients with isolated and multivalvular heart disease via right-sided mini-thoracotomy.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of postoperative outcomes included 21 patients with various valvular heart diseases and atrial septal defects with atrial fibrillation. All patients underwent heart valve surgery with cryoablation (left atrial, right atrial or biatrial «Maze» approach) via right-sided mini-thoracotomy.
Left atrial rupture during on-pump beating coronary artery bypass grafting.
Surg Case Rep
November 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Kumamoto University Hospital, Kumamoto, Japan.
Background: On-pump beating coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a procedure that uses cardiopulmonary bypass to maintain circulation and it is a useful technique for CABG in patients with severely impaired cardiac function. Here, we report a case of left atrial rupture that occurred during CABG. Reports of left atrial injury are rare, and there have been no previous reports of such cases associated with on-pump beating CABG.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between psoriasis and degenerative valvular heart disease (VHD), finding that both share common risk factors and inflammatory conditions.
- Utilizing data from the UK Biobank, researchers analyzed the incidence of various types of VHD among participants with and without psoriasis over a median follow-up period of around 13.7 years.
- Results showed that participants with psoriasis had a higher risk of developing aortic stenosis (AS), particularly among women, whereas no significant links were found for other forms of degenerative VHD.
