Aim: To analyze long-term surgical results in patients with aortic valve disease and concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR) depending on volume of valve surgery.
Material And Methods: It was studied 5-year results in 71 patients with aortic valve disease and different degree of mitral regurgitation. Patients were divided into 3 groups. Control group included 40 patients after aortic valve replacement (AVR) and no mitral insufficiency. The 2nd group consisted of 16 patients after AVR and concomitant mitral regurgitation degree 2-3. The 3rd group - 15 patients after aortic and mitral valve replacement. Mortality in long-term postoperative period, quality of life, incidence of complications and echocardiography data were analyzed.
Results: There was no significant improvement of mitral regurgitation after AVR. It was showed that persistent MR decreases remote survival and quality of life as well as deteriorates echocardiography data. Herewith these data in the 3rd group did not differ from the control group.
Conclusion: Double-valve replacement may be advisable in patients with aortic valve disease and concomitant moderate MR because persistent MR deteriorates long-term
Results: However prolonged time of cardiopulmonary bypass, aortic cross-clamping, greater blood loss require comprehensive approach to advanced cardiac surgery.

Introduction: Blunt traumatic aortic injury (TAI) is a critical condition and a leading cause of mortality in trauma patients, often resulting from high-speed accidents. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has developed into the preferred therapeutic approach due to its minimally invasive nature and promising outcomes. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of TEVAR for managing TAI over a 10-year period at a Level-1 trauma center.

Restenosis occurs commonly after aortic coarctation (CoA) repair, usually requiring treatment by balloon dilation. Its effect on physical exercise performance is not documented. A retrospective analysis of exercise testing and echocardiographic assessment was performed in children after CoA repair.

During routine open heart surgery, suboptimal flow in the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit, led to the discovery of a type B aortic dissection with substantial flow in the false lumen. Conservative management was chosen, focusing on blood pressure control in the ICU.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between apolipoproteins (ApoA1, ApoB, and the ApoB/A1 ratio) and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and impaired kidney function, assessing their potential role in secondary prevention.
Method: A prospective cohort of 1,640 patients with impaired kidney function who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention in China was analyzed. Patients were categorized based on the measurements of ApoA1, ApoB, and ApoB/A1 ratio.
