Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Department of Cardiac Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Background: The rate of permanent pacemaker implantation after tricuspid valve (TV) operation is thought to be high, with some studies quoting rates of 20% to 30%. We identified the rate of pacemaker implantation after TV operation at a high-volume regional reference center to better characterize the contemporary risk of pacemaker.
Methods: All adult patients without preexisting pacemakers undergoing TV operation from 2011 to 2022 were included.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
HCA Healthcare Research Institute, HCA Healthcare, Nashville, Tennessee.
Background: Current treatment guidelines for infective endocarditis focus on left-sided infective endocarditis. Because right-sided infective endocarditis has different presentations and outcomes, it is crucial to further delineate surgical outcomes for isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis (TVE).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 374 surgically treated patients with isolated TVE from January 2012 through April 2022 who underwent isolated tricuspid valve surgical procedures.
J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino)
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France.
Background: In the last years, the Cor-Knot device has been increasingly used in heart valve surgery. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of valvular complications in patients who underwent valvular surgery using the Cor-Knot device in multicentric cohorts at one-year follow-up.
Methods: Three hundred and sixty-eight patient underwent heart valve repair or replacement surgery using automated titanium suture fasteners in four cardiothoracic surgery departments between September 2018 and January 2020.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Introduction: Patients who need tricuspid valve replacement (TVR) surgery often have permanent transvalvular pacemaker (PM) leads, which pose an important challenge in lead management.
Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of paravalvular positioning of a permanent pacemaker lead during TVR surgery.
Material And Methods: Between 2014 and 2024, a total of 15 patients who had previously had a transvenous pacemaker system underwent TVR.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC.
Objective: The superior transseptal approach to mitral valve surgery offers improved exposure compared with left atriotomy; however, concerns remain regarding postoperative arrhythmias and pacemaker placement. This study investigates intraoperative parameters and postoperative outcomes in these approaches.
Methods: Retrospective review of 259 adults undergoing isolated mitral valve repair or replacement over a 10-year period was performed.
