Prognostic value of left atrioventricular coupling index in heart failure.
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
January 2025
Heart Institute, Department of Cardiology. Germans Trias i Pujol University Hospital, Barcelona,Spain.
Aims: To investigate the distribution of left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) among patients with heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<50% and to explore its association with the combined endpoint of all-cause death or HF hospitalization at long term follow-up.
Methods And Results: Patients with HF and LVEF<50% undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were evaluated. Patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter were excluded.
Substance Use and Outcomes of Left-Sided Valve Replacement in Patients With Infective Endocarditis.
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
December 2024
Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas.
Background: Rising rates of substance use (SU) have resulted in an increasing need for left-sided valve surgery for SU-associated infective endocarditis (SU-IE). We compared outcomes, readmissions, and costs between IE patients with and without SU-IE in a national cohort.
Methods: Using the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2016-2018), we identified 10,098 patients with infective endocarditis (IE) who underwent isolated aortic or mitral valve replacement.
Pacemaker Implantation After Tricuspid Valve Surgery at a High-Volume Regional Reference Center.
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.
The Melody Valve in Small Children Undergoing First Mitral Valve Replacement: Better Than Mechanical?
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Children's Medical Center, Dallas, Texas.
Background: In small children with left atrioventricular valve dysfunction, valve repair is preferred but some will require valve replacement. No prosthetic valve has growth potential, bioprostheses have poor durability, and mechanical prostheses have high rates of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. We reviewed our experience with a modified bovine jugular vein valve designed for use in the right ventricular outflow tract (Melody valve, Medtronic) and compared this with contemporary mechanical valve replacement.

Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University-St Louis Medical School, St Louis, Missouri.
Background: Tricuspid valve surgical procedures (TVS) concomitant with mitral valve (MV) surgical procedures for less than severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) remains controversial. This study examined the long-term outcomes of patients with moderate or mild to moderate TR undergoing MV surgical procedures with or without TVS.
Methods: Patients with moderate or mild to moderate TR undergoing MV replacement or repair between January 2002 and June 2021 were included.
