We present a case of successful heart transplantation using a donor heart with bicuspid aortic valve complicated by moderate aortic insufficiency by replacing the aortic root with the recipient autograft during back-bench preparation.

Total autologous reconstruction of the right and left ventricular outflow tracts: the case for the modified Ross-Ozaki procedure.

The Ross procedure continues to be the best procedure to address unrepairable aortic valve pathology, especially in young adults. The Achilles heel of this procedure has been aortic root dilation and the potential need for a reoperation that may be associated with slightly increased risks in addition to the need for intervention on the pulmonary outflow tract. Modifying the Ross procedure by autograft inclusion inside a Dacron graft seems to have the potential advantage of stabilizing the autograft diameter, which may be associated with improved durability and decrease the need for future intervention.

Non-A non-B aortic dissection remains a complex and controversial topic in cardiovascular management, eliciting varied approaches among cardiologists and surgeons. Due to the limited evidence surrounding this condition, existing guidelines are limited in the complexity of their recommendations. While most patients are initially managed medically, invasive treatment becomes necessary in a large proportion of patients.

Background: This study describes in detail the clinical burden of malperfusion associated with acute Type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) in a large, national cohort and the effect of treatment strategy on outcomes.
Methods: All patients undergoing repair of ATAAD between 2017 and 2020 in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database were studied. Malperfusion was defined using STS definitions based on imaging or surgeon's evaluation.
Sex-Specific Anatomic Differences in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Insights from the ST-TAVI Registry.
Hellenic J Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, University Hospital of Split, 21000 Split, Croatia. Electronic address:
Background: Anatomic considerations of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have an important role for the procedure planning, but sex-specific data are lacking.
Methods: All eligible cases undergoing evaluation for TAVI procedure in the period from November 2019 to July 2023 at the University Hospital of Split were included. Cardiac computed tomography was analysed to derive the measures of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), aortic root, ascending aorta, and ilio-femoral arteries.
