The possible association of off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with reduced risk of postoperative stroke and enhanced benefits in high-risk patients support the hypothesis that patients with a positive history of cerebrovascular disease would benefit from off-pump coronary surgery. This study aims to investigate the impact of off-pump...

Moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation is present in 20-35% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the current literature lacks simple echocardiographic parameters, which can predict post-TAVR changes in mitral regurgitation. The aim of this study is to investigate the echocardiographic predictors of...

Traditional and transcatheter surgical treatments of severe aortic valve stenosis (SAVS) are increasing in parallel with the improved life expectancy. Recent randomised controlled trials (RCTs) reported comparable or non-inferior mortality with transcatheter treatments compared with traditional surgery. However, RCTs have the limitation of...
