Background Octogenarians undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) after prior cardiac surgery are expected to be at high risk of adverse events. This finding has recently popularized transcatheter AVR in this cohort. Methods This multicenter study includes 744 patients (99 were 80 years or older) who underwent surgical AVR after prior...

OBJECTIVES: Although commonly reported as single-centre experiences, redo aortic valve replacement (RAVR) has overall acceptable results. Nevertheless, trans-catheter aortic valve replacement has recently questioned the efficacy of RAVR. METHODS: Early-to-mid-term results and determinants of mortality in 711 cases of RAVR from seven European...

Background This multicenter study was undertaken to determine the immediate and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing a primary surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) who had a previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery with patent grafts. Methods One hundred and thirteen consecutive patients (mean EuroSCORE II, 10.3-±-7.7%, median...

BACKGROUND: patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) undergoing cardiac surgery (CS) face perioperative high mortality and morbidity, but extensive studies on this topic are lacking.METHODS: All adult patients with LC undergoing a CS procedure between 2000-2017 at ten Italian Institutions were included in this retrospective cohort study. LC was...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the results of aortic valve replacement through sternotomic approach in redo scenarios (RAVR) vs transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), in patients in the eighth decade of life or older already undergone previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS One hundred and twenty-six patients...

The study aim was to compare the outcome of transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TaTAVR) and traditional aortic valve replacement (AVR) in redo from two real-world registries.

To assess early and late mortality in patients with isolated acute tricuspid valve infective endocarditis (TVIE) using data from a multicenter registry.

We described clinical-epidemiological features of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and assessed the determinants of early surgical outcomes in multicentre design.
