The relationship between incomplete surgical obliteration of the left atrial appendage and thromboembolic events after mitral valve surgery (from the ISOLATE Registry)
(Springer, 2021)
Left atrial appendage (LAA) is a common site of thrombus formation especially in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Complete surgical LAA closure (cSLC) is the surgical aim, however incomplete surgical LAA closure ...
Clinical safety and efficacy of thrombolytic therapy with low-dose prolonged infusion of tissue type plasminogen activator in patients with intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020)
The patients with intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism who have acute right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and myocardial injury without overt hemodynamic compromise may be candidates for thrombolytic therapy. Alternative ...
The value of brain natriuretic peptide in the prosthetic valve thrombosis
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020)
We aimed to investigate how prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) affects brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and how BNP changes following thrombolytic therapy. The study included 70 consecutive patients with left-sided ...
A comprehensive review of the diagnosis and management of mitral paravalvular leakage
(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2020)
Mitral paravalvular leaks (PVLs) commonly occur in patients with prosthetic valves. Paravalvular defects may be clinically inconsequential and may aggravate hemolysis or cause heart failure through regurgitation. Accordingly, ...
Substantial Value of Cardiac Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Patients with Suspected Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction
(Karger, 2020)
Dear Editor, We recently read with great interest the article by Hsu et al. [1] entitled ‘‘Cine-Computed Tomography for the Evaluation of Prosthetic Heart Valve Function”. We appreciate the contribution made by these authors ...
Management of acute coronary syndromes in patients with prosthetic heart valves
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)
Dear Editor, We have recently read with great interest the article reported by Donmez et al which was published in the last issue of Cardiology in the Young1 . We would like to contribute to the case report by drawing ...
Echocardiography Aided by Computed Tomography to Diagnose Obstructive Masses in Patients with Prosthetic Heart Valves
(Texas Heart Inst, 2020)
To the Editor: We appreciate Kealhofer and colleagues’ report on their beneficial use of cardiac computed tomography (CT) for evaluating prosthetic aortic valve dysfunction.1 We want to contribute further by drawing attention ...
A well validated risk stratification index predicts weak material and fetal outcomes in pregnant women with cardiovascular disease
(Elsevier, 2021)
We have recently read with great interest the article by Khanna et al entitled ‘‘Maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant females with rheumatic heart disease’‘. 1 We appreciate the authors for their study describing the ...
Twenty-seven-year durability of St. Jude Medical Biocor bovine bioprosthesis in mitral position
(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2020)
A 67-year-old female patient had undergone mitral valve replacement 27 years earlier with a 29-mm St. Jude Medical Biocor bovine bioprosthesis valve (St. Jude Medical Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) due to mitral stenosis.
Improvement of endothelial function early after thrombolytic therapy in patients with prosthetic heart valve thrombosis
(2020)
Objective: Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a serious complication among patients with prosthetic heart valves. Thrombolytic therapy (TT) is now widely used as first-line treatment for PVT. Endothelial dysfunction has ...
