Surgical valve replacement in adults late after total cavo-pulmonary connection/Fontan procedure Open
OBJECTIVES There is dearth of data on long-term outcomes of systemic semilunar (SS) or atrioventricular (AV) valve operation in adult patients with a Fontan circulation. We describe a single-centre experience of adults who underwent valve …

Cardiac and Vascular Surgeons for the Treatment of Aortic Disease: A Successful Partnership for Decision-Making and Management of Complex Cases Open
Traditionally, cardiac and vascular surgeons have been treating diseases of the aorta as individual specialists. Neither cardiac nor vascular surgeons have ever considered the aorta as a whole, which can be diseased throughout its length a…
Metastasectomy of left atrial mesenchymal chondrosarcoma Open
Metastasis of chondrosarcoma of skeletal origin to the heart is uncommonly reported in the literature, with the majority of cases involving right atrial metastases. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of treatment, and the literature h…

Surgical Repair of Mitral-Aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa Pseudoaneurysm in a High-Risk Patient 13 Years after Aortic Root Replacement Open
Pseudoaneurysms of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa are rare complications that can develop after mitral or aortic valve surgery, endocarditis, or Takayasu arteritis. The optimal timing of surgery to avoid potentially life-threateni…

Sutureless Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) for Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis: A Single Centre Experience Open
Objective: Prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis carries significant morbidity and mortality. The use of sutureless valves in this setting is regarded as a contra-indication and this series describes our experience and short term outcomes i…

Porcine Aortic Root Replacement in Acute Aortic Dissection Open
Objective: Aortic root replacement (ARR) may be necessary during repair of Type A Acute Aortic Dissection (AAD). We compared the early & midterm outcomes of patients undergoing Porcine ARR with those undergoing mechanical Bentall procedure…

Assessment of Stroke Volume Index of Sutureless, Transcatheter and Stented Pericardial Valves in the Early Postoperative Period - a Propensity Matched Analysis Open
Objective: Persistent or new onset low flow (LF), described as a stroke volume index (SVi) less than 35ml/m2/beat, is a predictor of poor outcomes after aortic valve intervention (AVI) in patients (pts) with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and…
