Comparison of cardiovascular risk profiles of patients with type A aortic dissection and thoracic aortic aneurysm: a retrospective multicentre study Open
Objective A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is often considered a precursor to an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), a life-threatening condition requiring immediate surgical intervention. While both conditions share histopathological …

Personalized external aortic root support: The Dutch experience Open
The PEARS procedure can be performed with acceptable operative risk and no dissections were observed during follow-up. PEARS has been adapted as a valid alternative treatment strategy in our centers. Complications related to coronary arter…

Sex Differences in the Histopathology of Acute Type A Aortic Dissections Open
Background Although sex-related differences in cardiovascular surgery outcomes have increasingly garnered attention in the past decades, knowledge about sex disparities in the pathophysiology of acute type A aortic dissections (ATAADs) rem…

The Prevalence of Coronary Artery Disease in Bicuspid Aortic Valve Patients: An Overview of the Literature Open
The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) patients is a debatable topic. Several studies have indicated that BAV patients have a lower prevalence of CAD compared with patients with a tricuspid aortic va…

Thoracic aortopathy in Marfan syndrome overlaps with mechanisms seen in bicuspid aortic valve disease Open
Background Thoracic aortopathy is a serious complication which is more often seen in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) than in individuals with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The identific…

Risk for acquired coronary artery disease in genetic vs. congenital thoracic aortopathy Open
Objective Patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have a significantly increased risk to develop thoracic aortopathy. Both conditions share many pathophysiological mechanisms leading to aortic co…

Are acute type A aortic dissections atherosclerotic? Open
Background Type A aortic dissections (TAAD) are devastating aortic complications. Patients with Marfan syndrome, a bicuspid aortic valve or a thoracic aortic aneurysm have an increased risk to develop a TAAD. These predisposing conditions …

Are Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Patients at Increased Risk for Cardiovascular Diseases? Open
Objectives: Abdominal aortic aneurysms are associated with a sharply increased cardiovascular risk. Cardiovascular risk management is therefore recommended in prevailing guidelines for abdominal aneurysm patients. It has been hypothesized …

Comparative evaluation of coronary disease burden: bicuspid valve disease is not atheroprotective Open
Objective Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) has been associated with less atherosclerosis as compared with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients. It, however, remains unclear whether this reflects the older age of TAV patients and/or accumulatio…
View article: Extent of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Stenotic Bicuspid Versus Tricuspid Aortic Valves
Extent of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Stenotic Bicuspid Versus Tricuspid Aortic Valves Open
Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, which is often complicated by aortic valve stenosis (AoS). In tricuspid aortic valve (TAV), AoS strongly associates with coronary artery disease (CA…

A modified surgical technique for aortopexy in tracheobronchomalacia Open
OBJECTIVES Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) is characterized by collapse of trachea, bronchi or both, leading to dyspnoea, expiratory stridor, coughing or recurrent airway infections. Surgical treatment with aortopexy is warranted for severe TB…

Outcomes of cardiac surgery after mediastinal radiation therapy: A single‐center experience Open
This study shows that cardiac surgery after mediastinal radiotherapy is associated with increased short- and long-term mortality when compared to preoperative mortality risks predicted by the Euroscore II. Surgery-related events caused all…

Complications While Waiting for IBD Surgery—Short Report Open
Background and Aims While striving to meet the quality standards for oncological care, hospitals frequently prioritize oncological procedures, resulting in longer waiting times to surgery for benign diseases like inflammatory bowel disease…
