Comparison of Figulla Flex® and Amplatzer™ devices for atrial septal defect closure: A meta-analysis Open
Percutaneous closure of ASD is a safe and effective, irrespective of the type of device. No differences exist regarding procedural success between the ASO and FSO devices but the last was associated to shorter procedure time, less radiatio…

Quantitative flow ratio in myocardial infarction for the evaluation of non-infarct-related arteries. The QIMERA pilot study Open
Introduction and objectives: Complete revascularization is recommended for the management of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI). Although physiological evaluation is recommended for the assessment of nonculprit lesions, in…

Impact of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors on clinical outcomes and ventricular remodelling after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: rationale and design of the RASTAVI randomised multicentre study Open
Introduction Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) as a treatment in severe aortic stenosis (AS) is an excellent alternative to conventional surgical replacement. However, long-term outcomes are not benign. Renin-angiotensin syste…

The effect of intracoronary infusion of bone marrow‐derived mononuclear cells on all‐cause mortality in acute myocardial infarction: rationale and design of the <span>BAMI</span> trial Open
Over the past 13 years bone marrow‐derived mononuclear cells ( BM‐MNCs ) have been widely investigated for clinical efficacy in patients following acute myocardial infarction ( AMI ). These early phase II trials have used various surrogate…

Anatomical and clinical predictors of valve dysfunction and aortic dilation in bicuspid aortic valve disease Open
Objective Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with early valvular dysfunction and proximal aorta dilation with high heterogeneity. This study aimed to assess the determinants of these complications. Methods Eight hundred and fifty-tw…

P5176Aortic dilation heterogeneity in bicuspid aortic valve patients Open
Purposes: To report the prevalence of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms and ectasies based upon a uniform size cut-off point at 40 mm.To develop a prediction formula that provides an individual reference value for the normal ascending ao…

Efficacy of atorvastatin in prevention of atrial fibrillation after heart valve surgery in the PROFACE trial (PROphylaxis of postoperative atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac surgEry) Open
Background To evaluate the efficacy of perioperative atorvastatin administration for prophylaxis of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after heart valve surgery. Methods Our study included 90 patients with heart valve disease who wer…

Distal Vessel Quality Score as a Predictor of Graft Patency after Aorto-Coronary Bypass Graft: Towards the Optimization of the Revascularization Strategy Open
Aims: We aimed to develop a new simple angiographic score that would predict short- and mid-term patency problems of coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG). Methods: We enrolled 249 patients who underwent CABG. The Distal Vessel Quality (DVQ…
