BACKGROUND: Postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) refractory to inotropic support and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) occurs rarely but is almost universally fatal without mechanical circulatory support. In this systematic review and meta-analysis we looked at the evidence behind the use of veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) in refractory PCCS from a patient survival rate and determinants of outcome viewpoint. METHODS: A systematic review was performed in January 2017 using PubMed (with no defined time period) using the keywords "postcardiotomy", "cardiogenic shock", "extracorporeal membrane oxygenation" and "cardiac surgery"...

BACKGROUND: As transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) becomes more straightforward, a larger proportion of patients will be well enough to be discharged early. This study sought to characterise the clinical features that allowed patients to be discharged early after TAVI and to evaluate the safety of an early discharge policy. METHODS: All patients undergoing TAVI at the above cited centre from August 2007 to March 2015 were included in this study. Baseline characteristics, in-hospital outcomes, re-admissions and mortality were compared...

PURPOSE: A previous study reported that low baseline cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) (≤50%) measured with near-infrared spectroscopy was predictive of poor clinical outcomes after cardiac surgery. However, such findings have not been reconfirmed by others. We conducted the current study to evaluate whether the previous findings would be reproducible, and to explore mechanisms underlying the ScO2-based outcome prediction. METHODS: We retrospectively investigated 573 consecutive patients, aged 20 to 91 (mean ± standard deviation, 67...

Background: Mitral valve regurgitation (MR), present in up to 74% of the patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), can be a negative prognostic factor when moderate or severe. The outcome of MR after percutaneous transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and predictors associated with that outcome have not been well established in the literature. Objective: To assess the outcome of primary MR in patients submitted to TAVI and to identify associated factors...

OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard for complex revascularisation in multivessel disease. The concept of the minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation circuit (MiECC) was introduced to minimise pathophysiological side effects of conventional extracorporeal circulation. This study presents early and long-term outcomes after CABG with use of MiECC in a single-centre consecutive patient cohort. METHODS: From 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2010, 2130 patients underwent isolated CABG with MiECC at our centre...

BACKGROUND: Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is the treatment of choice in severe symptomatic aortic valve disease. New techniques and prostheses have been recently developed to facilitate the procedure and reduce aortic cross-clamp time (AOx). The aim of this study was to analyse the different procedural steps in order to identify the most time-consuming part during aortic clamping time and to compare impact of experience on procedural aspects. METHODS: AOx during SAVR was divided into five consecutive steps...

OBJECTIVES: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been implemented into the care of elderly patients suffering from severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. However, data on long-term follow-up are sparse and predictors of long-term mortality need to be evaluated to better select patients. Therefore, we aimed to analyse predictors of 5-year mortality after TAVI. METHODS: We analysed data from the German Transcatheter Aortic Valve Interventions-Registry. Each of the 27 participating hospitals agreed to include all consecutive TAVI patients at their institution...

BACKGROUND: We investigated the application and feasibility of a novel software tool designed for the visualization of the aortic root during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The final positioning of the device prior deployment remains the most critical phase during TAVI. METHODS: Philips "Vascular Outlining" prototype application was used during balloon expandable Edwards Lifesciences SapienXT valve deployment. It processes any angiographic sequences, extracting the static outline of vessels and projecting the two- dimensional vessel margins as a roadmap on live fluoroscopy...

INTRODUCTION: Aortic stenosis is one of the most common valvular heart diseases in the ageing population. Patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis are at high risk of sudden death. Surgical aortic-valve replacement is the gold standard of treatment but many patients do not receive surgery because of advanced age or co-morbidities. Recently, transcatheter aortic valve implantation has been developed as an option for these patients. This study aimed to assess efficacy and safety of this procedure in the Hong Kong Chinese population...
