BACKGROUND: Supra aortic obstruction in children is uncommon and is seen in certain unique conditions. While intraluminal obstruction due to heavy calcification is seen in older populations, it is not described in pediatric populations. The coral reef aorta is a rare and distinct calcifying disease causing luminal obstruction of the suprarenal aorta in adults. The definition of this diagnosis relies entirely on the unique aspects and consistency of the lesions, which are rock-hard, irregular, gritty plaques with a white luminal surface resembling a coral reef...

OBJECTIVES: This nationwide retrospective cohort study assessed the impact of the explanted valve type on reoperative outcomes in aortic valve surgery within the UK (UK) over a 23-year period. METHODS: Data were sourced from the National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (NICOR) database. All patients undergoing first-time isolated reoperative aortic valve replacement (AVR) between 1996 and 2019 in the UK were included. Concomitant procedures, homograft implantation, or aortic root enlargement were excluded...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Cryo-preserved (CP) products are utilized during challenging cases when autogenous or prosthetic conduit use is not feasible. Despite decades of experience with cadaveric greater saphenous vein (GSV), there is limited available data regarding the outcomes and patency of other cryopreserved products, specifically, arterial and deep venous grafts. This study was designed to evaluate outcomes of non-GSV CP conduits in patients undergoing urgent, emergent, and elective arterial reconstruction at our institution...

OBJECTIVE: To describe long-term outcomes of the Ross procedure in a single center and retrospective series after 25 years follow-up. METHODS: From 1997-2019 we included all consecutive patients who underwent Ross procedure at our center. Clinical and echocardiographic evaluations were performed at least yearly. Echocardiographic valvular impairment was defined as at least moderate autograft or homograft dysfunction. Reintervention outcomes included surgical and percutaneous approach...

The definitive management of an aortic root abscess is an operation associated with high morbidity and mortality. These operations are convoluted, time-consuming, and involve conceptionally intricate reconstructions. Following debridement of periannular abscesses, several challenges may persist, with one common issue being the destruction of the aortomitral curtain. Considering the daunting nature of this situation, the authors describe a step-by-step bovine pericardial patch reconstruction of the aortomitral curtain that endeavours to provide a simplified explanation for its use by a broader audience...

Heterografted molecular bottlebrushes (MBBs) with side chains composed of poly( n -butyl acrylate) (P n BA) and pH-responsive poly(2-( N , N -diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEMA, p K a = 7.4) have been shown to be efficient, robust, and responsive emulsifiers. However, it remains unknown how they respond to external stimuli at interfaces. In this work, the shape-changing behavior of six hetero- and homografted MBBs at air-water interfaces in response to pH changes and lateral compression was investigated using a Langmuir-Blodgett trough and atomic force microscopy...

BACKGROUND: Patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) often develop pulmonary regurgitation (PR) and right ventricle (RV) dysfunction, experiencing increased mortality and morbidity rates in adulthood. Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) timing to address PR is controversial. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for morpho-functional evaluation of complex cardiopathies. This study aims to identify CMR parameters predictive of adverse outcomes to help defining the best therapeutic management of rTOF patients...

The field of surgical aortic repair has advanced significantly over time, transitioning from aneurysm ligation to homografts, then to Dacron grafts, and now endovascular procedures. With new endovascular technologies emerging, they are likely to dominate the field of aortic surgery, but surgeons must exercise caution and not abandon their open-surgery skills. Open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery continues to be a durable operation. As the field continues to evolve, further research is needed to advance this complex surgical endeavor...

The need for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction is common and growing in congenital heart surgery given expanding indications for the repair of congenital as well as acquired heart disease. Various valved conduit options currently exist including homografts, xenograft pulmonary valved conduits (Contegra™), and porcine valved conduits. The major limitation for all conduits is implant durability, which requires reoperation. Currently, cryopreserved homografts are often used given their superiority shown in long-term data...

BACKGROUND: Data on long-term outcomes of the Ross operation in children and young adult patients are limited. The best pulmonary valve substitute for the right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in the Ross operation in young patients using various pulmonary valve substitutes at a single institution. In addition, a comparison of reintervention rates between patients younger than 18 years and those older than 18 years was performed...

BACKGROUND: Bovine jugular valved conduit (BJVC) has been reported as an optional material for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction in patients with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). It showed comparable or even better performance than homograft. However, the durability of BJVC is still very poor in infants and children. Herein, we retrospectively analyzed and evaluated the mid-term results of RVOT reconstruction by using bovine jugular vein valved conduits (Balance BJVCs) in CHD patients, with a special focus on the functional status of the conduits...
