RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: This systematic review was performed to evaluate the results of transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) in the native mitral valve. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central register were systematically searched for studies that reported results of TMVI in mitral valve regurgitation and/or stenosis and mitral annular calcification. To improve the sensitivity of the literature search, we performed citation chasing in Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Twelve studies reporting results of TMVI in mitral regurgitation were retrieved and included 347 patients. The transseptal approach represented 28% of cases. Secondary mitral regurgitation was the predominant indication in 63% of cases. Thirty-day mortality was 11% and was lowered with the transseptal approach (7%). Technical success was 92%. Surgical conversion was needed in 5% of patients. Only one patient presented moderate to severe mitral regurgitation. These hemodynamic results were sustainable up to one year of follow-up. Three series focused on results of TMVI in mitral annulus calcification including 167 patients. Only nine patients were treated with TMVI dedicated prosthesis. Eighty-seven patients had their prosthesis delivered through a transseptal approach. Mitral stenosis was present in 63% of cases. Thirty-day mortality was 24%, and none with TMVI prosthesis. Technical success was achieved in 71% of cases and was improved by using TMVI prosthesis (89%). The main complication was left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (20%). Post procedural moderate to severe mitral regurgitation was observed in 4% of cases. CONCLUSION: TMVI seems to be feasible, achieving good technical success and predictable and durable MR reduction.

RESUMO

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Surgical mitral valve repair is considered superior to replacement to treat primary mitral regurgitation. However, the heterogeneity of cohorts and the lack of consideration of confounding in the published literature raise potential biases. The aim of this study was to pool all available matched data comparing outcomes of mitral valve repair and replacement in the setting of primary mitral regurgitation. RECENT FINDINGS: We searched Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify propensity-matched studies or reports with multivariable adjustment comparing repair and replacement in patients with primary mitral regurgitation. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. DerSimonian and Laird random effects were used to perform the meta-analysis. Eight observational studies were selected including 4599 patients (3064 mitral repairs and 1535 replacements). Mean age ranged from 62 to 69 years, and the mean follow-up duration ranged between 3 and 9 years. Replacement was associated with an increased risk of long-term all-cause mortality compared to repair (HR of 1.68, 95% confidence interval 1.35-2.09, p < 0.001, τ2 = 0.03). Surgical era and atrial fibrillation impacted the risk of mortality but not mitral anatomy. Neither repair nor replacement impacted significantly on the risk of re-operation after mitral surgery (HR 1.18, 95% CI 0.85-1.63, p = 0.33, τ2 < 0.01). Mitral valve replacement is possibly associated with higher long-term mortality than mitral valve repair in primary mitral regurgitation but often used as a bailout option in more complex anatomy. Despite this observation, both techniques have similar risk of re-operation.

RESUMO

In the 16 years since the first pioneering procedure, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has come of age and become a routine strategy for aortic valve replacement, increasingly performed under conscious sedation via transfemoral access. Simplification of the procedure, accumulation of clinical experience, and improvements in valve design and delivery systems have led to a dramatic reduction in complication rates. These advances have allowed transition to lower risk populations, and outcome data from the PARTNER 2A and SURTAVI trials have established a clear evidence base for use in intermediate risk patients. Ongoing studies with an expanding portfolio of devices seem destined to expand indications for TAVI towards lower risk, younger and asymptomatic populations. In this article, we outline recent advances, new devices and current guidelines informing the use of TAVI, and describe remaining uncertainties that need to be addressed.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although, Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass (OPCAB) surgery is being increasingly explored and practised in many cardiac units worldwide, there have been only few reports documenting the training of surgeons in this new technique. The purpose of this study was to address the reproducibility of the OPCAB in a unit where this technique is used extensively. METHODS: Registry data, notes and charts of 64 patients who were operated on by four trainee cardiac surgeons over a period of thirteen months at Harefield Hospital, were reviewed retrospectively. These trainees were part of an accredited training programme for cardiothoracic training and were trained by a single consultant trainer in a cardiac unit after it has had an established recent experience in performing non-selective OPCAB for all coming-in patients. Five (7.8%) patients (with 17 distal anastomoses) consented and underwent early postoperative angiography to check the quality of the grafts and anastomoses. RESULTS: The mean age of the study patients was 65.6 and the mean Parsonnet score was 9.4. There was a mean of 2.9 grafts per patient and circumflex territory anastomoses were performed in 48 (75%) patients. No operation required conversion to Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB). Angiography of the five patients revealed satisfactory seventeen (100%) distal anastomoses. CONCLUSION: With appropriate training, it is possible for trainees to learn OPCAB and perform multi-vessel revascularization in relatively high-risk patients with good results.

RESUMO

During a 3-year period, three patients developed arterial complications related to congenital or post-traumatic old pseudarthrosis of the clavicle. Arterial complications of pseudarthrosis of the clavicle presenting as a thoracic outlet syndrome are very rare. Symptoms are variable and occur late. Without treatment, the prognosis is poor with spontaneous development of gangrene. Arterial morphology investigations should be undertaken in patients with pseudarthrosis of the clavicle or isolated arterial symptoms involving the upper limb whose radial pulse disappears during postural tests. Duplex Doppler of the subclavian artery is an excellent screening exam but selective arteriography is the gold standard. It shows proximal arterial lesions (embolytic stenosis of the subclavian artery with post-stenotic dilatation), as well as distal embolic complications. Both static and postural tests must be performed to unmask subclavian restriction by the clavicle, proving its causal effect in the arterial complications. There are four clinical varieties: chronic thrombosis of the subclavian artery, distal arterial micro emboli, acute thrombosis of proximal arteries of the upper limb, and subclavian aneurysm. These lesions are thought to be due to chronic constriction and repeated arterial microtrauma. Congenital or post-traumatic pseudarthrosis, hypertrophic callus, arterial restriction by a screw in a clavicular plate, usually explain the arterial lesions. Bone tumors and Paget's disease are potential but exceptional clavicular etiologies. Surgical treatment is always necessary. Clavicular resection is usually needed in case of pseudarthrosis; there is no functional handicap. Plate fixation and autologous grafting, or open reduction and internal fixation are other valid surgical treatments; The embolytic lesions must be treated to prevent recurrence of distal embolization: graft resection and thromboendarteriectomy have been described. Neurological and venous decompression may be associated at the same time. Complementary treatment can be associated: distal bypass, cervicothoracic sympathectomy, in situ thrombolysis or thrombectomy. Endovascular treatment is not indicated. Optimal treatment of clavicular fractures is required to prevent the development of thoracic outlet syndrome.

RESUMO

Operative management of patients presenting renal cell carcinoma's (RCC) with right atrial tumor thrombus extension is a technical challenge. It requires the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this study was to report our early experience and to describe a simplified CPB technique. 5 consecutive patients underwent surgical resection by a joint cardiovascular and urological team. The ascending aorta was canulated. The venous drainage was achieved using a proximal canula inserted in the superior vena cava and a distal canula inserted in the IVC below the renal veins. Right atrium thrombus extension was extracted under normothermic CPB without cross clamping or cardioplegic arrest. A cavotomy was performed at the ostium of the renal vein and an endoluminal occlusion catheter was introduced. The thrombectomy and the radical nephrectomy were then performed. The occurrence of gaseous or tumor embolism, operative time, perioperative bleeding, and post-operative complications were assessed. Mean patients age was 62.9 years. Atrial and caval thrombectomy were achieved successfully in all patients. Mean operative time was 206 min. Mean CPB time was 62 min. Mean hospital stay was 18.8 days. One death occurred, due to respiratory failure. An asymptomatic early thrombosis of the IVC was diagnosed by CT scan in 1 patient. The four remaining patients were alive 6 months after the surgical procedure. Minimally invasive CPB technique can be used to treat intra atrial thrombus tumor extension arising from renal cell carcinoma. It can be performed safely with acceptable complications rate.

RESUMO

This study was undertaken to develop a rodent (rat) model of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) that has been designed to mimic functionally the minimally invasive clinical setting. The circuit is similar to the clinical model in terms of its construction, configuration, material surface area to blood volume ratio, and priming volume to blood ratio. The overall priming volume was 10 mL. Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats (422 +/- 32 g) were anaesthetized while maintaining spontaneous ventilation. Anticoagulation was achieved with heparin (500 IU/kg). Blood arterial pressure was monitored continuously. Normal central temperature was maintained throughout. Intermittent arterial blood gas levels also were monitored. All animals were cannulated in preparation for CPB; however, CPB, utilizing a double roller pump and a flow rate of 100 mL/kg/minute for 60 min, was initiated in only 18 animals, the remaining 18 animals acting as non-CPB controls (Sham). The animals were haemodynamically stable. After the operative procedure, the animals were allowed to recover from the anaesthesia and, after transfer to a recovery facility, were monitored for a period of 1 week. There were no differences between the groups in terms of blood gas analysis and blood pressure data; all animals survived the procedure and had an uneventful follow-up. Differences were found between the CPB animals and the Sham group in terms of TNFalpha used as a marker of inflammatory processes. This trend tends to support this model as an analogue for the clinical scenario for future studies of CPB-related inflammation. Overall, the CPB procedure was easy to perform and was associated with excellent survival. This recovery model is an effective tool to perform pathophysiological studies associated with minimally invasive CPB.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the determinants of poor mid-term health related quality of life (HRQoL) at one year after primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: 463 patients who underwent primary isolated CABG for multivessel disease and came for their annual follow up at the outpatient clinic during one year at Harefield Hospital, Middlesex, were approached to participate in the present study. Prospective clinical data were collected as part of the clinical care of the patients and were retrospectively analysed when the patients consented to participate in the study at their outpatient visit. After their consent they were given three HRQoL assessment questionnaires. Scores, together with clinical data, were analysed by both univariate and multivariate analyses with regard to poor HRQoL outcome. RESULTS: 437 (94.4%) patients consented to participate in the study and filled in the HRQoL questionnaires. Ten variables were identified in the univariate analysis as potential predictors of poor scores of the physical element of HRQoL; however, only three variables-gastrointestinal problems, congestive heart failure, and type D personality trait-predicted poor physical scores independently. Eleven variables were identified in the univariate analysis as potential predictors of poor scores of the mental element of HRQoL; however, only three variables-peripheral vascular disease, infective complications, and type D personality trait-predicted poor physical scores independently. CONCLUSION: Preoperative gastrointestinal problems, preoperative congestive heart failure, and type D personality trait were independent predictors of the poor physical component of HRQoL. Peripheral vascular disease, infective complications, and type D personality trait were independent predictors of the poor mental component of HRQoL. Interestingly, patients with type D personality were more than twice as likely to have poor physical HRQoL and more than five times as likely to have poor mental HRQoL.
