Cardiac surgeons increasingly exclude the left atrial appendage during operations in patients who have never had atrial fibrillation, often because the appendage is accessible and presumed expendable. This Europace Viewpoint...
A narrative review offering an intensivists’ viewpoint on specific cardiovascular sequela of double-lumen anaesthesia for pulmonary resections (and by extension, implantation of donor lungs) and other cardiothoracic and vascular operations.
...An extremely interesting research question abutting cardiac physiology, and a manuscript that may generate future additional clinical research.
...Excellent and brief summary of the debate on functional mitral regurgitation on mechanical support.
...A robust RCT that denies association of nuclear CT-defined myocardial viability and long-term benefit from surgical coronary revascularisation. It is worth following the discussion this manuscript is certain to generate..
...The translational value for cardiac transplantation of this prospective multi-centre clinical study of vasodilation in amyloidosis remains to be evaluated.
...IntroductionA 56-year-old man status post repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm after type B aortic dissection presented with acute type A dissection. The patient had a long history of...
Using period hypercapnea as a surrogate “contrast” agent, myocardial oxygenation was assessed using cardiac MR and accurately mapped areas of relative ischemia.
...An interesting metanalysis, especially: The ad hoc results of off-pump surgery. The mean number of silent brain infarcts per patient was significantly higher in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation group...
