Acute kidney injury is a common complication in patients receiving extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The underlying mechanisms are multifactorial including …

Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains the leading cause of early mortality post-heart
transplantation. Despite improvements in mechanical circulatory support and critical care …

Objective Sutureless aortic valves are a novel option for aortic valve replacement. We
sought to demonstrate noninferiority of sutureless versus standard bioprostheses in severe …

OBJECTIVES: A new class of rapid-deployment aortic valves has emerged with the potential
to simplify minimally invasive aortic surgery and reduce crossclamp and cardiopulmonary …

Abstract Background The TRANSFORM (Multicenter Experience With Rapid Deployment
Edwards INTUITY Valve System for Aortic Valve Replacement) trial (NCT01700439) …

Background Sutureless aortic valve replacement (SU-AVR) has emerged as an innovative
alternative for treatment of aortic stenosis. By avoiding the placement of sutures, this …

Background Heart transplantation (HTx) remains the most effective long-term treatment for
advanced heart failure. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) continues to be a potentially life …

Objectives: We evaluated the impact of aortic cross-clam** time (XCT) and
cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPBT) on the immediate and late outcome after adult cardiac …

Background Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular disease and has a dismal
prognosis without surgical treatment. The aim of this meta‐analysis was to quantitatively …

Patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM) occurs when an implanted prosthetic valve is too small
for the patient; severe PPM is defined as an indexed effective orifice area (iEOA)< 0.65 cm …
