- BI-SILICA During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Noncalcific Aortic Insufficiency: Initial Human Experience. [Letter]
- JCJACC Cardiovasc Interv 2018 Nov 12; 11(21):2237-2239
- Acute aortic dissections with entry tear in the arch: A report from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection. [Journal Article]
- JTJ Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2018 Sep 21
- CONCLUSIONS: Acute aortic dissection patients with primary entry tear in the arch are currently managed by a patient-specific approach. In choosing the management type of these patients, it may be advisable to stratify them based on retrograde or only antegrade extension of the dissection.

- Aortic Insufficiency During Contemporary Left Ventricular Assist Device Support: Analysis of the INTERMACS Registry. [Journal Article]
- JHJACC Heart Fail 2018; 6(11):951-960
- CONCLUSIONS: Development of moderate to severe AI has a negative impact on hemodynamics, hospitalizations, and survival on CF-LVAD support. Pre- and post-implantation management strategies should be developed to prevent and treat this complication.

- Cardiac Valve Involvement in Takayasu Arteritis Is Common: A Retrospective Study of 1,069 Patients Over 25 Years. [Journal Article]
- AJAm J Med Sci 2018; 356(4):357-364
- CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac valve insufficiency is common in Chinese TA patients. Patients should undergo echocardiography once TA is diagnosed. In young women of reproductive age, TA should be considered when aortic regurgitation is detected.

- Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement in Patients With Previous Aortic Valve Replacement. [Journal Article]
- CCCirc Cardiovasc Interv 2018; 11(10):e006412
- CONCLUSIONS: Transapical mitral valve replacement with the Tiara valve in high-risk patients with severe MR and aortic valve prostheses is technically feasible and can be performed safely.

- Rate, Timing, Correlates, and Outcomes of Hemodynamic Valve Deterioration After Bioprosthetic Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement. [Journal Article]
- CircCirculation 2018 Sep 04; 138(10):971-985
- CONCLUSIONS: HVD as identified by Doppler echocardiography occurred in one third of patients and was associated with a 2.2-fold higher adjusted mortality. Diabetes mellitus and renal insufficiency were associated with early HVD, whereas female sex, warfarin use, and stented BPs (versus stentless) were associated with late HVD.

- Sutureless aortic bioprosthesis replacement in elderly Asian patients with aortic stenosis: Experience in a single institution. [Journal Article]
- BJBiomed J 2018; 41(4):265-272
- CONCLUSIONS: By simplified procedure and improved hemodynamics, SU-AVR can be implanted safely in elderly Asian population with excellent valvular performance.

- Outcomes after transaortic transcatheter aortic valve implantation: long-term findings from the European ROUTE. [Journal Article]
- EJEur J Cardiothorac Surg 2018 Oct 20
- CONCLUSIONS: Long-term outcomes after TAo-TAVI appear to be similar to those for TAVI via other non-transfemoral access routes. Awareness of characteristics associated with poorer outcomes may aid patient selection and identification of those requiring closer post-procedural monitoring.

- Development of a practical prediction score for chronic kidney disease after cardiac surgery. [Journal Article]
- BJBr J Anaesth 2018; 121(5):1025-1033
- CONCLUSIONS: We provide an easy-to-calculate scoring system to identify patients at high risk of developing CKD after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. This system might help clinicians to target more accurately patients requiring monitoring of renal function after cardiac surgery, and to design appropriate interventional trials aimed at preventing CKD or mitigating its consequences.
