TL;DR: In randomised studies completed to date, CoCr-EES has the lowest rate of stent thrombosis within 2 years of implantation and if confirmed in future randomised trials, represents a paradigm shift.

TL;DR: Patients with bicuspid valve disease show a quantitative reduction of T and B lymphocyte cell subsets, and future studies are encouraged to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying this observation and its pathophysiological significance.

TL;DR: The study showed that both cigarettes have unfavorable effects on markers of oxidative stress and FMD after single use, although e-Cigarettes seemed to have a lesser impact.

TL;DR: A strategy of radical debridement and aortic root replacement with a cryopreserved aortIC allograft for aorti prosthetic valve endocarditis is safe, effective, and recommended.

TL;DR: There are no specific data available, and rigorous clinical trials should be conducted to confirm the putative benefits of diet supplementation, probiotics, and nutraceuticals in the current pandemic, but large scientific evidence supports the benefits that some bacterial and molecular products may exert on the immune response to respiratory viruses.
