Journal ArticleDOI
Concomitant aortic and mitral surgery: to replace or repair the mitral valve?
TL;DR: Concomitant mitral and aortic valve surgery carries a low surgical risk, however, mitral valve replacement was associated with an increased incidence of adverse events and valve repair, whenever feasible, is a better option.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronary artery bypass surgery without cardioplegia: hospital results in 8515 patients†.
Pedro E. Antunes,J. Ferrão de Oliveira,David Prieto,Gonçalo F. Coutinho,Pedro Correia,Carlos Branco,Manuel J. Antunes +6 more
TL;DR: Isolated CABG with CPB using non-cardioplegic methods proved very safe, with low mortality and morbidity, and remain as very useful alternative techniques of myocardial preservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term follow-up of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation and preserved left ventricular function
TL;DR: Mitral valve repair can be achieved in the majority of patients with low mortality (<1%) and excellent long-term survival, particularly younger patients (aged <65 years), and patients with atrial fibrillation or pulmonary hypertension are at increased risk of mitral reoperation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review and meta-analysis of surgical outcomes comparing mechanical valve replacement and bioprosthetic valve replacement in infective endocarditis.

TL;DR: The presence of infective endocarditis alone should not influence the decision of which type of valve prosthesis that should be implanted, and this decision should be based on patient age, co-morbidities and preferences.
