Journal ArticleDOI
Does ministernotomy improve postoperative outcome in aortic valve operation? A prospective randomized study
TL;DR: The results showed that ministernotomy had not only important cosmetic advantages but also beneficial effects in blood loss and transfusion, postoperative pain, and probably in sternal stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early and long term outcome of the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries: predictors and functional evaluation.
Edvin Prifti,Adrian Crucean,Massimo Bonacchi,Massimo Bernabei,Bruno Murzi,Stefano Vincenzo Luisi,Vittorio Vanini +6 more
TL;DR: ASO remains the procedure of choice for the treatment of various forms of TGA with acceptable early and later outcome in terms of overall survival and free reoperation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory dysfunction after coronary artery bypass grafting employing bilateral internal mammary arteries: the influence of intact pleura.
TL;DR: It is concluded that pleural integrity has beneficial effects on the respiratory functional status after coronary revascularization using both IMAs and a meticulous and more careful IMA harvesting approach significantly reduces the postoperative morbidity regarding the pulmonary functional status, and as a consequence, reduces the hospital costs.
Journal Article
Ischemic mitral valve regurgitation grade II-III: correction in patients with impaired left ventricular function undergoing simultaneous coronary revascularization.
TL;DR: Surgical correction of grade II-III MVR in patients with impaired LV function should be taken into consideration as it provides better survival and improves LV function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repair of congenital malformations of the mitral valve: early and midterm results
Edvin Prifti,Vittorio Vanini,Massimo Bonacchi,Giacomo Frati,Massimo Bernabei,Gabriele Giunti,Adrian Crucean,Stefano Vincenzo Luisi,Bruno Murzi +8 more
TL;DR: Mitral valve repair for congenital mitral valve disease yields acceptable early and midterm mortality and reoperation rates and strong predictors for poor overall freedom from reoperation and midterm survival were age less than 1 year, hammock MV, cardiothoracic ratio greater than 0.6, and associated cardiac anomalies.
