Ischemic mitral regurgitation : Revascularization alone versus revascularization and mitral valve repair

TL;DR: In patients with IMR, combined mitral valve repair and revascularization resulted in less postoperative mitral regurgitation and similar 5-year survival when compared withRevascularization alone, and attempts to reduce pump time by using off-pump techniques may reduce early mortality in these high-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early Denervation and Later Reinnervation of the Heart Following Cardiac Transplantation: A Review.

TL;DR: Heart transplantation (HTx) surgically interrupts the parasympathetic vagal neurons and the intrinsic postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers traveling from the stellate ganglia to the myocardium, causing axonal Wallerian degeneration and thus extrinsic cardiac denervation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pre-existing pulmonary hypertension in patients with end-stage heart failure: impact on clinical outcome and hemodynamic follow-up after orthotopic heart transplantation.

TL;DR: It is found that residual post-transplant PHT is associated with decreased long-term survival and pre-existing elevated PVR that responds to vasodilator challenge does not have a negative influence on short- and long- term survival after HT.
