Journal ArticleDOI

Significant value of autopsy for quality management in cardiac surgery

TL;DR: A high overall discrepancy rate between premortem and autopsy diagnoses was recognized, and autopsy revealed clinically relevant information in a significant number of cases, suggesting autopsy remains essential for quality assessment in perioperative treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guía de práctica clínica de la ESC sobre revascularización miocárdica, 2014

TL;DR: Autores/Miembros del Grupo de Trabajo: Stephan Windecker*, Philippe Kolh* (coordinador de la EACTS) (Bélgica), Fernando Alfonso (España), Jean-Philippe Collet (Francia), Jochen Cremer (Alemania), Volkmar Falk (Suiza), Gerasimos Filippatos (Grecia)
Journal ArticleDOI

Interventional and surgical occlusion of the left atrial appendage.

TL;DR: The pharmacological and mechanical approaches to LAA occlusion are described, the current clinical evidence for various strategies are provided, and the challenges and future implications of the available approaches are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimally invasive off-pump valve-in-a-valve implantation: the atrial transcatheter approach for re-operative mitral valve replacement.

TL;DR: Transatrial, transcatheter mitral VinV implantation is feasible off pump, which is a truly minimally invasive concept to treat patients with failed xenografts using a right lateral minithoracotomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Physiological Controller for Turbodynamic Ventricular Assist Devices Based on a Measurement of the Left Ventricular Volume

TL;DR: The results show that the controller induces a response similar to the physiological circulation and effectively prevents over- and underpumping, i.e., ventricular suction and backflow from the aorta to the left ventricle, respectively in the case of a disturbed LVV signal.
