Aortic dissection in the first trimester; is it a dead end? A narrative review of recent articles

TL;DR: Aortic dissection during pregnancy is considered a rare and potentially fatal complication for both mother and fetus as mentioned in this paper , and the definite treatment for an acute-type AD is considered to be open-heart surgery, but the decision to perform such a surgery during pregnancy requires a multidisciplinary approach and carries significant risks.

Prevalence and Predictive Factors of Early Degeneration of Bioprosthetic Mitral Valves: A Single-Center Cohort Study

TL;DR: In this article , the frequency and predictors of early degeneration of mitral valve were investigated using the Cox regression hazards model, and the only independent predictor was a high MV mean gradient in the first postoperative echocardiography.
Book ChapterDOI

Cardiac valve replacement and related interventions

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provide a broad overview and approach to the analysis of different prosthetic heart valves that may be encountered as surgical pathology or autopsy specimens (and potentially in a research setting).

Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Implantation for Aortic Stenosis in Patients Who Cannot Undergo Surgery

TL;DR: In patients with severe aortic stenosis who were not suitable candidates for surgery, TAVI, as compared with standard therapy, significantly reduced the rates of death from any cause, the composite end point of deathFrom any cause or repeat hospitalization, and cardiac symptoms, despite the higher incidence of major strokes and major vascular events.

Transcatheter Aortic-Valve Replacement for Inoperable Severe Aortic Stenosis

TL;DR: Among appropriately selected patients with severe aortic stenosis who were not suitable candidates for surgery, TAVR reduced the rates of death and hospitalization, with a decrease in symptoms and an improvement in valve hemodynamics that were sustained at 2 years of follow-up.

Outcomes 15 years after valve replacement with a mechanical versus a bioprosthetic valve: final report of the Veterans Affairs randomized trial.

TL;DR: At 15 years, patients undergoing AVR had a better survival with a mechanical valve than with a bioprosthetic valve, largely because primary valve failure was virtually absent with mechanical valve.
