Mitral valve repair for severe mitral valve regurgitation during left ventricular assist device implantation.

Amit Pawale, MD, Shinobu Itagaki, MD, Aditya Parikh, MD, Sean P. Pinney, MD, David H.Adams, MD, Anelechi C. Anyanwu, MD

BACKGROUND: The management of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) at the time of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is controversial. We adopted an approach of systematic repair of severe MR at the time of LVAD implantation and report our experience. METHODS: We performe...

5-Year Outcomes of Self-Expanding Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in High-Risk Patients.

Thomas G. Gleason, MD, David H. Adams, MD, et al.

BACKGROUND: The CoreValve U.S. Pivotal High Risk Trial was the first randomized trial to show superior 1-year mortality of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) among high operative mortality-risk patients. OBJECTIVES: Th...

Reply: Off-Pump Surgeons' Experience Is Paramount to Delivering High-Quality CABG Outcomes: But What Constitutes Experience?

Joanna Chikwe, MD, Timothy Lee, MD, Shinobu Itagaki, MD, David H. Adams, MD, Natalia N. Egorova, PhD

In summary, even when off-pump surgery is performed by experienced off-pump surgeons averaging around 500 prior off-pump cases and performing >80% of their cases off-pump, rates of incomplete revascularization and late mortality are significantly worse with off-pump surgery compared ...

Long-Term Outcomes After Off-Pump Versus On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting by Experienced Surgeons.

Joanna Chikwe, MD, Timothy Lee, MD, Shinobu Itagaki, MD, David H. Adams, MD, Natalia N. Egorova, PhD

BACKGROUND: Long-term benefits of off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are controversial. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to compare long-term survival and morbidity after on-pump versus off-pump CABG. METHODS: Mandatory clinical and administrative registri...

Total Arterial Revascularization for Coronary Artery Bypass: A Gold Standard Searching for Evidence and Application.

Ani Anyanwu, MD, David H. Adams, MD

SUMMARY We have abundant biological and clinical evidence as to why veins are less desirable than arteries as CABG conduits. If multiple arterial grafting were a pill, surgeons would most likely prescribe it every day to most patients who undergo CABG based on the currently available d...

Correlation of 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional Echocardiographic Analysis to Surgical Measurements of the Tricuspid Valve Annular Diameter.

Himani V. Bhatt, DO, MPA, FASE, FASA, John Spivack, PhD, Pritul R. Patel, MD, Ahmed El-Eshmawi, MD, Yasmin Amir, BS, David H. Adams, MD, Gregory W. Fischer, MD, FASA

Three-dimensional imaging and measurement of the TV annular diameter is feasible in the OR setting. The superiority of the 3D measurements versus 2D measurements allows for greater precision and accuracy and may guide better intraoperative surgical decision-making.
