Contemporary surgical techniques for mitral valve replacement in extensive mitral annular calcification

Ahmed El-Eshmawi, Gilbert H L Tang, Erick Sun, Sophia L Alexis, Busra Cangut, Dimosthenis Pandis, Percy Boateng, David H Adams

AbstractObjectivesMitral annular calcification remains a formidable lesion in cardiac surgery with significant perioperative morbidity and mortality, particularly when en bloc annular decalcification is implemented. Respect strategies and hybrid approaches have provided safe alternative...

Arrhythmic Mitral Valve Prolapse With Only Mild or Moderate Mitral Regurgitation: Characterization of Myocardial Substrate

Marc A Miller, Ana Devesa, Philip M Robson, Steve L Liao, Renata Pyzik, Ahmed El-Eshmawi, Percy Boateng, Dimosthenis Pandis, Srinivas R Dukkipati, Vivek Y Reddy, David H Adams, Zahi A Fayad, Maria G Trivieri

AbstractBackground: Sustained ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death due to degenerative mitral valve prolapse (MVP) can occur in the absence of severe mitral regurgitation (MR). A significant percentage of patients with MVP-related sudden death do not have any evidence of rep...

The use of transesophageal echocardiography to predict surgical complexity scoring system for degenerative mitral valve repair

Himani V Bhatt, Lauren Lisann-Goldman, Elvera L Baron, Benjamin S Salter, Hung-Mo Lin, Shinobu Itagaki, Anelechi C Anyanwu, David H Adams, Gregory W Fischer, Ahmed El-Eshmawi

AbstractBackground: For severe mitral valve (MV) degenerative disease, repair is recommended. Prediction of repair complexity and referral to high volume centers can increase rates of successful repair. This study sought to demonstrate that TEE is a feasible imaging modality to predict ...

Total artificial heart implantation as a bridge to transplantation in the United States

Shinobu Itagaki, Nana Toyoda, Natalia Egorova, Erick Sun, Timothy Lee, Percy Boateng, Gregory Gibson, Noah Moss, Donna Mancini, David H Adams, Anelechi C Anyanwu

AbstractObjectivesAlthough the SynCardia total artificial heart (SynCardia Systems, LLC) was approved for use as a bridge to transplantation in 2004 in the United States, most centers do not adopt the total artificial heart as a standard bridging strategy for patients with biventricular...

Health Status After Transcatheter Tricuspid-Valve Repair in Patients With Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation

Suzanne V Arnold, Scott Goates, Paul Sorajja, David H Adams, Ralph Stephan von Bardeleben, Samir R Kapadia, David J Cohen; TRILUMINATE Pivotal Trial Investigators

AbstractBackground: In the TRILUMINATE Pivotal (Trial to Evaluate Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients Treated with the Tricuspid Valve Repair System Pivotal), tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) reduced tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and improved health status compared wi...

Late Pulmonary Autograft Dilation: Can We Make a Good Operation Great? The Tailored Approach

Ismail El-Hamamsy, Luca A Vricella

While it is the main viable option in the growing child and young adult, the Ross procedure has expanded its applicability to older patients, for whom long-term results are equivalent, if not superior, to prosthetic aortic valve replacement. Strategies aiming at mitigating long-term aut...
