Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement with a self-expanding prosthesis

David H. Adams, M.D et al.

We compared transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR), using a self-expanding transcatheter aortic-valve bioprosthesis, with surgical aortic-valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis and an increased risk of death during surgery. In patients with severe aortic steno...

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Using a Self-Expanding Bioprosthesis in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis at Extreme Risk for Surgery

Jeffrey J. Popma, MD, David H. Adams, MD et al.

This study sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CoreValve transcatheter heart valve (THV) for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis in patients at extreme risk for surgery.

Initial experience with routine less invasive implantation of HeartMate II left ventricular assist device without median sternotomy.

Anelechi C. Anyanwu, MD, Shinobu Itagakia, MD, Sean Pinney, MD and David H. Adams, MD

Standard implantation of HeartMate II (HMII) left ventricular assist device requires an extended median sternotomy; this incision, while generally well tolerated, may add morbidity in critically ill debilitated patients. We recently adopted a sternum sparing technique for routine HMII i...

Aortic valve and ascending aorta guidelines for management and quality measures: executive summary

Lars G. Svensson, MD, PhD, David H. Adams, MD et al.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Clinical Practice Guidelines are intended to assist physicians and other health care providers in clinical decision making by describing a range of generally acceptable approaches for the diagnosis, management, or prevention of specific diseases or condi...

Aortic valve and ascending aorta guidelines for management and quality measures

Lars G. Svensson, MD, PhD, David H. Adams, MD et al.

The question may be asked why another Guideline manuscript is needed. The reasons are fivefold: (1) to outline pros and cons of treatment options; (2) to outline areas where further research is needed, potentially from updated Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) data collection variables...

Change in Surgical Management as a Consequence of Real-time 3D TEE: Assessment of Left Ventricular Function

Gregory W. Fischer, MD, Anelechi C. Anyanwu, MD and David H. Adams, MD

Real-time 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (RT 3D TEE) is a novel imaging technology that is becoming more frequently encountered in the operating room environment. The authors present a case in which the availability of 3D TEE altered the surgical management of a patient ...

Epidemiology of Stroke After Cardiac Surgery in the Current Era

Ani C. Anyanwu, MD, Farzan Filsoufi, MD, Sacha P. Salzberg, MD, David J. Bronster, MD, David H. Adams, MD

Previous studies of the epidemiology of stroke in patients undergoing cardiac surgery have been based primarily on patients having coronary bypass surgery and therefore have limited applicability to the more heterogenous populations seen in the current era. We have demonstrated a relati...

Off-Pump Implant of the Jarvik 2000 Ventricular Assist Device Through Median Sternotomy

Ani C. Anyanwu, MD, Gregory W. Fischer, MD, Irina Plotkina, PA-C, Sean Pinney, MD, David H. Adams, MD

Implantation of a left ventricular assist device through a median sternotomy usually requires cardiopulmonary bypass. However, the biological response to cardiopulmonary bypass is sometimes deleterious in end-stage heart failure patients, as it may compound pre-existing coagulopathy or ...

Diabetes Is Not a Risk Factor for Hospital Mortality Following Contemporary Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Farzan Filsoufi, MD, Parwis B. Rahmanian, MD, Javier G. Castillo, MD, Jeffrey I. Mechanick, MD, Samin K. Sharma, MD, David H. Adams, MD

The outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in diabetic patients has traditionally been worse than in non-diabetic patients. Recent studies have suggested an improvement in outcome in diabetic patients undergoing contemporary CABG. However, the direct impact of diabetes on mor...

Excellent Results of Contemporary Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting With Systematic Application of Modern Perioperative Strategies

Farzan Filsoufi, MD, Parwis B. Rahmanian, MD, Javier G. Castillo, MD, Joanna Chikwe, MD, David H. Adams, MD

Despite a worsening case mix, contemporary CABG can be performed with excellent results (operative mortality < 1%). Off-pump CABG performed in very high-risk patients obtains results similar to those of the general CABG population. Diabetes and ejection fraction were not independent ...
