A 76-year-old male patient was referred to our institution with moderate-to-severe aortic and mitral insufficiency. The patient underwent totally endoscopic robot-assisted aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair. In this article, we present ...
We report the use of robot-assisted right thoracotomy in the management of a patient who presented with acute-on-chronic congestive heart failure, associated with a contained atrioventricular dissection and 2 prior mitral valve replacements. Our pati...

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent heart valve disease in western countries that poses a significant public health challenge due to the lack of a medical treatment to prevent valve calcification. Given the aging population demographic, the pr...
INTRODUCTION: We conducted the first comprehensive evaluation of the therapeutic value and safety profile of transcatheter mitral edge-to-edge repair (TEER) and transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) in individuals concurrently afflicted with ...
Calcification of the aortic valve (CAVDS) is a major cause of aortic stenosis (AS) leading to loss of valve function which requires the substitution by surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI). These ...
BACKGROUND: Baseline right ventricular (RV) function derived from 3-dimensional analyses has been demonstrated to be predictive in patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVR). The complex nature of these cumbersome analyses makes ...
INTRODUCTION: Transcatheter mitral valve repair offers a minimally invasive treatment option for patients at high risk for traditional open repair. We sought to develop dynamic machine-learning risk prediction models for in-hospital mortality after t...
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Delirium is a common complication after cardiac surgery and is associated with poor prognosis. An effective delirium prediction model could identify high-risk patients who might benefit from targeted prevention strategies. We introdu...
