ConferenceJTCVS Open · December 2024
OBJECTIVE: The transplantation of hearts from donors who experienced intracranial bleeding (ICB) has been associated with inferior long-term survival in both single-center analyses and, more recently, with the United Network for Ogan Sharing Registry. The ...

ConferenceJTCVS Open · October 2024
OBJECTIVE: Biologic valves dominate tricuspid valve replacement, yet data on different valve types are lacking. We compare the survival and durability of porcine and pericardial tricuspid prostheses. METHODS: A retrospective review of consecutive patients ...

ConferenceJ Heart Lung Transplant · May 2024
BACKGROUND: Cardiac metabolism is altered in heart failure and ischemia-reperfusion injury states. We hypothesized that metabolomic profiling during ex situ normothermic perfusion before heart transplantation (HT) would lend insight into myocardial substra ...

ConferenceJTCVS Tech · December 2023
OBJECTIVE: We developed a hybrid technique for repairing post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal defect (VSD) that combines infarct exclusion with patch and a nitinol-mesh septal occluder device (SOD) to provide a scaffold to support the damaged ...

ConferenceThe Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation · April 1, 2020
PURPOSE: Cardiac gene therapy remains limited by inefficient transgene delivery with currently available methods (intravenous infusion, transcatheter coronary artery infusion, direct myocardial injection). We previously demonstrated in a porcine heterotopi ...

ConferenceThe Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation · April 1, 2020
PURPOSE: Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients undergoing durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation has been associated with increased incidence of right heart failure (RHF). There is great surgical practice variability rela ...

ConferenceThe Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation · April 1, 2020
PURPOSE: Right heart failure (RHF) after LVAD implantation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Recently, the EUROMACS-RHF risk score was developed to predict postoperative RHF in this setting. In a single-center analysis, we assessed th ...

ConferenceThe Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation · April 1, 2020
PURPOSE: We previously reported that heart transplant (HTx) recipients with pre-formed, anti-HLA antibodies at low titer had one-year survival that was comparable to patients without any anti-HLA antibodies. As a result, we defined unacceptable HLA antigen ...

ConferenceJACC Heart Fail · July 2017
OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to provide the pre-specified primary endpoint of the ROADMAP (Risk Assessment and Comparative Effectiveness of Left Ventricular Assist Device and Medical Management in Ambulatory Heart Failure Patients) trial at 2 years. BACK ...

ConferenceClin Transplant · May 2017
BACKGROUND: Cardiac allografts are routinely evaluated by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before and after transplantation. However, myocardial deformation analyses with LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) are more sensitive for detecting impaire ...

ConferenceJ Crit Care · December 2014
OBJECTIVE: Although hemodynamic monitoring is often performed after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the role of monitoring postoperative central venous pressure (CVP) measurement as a predictor of clinical outcomes is unknown. As such, this study t ...

ConferenceJ Heart Lung Transplant · September 2014
BACKGROUND: Aortic insufficiency (AI) in patients supported with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVAD) results in regurgitant volume returning from the aorta to the left ventricle, increased LVAD pump volume and reduced systemic cardiac ...
