Much recent experimental evidence suggests that inflammatory reactions are involved in aneurysm formation and progression [1]. Vessel wall weakening has been attributed to the infiltration of a variety of cells, which leads to the upregulation of multiple cytokines [2]. A growing interest …

When Size Matters: Advanced Treatment of Acute Pulmonary Embolism Caused by a Large Snake‐Like Thrombus

Nicola Marchese, Alessandro Russo, Mauro Cassese, Carlo Vigna

A 56-year-old female patient presented with pulmonary embolism-related obstructive shock complicated by cardiac arrest. Computed tomography revealed a large snake-like thrombus. After unsuccessful imaging-guided transcatheter aspiration, targeting one end of the thrombus, surgical embolectomy was effective in removing a 48 cm single …

Safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for native pure aortic valve regurgitation

G Giovanni Cavalli, Albino Vallabini, Maurizio Braccio, Paola Spatuzza et autres

AIMS: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has become the standard of care for high-risk patients with aortic stenosis. Considering the unique procedural challenges posed by native pure aortic regurgitation (NPAR), our aim was to evaluate the early and mid-term results of off-label transcatheter …

Vertebral artery to common carotid artery transposition during total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk technique

Federico Pascucci, Mauro Cassese

Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) technique has progressively gained popularity in the treatment of aortic arch diseases, either in chronic or acute settings. [1] Thanks to its intrinsic characteristic, FET is often associated with adjunctive procedures. [2] Vertebral Artery (VA) transposition is usually …

Three-stage extensive aortic substitution in a young man with a variant of uncertain significance in myosin heavy chain 11 gene

Federico Pascucci, Tommaso Donati, Albino Vallabini, Mauro Cassese et autres

BackgroundNon-syndromic hereditary aortic diseases are caused by mutations in genes encoding for connective tissue components, involving structural integrity of aortic tissue. Amongst them, MYH11 gene mutation is a known causative factor for aortic diseases, especially in young patients.Research DesignWe report the case …

The Role of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy for the Management of Functional Mitral Regurgitation

Eleonora Russo, Giulio Russo, Mauro Cassese, Maurizio Braccio et autres

Valve leaflets and chordae structurally normal characterize functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), which in heart failure (HF) setting results from an imbalance between closing and tethering forces secondary to alterations in the left ventricle (LV) and left atrium geometry. In this context, FMR …

The hemodynamic performance of balloon-expandable aortic bioprostheses in the elderly: a comparison between rapid deployment and transcatheter implantation

Fortunato Iacovelli, Paolo Desario, Alessandro Cafaro, Antonio Pignatelli et autres

BACKGROUND: Surgical aortic valve replacement with a rapid deployment valve (RDV) is a relatively recent treatment option. The aim of this study was to compare the hemodynamic performance of balloon-expandable (BE)-RDVs and BE-transcatheter heart valves (THVs) in a high surgical risk and …

Predictors of persistence of functional mitral regurgitation after cardiac resynchronization therapy: Review of literature

Eleonora Russo, Giulio Russo, Maurizio Braccio, Mauro Cassese

Functional mitral regurgitation is a common finding among heart failure patients with ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathies. The presence of moderate or severe mitral regurgitation is associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Heart failure patients meeting electrocardiogram and left ventricle function criteria …

High Rates of Hidden HCV Infections among Hospitalized Patients Aged 55–85

Annarita Valeria Piazzolla, Giulia Paroni, Francesca Bazzocchi, Mauro Cassese et autres

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The WHO has solicited all countries to eliminate HCV by 2030. The Italian government started routine screening for HCV infection in January 2021, initially targeting subjects born between 1969 and 1989. With the aim of achieving micro-elimination, we designed …
