Interventional Cardiovascular Surgery

Cardiac surgery is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary artery bypass grafting) or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes. Cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists and imaging specialists typically work together as the Heart Team, in particular in structural heart centres of excellence. In this section, you will find a selection of content in the field of interventional vardiovascular surgery.

Prognostic implications of residual tricuspid regurgitation grading after transcatheter tricuspid valve repair

18 Jun 2024

The take-home message for clinicians is that in the treatment of tricuspid regurgitation, the most frequent valvular disease alongside aortic stenosis, redefining procedural success as a function of the residual degree of TR is crucial.

Percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with left main disease with and without diabetes: findings from a pooled analysis of 4 randomized clinical trials

30 Apr 2024

This analysis shows that diabetic patients undergoing revascularization face substantially higher 5-year rates of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularizations, and stroke compared to non-diabetic patients.

TAVI versus SAVR in patients at low to intermediate risk: One year outcomes of the randomized DEDICATE-DZHK6 Trial

08 Apr 2024

Luigi Biasco interviews Moritz Seiffert about the one-year outcomes of the randomized DEDICATE-DZHK6 trial which he presented at ACC.24 in Atlanta.

TAVR was found non-inferior to SAVR in low-risk patients, showing decreased rates of death or stroke at one year. The trial supports TAVR's safety and efficacy, highlighting...
