Moderate and Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest has a Comparable Effect on Acute Kidney Injury After Total Arch Replacement with Frozen Elephant Trunk Procedure in Type A Aortic Dissection

Coagulation Activation and Organ Dysfunction Following Cardiac Surgery

We documented the association between coagulation activation and organ dysfunction to investigate whether coagulation activation also plays a role in organ injury following cardiac surgery with CPB.

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Reconstruction on the Fibrillating Heart for High-Risk Patients

Mitral valve surgery after previous cardiac surgery is technically demanding and risky. In patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), mitral valve surgery is associated with a high risk of injury to the bypass graft with concomitant myocardial ischemia.

First-in-Man Transcatheter Mitral Valve-in-Ring Implantation with a Repositionable and Retrievable Aortic Valve Prosthesis

The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of the fully repositionable and retrievable Direct Flow Medical (DFM) valve for the treatment of mitral annuloplasty failure.
