Objectives: We sought to determine both the procedural performance and safety of
percutaneous implantation of the second (21-French [F])-and third (18-F)-generation …

OBJECTIVE: In some respects, outcome reporting in valvular surgery has been hampered
by focusing on specific populations, reluctance to publish high-risk subgroups, and possibly …

Abstract Aims The European System for Cardiac Operation Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) is
widely used for predicting in-hospital mortality after cardiac surgery. A new score …

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous aortic valve replacement (PAVR) trials are ongoing in
patients with an elevated European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation …

BACKGROUND: The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation
(EuroSCORE) was developed to predict immediate outcomes after adult cardiac operations …

Background: Aortic valve replacement (AVR) can be performed safely in selected elderly
patients with aortic stenosis (AS). However, the survival benefits of AVR over conservative …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of transcatheter aortic
valve implantation (TAVI) on left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and diastolic function in …

Myocardial ischemia is often associated to aortic valve stenosis in the elderly. Aim of this
study was to evaluate the impact on survival and quality of life of CABG associated to aortic …

Objective: To develop a multivariate prediction model for in-hospital mortality following aortic
valve replacement. Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data on 4550 …

Background and Aim of the Study: European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation
(EuroSCORE) has been studied for its effectiveness in predicting operative mortality, and …
