Nontransfemoral Approaches to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

Interventional cardiology clinics

Murdock JE, Jensen HA, Thourani VH.
PMID: 28582125
Interv Cardiol Clin. 2015 Jan;4(1):95-105. doi: 10.1016/j.iccl.2014.09.006. Epub 2015 Feb 09.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is noninferior to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with high operative risk and superior to medical treatment in patients deemed unsuitable for surgical intervention. However, up to 30% to 50% of patients screened...

OBJECTIVE: : It is not known whether use of a clampless facilitating device during proximal graft anastamosis decreases intraoperative cerebral emboli in patients with mild atherosclerotic ascending aorta (AAA) having off-pump coronary artery bypass.METHODS: : After intraoperative epiaortic ultrasound...

Third-generation continuous flow left ventricular assist devices.

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)

Nguyen DQ, Thourani VH.
PMID: 22437454
Innovations (Phila). 2010 Jul-Aug;5(4):250-8. doi: 10.1097/IMI.0b013e3181ee77a1.

Tremendous advances have been made in the treatment of end-stage heart failure patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). An important factor playing a role in the improved clinical outcomes is the development of continuous flow, rotary LVADs. New...

Predictors of Surgical Intervention in Dialysis Patients With Infective Endocarditis.

Open forum infectious diseases

Woller Iii JA, Walsh VL, Robichaux C, Thourani VH, Jacob JT.
PMID: 30539033
Open Forum Infect Dis. 2018 Oct 20;5(11):ofy265. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofy265. eCollection 2018 Nov.

BACKGROUND: The use of valve surgery for infective endocarditis (IE) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients may be different than in the general population. We assessed predictors of early surgery in ESRD patients with IE.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective...
