Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: The Experience of One Brazilian Health ...
Azevedo,Fabiula Schwartz; Correa,Marcelo Goulart; Paula,Débora Holanda Gonçalves; Felix,Alex dos Santos; Belém,Luciano Herman JuaçabaAbstract Objective: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been an alternative to invasive treatment for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis in high risk patients. The primary endpoint was 30-day and 1-year mortality from any cause. Secondary endpoints were to compare the clinical and echocardiographic variation pre-and post- transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and the occurrence of complications through...
Prevalence and Prediction of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Un...
Cazelli,José Guilherme; Camargo,Gabriel Cordeiro; Kruczan,Dany David; Weksler,Clara; Felipe,Alexandre Rouge; Gottlieb,IlanAbstract Background: The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in valvular patients is similar to that of the general population, with the usual association with traditional risk factors. Nevertheless, the search for obstructive CAD is more aggressive in the preoperative period of patients with valvular heart disease, resulting in the indication of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) to almost all adult p...
Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Rheumatic Valve Disease
Chavez,Ernesto Koehler; Colafranceschi,Alexandre Siciliano; Monteiro,Andrey José de Oliveira; Canale,Leonardo Secchin; Mesquita,Evandro TinocoAbstract Objective: To assess heart rhythm and predictive factors associated with sinus rhythm after one year in patients with rheumatic valve disease undergoing concomitant surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation. Operative mortality, survival and occurrence of stroke after one year were also evaluated. Methods: Retrospective longitudinal observational study of 103 patients undergoing rheumatic mitral valve ...
Asymptomatic and symptomatic embolic events in infective endocarditis: associat...
Monteiro,Thaíssa S.; Correia,Marcelo G.; Golebiovski,Wilma F.; Barbosa,Giovanna Ianini F.; Weksler,Clara; Lamas,Cristiane C.ABSTRACT Background: Embolic complications of infective endocarditis are common. The impact of asymptomatic embolism is uncertain. Objectives: To determine the frequency of emboli due to IE and to identify events associated with embolism. Methods: Retrospective analysis of an endocarditis database, prospectively implemented, with a post hoc study driven by analysis of data on embolic events. Data was obtained f...

Francischetto,Oslan; Silva,Luciana Almenara Pereira da; Senna,Katia Marie Simões e; Vasques,Marcia Regina; Barbosa,Giovanna Ferraiuoli; Weksler,ClaraBackground: Healthcare-associated infective endocarditis (HCA-IE), a severe complication of medical care, shows a growing incidence in literature. Objective: To evaluate epidemiology, etiology, risk factors for acquisition, complications, surgical treatment, and outcome of HCA-IE. Methods: Observational prospective case series study (2006-2011) in a public hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Results: Fifty-three patien...

Gonçalves,Aline Alves Vargas; Cardão,Fabíola Lúcio; Soares,Maria Gabriela Gomes; Weksler,André; Weksler,Clara; Tura,Bernardo RangelOBJETIVO: O objetivo deste estudo é verificar o valor de previsão da angina de peito no diagnóstico da DAC em pacientes portadores de EA, a partir da quinta década de vida. MÉTODOS: A população estudada foi constituída por 186 pacientes consecutivos com EA e idade e" 50 anos, referidos para cirurgia de troca valvar aórtica entre junho de 1989 e setembro de 2004. Cinecoronariografia de rotina foi realizada em to...

Rocha,Antônio Sérgio Cordeiro da; Rocha,Nazareth de Novaes da; Soares,Rita de Cássia Villela; Coimbra,Marialda; Ramos,Rosana Grandelle; Weksler,ClaraOBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether left ventricular end-systolic (ESD) diameters <FONT FACE=Symbol>£</FONT> 51mm in patients (pt) with severe chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) are predictors of a poor prognosis after mitral valve surgery (MVS). METHODS: Eleven pt (aged 36±13 years) were studied in the preoperative period (pre), median of 36 days; in the early postoperative period (post1), median of 9 days; and in t...
