Key result
Transseptal mitral approach during multivalvular surgery linked to 0 complications, conduction abnormalities, or procedure-related deaths.
Why the study?
The short and mid-term outcomes of the transseptal approach to the mitral valve during multivalvular surgery were investigated to assess safety and feasibility.
Is the transseptal approach to the mitral valve safe in patients undergoing multivalvular surgery necessitating right atriotomy?
Observational (n=62)
Is the transseptal approach to the mitral valve safe in patients undergoing multivalvular surgery necessitating right atriotomy?
The transseptal approach to the mitral valve is a safe and simple technique without associated complications or conduction abnormalities in patients requiring concomitant right atriotomy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support transseptal safety in right atriotomy cases; leaves open confirmation in prospective trials.
Aykut et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Multivalvular disease requiring surgery (n=62). Transseptal approach to the mitral valve was evaluated on Complications, conduction abnormalities, and procedure-related deaths. The transseptal approach for mitral valve operations during multivalvular surgery was associated with 0 complications, conduction abnormalities, or procedure-related deaths.
