    Coşkun, Şenol; Sahin, Tayfun; Mirzamidinov, Didar; Boyacı, Ali

    Amaç: Bu çalışmada nonkardiyak orta-yüksek riskli hastalarda preoperatif BNP seviyelerinin postoperatif komplikasyonları öngörmedeki etkinliğini araştırmayı planladık. Yöntem: Kocaeli Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi’ne bir yıl içinde başvuran, cerrahi kliniklerinde orta ve yüksek riskli cerrahi operasyon amacıyla yatırılan ve ameliyat öncesi kardiyak değerlendirme kapsamında beyin natriüretik peptid (BNP) ölçümü yapılan toplam 102 hasta çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Hastaların intraoperatif ve postoperatif dönemlerdeki takipleri kaydedildi; postoperatif dönemde gelişen komplikasyonlar ile taburculuk sonrası 6 aylık izlem süresinde meydana gelen klinik olaylar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Kalp yetersizliği öyküsü olanlarda (n = 26) BNP değeri anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (920±1128 pg/ml, 274±522 pg/ml p<0,001). Hastane içi (n=10) ve toplam ölüm (n=21) ile preoperatif yüksek BNP değerinin (p=0,009, p<0,001) anlamlı derecede ilişkili olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Preoperatif BNP kalp yetersizliği olsun veya olmasın tüm hastalarda postoperatif kalp yetersizliği gelişimi, hastane içi ölüm, hastane içi toplam olay ve altıncı aydaki toplam ölümü ön gördürebilir.

    Prognostic Value of Myocardial Contraction Fraction for One-Year Cardiac Death After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Severe Aortic Stenosis: A Simple Echocardiographic Metric for High-Risk Stratification; [Miyokard Kontraksiyon Fraksiyonunun Prognostik Değeri: Yüksek Riskli Hastaların Belirlenmesinde Basit Bir Ekokardiyografik Ölçüt]

    Coşkun, Şenol; Mirzamidinov, Didar; Karaüzüm, Kurtuluş; Tiryakioğlu, Selma Kenar; Şahin, Tayfun; Kılıç, Teoman

    Objective: Myocardial contraction fraction (MCF) is a volumetric index of myocardial shortening that relates left ventricular stroke volume to myocardial volume. In patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) may remain preserved despite advanced myocardial remodeling. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of MCF for predicting 1-year cardiac death in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Method: This retrospective, single-center study included 419 consecutive patients with severe AS who underwent TAVI at a tertiary center. MCF was calculated by dividing stroke volume by left ventricular myocardial volume and multiplying the result by 100. Left ventricular myocardial volume was derived by dividing left ventricular myocardial mass by the myocardial density, which was assumed to be 1.05g/mL. The primary endpoint was 1-year cardiac death. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to identify the optimal MCF cutoff value, and the patients were divided into low- and high-MCF groups according to this threshold. Results: The ROC-derived MCF cutoff value for predicting 1-year cardiac death was 24, with an area under the curve of 0.783 (95% CI, 0.716-0.851), a sensitivity of 78.1, and a specificity of 71.8. Patients with MCF≤24% had lower LVEF and stroke volume index values, higher myocardial mass index and pulmonary artery pressure values, and larger left ventricular diameters than those with MCF>24%. One-year cardiac death occurred in 32 patients (7.6%) and was significantly more frequent in the MCF≤24% group than in the MCF>24% group (18.7% vs. 2.5%; P < 0.001). In univariable Cox regression analysis, MCF≤24% was strongly associated with 1-year cardiac death. In multivariable analysis, higher MCF, evaluated as a continuous variable, remained independently associated with a lower risk of 1-year cardiac death. Conclusion: Reduced MCF was associated with adverse left ventricular remodeling and increased 1-year cardiac death after TAVI. MCF may provide additional prognostic information beyond conventional echocardiographic parameters in patients with severe AS undergoing TAVI.

    Comparison of safety and short-term outcomes of septostomy and direct tunnel passage techniques in percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure: a multicenter experience

    Coskun, Senol; Tiryakioğlu, Selma Kenar; Mirzamidinov, Didar; Inan, Duygu; Kilicgedik, Alev; Sahin, Tayfun; Kilic, Teoman

    Background – Percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an established therapeutic strategy for patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS). This study aimed to compare the procedural safety, efficacy, and short-term clinical outcomes of atrial septostomy vs. standard direct tunnel passage techniques for PFO closure. Methods – We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent PFO closure for CS at four centers between January 2010 and December 2020. Demographic characteristics, vascular risk factors, Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) scores, PFO anatomical features, procedural details, and clinical outcomes were compared between patients treated with atrial septostomy and those undergoing direct tunnel passage. Continuous variables are presented as mean ± standard deviation or median [interquartile range], and categorical variables as counts and percentages. Results – A total of 246 patients were included (mean age 40.5 ± 9.8 years), of whom 69.9% presented with ischemic stroke and 30.1% with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Atrial septostomy was performed in 106 patients (43.1%), while 140 patients (56.9%) underwent direct tunnel passage. Baseline clinical characteristics were comparable between groups; however, the septostomy group exhibited significantly more complex PFO anatomy, including atrial septal aneurysm (69.8% vs. 39.3%), septal hypermobility (62.3% vs. 34.3%), and spontaneous shunting at rest (85.8% vs. 50.7%; all p < 0.001). Procedure duration was similar between groups (41.1 ± 10.2 vs. 40.7 ± 13.8 min; p = 0.83), and technical success was achieved in nearly all cases. No major procedural complications occurred. Minor adverse events were infrequent and comparable (8.4% vs. 4.3%; p = 0.20). At six-month follow-up, residual shunt rates were numerically lower in the septostomy group (6.6% vs. 11.4%; p = 0.27). No TIAs were observed in the septostomy group, whereas a 3.6% incidence was noted in the direct passage group (p = 0.08). New-onset atrial arrhythmia occurred in two patients (1.9%) in the septostomy group and in none of the direct passage group (p = 0.18). Conclusion – Despite being applied in patients with more complex PFO anatomy, atrial septostomy demonstrated comparable procedural safety, technical success, and short-term efficacy to standard direct tunnel passage. Tunnel length emerged as an independent predictor of residual shunt, regardless of closure technique. In experienced centers, atrial septostomy appears to be a safe and practical alternative for anatomically challenging PFO closures.

    Myval Transcatheter Heart Valve: The Future of Transcatheter Valve Replacement and Significance in Current Timeline

    Kilic, Teoman; Coskun, Senol; Mirzamidinov, Didar; Yilmaz, Irem; Yavuz, Sadan; Sahin, Tayfun

    The Myval is a balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV) developed by Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. (Vapi, Gujarat, India) that has an innovative operator-friendly design that aids in improving deliverability and features precise deployment. Various clinical studies demonstrate its effectiveness and safety, making it a promising choice in valvular interventions. Myval has been successfully utilized as a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) device in cases with conduction disturbances, bicuspid aortic valve anatomy, non-calcified aortic regurgitation, dysfunctional stenosed right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) conduits, pulmonary valve replacement, mitral valve replacement, and valve-in-valve and valve-in-ring implantation procedures. Myval’s diverse sizes are also of key importance in complex cases of large annuli and complex anatomy. Further long-term studies are needed to consolidate these results. Its introduction signifies a significant advancement in cardiology, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life. In the present review, we provide an update on new-generation Myval THV series and review the available clinical data published to date with an emphasis on diverse use in specific clinical scenarios.
