    Title translation Sex-related differences in the treatment of coronary artery disease.
    Abstract Differential outcomes between men and women following the treatment of coronary artery disease are currently under investigation. An increasing amount of evidence supports the concept that the differential anatomical features, functional characteristics, and risk factors between the two sexes should be considered in decision making for the therapeutic strategy to adopt in patients with coronary artery disease. Most risk scores have been developed based on predominantly male populations and might not work well for predicting cardiovascular risk in women. Moreover, there are currently no specific recommendations for a differential diagnostic work-up or treatment based on sex. We review and discuss the latest evidence on the outcomes of men and women undergoing treatment of coronary artery disease by means of percutaneous or surgical revascularization.

    Abstract The meta-analysis by He et al. has the worth to cover, as much as possible, a gap of scientific evidence were conducting a randomized trial appears very complex for ethical and logistical reasons. The authors concluded that mitral valve repair (MVP) provides better-pooled results, both early and late, with respect to mitral valve replacement. However, the superiority of MVP is driven by some single large cohort studies where surgeons had wide experience in the field of MVP for infective endocarditis. This finding is also confirmed by other studies. But if mitral repair produces such a better short- and long-term survival than replacement, why are there no clear indications from consensus and guidelines pushing surgeons toward the pursuit of a reconstructive procedure at almost any cost? We wonder to repair or not to repair, is that really the question? The AATS consensus suggests repairing "whenever possible" but without providing more specific indications. If the two primary goals of surgery are total removal of infected tissues and reconstruction of cardiac morphology, including repair or replacement of the affected valve(s), probably MVP should be performed in case of less extensive tissue detriment by the infection. In more wide valve involvement, MVP may be the choice but only in very expert hands and in Centers with a very large volumes of valve repairing. This decision cannot, therefore, be the result of the choice of an individual but must derive from a careful multidisciplinary discussion to be held in an EndoTeam.

    Abstract In recent years the tricuspid is no longer considered the "forgotten valve," but nowadays, specialists focused the treatment of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) especially at the time of left heart valve (LHV) surgery, overlooking the emerging entity of isolated TR. Its incidence appears to be rising along with the higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), intracardiac devices and intravenous drug users. Hence, the aim of the present review is to summarize the available evidences in terms of natural history, clinical presentation and treatment of isolated TR. Tricuspid regurgitation is commonly classified into primary and secondary etiology. Primary or organic TR is relatively uncommon (10%) and may be due to either acquired or congenital diseases. Conversely, secondary or functional TR, caused by dilatation and flattening of the tricuspid annulus along with increase of leaflet tethering due to the remodeling of the right ventricle (RV) has become in last decade an emerging entity. Secondary TR may be due grade progression after left heart valve surgery, to previous TV surgery failure, RV remodeling or permanent AF. Primary TR causes pure volume overload on initially normal right-sided cardiac chambers. Conversely, RV enlargement is the major finding of secondary TR; RV systolic area, RV spherical index and right atrial area were identified as independent factors correlated with TV tethering height. The RV has less muscle mass than the left ventricle, and RV systolic function is therefore more load sensitive. Thus, pulmonary hypertension results in an early fall in RV ejection fraction and associated RV enlargement. An interesting entity is isolated TR related to AF, whose prevalence is estimated to be 14% in recent studies. It is known to cause dilation of the mitral and tricuspid annulus, together with changes in the dynamic mechanisms that govern the variation in area size during the cardiac cycle; as a matter of fact the relative change in TA area was significantly lower in AF (13.5%) than in sinus rhythm (SR) (33.1%). In isolated TR, medical therapy (MT) is indicated only in patients with secondary TR having also severe RV/LV dysfunction or severe pulmonary hypertension. Diuretics are the main MT in case of isolated TR in the presence of right HF in carefully selected candidates, surgery can be performed safely with good long-term survival and it should be considered early at first stages. In the treatment of isolated TR we had two diametrically opposed approaches so far, such as medical therapy, based almost exclusively on diuretics, and surgical therapy. In this scenario, trans-catheter approach is gaining momentum, including repair or replacement treatment. The former sees the use of devices for direct or indirect annuloplasty, or leaflet approximation. The second consists of orthotopic or heterotopic replacement devices (transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement devices). Evidences from randomized studies and longer follow-up will help clarify the best patient selection and treatment strategies.

    Abstract It is well known that the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) should be the first conduit of choice. Similarly, especially in patients younger than 70 years, other conduits should be search among arterial grafts, such as right internal mammary artery (RIMA) or radial artery (RA). If the RA can be harvested in the meanwhile of LIMA harvesting without time consuming, it is well established that former one has to be grafted only on presence of a good run-off. One of the main criticisms moved to the use of RIMA are linked to technical difficulties in its harvesting it.
