    Abstract (1) Objective: Twenty years’ experience of Bentall–De Bono operations by one surgeon. (2) Methods: From January 2003 to September 2023, four-hundred-and-two patients aged 65.9 ± 15 years underwent a Bentall operation. The EuroScore-2 was 5.0% ± 3.8%. Associated procedures were performed on 113 patients (28.1%). Results: Operative mortality was 1.2% ( n = 5), in particular 0.69% ( n = 2/289) for isolated Bentall operation, 2.65% ( n = 3/113) for combined procedures ( p < 0.05). Postoperative acute heart failure occurred in 38 patients (9.45%). Preoperative pulmonary hypertension (44 ± 14 vs. 33 ± 7 mmHg), cardiopulmonary bypass time (169 ± 61 min. vs. 124 ± 42 min.) and aortic cross-clamp time (133 ± 45 min. vs. 107 ± 34 min.) have been recognized as independent predictors of mortality and cardiac complications ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: In our experience, the Bentall operation was associated with low operative mortality and low rate of complications. For this reason, in agreement with the patients, we have modified surgical indication for ascending aortic aneurysms and now we think that it is time to change surgical guidelines.

    Abstract The main cause of mortality in Marfan syndrome (MS) is aortic disease. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in MS, and it is also associated with cardiovascular risk and maxillary deformities. The aim of this research was to analyze the possible relations between OSA, palatal morphology, and aortic root diameters in growing subjects. A group of 15 growing subjects with MS and a control group of healthy peers was selected. All of them underwent nocturnal polygraphic monitoring, digital dental casts, and transthoracic echocardiography. The results showed that OSA indexes and aortic diameters were significantly higher in the study group. Transversal palatal dimension was smaller in MS patients. Moreover, OSA severity was not related with maxillary contraction severity in MS. No correlation between OSA severity and increased aortic diameters occurred. A high prevalence of OSA, increased aortic dimensions, and significant contraction of palatal dimensions were observed in MS compared with the control group. None of these single factors may directly be associated with aortic dilation, but together, they might contribute to the development and progression of aortic aneurysm from a young age.

    Abstract Study objective: To evaluate the long-term outcomes of clampless off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (C-OPCAB) compared with conventional on-pump double clamping coronary artery bypass grafting (C-CABG). Methods: From October 2006 to December 2011, 366 patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. After propensity score matching of preoperative variables, 143 pairs were selected who received C-OPCAB with the use of device-assisted PAS-Port proximal venous graft anastomoses or C-CABG, performed by the same surgeon experienced in both techniques. Data of the two groups of patients were retrospectively analyzed up to 14 years of follow-up. Results: As compared with C-OPCAB, in the C-CABG patients, the performed number of grafts per patient was higher (2.9 ± 0.5 vs. 2.6 ± 0.6, p -value 0.0001). At 14 years, overall survival, including in-hospital death, was 64 ± 4.7% for the C-OPCAB vs. 55 ± 5.5% for the C-CABG, freedom from overall MACCEs 51 ± 6.2% vs. 41 ± 7.7%, and from late cardiac death 94 ± 2.4% vs. 96 ± 2.2% ( p -value not significant, for all comparisons). No significant statistical differences were observed in the actual rates of adverse events during follow-up. Independent predictors of survival were advanced age at operation ( p -value 0.001) and a lower mean value of preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction ( p -value 0.015). Conclusions: Our single-center study analysis suggests that clampless OPCAB using device-assisted proximal anastomoses proved to be not inferior to double-clamping CABG in the long-term follow-up, provided that involved surgeons are familiar with both techniques. These conclusions are supported by a large and long-term follow-up period, eliminating potential bias, i.e., by means of the propensity score matching and analyzing single-surgeon experience.

    Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) presents a great burden for elderly patients, their caregivers, and health systems. Structural and functional alterations of vessels accumulate throughout life, culminating in increased risk of developing CVD. Several inflammatory pathway are involved in vascular ageing. The growing elderly population worldwide highlights the need to understand how aging promotes CVD in order to develop new strategies to confront this challenge. In this review we analyzed the role of stem cells and new intervention measures as emerging drugs for vascular aging.
