A STICKY SITUATION: DOES THROMBOCYTOPENIA INCREASE RISK FOR MAJOR ADVERSE EVENTS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING STENTLESS TISSUE VALVE IMPLANTATION?
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. The progressive aging of the general population is associated with a higher prevalence of aortic stenosis (AS) and associated co-morbidities. Surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) using stented tissue valves is a well-established treatment for AS. In recent years, novel surgical prostheses have become available that benefit this complex patient population.

WAKE UP AND SMELL WHAT'S BREWING: IS UNTREATED SLEEP APNEA INCREASING OUR PATIENTS' CARDIAC RISK?
To view the full text, please login as a subscribed user or purchase a subscription. Click here to view the full text on ScienceDirect. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious, underdiagnosed breathing disorder, characterized by episodes of partial or complete upper airway closure. It results in repeated periods of hypoxia and adverse hemodynamic changes. As a result, OSA poses many potential health concerns. Untreated OSA is correlated with cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality.
