Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Left Ventricular Geometry as a Predictor of Carotid Artery Stenosis Severity in Patients Undergoing Carotid Artery Stenting(Wiley, 2020) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Huseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, Engin; Duran Karaduman, BilgeBackground and Aim Cerebrovascular diseases are the second most common cause of death worldwide. Moderate and severe carotid artery stenosis causes nearly 10% of all strokes. LV geometry is a familiar prognostic and diagnostic factor in several populations; yet, data on its role in carotid artery stenosis are unknown. In our study, we investigated the prognostic value of LV geometry in predicting carotid artery stenosis severity in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. Methods Patients who underwent carotid artery stenting between January 2012 and January 2016 at our tertiary care center were evaluated retrospectively. Two hundred fifty-five patients who underwent carotid artery stenting were included in the study. Accessible echocardiographic documentation of ninety-eight patients was accessed and evaluated. Results LV normal geometry was detected in 37 (37.7%) of the 98 carotid artery stenting (CAS) patients, concentric hypertrophy in 13 (13.2%), eccentric hypertrophy in 9 (9.1%), and concentric remodeling in 39 (39.7%). By a majority, distal filter was used in normal geometry and eccentric hypertrophy groups (82.9% vs 100%, P: .017). Considering the relationship between carotid artery stenosis severity and LV geometry, we determined that the stenosis severity was statistically significantly higher in the concentric hypertrophy group (p:0.012). However, although no complications were detected in the concentric hypertrophy group, it did not reach statistical significance between the groups (P: .058). LVMi and as expected, Doppler velocity showed a significant correlation with stenosis severity (r = .23 vs .54; P: .021, <.001, respectively). Conclusion Echocardiographic evaluation of LV geometry provided prognostic information in the development of carotid artery stenosis. Abnormal LV geometry is an independent predictor in detecting the severity of carotid artery stenosis undergoing carotid artery stenting.Editorial Citation - Scopus: 1The Playmaker of the Mitral Valve Disease: Mitral Annulus(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2020) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Huseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, Engin; Duran Karaduman, Bilge[No Abstract Available]Editorial Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 7Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve-In Implantation With a Novel Balloon Expandable Myval Thv(Elsevier Science inc, 2021) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Huseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, Engin; Duran Karaduman, BilgeThe transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation has not yet been clarified, and several case series have documented results in patients with tricuspid bioprosthetic valve degeneration who underwent transcatheter implantation of Edwards SAPIEN XT and SAPIEN 3 (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) and Medtronic (Minneapolis, MN) valves. Here, we present the case of a patient with severe bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis who was successfully treated with the transfemoral route through the 29-mm novel balloon expandable Myval transcatheter heart valve (Meril Life Sciences Pvt Ltd, Vapi, Gujarat, India) system. (C) 2021 by The Society of Thoracic SurgeonsArticle Citation - Scopus: 1Stenotic Double-Orifice Mitral Valve After Surgical Repaired Partial Atrioventricular Septal Defect(Wiley, 2020) Duran Karaduman, Bilge; Torun, Ayse Nur; Ayhan, Huseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, EnginDouble-orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is an uncommon congenital anomaly account for 1% of congenital heart disease. However, accurate diagnosis and evaluation of valve stenosis or regurgitation and other concomitant congenital anomalies due to DOMV are required to obtain suitable treatment. Two- and three-dimensional echocardiography can contribute valuable functional and anatomic information that can support to reach this goal. Here, we present a case of complete bridge-type DOMV that causes mitral stenosis after surgical repair of the partial atrioventricular septal defect in childhood.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation Edwards Sapien XT in a direct flow valve after early degeneration(Wiley-hindawi, 2020) Duran Karaduman, Bilge; Ayhan, Huseyin; Bulguroglu, Serkan; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, EnginIn recent years, the use of bioprosthetic valve (BPV) has increased significantly with both surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) due to reasons such as the advantage of not using anticoagulants. Nevertheless, major disadvantage of all BPV is the risk of early structural valve deterioration, leading to valve dysfunction, and requires reoperation, which significantly increases the risk of mortality or major morbidity especially after SAVR. There are a limited number of TAV-in-TAV case reports due to TAVI BPV degeneration. In our knowledge, this is the second report of TAV-in-TAV implantation wherein a previously implanted transfemoral 25-mm nonmetallic Direct Flow SVD valve treated with ViV TAVI via Edwards Sapien XT.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 19The Triglyceride-Glucose Index Predicts Peripheral Artery Disease Complexity(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2020) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Hüseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, Engin; Duran Karaduman, BilgeBackground/aim: High levels of triglyceride (TG) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) values increase atherosclerosis risk. This study\revaluates the relationship between peripheral artery disease (PAD) severity and complexity, as assessed by TransAtlantic InterSociety\rConsensus-II (TASC-II) classification and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index.\rMaterials and methods: A total of 71 consecutive patients with PAD (males 93%, mean age 63.3 ± 9.7), who underwent percutaneous\rperipheral intervention were included retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to the angiographically\rdetected lesions. Those with TASC A-B lesions were included in Group 1, and those with TASC C-D lesions were included in Group 2.\rTyG index was calculated as formula: ln[fasting TG (mg/dL) × fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL)/2].\rResults: There were 40 patients in Group 1 (90.3% men, with a mean age of 63.6 ± 9.3 years) and 31 patients in Group 2 (96.8% men,\rwith a mean age of 62.0 ± 8.6 years). In the majority of patients in both groups, the target vessels are iliac arteries and femoral arteries.\rIn Group 2, platelet count and TyG index were significantly high, according to Group 1. The TyG index was significantly correlated with\rTASC-II, Rutherford category, HbA1c, and HDL-C.\rConclusion: In this present study, we showed that the TyG index was an independent predictor of peripheral artery disease complexity,\raccording to TASC-II classification, for the first time in the literature.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Association between monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and bicuspid\raortic valve degeneration(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2020) Karaduman, Bilge Duran; Ayhan, Hüseyin; Keles, Telat; Bozkurt, Engin; Duran Karaduman, BilgeBackground/aim: From a pathophysiological point of view, inflammation is thought to be more dominant in bicuspid aortic valve\r(BAV) stenosis than tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) stenosis. Our study aimed to determine the association between monocyte to highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR), a new inflammatory marker, and the speed of progression of stenosis and\rpathophysiology of BAV stenosis.\rMaterials and methods: A total of 210 severe aortic stenosis patients (70 consecutive BAV patients, 140 matched TAV patients) were\rretrospectively enrolled in the study. Clinical and echocardiographic data and laboratory results related to our research were collected\rretrospectively from the patients’ records. MHR was measured as the ratio of the absolute monocyte count to the HDL-C value.\rResults: Seventy BAV (mean age: 72.0 ± 9.1 years, 42.9% female) and 140 TAV patients (mean age: 77.9 ± 8.3 years, 51.4% female)\rwith severe aortic stenosis were enrolled in this study. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of another baseline\rdemographic or clinic findings except age (P < 0.001). Monocyte count, hemoglobin level, mean platelet volume was significantly\rhigher, and HDL-C level was significantly lower in the BAV group, while other lipid and CBC parameters were found to be similar. In\rthe multivariate analysis, MHR (P = 0.005, 95% CI: 0.90–0.98) and, as expected, age (P = 0.001, 95% CI: 1.02–1.11) were found to be\rsignificant as the independent predictor of BAV, after adjusting for other risk factors.\rConclusion: Our study showed a significant correlation between increased MHR and BAV. MHR was determined as a significant\rindependent predictor for the speed of progression and diagnosis of severe BAV stenosis in multivariate analysis.
