Identification of professional scuba divers with patent foramen ovale at risk for decompression illness
Domenico Cartoni,Stefano De Castro,Giuliana Valente,Corrado Costanzo,Antonio Pelliccia,Sergio Beni,Emanuele Di Angelantonio,Federica Papetti,Laura Vitali Serdoz,Francesco Fedele +9 more
TL;DR: Functional and anatomic characteristics of patent foramen ovale were investigated in 66 professional scuba divers using transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and a wider patency diameter together with a higher membrane mobility are associated with the risk of developing the disease in divers with PFO.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Transthoracic and Multiplane Transesophageal Echocardiography for Valvular Perforation in Acute Infective Endocarditis: Correlation with Anatomic Findings
Stefano De Castro,Domenico Cartoni,Giulia d'Amati,Sergio Beni,Jiefen Yao,Marco Fiorelli,Pietro Gallo,Francesco Fedele,Natesa G. Pandian +8 more
TL;DR: Compared with TEE, TTE has a low diagnostic sensitivity in the detection of this complication and, in the presence of hemodynamic instability, multiplane TEE should be performed directly.
Valvular perforation in left-sided infective endocarditis: A prospective echocardiographic evaluation and clinical outcome
Stefano De Castro,Giulia d'Amati,Domenico Cartoni,Mario Venditti,Giuseppina Magni,Pietro Gallo,Sergio Beni,Marco Fiorelli,Francesco Fedele,Natesa G. Pandian +9 more
TL;DR: Transesophageal echocardiography better defines this complication and predicts severe heart failure or the need for early surgical management and stepwise regression analysis confirmed aortic valve perforation as the only independent predictive variable for surgery and death.

Noninvasive Assessment of Mitoxantrone Cardiotoxicity in Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Stefano De Castro,Domenico Cartoni,Enrico Millefiorini,S Funaro,Claudio Gasperini,Stefania Morino,Demetrio Tallarico,Sergio Beni +7 more
TL;DR: Mitoxantrone treatment seems able to improve the clinical course of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients and it does not show any cardiac toxicity in selected patients at this dosage.

Stefano De Castro,Valeria Salandin,Domenico Cartoni,Carlo Valfrè,Loris Salvador,Giuseppina Magni,Rachele Adorisio,Federica Papetti,Sergio Beni,Francesco Fedele,Natesa G. Pandian +10 more
TL;DR: Three-dimensional echocardiography coupled with 2DE is feasible and accurate in delineating the extent and location of prolapsing scallops of the mitral valve.
