#1818 Patient Outcomes after Cardiac Surgery for Carcinoid Heart Disease Are Dependant Upon Successful Cytoreductive Multimodal Treatment and Control of Metastatic Neuroendocrine Disease

Introduction: Carcinoid Heart Disease (CHD) as a result of long standing carcinoid syndrome is associated with a poor prognosis due to development of valvular incompetence & right heart failure. Cardiac valve surgery is the main therapeutic option.

#1272 Telotristat Etiprate Appears to Halt Carcinoid Heart Disease

Introduction: Carcinoid Heart Disease (CHD) is a serious complication of the Carcinoid Syndrome (in as many as 50% of patients during the course of their disease). 46% of cases operated with bioprosthetic valves develop recurrent carcinoid valvulopathy on the newly implanted tissue valves. Until now, only mechanical prosthetic valves avoid recurrent fibrosis.
