Repair of complete atrioventricular septal defect (cAVSD) is achieved with low mortality. However, there is a high rate of reoperation on the left atrioventricular valve (LAVV), which is often attributed to nonclosure of the cleft....
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be effective for refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with influenza, but its utility in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is uncertain....

An epidemic in the United States is Heart failure, and transplantation remains the most definitive therapy. We describe multidecade trends in posttransplant graft survival, adjusted for concurrent changes in the...
Segmentectomy is rising in popularity as a parenchyma-sparing alternative for anatomic lung resection. This study sought to investigate temporal changes in patient selection, case volume, and outcomes for segmentectomy using...
It is controversal whether extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) or extended pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) is the optimal resection for malignant pleural mesothelioma. We therefore compared perioperative outcomes and long-term survival of patients who...
The complexity of cancer treatment is rising. Thus, the role of multidisciplinary conferences (MDCs) in making diagnostic and treatment decisions has become critical. This study looked at the impact of...
In a brand new type of surgery, STS member Dr. Bartley P. Griffith and the University of Maryland Medicine team performed a successful transplant of a genetically modified pig heart...
Randomized evidence on the comparative outcomes of early-stage lung cancer resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) versus open resection is limited. Here was conducted a parallel-group multicenter randomized trial that...
The Japanese Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery, and Japanese Association for Coronary Artery Surgery recently issued a joint statement announcing that they disagree with recommendations in...
Recently, increased attention has been paid to the risk of chronic opioid use after surgery. In this nationwide cohort study, we examined the rate of new persistent opioid use after...
Socioeconomic and racial (SER) disparities among patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) can limit access to high-quality care. We characterized the national SER landscape and its relationship to early outcomes...
This study looks to comprehensively characterize details of aortic and aortic valve reinterventions after aortic root replacement (ARR).
