Yanagawa and colleagues review the current understanding of factors that predict the failure of aortic valve repair. They highlight factors that include unaddressed annular dilatation, residual cusp prolapse, commissural orientation,...
Beckers and colleagues evaluated toxicity and outcomes of regional chemotherapeutic treatment with isolated lung perfusion of melphalan combined with metastasectomy for patients with resectable pulmonary metastases. The prospective study included...
This narrated video highlights an aortic valve repair performed for a 47-year-old man who presented with severe, symptomatic aortic regurgitation on a quadricuspid valve. The repair was performed through a...
Aortic valve repair is complex, and techniques must be tailored to the pathology. With this in mind, the author summarizes his core philosophy on aortic valve repair in 10 points:...
Hamandi and colleagues reviewed outcomes for 95 patients who underwent isolated tricuspid valve (TV) surgery between 2007 and 2017 at their institution. For 41% of patients, the procedure was reoperative,...
Spread through air space (STAS) is a pattern of lung adenocarcinoma invasion, and it is a predictor of recurrence in patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. However, less is known about...
Bauser-Heaton and colleagues evaluated outcomes for patients with complex tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs), focusing on those patients who underwent unifocalization with placement...
Ng and colleagues reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2018 to compare lobectomy approaches of multiport, uniportal, and robotic video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and open lobectomy, with the aim of...
This keynote lecture highlights the need for a standardized prepump intraoperative echocardiology protocol in order to provide a surgeon and their team with a roadmap as to what techniques may...
Thoracic stentgrafts are stiffer than the aorta. To understand how this mismatch might affect the left ventricle, van Bakel and colleagues quantified the left ventricular remodeling after thoracic endovascular aortic...
Holm and colleagues evaluated perioperative bleeding after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients who were taking P2Y12 inhibitors. Patient outcomes from the European Multicenter Registry on Coronary Artery Bypass...
