Artificial intelligence is increasingly being embedded into clinical research workflows, covering aspects from data processing and modeling to manuscript drafting. While the human role remains essential—particularly in hypothesis formulation, clinical interpretation and ethical oversight—it is...
The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the pooled mortality, morbidity, and reoperation rates after common arterial trunk primary repair. Among 319 articles retrieved, 43 studies including...
The article aimed to assess the long-term survival outcomes following surgical repair in patients with type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and to evaluate the correlation with the preoperative German Registry...
The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes between surgical cut-down (SC) and the percutaneous (PC) approach. In the matched population, 15 out of 323 patients (4.6...
Overall, 4,365 patients were diagnosed and operated on for infective endocarditis (IE) from 2000 to 2021. Long-term survival was significantly higher among patients receiving a mechanical prosthesis than those receiving...
In the last decades, four different scores for the prediction of mortality following surgery for type A acute aortic dissection (TAAD) were proposed. Researchers aimed to validate these scores in...
