Meta-analysis of 119 studies (approx 38,000 patients) evaluating outcomes of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery with conventional sternotomy approach.MMVS was associated with fewer days in hospital (RCT: MD: -2.2 days, 95% CI, [-3.7 to -0.8];...
Retrospective review (propensity-matched) comparing patients undergoing PCI vs minimally invasive CABG for complex LAD lesions.Overall 9-year survival was not significantly different between patient groups both before and after propensity matching....
The study evaluates early outcomes of patients undergoing a Bentall procedure after previous cardiac surgery.Included 473 patients with previous composite valve graft at a single institution: composite valve graft with...
The authors review existing literature and propose recommendations to improve physical preparedness for surgery both in and outside the operating room. Cardiothoracic surgeons suffer from MSK pain, most commonly in...
A good discussion on the concepts of: 1. aortic true lumen and false lumen behavior after repair of acute Type A aortic dissection2. distal anastomotic new entry tear after hemiarch...
The authors included type A aortic dissection patients from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection, who were managed surgically. Their aim was to evaluate the incidence and prognosis of...
The authors provide tips and tricks on ten most important considerations for multi-arterial grafting.
...The authors created 612 matched pairs of patients with a history of hematologic malignancy and controls. They compared operative details, early postoperative complications, and late survival. Patients with prior diagnosis...
The authors comducted a comparative analysis of the Trifecta and Perimount Magna Ease bioprosthetic valves, using data from a national Finnish database between 2008 and 2017. They included 2216 patients,...
David et al. examined the durability of mitral repair using using chordal replacement with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sutures to correct leaflet prolapse.They evaluated 186 patients who underwent isolated chordal replacement, and...
The study compared long-term results of loop neochord replacement with leaflet resection techniques in 2134 patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve repair.They demonstrated a significant reduction in early mitral regurgitation...
Aneurysmal ascending aortas were collected from elective aortic surgery, and normal aortas from transplant donors, and dissected aortas from surgery for aortic dissection. These aortas underwent delamination testing in simulation...
Meta-analysis of 4 RCTs and 7 observational studies.Observational studies suggest suggests a benefit of IV iron compared to no iron on mortality [relative risk 0.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.23–0.65;...
