CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning speaks with Drs. Michael Mack and Tom Nguyen about the proposed US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services changes to how cardiologists and cardiac surgeons interact during transcatheter aortic valve replacement...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with CTSNet Senior Editor—Global Emily Farkas, Associate Director of Global Health in Surgery at the Indiana University School of Medicine,...
The authors present a 75-year-old woman with dyspnea on exertion. She was diagnosed with an aortic valve stenosis and moderate-to-severe mitral valve regurgitation due to a localized A2 prolapse. This...
This cardiac session features leading surgeon Mario Castillo-Sang presenting on intraoperative pearls and pitfalls at the International Society for Minimally Invasive Cardiothoracic Surgery Annual Scientific Meeting 2026. CTSNet Senior Editor—Cardiac...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Dr. Aamir Amin, a cardiothoracic surgery resident at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, UK, about humanoid robots and artificial...
The Evolut Low Risk trial demonstrated that transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was noninferior to surgery for the primary endpoint of all-cause mortality or disabling stroke at two years. In...
This study compared the perioperative and longitudinal risk-adjusted outcomes of patients aged 65 and older with severe aortic stenosis and concomitant coronary artery disease undergoing either coronary artery bypass grafting...
This study evaluated the safety of low-dose warfarin (target INR 1.8) combined with daily aspirin (75 100 mg) after On-X mechanical aortic valve implantation. The results showed that the composite...
This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of the Ross procedure in neonates and infants with aortic valve pathology demonstrating good post-discharge survival and minimal need for reintervention. Neoaortic dilatation initially...
This study evaluated long-term outcomes of bioprosthetic and mechanical aortic valve replacement (AVR) using data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS-ACSD). It focused on patients...
The authors evaluated the five-year outcomes in low-risk patients undergoing isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or SAVR with concomitant procedures within the randomized PARTNER 3 trial. In the PARTNER...
This study compared isolated primary bioprosthetic surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with isolated redo surgical aortic valve replacement (rSAVR) due to structural valve deterioration (SVD). The study used clinical data...
In this article, the authors aimed to assess whether post-implant transcatheter aortic valve prosthesis multi-detector computed characteristics differ between patients with native tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valve stenosis, as well...
