The clinical problem addressed in this study is bleeding in patients who undergo ECMO. The authors endeavor to address the issue through a quantitative cohort study by reflecting on how to target the behavior of...
This week on The Beat, CTSNet Editor-in-Chief Joel Dunning spoke with Timur Kyashif, a cardiac resident at Jena University Hospital in Jena, Germany, about the German Society for Thoracic, Cardiac,...
Cardiac surgeons increasingly exclude the left atrial appendage during operations in patients who have never had atrial fibrillation, often because the appendage is accessible and presumed expendable. This Europace Viewpoint...

Professor Pinto raises, in this editorial, a number of important points with regards to heart failure. Starting from a succinct definition of classification by ejection fraction, proceeds to analyse the...
Excellent and brief summary of the debate on functional mitral regurgitation on mechanical support.
...A robust RCT that denies association of nuclear CT-defined myocardial viability and long-term benefit from surgical coronary revascularisation. It is worth following the discussion this manuscript is certain to generate..
...The translational value for cardiac transplantation of this prospective multi-centre clinical study of vasodilation in amyloidosis remains to be evaluated.
...IntroductionA 56-year-old man status post repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm after type B aortic dissection presented with acute type A dissection. The patient had a long history of...
Using period hypercapnea as a surrogate “contrast” agent, myocardial oxygenation was assessed using cardiac MR and accurately mapped areas of relative ischemia.
...An interesting metanalysis, especially: The ad hoc results of off-pump surgery. The mean number of silent brain infarcts per patient was significantly higher in the transcatheter aortic valve implantation group...
The authors prospectively analyzed right ventricular (RV) function in 109 patients undergoing a broad range of cardiac surgeries. RV function was assessed at several time points by evaluating TAPSE and...
A robust meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on stem cell therapies for refractory angina, offering some encouragement.
