While seasonal patterns suggest cold weather influences the incidence of acute type A aortic dissection, the impact of subjective thermal stress on dissection risk remains poorly characterized. This retrospective multicenter study examined environmental triggers of acute type A aortic dissection in 548 German patients between 1996 and 2016.

In this study, the authors evaluated the organ-protective efficacy of postoperative glucocorticoid in patients with type A aortic dissection. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either postoperative glucocorticoid or standard-of-care treatment. Intravenous methylprednisolone was administered for three days.

This article examines the critical role of proximal anastomosis in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), highlighting its impact on the risk of perioperative stroke. Key points include the importance of thorough preoperative assessments, particularly using CT scans to evaluate ascending aorta calcification, a known risk factor for stroke.

Aortic stenosis affects more than 9 million people worldwide and is commonly treated with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), which is known for producing excellent long-term outcomes. Recent advancements in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have shown noninferior or improved outcomes compared to SAVR across various risk levels.
