Researchers explore the use of a novel transcatheter electrosurgical technique, SESAME, for treating left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. This procedure, designed to mimic surgical myotomy, was tested on 76 patients between 2021 and 2023.

The utility of operating room extubation (ORE) after cardiac surgery over fast-track extubation (FTE) within 6 hours remains contested. The authors hypothesized ORE would be associated with equivalent rates of morbidity and mortality, relative to FTE. They found that ORE was associated with similar or improved outcomes compared to FTE.

Determining the appropriate prosthetic for mitral valve replacement is an ongoing area of study. This article looked at trends at a single center over a period of 20 years and compared the use of biologic (1,658 patients) and mechanical valves (369 patients).

In this paper, the authors completed a propensity matched retrospective observational study to compare long-term outcomes of isolated mechanical versus bioprosthetic mitral valves in different age groups. After propensity matching, analysis was completed in two age groups: < 65 and 65–75 years.
