Mashup Score: 3Hemiarch versus Extended Arch Repair for Acute Type A Dissection: Results from a Multicenter National Registry - 12 month(s) ago
We compared perioperative outcomes of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection (ATAD) patients undergoing hemiarch (HA) versus extended arch (EA) repair with or without descending aortic intervention.929 patients underwent ATAD repair (2002 – 2021, 9 centers) including open distal repair (HA) with or without additional EA repair. EA with intervention on the descending aorta (EAD) included: elephant trunk,…

Mashup Score: 1Commentary: Missing the trees for the forest: Transcatheter versus surgical approaches to secondary mitral regurgitation - 12 month(s) ago
The optimal treatment of secondary mitral regurgitation (MR) remains controversial in the era of transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVr). Patients with severe secondary MR are undoubtedly a challenging population. Perhaps 20% or more of patients with chronic heart failure have MR, which increases their risk of death by at least 2-fold.1 Surgery, specifically chordal-sparing mitral valve…

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) remains a common complication following cardiac surgery, especially if prophylactic treatment with amiodarone or beta-blockers was not used. There are several challenges in reducing the incidence of POAF effectively. This is largely due to the significant variabilities between surgeons’ practices even within the same institution. Willekes and colleagues1…

Mashup Score: 1
The durability of mitral valve repair (MVr) is usually defined by the absence of recurrent significant mitral regurgitation. Postrepair mitral stenosis (MS) is a less frequent and less studied mode of failure of MVr. We analyzed our experience in patients who underwent reoperation for postrepair MS to characterize mechanisms resulting in MS and to summarize reoperative surgical strategies and…

Mashup Score: 2Coronary surgery provides better survival than drug eluting stent: a pooled meta-analysis of Kaplan–Meier-derived individual patient data - 1 year(s) ago
we explored the current evidence on coronary disease treatment comparing the survival of two therapeutic strategies: coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug eluting stent (DES).

Mashup Score: 1Early Trifecta valve failure: Report of a cluster of cases from a tertiary care referral center - 1 year(s) ago
The Trifecta valve (St Jude Medical, Inc, St Paul, Minn) was approved for commercial use by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2011. Several isolated cases have been reported since then, describing early structural valve deterioration. We report a case series of 8 Trifecta valve failures, describing patients’ clinical substrate and management, and the pathologic characteristics of the…

Mashup Score: 3Differences among sexes in presentation and outcomes in acute type A aortic dissection repair - 1 year(s) ago
Female sex is a known risk factor in most cardiac surgery, including coronary and valve surgery, but unknown in acute type A aortic dissection repair.

Relative rates of early graft failure and conduit selection in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery remain controversial. Therefore, we sought to determine the incidence and determinants of graft failure of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA), radial artery, saphenous vein, and right internal mammary artery (RIMA) 1 year after CABG surgery.
