Mashup Score: 18Transcatheter vs Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Medicare Beneficiaries with Aortic Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease - 4 month(s) ago
As percutaneous therapeutic options expand, the optimal management of severe aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is being questioned between coronary artery bypass grafting and surgical aortic valve replacement (CABG+SAVR) versus percutaneous coronary intervention and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (PCI+TAVR). We sought to compare perioperative and longitudinal risk-adjusted outcomes between patients undergoing CABG+SAVR versus PCI+TAVR.

Mashup Score: 3Increased Risk of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement After Prior Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement with Concomitant Valve Disease - 4 month(s) ago
The etiology of increased risk for reoperation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus prior surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is poorly understood. This study evaluated the impact of concomitant mitral and tricuspid valve disease on associated risk of TAVR explant.

Mashup Score: 7Insurance-Based Disparities in Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy Following Heart Transplantation Are Mediated by Care at High Volume Centers - 4 month(s) ago
Socioeconomic disadvantage and Medicaid insurance have been linked with inferior survival following heart transplantation, yet the contributing mechanisms remain to be elucidated. We evaluated the association of Medicaid with the development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy(CAV).

Mashup Score: 13Lobectomy verses Sublobar Resection in The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database: Importance of Patient Factors and Lymph Node Evaluation - 4 month(s) ago
Prospective randomized trials have demonstrated noninferior survival between sublobar resection and lobectomy in healthy non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with tumors ≤2cm. However, some patient attributes are not well represented in randomized trials and uncertainty remains in the widespread applicability of randomized trial nodal dissection protocols.

Mashup Score: 26
In this month’s issue of The Annals, Wisniewski and associates1 have reported on the results of an observational study investigating the association between the timing of arrival to the intensive care unit (ICU) and outcomes after cardiac surgery.1 The group utilized data from the Virginia Cardiac Services Quality Initiative (VCSQI) and The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database involving patients undergoing elective, isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). According to their analysis, patients who experienced late arrival, defined as admission to the ICU between 06:00 pm and 06:00 am (8.4% of the overall cohort), had statistically higher predicted risk of morbidity and mortality, longer cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times, greater transfusion rates, and even higher likelihood of mechanical circulatory support (ie, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, intraaortic balloon pump) compared with early arrival counterparts.

Encourage all to read! While results are counter intuitive, it is a very important question about timing and quality outcomes in cardiac 🫀surgery cc: @annalsthorsurg @TheRakeshArora https://t.co/xGvnPVzt3j
