Impact of More Detailed Measures of Disease Severity on Racial Disparities in Cardiac Surgery Mortality among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Open
Studies that examine racial disparities in health outcomes often include analyses that account or adjust for baseline differences in co-morbid conditions. Often, these conditions are defined as dichotomous (Yes/No) variables, and few analy…

Valve-sparing operations after Ross procedure: a single-center experience Open
Long-term survival after redo surgery following the Ross operation is excellent. The data support our aggressive valve-sparing approach after Ross.

Functional and pathomorphological anatomy of the aortic valve and root for aortic valve sparing surgery in tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves Open
The aortic valve (AV) is a three-dimensional structure, with leaflets that are suspended within the functional aortic annulus (FAA). These structures (AV and FAA) are therefore intrinsically connected and disease of just one component can …

Three decades of reimplantation of the aortic valve—the Brussels Experience Open
Our long-term data supports our reimplantation approach as a viable option for aortic root aneurysms and/or aortic regurgitation, with long-term survival that mirrors that of the general population.

Aortic root replacement with the reimplantation technique for recurrent root aneurysm, 24 years after root replacement with the remodeling technique in a Marfan patient Open
Clinical vignette : A 36-year-old female with Marfan syndrome underwent aortic root replacement with the Yacoub (remodeling)-procedure for a root aneurysm at age 12. She returned 24 years later with recurrent severe aortic root dilation of…

Patient selection for aortic valve-sparing operations Open
INTRODUCTION : Valve-sparing (VS)-techniques were originally devised for aortic root aneurysms, without aortic regurgitation (AR). We realized that concurrent AR in the setting of normal leaflets can occur, and be remedied, by re-establish…

Penetrating cardiac injury: a narrative review Open
Penetrating cardiac trauma is life threatening and requires prompt workup and treatment. Trauma algorithms should continue to refine and be clear on which patients should undergo an emergency department (ED) thoracotomy, median sternotomy …

Unicuspid aortic valves are no bicuspid aortic valves—It's time to retire the Sievers‐classification Open
A general misconception that unicuspid aortic valves (UAV) are just a subtype of bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) has now been perpetuated in the medical and surgical community for nearly two decades, and there is no end in sight. [...]

Unicuspid aortic valves are no bicuspid aortic valves -- It's time to retire the Sievers-classification Open
A general misconception that unicuspid aortic valves (UAV) are just a subtype of bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) has now been perpetuated in the medical and surgical community for nearly two decades[1](#ref-0001), and there is no end in sight.
