Total aortic arch replacement using the Thoraflex Hybrid device: evolution from investigational to federally approved use in the United States Open
TAR is a complex procedure. Patients requiring such repair tend to have substantial disease that often eventually necessitates subsequent downstream aortic repair, especially when dissection is present. Using the Thoraflex Hybrid device in…

P-138 Effects of caffeine supplementation prior to fertilization on oocyte quality and euploidy rates in aged women Open
Study question Could caffeine supplementation before fertilization improve the clinical outcomes in women over 40? Summary answer Caffeine supplementation significantly improved the rates of oocytes with normal spindle location, top-qualit…

Obesity and outcomes after elective thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair Open
Patients with obesity undergoing TAAA repair differed from their counterparts without obesity regarding several factors. However, adjusted early outcomes after TAAA replacement did not differ by the presence or severity of obesity. We conc…

Risk Factors for Development of Stroke in Patients With Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Support as Destination Therapy Open
Background: Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used as destination therapy. Although postimplantation stroke rates have been described in the context of bridge-to-transplant or mixed cohorts, stroke de…

Predicting operative mortality in patients who undergo elective open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair Open
Using institutional data, we evaluated several models to predict operative mortality in elective TAAA repair, using information available to surgeons preoperatively. We then converted the best predictive model, the MLR model, into an intui…

18F-FDG PET/CT and radiolabeled leukocyte SPECT/CT imaging for the evaluation of cardiovascular infection in the multimodality context: ASNC Imaging Indications (ASNC I2) Series Expert Consensus Recommendations from ASNC, AATS, ACC, AHA, ASE, EANM, HRS, IDSA, SCCT, SNMMI, and STS Open
This document on cardiovascular infection, including infective endocarditis, is the first in the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology Imaging Indications (ASNC I2) series to assess the role of radionuclide imaging in the multimodality co…

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery: clinical practice review Open
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after cardiac surgery is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. Although current prediction models have limited efficacy, several perioperative interventions can reduce patients' risk of …

Distal Extent of Resection in Type A Dissection: Keeping It Simple Open
Type A aortic dissection is a surgical emergency that most cardiac surgeons working with adult patients must manage. Tertiary centers of excellence or aortic reference centers offer some relief to the general cardiac surgeon who may addres…
View article: Outcomes after bioprosthetic versus mechanical mitral valve replacement for infective endocarditis in the United States
Outcomes after bioprosthetic versus mechanical mitral valve replacement for infective endocarditis in the United States Open
Outcomes and readmission rates were similar for mechanical mitral valve replacement and bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement in infectious endocarditis, suggesting that valve choice should not be determined by endocarditis status. Additi…
View article: Incidence, Risk Score Performance, and In-Hospital Outcomes of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery
Incidence, Risk Score Performance, and In-Hospital Outcomes of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery Open
Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) frequently complicates cardiac surgery. Predicting POAF can guide interventions to prevent its onset. This study assessed the incidence, risk factors, and related adverse outcomes of POA…
