Decision-Making in Surgery
Ann Thorac Surg. 2024 Jan 17:S0003-4975(24)00010-9. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2024.01.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSurgeons face unique challenges in perioperative decision-making and communication with patients and families. In cardiothoracic surgery, the stakes are high, life and death decisions must be made quickly, and surgeons often lack a longstanding relationship with patients and families prior to intervention. This review considers specific challenges in the preoperative period followed by those faced postoperatively. While preoperative deliberation and informed consent focus on reaching a decision between 2...

Midterm Outcomes After Aortic Valve Neocuspidization (Ozaki Procedure) in Adults
CONCLUSIONS: AVN can be safely performed for a variety of aortic valve diseases, with or without concomitant operations. AVN demonstrated similar midterm outcomes compared with SAVR with a bioprosthetic valve in the United States adult population.PMID:38216078 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.12.010 (Source: The Annals of Thoracic Surgery)

Sublobar Resection versus Lobectomy for Stage IA NSCLC - Takeaways from Modern Randomized Trials
Ann Thorac Surg. 2024 Jan 4:S0003-4975(24)00001-8. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.12.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSublobar resection for early stage non-small cell lung cancer has been an emerging topic of great interest to thoracic surgeons. However, data regarding the efficacy and safety of sublobar resection vs. lobectomy was lacking until now. Recently, three published randomized controlled trials (CALGB140503/Alliance, JCOG0802 and DRKS00004897) confirmed the non-inferiority of sublobar resection for early-stage NSCLC in carefully selected populations. This review aims to summarize and compare these three landma...
