Reply: The importance of early intervention for ischemia after coronary artery bypass grafting
We thank Heuts and Vriesendorp1 for their comments on our article.2 Indeed our study does have a lower incidence of postoperative ischemia compared with other reports in the literature. Furthermore, the low incidence in our study does pose an inherent risk for type II error. However, our study focuses on those who underwent postoperative cardiac catheterization after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting in a multicenter regional collaborative consisting of 17 centers. It represents a real-world experience across a diversity of practice patterns. (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Interpretable Machine Learning-Based Predictive Modeling of Patient Outcomes Following Cardiac Surgery
The clinical applicability of machine learning predictions of patient outcomes following cardiac surgery remains unclear. We applied machine learning to predict patient outcomes associated with high morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery and identified the importance of variables to the derived model ’s performance.

Reply from the authors: A need for randomized prospective trial for early aortic valve repair in asymptomatic aortic regurgitation
We sincerely appreciate the interest and positive feedback by the authors of the recent letter by Jasinski and Nienaber1 on our paper.2 Indeed, we clearly acknowledge the inherent limitations associated with retrospective data analysis in registries like the AVIATOR database. It is also essential to recognize that, up to this point, most of the data pertaining to outcomes in aortic regurgitation and various other valve diseases have primarily been derived from such retrospective registries. Consequently, we agree with the authors that there exists a pressing need for validation through well-structured randomized multicente...

Machine Learning and Decision Making in Aortic Arch Repair
Decision making during aortic arch surgery regarding cannulation strategy and nadir temperature are important in reducing risk, though there is a need to determine the best individualized strategy in a data driven fashion. Using machine learning (ML), we modelled the risk of death or stroke in elective aortic arch surgery based upon patient characteristics and intraoperative decisions.

Outcomes of aortic valve repair in children stratified by complexity: Which outcome for which lesion?
Aortic valvuloplasty frequency has significantly increased over the past 15 years. Surgical repair varies in complexity depending on valvular lesions. The aim is to report results on the whole spectrum of aortic valvuloplasty techniques. (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Preoperative predictors of spread through air spaces in lung cancer
Spread through air spaces (STAS) is a new histologic feature of invasion of non –small cell lung cancer that lacks sensitivity and specificity on frozen sections and is associated with higher recurrence and worse survival with sublobar resections. Our objective is to identify preoperative characteristics that are predictive of STAS to guide operative decisions. (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)
