Valve-sparing aortic root replacement: Long-term variables significantly associated with mortality and morbidity
In aortic root surgery, valve-sparing aortic root replacement is an attractive alternative by mitigating the risks inherent to prosthetic valves; however, little is known about the variables that impact its durability. We review our mid- to long-term outcomes after valve-sparing aortic root replacement and  describe factors that impact survival and valve reintervention and insufficiency.

Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement: long-term variables significantly associated with mortality and morbidity
In aortic root surgery, Valve Sparing Aortic Root Replacement (VSARR) is an attractive alternative by mitigating the risks inherent to prosthetic valves, however little is known about the variables that impact its durability. We review our mid to long-term outcomes following VSARR and describe factors that impact survival and valve reintervention and insufficiency.

Risk factors and early outcomes of repeat sternotomy in 1960 adults with congenital heart disease: A 30-year, single-center study
Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) increasingly live into adulthood, often requiring cardiac reoperation. We aimed to assess the outcomes of adults with CHD (ACHD) undergoing repeat sternotomy at our institution. (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Therapeutic potential of human induced pluripotent stem cell –derived cardiac tissue in an ischemic model with unloaded condition mimicking left ventricular assist device
This study aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiac tissues (HiCTs) in the emerging approach of bridge to recovery for severe heart failure with ventricular assist devices. We used a rat model of heterotopic heart transplantation (HTx) to mimic ventricular assist device support and heart unloading. (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Analyzing the impact of the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on initial oncologic presentation and treatment of non –small cell lung cancer in the United States
A significantly lower rate of non –small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) screening, greater healthcare avoidance, and changes to oncologic recommendations were some consequences of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affecting the medical environment. We sought to determine how the healthcare environment during the COVID-19 pandemic affected the oncologic treatment of patients diagnosed with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
