Reply: Outcomes of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair are dependent on the Crawford aneurysm extent and anatomical characteristics of the aorta
When it comes to open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs), success depends on the art of an individual surgeon's management in addition to the surgical techniques, operative skills, and perioperative critical care that are required to achieve good outcomes. Similar to other areas of aortic surgery, innumerable techniques and methodologies are available and different surgeons are able to achieve similarly good results with seemingly disparate management plans. However, it is important to delve into the details to identify opportunities for improvement. (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Gene delivery in a rodent lung transplant model
We read the article by Gao and colleagues1 with great interest and extend our congratulations for conducting this elegant study. It nicely highlights that the adeno-associated virus serotype 9-mediated gene delivery to the lung graft can be achieved during a short course of ex  vivo lung perfusion. Furthermore, we commend the clinical translational lung transplantation program, under the leadership of Dr Hartwig. We align with their overall enthusiasm on this matter.2 We would like to contribute to the discourse by introducing several points for discussion.

Ventricular assist device using a thoracotomy-based implant technique: Multi-Center Implantation of the HeartMate 3 in Subjects With Heart Failure Using Surgical Techniques Other Than Full Median Sternotomy (HM3 SWIFT)
The HeartMate 3 (Abbott) left ventricular assist device provides substantial improvement in long-term morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced heart failure. The Implantation of the HeartMate 3 in Subjects With Heart Failure Using Surgical Techniques Other Than Full Median Sternotomy study compares thoracotomy-based implantation clinical outcomes with standard median sternotomy.

Reply: Interpretation of subgroup analyses
In our propensity-matched analysis of women with multivessel coronary artery disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in New York State from 2012 to 2018, we found that women who underwent PCI had a greater risk of long-term (6-year) mortality when compared with CABG (15.75% vs 23.57%, adjusted hazard ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-1.45). We concluded that “For women with multivessel coronary artery disease, CABG is associated with lower six-year mortality, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization rates in comparison to PCI with everol...
