Probabilistic Prediction of Gastrointestinal Ischemia after Cardiothoracic Surgery
Conclusion In patients receiving intensive care after cardiothoracic surgery, GIisch cannot be ruled out based solely on CTA findings. A scoring system combining CTA findings with other variables may improve the diagnosis of GIisch in this population.

Temporal Analysis in Outcomes of Long-Term Mechanical Circulatory Support: Retrospective Study
CONCLUSION: Despite the higher risk profile of the patients and persistent challenges, during the second period, there was a significant decrease in mortality and morbidity. The use of the HeartMate 3 device may have contributed to this result.PMID:38641334 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1782600 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

Impact of Modified Frailty Index on Readmissions Following Surgery for NSCLC
Conclusion The 11-item modified frailty index is a reliable predictor of readmissions following pulmonary resection in NSCLC patients. Furthermore, it is significantly associated with both survival and postoperative complications.

Isolated or Combined Ascending Aortic Replacement through a Partial Sternotomy: Early and Midterm Outcomes
CONCLUSION: The surgical ascending aorta replacement through a partial sternotomy is associated with longer operative times, but this does not affect the early as well as the long-term follow-up.PMID:38626901 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1782186 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

Partial versus Complete Sternotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement-Multicenter Study
CONCLUSION: In a large, German multicenter cohort, MACCE rates were comparable in surgical aortic valve replacement through partial upper and complete sternotomies. Shorter ICU stay and lower rates of Dressler's syndrome and rehospitalization were in favor of the partial sternotomy group.PMID:38626902 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1782685 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

Managing One-Lung Ventilation in Tracheostomized Patients: A 6-Year Retrospective Analysis
CONCLUSION: The management of one-lung ventilation in tracheotomized patients presents unique challenges. While double-lumen tracheostomy tubes have specific advantages, we recommend considering their use carefully. For most tracheotomized patients, bronchial blockers in conjunction with a tracheostomy tube are used, which offers safety and practicality, irrespective of the tracheostomy's age or type. Further research and randomized controlled trials are warranted to establish best practices for one-lung ventilation in this unique patient population.PMID:38626903 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1782684 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

Computed Tomography-Based Body Composition is Related to Perioperative Morbidity in Older Lung Transplant Recipients
CONCLUSION: Body composition parameters determined in pretransplant chest CT scans in older LTx candidates might aid in identifying high-risk patients with a worse perioperative outcome after LTx.PMID:38626904 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1782683 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)
