Impact of Extremes of BMI on Outcomes following Lung Resection
Conclusion Low BMI is associated with significantly worse postoperative outcomes and an approximate fourfold increase in mortality. In our cohort, obesity is associated with reduced morbidity and mortality following lung resection surgery, confirming the existence of the obesity paradox.

Reverse-U Aortotomy (K ırali Incision) for Aortic Valvular Interventions
Conclusion This new aortotomy incision technique is a safe procedure that provides good exposure for all kinds of aortic valve interventions and protects grafts and can facilitate aortic root enlargement or aortoplasty easily. This incision has the potential to be an alternative to traditional techniques.

Meta-analysis: Bilateral and Unilateral Cerebral Perfusion in Type A Dissection
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis suggests that BCP and UCP yield comparable outcomes. However, BCP may be associated with lower short-term mortality rates and reduced incidence of neurological complications, particularly in cases requiring total arch replacement. BCP should be considered as a preferred cerebral perfusion in specific patient populations.PMID:38290540 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1779263 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

Trilateral versus Bilateral Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion in Frozen Elephant Trunk: A Propensity Score Analysis
Conclusion In patients undergoing total aortic arch repair using FET technique, both perfusion strategies (bilateral and trilateral ACP) are safe and effective. The rates of neurological complications as well as mortalities are acceptably low in both groups. Further studies with larger patient cohorts are warranted.

Impact of Myocardial Viability on Long-term Outcomes after Surgical Revascularization
Conclusion The number of myocardial segments with transmurality of LGE >75% might be a prognostic factor associated with the composite of all-cause mortality or hospitalization for congestive heart failure after CABG in patients with 3-vessel disease and ICMP.

Natural sequential collapse method: a common technique to identify the intersegmental plane
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2024 Jan 16. doi: 10.1055/a-2246-3927. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe natural sequential collapse method (NSCM) can be employed during surgery to reduce the duration of segmentectomy. This method avoids inflating the lung by rapidly blocking vessels within the tumor watershed. It is important to note that the color of the lungs should be used to determine the surgical procedure. The NSCM is efficient and straightforward in revealing the intersegmental plane.PMID:38228163 | DOI:10.1055/a-2246-3927 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

Sex Differences in the Histopathology of Acute Type A Aortic Dissections
CONCLUSION: All ATAAD patients had a significantly thinner tunica intima and significantly diseased tunica media compared to the control patients. Our results suggest that the severity of medial aortic pathology is not sex specific in ATAAD patients. Intimal differences between females and males could, however, be considered a potential risk factor for the development of an aortic dissection.PMID:38181821 | DOI:10.1055/a-2239-1741 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

Comparison between Off-Pump and On-Pump Beating Heart Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
CONCLUSION: ONBHCAB may be a comparable alternative to OPCAB with similar early and late outcomes, despite higher elevation of postoperative cardiac biomarkers. ONBHCAB provides more efficient hemodynamic support, providing a better surgical visual field, than OPCAB while reducing the risk of incomplete revascularization.PMID:38181822 | DOI:10.1055/a-2239-1810 (Source: The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon)

CONCLUSIONS: All ATAAD patients had a significantly thinner intimal layer and significantly diseased middle media compared to the control patients.
