Long ‐term outcomes of patients undergoing mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that mechanical valves for ARRs may confer a survival benefit over bioprosthetic valves. Surgeon bias was likely to account for this survival advantage.

Temporal trends in incidence, patient characteristics, microbiology and in-hospital mortality in patients with infective endocarditis: a contemporary analysis of 86,469 cases between 2007 and 2019
ConclusionsIn this contemporary cohort, incidence of IE increased over time and in-hospital mortality remained high (~  15%). Whilestaphylococcus andstreptococcus were the predominant microorganisms, bacteremia withstaphylococcus and Gram-negative pathogens were associated with higher likelihood of in-hospital mortality. Our results highlight the need for new preventive strategies and interventions in patients with IE.Graphical abstractInfective endocarditis in Germany.BCNIE blood culture-negative infective endocarditis,IE infective endocarditis

Outcomes of Root Enlargement Versus Root Replacement for Aortic Stenosis
CONCLUSIONS: ARE and stentless xenograft ARR for aortic stenosis were associated with comparable postoperative complications, aortic valve reinterventions, freedom from readmission, and 5-year survival.PMID:36584836 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.12.027

Prosthesis Choice in Dialysis Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement
CONCLUSIONS: MVR in dialysis patients carries significant morbidity and increased mid-term mortality. Decreased life-expectancy should be considered in the tailoring of prosthesis choice to dialysis-dependent patients.PMID:37245789 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.05.015
