Consensus statement: Hemostasis trial outcomes in cardiac surgery/mechanical support
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed composite risk scores could impact design of upcoming clinical trials and enable comparability of future investigations. Harmonizing and disseminating global consensus definitions and management guidelines can also reduce patient heterogeneity that would confound standardized primary outcomes in future research.PMID:34826386 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.09.080

Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus repeat surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with a failed aortic bioprosthesis
CONCLUSIONS: ViV TAVI was associated with lower in-hospital mortality but higher 30-day and 6-month all-cause readmission. However, there was no difference in risk of in-hospital stroke, post-procedure pacemaker implantation, MACE, and mortality during 30-day and 6-month readmission compared with repeat SAVR, suggesting that ViV TAVI can be performed safely in carefully selected patients.PMID:34521614 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-21-00472

Medical malpractice in aortic valve and mitral valve replacement surgery in North America
CONCLUSIONS: In addition to excellent surgeon patient/family communication, administering surgical treatment in a timely manner, diagnosing and acting on concomitant medical conditions, and close patient monitoring may diminish medical malpractice litigation involving aortic and mitral valve replacement operations.PMID:34338496 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.21.11945-7
