Aortic Remodeling After Endovascular Repair of Complicated Acute Type B Aortic  Dissection.
CONCLUSIONS: TEVAR for complicated aTBAD results in low 30-day and 1-year mortality rates, with higher reintervention rates than observed with open operations. TEVAR is effective in thrombosing and stabilizing the size of the thoracic FL. The abdominal aortic FL remains patent and must be carefully scrutinized for long-term aneurysm formation.

Clinical Outcomes of the David V Valve-Sparing Root Replacement Compared With Bioprosthetic Valve-Conduits for Aortic Root Aneurysms.
CONCLUSIONS: VSRR and BIO result in equivalent operative mortality and morbidity with similar midterm survival and valve durability. VSRR is an effective alternative to BIO for aortic root pathologic conditions; however, careful patient selection is paramount. PMID: 27964919 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes of Dialysis-Dependent Patients After Cardiac Operations in a Single-Center Experience of 483 Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with DD CRF undergoing cardiac operations have high perioperative and medium-term mortality, particularly in the presence of combined aortic and mitral valve pathologic conditions, active endocarditis, and poor left ventricular function.

Transesophageal Echocardiography Complications in Adult Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: The overall incidence of TEE complications after cardiac surgery was 1.4%. Advanced age, low body mass index, complexity of procedure, prior stroke, prolonged bypass time, and return to the operating room appear to be significant risk factors for TEE complications.

Prolonged Cross-Clamping During Aortic Valve Replacement Is an Independent Predictor of Postoperative Morbidity and Mortality: Analysis of the Japan Cardiovascular Surgery Database.
CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged ACCD offers an independent predictor of postoperative morbidity and mortality after isolated AVR for AS despite recent technologic advances and surgical refinements. PMID: 27624296 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Anterior Leaflet Augmentation With CorMatrix Porcine Extracellular Matrix in Twenty-Five Patients: Unexpected Patch Failures and Histologic Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: For type III MR, a large anterior leaflet patch technique with porcine ECM was associated with a 32% recurrence rate of severe MR related directly to patch failure. Further research and development should be performed on the use of ECM materials with a goal to decrease the failure rate experienced in this study. PMID: 27623276 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of the Performance of a Sutureless Bioprosthesis With Two Pericardial Stented Valves on Small Annuli: An In  Vitro Study.
CONCLUSIONS: All of the valves tested provided good fluid dynamic performances. The sutureless bioprosthesis provided the best performance with the least hindrance to flow behavior. From the hydrodynamic perspective, the sutureless prosthesis may present an advance in the evolution of bioprostheses, ensuring low gradients and potential for low incidence of patient-prosthesis mismatch even in small annuli.

Reoperative Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement Versus Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Replacement for Degenerated Bioprosthetic Aortic Valves.
CONCLUSIONS: For degenerated bioprosthetic aortic valves, TViV has similar operative mortality, strokes rates, and survival as SAVR in this high-risk cohort. Therefore, TViV is a viable alternative to SAVR, although studies using registry data are needed to establish noninferiority. PMID: 27526654 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Right Minithoracotomy for Mitral Valve Surgery: Impact of Tailored Strategies on Early Outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: Right minithoracotomy MVS can routinely be performed with favorable outcomes in all comers when perfusion strategies and clamping techniques are carefully selected after proper evaluation of the patient's preoperative characteristics. PMID: 27435516 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Scimitar Syndrome Repair in Adults: Intermediate-Term Results Using an Extracardiac Conduit.
CONCLUSIONS: Correction of scimitar syndrome with an extracardiac conduit can be easily and safely performed in adults, with excellent intermediate-term durability, without graft thrombi or stenosis. This technique avoids deep hypothermic circulatory arrest when the SV is short or enters the IVC in an unusually caudad location. PMID: 27424466 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Failure to Rescue Rates After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: An Analysis From The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database.
CONCLUSIONS: CABG mortality rates vary directly with FTR, but complication rates have little relation to death. FTR rates derived from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons data can serve as national benchmarks. Predicted FTR rates may facilitate patient counseling, and FTR O/E ratios have promise as valuable quality metrics. PMID: 27344280 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aortic Valve Replacement in the Moderately Elevated Risk Patient: A Population-Based Analysis of Outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: This population-based contemporary assessment suggests moderate-risk patients undergoing AVR experience favorable outcomes. Although increasing PROM is important in preoperative evaluation of risk, preexisting pulmonary hypertension and indication for operation are among other factors that should be considered as TAVR expands into this group of patients.

Branched Endovascular Therapy of the Distal Aortic Arch: Preliminary Results of the Feasibility Multicenter Trial of the Gore Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis.
CONCLUSIONS: Total endovascular repair of distal zone 2 arch aortic aneurysms can be achieved with a novel branched arch endograft. Future studies will evaluate the feasibility of this approach for aneurysms encompassing the brachiocephalic trunk and left carotid artery. PMID: 27262912 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes on Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices: A Single Institutional 9-Year Experience.
CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate excellent survival for BTT and DT patients on long-term LVAD support. However, for LVAD therapy to become a plausible alternative to heart transplantation, we need to further decrease the incidence of postoperative complications.

Moderate Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation After Posterolateral Myocardial Infarction in Sheep Alters Left Ventricular Shear but Not Normal Strain in the Infarct and Infarct Borderzone.
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate CIMR alters radial circumferential shear strain after posterolateral MI in sheep. Further studies are needed to determine the effect of shear strain on myocyte hypertrophy and the effect of mitral repair on myocardial strain. PMID: 26857634 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
