P-119 * different measures to prevent atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing pulmonary resection for lung cancer: evidence from a comprehensive network meta-analysis of randomized and observational studies
Conclusions: Beta-blockers and flecainide are effective in reducing the incidence of postoperative AF in patients after pulmonary resections which is not the case with digoxin; data on remaining treatments are sparse and preclude drawing definite conclusions. Disclosure: No significant relationships.

Feasibility and safety of transfemoral implantation of Edwards SAPIEN XT prosthesis without balloon valvuloplasty in severe stenosis of native aortic valve
ConclusionsDirect implantation of Edwards SAPIEN XT without prior BV in selected cases is feasible and safe. The number of patients in whom this technique would be applicable, and their impact on reducing complications has to be determined. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Protecting the aged heart during cardiac surgery: Use of del Nido cardioplegia provides superior functional recovery in isolated hearts
Conclusions: Del Nido cardioplegia prevents spontaneous contractions during arrest, reduces troponin release, and results in superior myocardial function in isolated aged hearts. Del Nido cardioplegia has the potential to provide superior myocardial protection for older patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Cardiac Surgical Delivery of the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase Rescues Myocytes in Ischemic Heart Failure.
CONCLUSIONS: MCARD-mediated SERCA2a delivery results in robust cardiac specific gene expression, improved contractility, and a decrease in both myocyte apoptosis and myocyte hypertrophy. PMID: 23773730 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Use of annulus washer after debridement: A new mitral valve replacement technique for patients with severe mitral annular calcification
We describe our experience with an intermediate approach that involves limited debridement of the calcified annulus, allowing implantation of a good-sized prosthesis using a felt washer, sandwiched between the annulus and prosthesis, as a support.
