Low-Risk Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in the Era of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Tex Heart Inst J. 2022 Jan 1;49(1):e207435. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-20-7435.ABSTRACTOpen surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a viable alternative to transcatheter implantation in low-risk patients. In this light, we evaluated the safety and effectiveness of SAVR performed through conventional and less invasive surgical approaches in a high-volume center. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 395 consecutive patients who underwent open SAVR from January 2019 through December 2019 in our center. We evaluated and compared the operative results and postoperative major adverse outcomes of 3 surgical approaches: full med...

Minimally invasive, surgical, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: MS was protective against 30-day mortality, stroke, AKI, and long-term mortality compared to FS; TAVR showed higher rates of 30-day PVL and PPM but was protective against AKI. Conversely, MT showed higher rates of 30-day PVL and major bleeding. With the emergence of TAVR, the appropriate benchmarks for SAVR comparison in future trials should be the minimally-invasive SAVR approaches to provide clinical equipoise.PMID:37611742 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.08.010

A 14-year experience with blunt thoracic aortic injury
Conclusions: The incidence of BTAT is low but the mortality associated with it is significant. During the 14-year period studied, there was a clear change in management preference from open repair to endovascular repair at our level 1 trauma center. Outcomes, including stroke, MI, renal failure, paralysis, length of stay, and death, appear to be reduced in the endovascular group.

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery Utilizing Heart Port Technology
ConclusionsOperative outcomes with minimally invasive mitral valve surgery utilizing port access technology can be performed safely. Stroke rate was higher in the reoperative cases (p = NS) although similar to reports evaluating redo sternotomy in mitral valve cases.

Intraoperative hypotensive resuscitation for patients undergoing laparotomy or thoracotomy for trauma: Early termination of a randomized prospective clinical trial
Conclusion: This study was unable to demonstrate that hypotensive resuscitation at a target MAP of 50 mm Hg could significantly improve 30-day mortality. Further study is necessary to fully realize the benefits of hypotensive resuscitation.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic study, level II.
