Ascending-to-Descending Aoritc Bypass: A Simple Solution to a Complex Problem.
CONCLUSIONS: The ascending-to-descending aortic bypass can be performed with low morbidity and mortality. It is an effective solution to complex aortic coarctation and represents a safe single-stage approach for patients with concomitant cardiac pathology.

Complications of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock and Cardiac Arrest: A Meta-Analysis of 1,866 Adult Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Although ECMO can improve survival of patients with advanced heart disease, there is significant associated morbidity with performance of this intervention. These findings should be incorporated in the risk-benefit analysis when initiation of ECMO for cardiogenic shock is being considered. PMID: 24210621 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Morbidity But Not Mortality Is Decreased After Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Off-pump CABG was associated with less morbidity, shorter length of stay, and similar mortality compared with on-pump procedures, suggesting that it can be a safe and effective alternative to standard on-pump CABG. However, the limited use of off-pump CABG in this multicenter analysis may restrict the generalizability of these results, and realistically defines the limited degree of acceptance of this technique in a real-world environment.

Transapical Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients With Previous Cardiac Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation has simplified surgical treatment of high-risk patients with previous cardiac surgery and severe aortic valve stenosis and is associated with minimal risk of stroke. Furthermore, current data suggest that the presence of previous cardiac surgery does not impair outcomes after transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation, making this subset of patients particularly applicable for this evolving approach.

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: Influence of Aortic Clamping Technique on Early Outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can be performed successfully using either the endoaortic balloon technique or the transthoracic clamp approach. However, the transthoracic technique results in shorter operation time, less perioperative bleeding and better myocardial protection. PMID: 24035304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome of Pericardiectomy for Constrictive Pericarditis in Japan: A Nationwide Outcome Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Pericardiectomy is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Careful consideration should be given to these risk factors in the process of patient selection and perioperative management. PMID: 23791164 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
