Obesity associated with improved mortality of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe COVID-19 pneumonia
CONCLUSIONS: In patients receiving ECMO for severe COVID-19, neither obesity (BMI >30) nor morbid obesity (BMI >40) were associated with in-hospital mortality. These results are consistent with previous reports and held true after adjusting for age and comorbidities. Our data suggest further examination of the recommendations to withhold ECMO in patients who are obese.PMID:37229525 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231178896

Center-Level Variation in Failure to Rescue Following Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, center-level variations in mortality were more strongly explained by differences in FTR than complications. Our findings suggest the utility of FTR as a quality metric for congenital heart surgery, although further study is needed to develop a widely accepted definition and appropriate risk-adjustment models.PMID:37182822 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.05.001

Outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement at teaching versus nonteaching hospitals
ConclusionWith the evolution and expansion of TAVR to nonteaching centers, mortality, and readmission rates are not significantly different between nonteaching and teaching hospitals. Higher unadjusted in-hospital mortality at teaching centers suggest these centers more often treat high risk patients with associated increased complications.

Differences of mid-term outcomes in debranching thoracic endovascular aortic repair between zone 0 and zone 1 –2 landing
ConclusionsHigher mid-term mortality and stroke rates after Z0-TEVAR were confirmed by PS matching. Z0-TEVAR would be an alternative for high-risk patients with arch aneurysms requiring zone 0 landing but not a reliable method.

Triple-branched Stent Graft Implantation for Acute Non-A-non-B Aortic Dissection
CONCLUSIONS: TBSG implantation for acute non-A-non-B aortic dissection had a low incidence of mortality and morbidity, featuring good remodeling of the dissected aortic wall during follow-up. The early outcomes of this technique were satisfactory.PMID:34971594 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.11.059

Predictors of outcome after CABG in the South-Asian community: a propensity matched analysis
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the cumulative risk associated with ethnicity and renal disease in predicting short-term outcomes following CABG. This warrants further investigations in larger populations, thus guiding pre-operative risk-stratification.PMID:34365853 | DOI:10.1177/02676591211037577

STratification risk analysis in OPerative management (STOP score) for drug ‐induced endocarditis
CONCLUSIONDrug ‐related IE is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. An easily‐applied risk stratification score may aid in clinical decision‐making.

Outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID ‐19: The lessons learned from the first wave of COVID‐19
ConclusionsBased on our experience, ECMO can improve refractory ARDS due to COVID ‐19 in select patients. Proper control of bacterial infections during COVID‐19 immunomodulation therapy may be critical to improving survival.

Impact of postoperative complications after cardiac surgery on long ‐term survival
ConclusionsPostoperative complications after cardiac surgery significantly impact outcomes that extend beyond the postoperative period. Stroke, renal failure, and pneumonia are particularly associated with poor long ‐term survival.
