Survival After Myectomy for Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: What Causes Late Mortality?
ConclusionsThis study, using 2 independent sources to verify vital status and cause of mortality, confirms that survival after septal myectomy is excellent. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was identified as the primary cause of death in less than 20%, with mortality in most patients unrelated to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Surgical Treatment for Stand-Alone Atrial Fibrillation in North America
ConclusionsSteady growth of stand-alone SA operations was noted. Procedures performed either on-pump or off-pump were relatively safe. However, intraoperative conversion was associated with significantly higher morbidity and mortality. Patient selection, improvement of surgical techniques, and long-term follow-up should be emphasized to improve decision-making and outcome.

Epiaortic Ultrasound to Prevent Stroke in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
ConclusionsAvoiding aortic manipulation is associated with the lowest risk of stroke in patients undergoing CABG. When manipulation of the ascending aorta is planned, EAU is effective in guiding the surgical strategy to reduce the risk for embolic stroke in these patients.

Dissection of Arch Branches Alone an Indication for Aggressive Arch Management in Type A Dissection?
ConclusionsIn ATAAD, dissection of arch branches alone should not be an indication for routine zone 1/2/3 arch replacement; however, zone 1/2/3 arch replacement could be considered to prevent future reoperations in select patients.Graphical abstract

Impact of Aortic Atherosclerosis Burden on Outcomes of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement
ConclusionsModerate/severe aortic atherosclerosis was associated with an increased risk of adverse events following SAVR. Epiaortic ultrasound may serve as a useful adjunct for identifying patients who may benefit from strategies to reduce atheroembolic complications during SAVR.

Increased Glucose Variability Is Associated With Major Adverse Events After Coronary Artery Bypass
ConclusionsIncreased 24-hour, but not 12-hour, postoperative GV following CABG is a predictor of poor outcomes. Preoperative HbA1c is not associated with MAEs after adjusting for postoperative mean glucose and GV.Graphical abstract

Impact of Bleeding Revision on Outcomes After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
ConclusionsA bleeding revision is associated with significantly reduced survival and substantially increased morbidity during LVAD support. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative prophylactic strategies may help to prevent this life-threatening complication.

Physician-Modified Thoracic Stent Grafts for the Arch After Surgical Treatment of Type A Dissection
ConclusionsThe use of physician-modified thoracic stent grafts for the treatment of dissecting aortic arch aneurysm after surgical treatment of acute type A dissection is feasible and effective. Durability concerns will need to be assessed in future studies.Visual Abstract

Direct Cannulation in Minimally Invasive Cardiac surgery with limited resources
ConclusionsIn our experience, this approach is a reliable platform for a variety of MICS procedures and has resulted in low complication rates. The technique can be applied safely to both paediatric and adult population. Also, it is very cost effective as regular instruments and cannulas are used.

Long-term outcomes of stand-alone Maze IV for persistent/long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsThis study confirmed the safety and efficacy at long-term (7 years) of the stand-alone Maze IV surgical procedure for persistent/long-standing persistent AF. Indeed, more than 70% of the pts were in SR off class I/III AADs and off oral anticoagulation.Graphical abstract

Impact of Complications After Cardiac Surgery on One-Year Patient Reported Outcomes
ConclusionsWhile cardiac surgical patients have PRO scores similar to the general population, complications after cardiac surgery continue to negatively influence patient quality of life one-year after surgery. Using the NIH-PROMIS, prolonged ventilation and renal failure have the largest impact on one-year patient reported outcomes.

Transcatheter and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Recent Acute Heart Failure
ConclusionsRecent AHF is associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity after SAVR and TAVR. These findings suggest that AS patients should be referred for invasive treatment before the development of clinically evident heart failure.

Comparative Outcomes of Transcarotid and Trans-subclavian Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
ConclusionsThe transcarotid and the trans-subclavian approaches have similar safety and efficacy outcomes. The transcarotid approach had a shorter procedure duration and a trend towards lower fluoroscopy duration and radiation exposure.
