Impact of Individual Income Level on Late Mortality After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a lower individual income level had an increased risk of the poorer long-term outcomes after CABG as compared with the highest individual income level quartile.PMID:35305990 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.02.055

Direct Axillary Artery Cannulation for Aortic Surgery: Lessons from Contemporary Experiences
CONCLUSIONS: Direct AX cannulation for thoracic aortic repair is safe and carries a low rate of vascular injury, especially in elective cases. Our direct cannulation technique, which includes not inserting a cannula deeper than 3 cm, seems to be safe in not occluding the vertebral artery.PMID:35292261 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.02.048

Endoscopic vs Open Vein Harvest in Drug-Eluting Stents or Bypass Surgery for Left Main Disease Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Ischemia-driven revascularization at 5 years was higher in the EVH group. EVH and OVH patients had similar rates of graft stenosis or occlusion, and composite of death, stroke, or MI at 5 years.PMID:35283098 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.12.079

Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Novel Cor-Knot Lasso Technique Ensures Complete and Safe Ligation
Ann Thorac Surg. 2022 Feb 18:S0003-4975(22)00202-8. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.01.046. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe significance of the left atrial appendage (LAA) has been well known for a half-century. Surgeons used multiple LAA closure techniques to reduce the risk of stroke without increasing the chance of bleeding from fragile LAA. Removal and oversewing are simple and effective. However, current procedures have the disadvantage of 30-40% residual appendage. Here we discuss our innovative lasso technique using a Cor-Knot device for LAA closure in fifty consecutive patients between January 2018 to January 2019...

Advancing Quality Metrics for Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implant: Analysis of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons' Intermacs Database
CONCLUSIONS: This study is among the first to report substantial interhospital variability in performance for hospitals implanting durable LVADs. These findings support the need to: (1) report hospital-level performance (mortality, composite); and (2) undertake benchmarking activities to reduce unwarranted variability in outcomes.PMID:35176258 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.01.031

Changes in Controllable Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Practice for White and Black Americans
CONCLUSIONS: CABG metrics of LIMA utilization and optimal medical therapy have improved over time and are similar despite patient race. Black Americans experience less frequent multi-arterial grafting and greater discharge beta-blocker prescription. Identifying changes in controllable CABG quality practices across races supports a continued focus on standardizing such efforts.PMID:35093386 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.11.074

Five-year Outcomes of the COMMENCE Trial Investigating Aortic Valve Replacement with RESILIA Tissue
CONCLUSIONS: The safety and hemodynamic performance of this aortic bioprosthesis with RESILIA tissue through 5 years are encouraging, with clinically stable hemodynamics, minimal regurgitation, and no evidence of structural valve deterioration.PMID:35065065 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.12.058

Outcomes of Surgical Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients ≤65 and & gt;65 Years of Age
CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this analysis demonstrate satisfactory safety, hemodynamic performance, and durability of the Avalus bioprosthesis through 5-year follow-up in patients ≤65 and >65 years of age.PMID:35065064 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.12.057

Twelfth Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support Report: Readmissions after LVAD
Ann Thorac Surg. 2022 Jan 7:S0003-4975(22)00007-8. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.12.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe twelfth annual report from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (Intermacs) highlights outcomes for 26,688 continuous-flow LVAD patients over the past decade (2011-2020). In 2020, we observed the largest drop in yearly LVAD implant volumes since the registry's inception, which reflects the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiac surgical volumes in the United States. The 2018 heart transplant allocation policy change in the U.S. ...
