A Randomized Multicenter Trial of Minimally Invasive Rapid Deployment Versus Conventional Full Sternotomy Aortic Valve Replacement
Conclusions RDAVR by the MIS approach is associated with significantly reduced myocardial ischemic time and better valvular hemodynamic function than FS-AVR with a conventional stented bioprosthesis. Rapid deployment valves may facilitate the performance of MIS-AVR.

Coronary Artery Surgery Versus Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Octogenarians: Long-Term Results
Conclusions In this real-world setting, surgical coronary revascularization remains the standard of care for patients with left main or multivessel disease. The long-term outcomes of current percutaneous coronary intervention technology in octogenarians are yet to be determined with adequately powered prospective randomized studies.

Posterior Papillary Muscle Anchoring Affects Remote Myofiber Stress and Pump Function: Finite Element Analysis
Conclusions PPMA reduces remote myofiber stress, which is proportional to the absolute distance of relocation and independent of anchoring point. Aggressive use of PPMA techniques to reduce remote myofiber stress may accelerate reverse LV remodeling without impairing LV function.

Preoperative Anemia Does Not Increase the Risks of Early Surgical Revascularization After Myocardial Infarction ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions Preoperative anemia does not directly increase risks of surgical revascularization performed within 21 days of MI.

Optimized Local Infarct Restraint Improves Left Ventricular Function and Limits Remodeling ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions Optimized isolated infarct restraint can limit adverse LV remodeling after MI. The tested device affords the potential for a patient-specific therapy to preserve cardiac function after MI.
