Transatrial Cannulation of the Left Ventricle for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection: A 5-Year Experience
Conclusions In patients undergoing surgery for AAD, transatrial cannulation of the left ventricle proved to be a safe and easy cannulation method that significantly reduced postoperative complications.

Results of Open Surgical Repair in Patients With Marfan Syndrome and Distal Aortic Dissection
Conclusions In these patients with MFS with aortic dissection, open TAAA repair incurred reasonable operative risk, but improvements are needed to reduce rates of renal failure. Extent II TAAA repair does not appear to increase operative risk in patients with MFS.

Outcomes After Elective Proximal Aortic Replacement: A Matched Comparison of Isolated Versus Multicomponent Operations
Conclusions Elective ascending aortic replacement is safe and effective. Ascending aneurysms should be treated aggressively even when encountered in patients undergoing a multicomponent operation. An aggressive approach to replacement of the ascending aorta may be warranted given the increased risk of stroke during a subsequent reoperation.

Aortic Valve Replacement in the Moderately Elevated Risk Patient: A Population-Based Analysis of Outcomes
Conclusions This population-based contemporary assessment suggests moderate-risk patients undergoing AVR experience favorable outcomes. Although increasing PROM is important in preoperative evaluation of risk, preexisting pulmonary hypertension and indication for operation are among other factors that should be considered as TAVR expands into this group of patients.

Failure to Rescue Rates After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: An Analysis From The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database
Conclusions CABG mortality rates vary directly with FTR, but complication rates have little relation to death. FTR rates derived from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons data can serve as national benchmarks. Predicted FTR rates may facilitate patient counseling, and FTR O/E ratios have promise as valuable quality metrics.

Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in the United States: Trends and Propensity Matched Outcomes
Conclusions Contemporary utilization of SA is increasing across all operative categories. Performance of SA is accompanied by a 30-day reduction in mortality and stroke. These findings further refine our understanding of the role of SA in the treatment of AF.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons 2018 Adult Cardiac Surgery Risk Models: Part  1—Background, Design Considerations, and Model Development
Conclusions Completely new STS ACSD risk models have been developed based on contemporary patient data; their performance is superior to that of previous STS ACSD models.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons 2018  Adult Cardiac Surgery Risk Models: Part 2—Statistical Methods and Results
Conclusions New STS ACSD risk models have generally excellent calibration and discrimination and are well suited for risk adjustment of STS performance metrics.

Impact of Complications on Resource Utilization during 90-day CABG Bundle for Medicare Beneficiaries
ConclusionsMedicare beneficiaries that experience adverse events during their index CABG hospitalization will significantly impact that hospital’s financial risk. The challenge under the voluntary CABG bundled payment program will be to monitor and reduce adverse events and managing the services consumed by Medicare beneficiaries experiencing adverse events delivered at all the venues of care.

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.

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.
