Endovascular Repair of Ascending Aortic Disease in High-Risk Patients Yields Favorable Outcome
ConclusionsAscending aortic stent placement for ascending aortic disease is feasible and is associated with favorable aortic remodeling. Despite persistent perfusion to the false lumen in a subset of patients, there is minimal aortic dilation at short-term follow-up with excellent survival.

Relationship of Single Ventricle Filling and Preload to Total Cavopulmonary Connection Hemodynamics
Conclusions Flow-independent TCPC power loss is inversely related with ventricular end-diastolic and stroke volumes. Elevated power losses may contribute to impaired diastolic filling and limited preload reserve in single ventricle patients.

The Role of Head Computed Tomography Imaging in the Evaluation of Postoperative Neurologic Deficits in Cardiac Surgery Patients ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions This study reviewed the utility of early postoperative noncontrast head CT in cardiac surgery patients. With focal neurologic deficits, this imaging modality was positive for approximately one third of patients, but rarely positive for NFD. Its use in this setting has limited utility.
