A comparative study of thoracoscopic left atrial appendage clipping versus stapled resection
CONCLUSIONS: The clipping group demonstrated a higher rate of complete LAA closure compared to the stapled resection group. Close monitoring of patients with residual LAA stumps is essential. Further research with larger cohorts is needed to elucidate impact of residual LAA stump on thromboembolic events.PMID:37734642 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.09.010

Benchmarking Outcomes of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients with Bicuspid Aortic Valves
CONCLUSIONS: In this nationally-representative study, 30-day mortality was similar but risk-adjusted 5-year mortality was significantly lower in bicuspid patients undergoing isolated SAVR compared to tricuspid patients, specifically low-risk and normal left ventricular ejection fraction patients. This analyses provides a much-needed 5-year longitudinal national-level benchmark to better inform the discussion of transcatheter vs SAVR in bicuspid patients.PMID:37454786 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.06.026

Long Term Outcomes and Anticoagulation in Mitral Valve Surgery - A Report from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database
CONCLUSIONS: Anticoagulation was used in less than half of mitral valve surgery. In MVrep patients, warfarin was associated with increased bleeding and was not protective against either stroke or mortality. In BMVR patients, warfarin was associated with a modest survival benefit, increased bleeding and equivalent stroke risk. NOAC was associated with increased adverse outcomes.PMID:37308066 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.05.025

Prosthesis Choice in Dialysis Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement
CONCLUSIONS: MVR in dialysis patients carries significant morbidity and increased mid-term mortality. Decreased life-expectancy should be considered in the tailoring of prosthesis choice to dialysis-dependent patients.PMID:37245789 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.05.015

Center-Level Variation in Failure to Rescue Following Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, center-level variations in mortality were more strongly explained by differences in FTR than complications. Our findings suggest the utility of FTR as a quality metric for congenital heart surgery, although further study is needed to develop a widely accepted definition and appropriate risk-adjustment models.PMID:37182822 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.05.001

Center-Level Variation in Failure to Rescue Following Elective Adult Cardiac Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: The present findings affirm prior work demonstrating a close link between variation in FTR and mortality, but not complications. Further study is necessary to delineate modifiable care pathways that mitigate FTR.PMID:37031769 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.03.034

Race and Socioeconomic Disparities in Proximal Aortic Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Patients of Non-White race undergoing proximal aortic surgery have less insurance coverage, more urgent procedures, and a higher comorbidity burden than White patients; which translates to Non-White patients having significantly higher morbidity. A greater focus on non-fatal outcome differentials and improving access to care likely will improve aortic surgery disparities.PMID:37031768 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.03.032
