Complete sternal-sparing HeartMate 3 implantation: a case series of ten consecutive patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our early outcomes suggest that the CSS approach may reduce the incidence of right ventricular failure, bleeding, intubation time and ICU length of stay. Further studies are needed to fully elucidate the advantages of CSS LVAD implantation compared with median sternotomy. PMID: 30444989 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk Prediction Model for Major Adverse Outcome in Proximal Thoracic Aortic Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: The current study identified risk factors for major adverse outcome after proximal thoracic aortic surgery with HCA for degenerative pathology. The proposed simple, accurate model can quantify risk and facilitate physician-patient counseling prior to possible surgical intervention. PMID: 30414833 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Early extubation without increased adverse events in high risk cardiac surgical patients.
CONCLUSIONS: A prudent and diligent multi-faceted early extubation protocol may be successful in high risk cardiac surgical patients without an increase in adverse outcomes. A larger study is needed in the future to confirm the finding. PMID: 30395853 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Surgical outcomes in Behcet's disease patients with severe aortic regurgitation.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that mechanical root replacement combined with a low post-operative C-reactive protein level maintained through adjunctive immunomodulation therapy may lead to optimal surgical outcomes in Behcet's disease associated with severe aortic regurgitation.

Valve Sparing Root Replacement Provides Excellent Mid-Term Outcomes for Bicuspid Valve Aortopathy.
CONCLUSIONS: VSRR can be safely and effectively performed in young patients with bicuspid valve anatomy regardless of degree of pre-operative AI. Valve function is durable and the incidence of valve-related complications is low. VSRR is an attractive and potentially superior option to conventional root replacement in appropriately selected patients with bicuspid aortopathy. PMID: 30292845 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Feasibility and Outcomes of TAVI using the Left Axillary Artery as Primary Access Site.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study reporting on outcome after TAVI using the LAA as default access. We conclude that it is highly feasible and safe with low rates of major vascular complications, bleeding and stroke. PMID: 30292844 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Minimally Invasive Approaches to Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement: A Meta-Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive approaches to AVR yield excellent outcomes in high volume centers. They reduce hospital stay and incidence of post-operative atrial fibrillation, and, therefore, should be considered in patients undergoing AVR. However, the operative approach should be selected according to surgeon's technical expertise and what is best for specific patient profile. PMID: 30189193 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Valvectomy versus Replacement for the Surgical Treatment of Tricuspid Endocarditis.
CONCLUSIONS: Tricuspid valve excision, repair, and replacement have similar 30-day operative mortality, as defined by the STS, in TV endocarditis patients and significantly lower unplanned readmission rates at one year in the excision patients. Tricuspid valvectomy is an acceptable initial treatment in this high-risk group as part of a surgical strategy to identify patients who are candidates for eventual valve replacement. Further study of long term outcomes and survival is warranted. PMID: 29777672 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes of Planned 2-Stage Hybrid Aortic Repair with Dacron Replaced Proximal Landing Zone.
CONCLUSIONS: Planned 2-stage HAR with open 1st stage PAR followed by 2nd stage TEVAR with Dacron replaced PLZ yields excellent short and long-term results, including low rates of re-intervention likely due to long-segment PLZ within Dacron-replaced aorta. The technique should be considered in patients with even mild (>4.0 cm) ascending aortic dilation in whom HAR is otherwise the preferred treatment option.

Bilateral Internal Mammary Artery Utilization in Diabetics: Friend or Foe?
CONCLUSIONS: In this statewide analysis, diabetics who received BIMA grafts (compared to diabetics with LIMA grafts or non-diabetics with BIMA grafts) had higher O/E ratios for composite morbidity/mortality as a result of higher O/E ratios for major complications.

Determinants of Reverse Remodeling of the Left Atrium Following Transaortic Myectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: Left atrial volume decreases significantly following surgical relief of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Early changes likely reflect lower LA pressure due to gradient relief and abolishment of mitral regurgitation, and late reduction suggests continued reverse remodeling.

Coronary Revascularization with Single Versus Bilateral Mammary Arteries: Is It Time to Change?
CONCLUSIONS: In a large regional experience BIMA is associated with no upfront risk of adverse events and improved long-term survival compared to SIMA. Our results indicate that BIMA conduits should be considered more frequently during CABG due to their demonstrated survival advantage. PMID: 29550203 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Use of an Automated Suture Fastening Device in Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement.
CONCLUSIONS: In minimally invasive aortic valve replacement, the Cor-Knot device was associated with reduced aortic cross-clamp time while providing equivalent clinical outcomes. Larger studies are needed to confirm efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of the Cor-Knot device in minimally invasive aortic valve surgery. PMID: 29501643 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
