Propensity Adjusted Analysis of Open and Endovascular Thoracic Aortic Repair for Chronic Type B Dissection: A Twenty-Year Evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: Intervention for CBAD can be performed with excellent results, either by an open or endovascular approach. The higher rate of treatment failure after TEVAR warrants modification of current device design or endovascular approach before broad application of this treatment strategy.

Outcomes of Open Repair for Chronic Descending Thoracic Aortic Dissection.
CONCLUSIONS: Open repairs of chronic descending thoracic aortic aneurysm dissections can be performed with respectable morbidity and mortality. Neurologic deficit remains low with the use of adjuncts, and early deaths are directly related to preoperative renal status. Reintervention on the involved aortic segment is low. These results allow comparisons with endovascular repair for chronic aortic dissection. PMID: 25617229 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Silent Cerebral Ischemia After Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair: A Neuroimaging Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic endovascular aortic repair resulted in a high incidence of new foci of restricted diffusion on cerebral DW-MRI in a pattern suggestive of periprocedural embolization. Although multiple lesions per patients were found, these lesions were not associated with apparent neurologic deficits during the in-hospital period. Further developments in TEVAR should be directed toward reducing the risk of periprocedural cerebral embolization. PMID: 24841546 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Ascending-to-Descending Aoritc Bypass: A Simple Solution to a Complex Problem.
CONCLUSIONS: The ascending-to-descending aortic bypass can be performed with low morbidity and mortality. It is an effective solution to complex aortic coarctation and represents a safe single-stage approach for patients with concomitant cardiac pathology.

Operative Outcomes After Open Repair of Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms in the Era of Endovascular Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: In the era of endovascular repair of DTAAs, operative death and morbidity outcomes for open repairs are observed to be low. In addition to good long-term survival rates, open repairs are durable, as evidenced by low reintervention rates. PMID: 24636705 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Type A Aortic Dissection After Previous Cardiac Surgery: Results of an Integrated Surgical Approach.
CONCLUSIONS: Standardized integrated approach to acute type A aortic dissection in PCS patients results in acceptable postoperative mortality. Previous cardiac surgery should not be a reason to deny surgical repair in patients with type A dissection. PMID: 24629304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stented Elephant Trunk Technique for Retrograde Type A Aortic Dissection After Endovascular Stent Graft Repair.
CONCLUSIONS: The stented elephant trunk technique could be an alternative for treatment of retrograde type A aortic dissection with acceptable surgical risks and satisfactory results. PMID: 24210620 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of Perfusion Strategy on Outcome After Repair for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.
CONCLUSIONS: Survival during the initial perioperative period was equivalent comparing antegrade and retrograde perfusion. Antegrade perfusion to the true lumen, however, appears to be associated with superior long-term survival after hospital discharge. PMID: 24070704 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery: Influence of Aortic Clamping Technique on Early Outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: Minimally invasive mitral valve surgery can be performed successfully using either the endoaortic balloon technique or the transthoracic clamp approach. However, the transthoracic technique results in shorter operation time, less perioperative bleeding and better myocardial protection. PMID: 24035304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Minimally Invasive Fibrillating Heart Surgery: A Safe and Effective Approach for Mitral Valve and Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that low operative mortality and low stroke rate with MI fibrillating cardiac operations without cross-clamping allows for MVS and AF ablation. Our results suggest that the MI fibrillating heart approach is safe and effective. PMID: 23773732 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Variation in Warfarin Thromboprophylaxis After Mitral Valve Repair: Does Equipoise Exist and Is a Randomized Trial Warranted?
CONCLUSIONS: At present, half of patients are prescribed warfarin after isolated mitral valve repair in North American cardiac surgical practice which may impact the length of hospital stay. Although patient-level predictors of warfarin prescription exist, center- and surgeon-level variations are prominent. There is a pressing need for a randomized trial both to guide therapy and to ascertain the potential for resource conservation. PMID: 23706423 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
