Preoperative Hematocrit Is a Powerful Predictor of Adverse Outcomes in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Report From The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database.
CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative HCT is a powerful independent predictor of perioperative mortality as well as renal failure and deep sternal wound infection in patients undergoing isolated primary CABG operations. These findings should prompt investigation of strategies to increase preoperative HCT. PMID: 24055236 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome of redo surgical aortic valve replacement in patients ≥ 80 years: results from the multicenter RECORD initiative.
CONCLUSIONS: Octogenarians undergoing S-AVR after prior cardiac surgery have similar immediate postoperative outcome to younger patients and their 5-year outcome is excellent. These data suggest that indication to TAVR should not rely only on coexistence of advanced age and history of prior cardiac surgery. PMID: 24036070 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Use of Transaortic, Transapical, and Transcarotid Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Inoperable Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Less than half of patients deemed appropriate for posttrial TAVR were candidates for TF implantation. The use of all available access routes leads to excellent outcomes in patients deemed inoperable. PMID: 23972931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome of Pericardiectomy for Constrictive Pericarditis in Japan: A Nationwide Outcome Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Pericardiectomy is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Careful consideration should be given to these risk factors in the process of patient selection and perioperative management. PMID: 23791164 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
