Stroke After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: Outcomes in the Continuous-Flow Era.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke while on CF-LVAD support was associated with significant mortality. To reduce the risk of stroke, it is essential to further elucidate risk factors, to optimize anticoagulation, and to further understand the impact of LVAD-related infections.

Predictors and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke After Cardiac Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke is a devastating complication following cardiac surgery, which increases operative morbidity and mortality. Stroke with LVO was associated with worse survival. However, early intervention did not impart a survival benefit. PMID: 32199830 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A More Specific Anticoagulation Regimen Is Required for Patients After the Cox-Maze Procedure.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate that the decision to discontinue OAC after the Cox-Maze procedure should not be based solely on CHADS2 scores; rather, rhythm status, echocardiographic findings, and patient risk for bleeding should be considered. These findings underscore the need for an OAC protocol for patients who have undergone the Cox-Maze procedure with appropriate LAA management. PMID: 25152383 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Mid-term results after simultaneous carotid artery stenting and cardiac surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: In this small group of patients, the hybrid procedure was proved to be a safe and efficient way of treatment for patients with concomitant carotid and cardiac diseases. The low rate of perioperative complications and good midterm results are encouraging. PMID: 32247782 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Transapical and Transaortic Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the United States.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing TAo TAVR are older, more likely female, and have significantly higher STS predicted risk of mortality scores than patients operated on by TA access. There were no risk-adjusted differences between TA and TAo access in mortality, stroke, or readmission rates as long as 1 year after TAVR. PMID: 26233276 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

CHADS2 Score Predicts Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Elective Pulmonary Lobectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: Although multiple risk factors for PAF have been described, no easily applicable clinical model exists. Observed rate of PAF was significantly lower then the previously described 12% when CHADS2 was 0. CHADS2 can predict PAF in patients undergoing elective lobectomy and can identify patients to selectively institute prophylactic measures in patients at the greatest risk, such as patients with score of 2 or greater. Further validation of this model is warranted in a larger group. PMID: 28215423 [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 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]

The Subclavian Intraaortic Balloon Pump: A Compelling Bridge Device for Advanced Heart Failure.
CONCLUSIONS: The SC-IABP provided excellent hemodynamic support with minimal morbidity and mortality, allowed for extensive rehabilitation, and permitted more than 90% of patients to receive their intended therapy. Therefore, SC-IABP is a compelling bridge device for patients with advanced congestive heart failure. PMID: 26228596 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Restrictive Mitral Valve Annuloplasty: Prognostic Implications of Left Ventricular Forward Flow.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with severe secondary MR treated with surgical repair, LV forward flow was independently associated with better survival and lower risk of the combined endpoint. PMID: 28964411 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Advancing Quality Metrics for Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implant: Analysis of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons' Intermacs Database
CONCLUSIONS: This study is among the first to report substantial interhospital variability in performance for hospitals implanting durable LVADs. These findings support the need to: (1) report hospital-level performance (mortality, composite); and (2) undertake benchmarking activities to reduce unwarranted variability in outcomes.PMID:35176258 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.01.031
