Thoracoscopic Pulmonary Vein and Left Atrial Posterior Wall Isolation Combined with Left Atrial Appendage Resection in Patients with Long-Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusion: A frequent ablation device position changing during the surgery makes it possible to achieve complete left atrial posterior wall and pulmonary veins isolation. An increased number of applications allows to avoid a false positive transmural damage assessment showed by impedance drop. Also, frequent position changing of the ablation device and increased number of applications do not affect the number of postoperative complications.

National Outcomes of Surgical Embolectomy for Acute Pulmonary Embolism.
CONCLUSIONS: In this contemporary, real-world study, mortality occurred in 19.8% of patients undergoing surgical embolectomy for acute pulmonary embolism. This represents a significant improvement compared to traditional outcomes and supports the role of surgery in the multidisciplinary treatment of this high-risk condition.

Commentary: Postpericardial syndrome after cardiac surgery: Is it really benign?
Lehto and colleagues1 report on the long-term outcomes of postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) occurring after aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery. The patient cohort was drawn from 2 large Finnish multi-institutional clinical trial databases, namely CAREAVR (Consortium of Studies in the Field of Atrial Fibrillation, Stroke, and Bleeding in Patients Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement) and CAREBANK (Cardiovascular Research Consortium---A Prospective Project to Identify Biomarkers of Morbidity and Mortality in Cardiovascular Interventional Patients),1 in which a total of 671 AVR patients (bioprosthesis, n = 361 and mecha...

Long-term Outcomes of Stand-Alone Maze IV for Persistent or Long-standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
ConclusionsThis study confirmed the safety and efficacy in the long term (7 years) of the stand-alone Cox-Maze IV surgical procedure for persistent or long-standing persistent AF. Indeed, more than 70% of the patients were in sinus rhythm off class I or III AADs and off oral anticoagulation.Visual Abstract

Stroke after MitraClip: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Although with a low number of pooled events, there was a trend for a lower post-procedure stroke in TMVR when compared with SMVR and a similar one between TMVR and OMT alone.

Mid-term single-centre outcomes of BioIntegral compared to Freestyle aortic conduit implantation.
CONCLUSIONS: FS and BI provide comparable clinical midterm results and hemodynamic parameters. Simplified implantation technique providing shorter cardiopulmonary bypass and operation times are advantageous for BI.

Outcomes in nonagenarians undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI): data from a nationwide analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Within nonagenarians with AS, patients treated with TAVI had lower risk of cardiovascular events than matched patients treated medically. The patients undergoing a TAVI at this age were often highly selected and the procedure was associated with acceptable long term outcomes.

The Relationship Between Mitral Annular Calcification, Metabolic Syndrome and Thromboembolic Risk
Conclusion: We have shown that CHA2DS2-VASc score and presence of MetS rates were significantly higher in patients with MAC compared without MAC. Presence of MAC was correlated with CHA2DS2-VASc score, presence of MetS, AF and left atrial diameter and negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction.

The Status and Research Progress on Vitamin D Deficiency and Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract Atrial fibrillation is a common type of arrhythmia and is an important cause of stroke and heart failure. vitamin D is an emerging risk factor of AF, and is implicated in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation. It has been established that this vitamin is extensively involved in the regulation of both the renin angiotensin aldosterone system and the immune system. Epidemiological studies have not yet reached a consensus on the possible association between vitamin D deficiency and atrial fibrillation. Better research designs and methods can further clarify the relationship between the two.

Ligation of Left Atrial Appendage during Off-Pump Coronary Surgery.
CONCLUSION: Epicardial ligation of LAA during OPCAB in patients with AF may reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in long-term follow-up and does not affect the mortality.

Risk factors for atrial fibrillation recurrence post Cox-maze IV performed without pre-exclusion
ConclusionsThe Cox maze IV procedure performed without pre-exclusions showed reasonable survival rates. Although AF recurred in patients with longer AFD, they fared well with significant increases in stroke volume. Concomitant atrial volume reduction may have contributed to these additional benefits.

A Comparative Study of TAVR versus SAVR in Moderate and High-Risk Surgical Patients: Hospital Outcome and Midterm Results.
CONCLUSION: In this study, we could not detect an advantage in survival when SAVR or TAVR were utilized in intermediate to high surgical risk patients needing aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis.
