Impact of Procedure Volume on the Outcomes of Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement
Conclusion Patients treated in very low volume centers (≤25 operations/year) had a similar risk regarding in-hospital mortality and most complications compared with very high-volume centers (>100 operations/year). Only in the case of acute kidney injury, very high-volume centers showed better outcomes than very low volume centers. Therefore, surgical aortic valve replacement can be performed safely independent of case volume.

Impact of preoperative atrial fibrillation on in-hospital outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting
The objective of our study was to assess if preoperative AF in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting is a predictor of operative mortality, postoperative stroke and need for postoperative dialysis by interrogating a large registry database.

The Impact of Aortic Root Enlargement on Patients undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement
CONCLUSIONS: ARE can be safely performed with isolated AVR and should be considered for patients with small annuli to avoid prosthesis-patient mismatch.PMID:35777500 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.05.052

Randomized Trial of Surgical Left Atrial Appendage Closure: Protection Against Cerebrovascular Events
Following open-heart surgery, atrial fibrillation and stroke occur frequently. Left atrial appendage closure added to elective open-heart surgery could reduce the risk of ischemic stroke. We aim to examine if routine closure of the left atrial appendage in patients undergoing open-heart surgery provides long-term protection against cerebrovascular events independently of atrial fibrillation history, stroke risk, and oral anticoagulation use. Long-term follow-up of patients enrolled in the prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded evaluation trial entitled LAACS (NCT02378116).

Can intracardiac echocardiography completely replace transesophageal echocardiography to guide left atrial appendage closure? —The comparisons of intracardiac echocardiography with transesophageal echocardiography
AbstractLeft atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is an effective means of preventing ischemic stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the primary imaging technique to guide LAAC. Its shortcomings, namely the use of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation, inevitably increase procedural risks. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), a novel imaging modality for guiding LAAC, has proven more advantageous over TEE due to use of local anesthesia, shortened procedural time, and reduced radiation exposure. This review highlights the differences between ICE and TEE guided LAA...

Sex differences in acute type A aortic dissection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Composite analysis indicates that early mortality does not differ between the sexes; however, late outcomes favour males. Differences in preoperative presentation and subsequent procedure selection between the sexes likely contribute to the disparity in late outcomes. Decision-making for surgical treatment of ATAAD should account for sex-specific risk factors.PMID:35687063 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.22.12273-1
