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

Antithrombotic strategy variability in atrial fibrillation and obstructive coronary disease revascularised with percutaneous coronary intervention: primary results from the AVIATOR 2 international registry
CONCLUSIONS: The AVIATOR 2 study is the first digital health study examining physician-patient perspectives on ATT choices after AF-PCI. TT was the most common strategy without differences in 1-year outcomes in ATT strategy. Physicians rated safety first when prescribing ATT; patients feared stroke over bleeding.CLINICALTRIALS: gov: NCT02362659.PMID:35656720 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-21-01044

Accessory left atrial cords: A case report and literature review
ConclusionAccessory left atrial chords may be related to mitral valve disease and other left-side congenital abnormalities. These structures were found more frequently in females and A2 insertion was the most frequently observed pattern in the review.

Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Improves Late Survival After Concomitant Cardiac Surgery.
Preoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) increases risk of stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality after cardiac surgery. Despite encouraging results and guideline recommendations, surgical ablation (SA) for AF concomitant to other heart surgery remains low. The current report aimed to address the long-term mortality after SA concomitant to cardiac surgery.

Atrial fibrillation ablation improves late survival after concomitant cardiac surgery
Preoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) increases risk of stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality after cardiac surgery. Despite encouraging results and guideline recommendations, surgical ablation (SA) for AF concomitant with other heart surgery remains low. In the current study we aimed to address the long-term mortality after SA concomitant with cardiac surgery.

Incidence, predictors, and outcome for post-operative atrial fibrillation in Indian patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting —a prospective observational study
ConclusionsIn our study, the incidence of POAF was much lower (7.94%) than that reported previously. POAF significantly increased adverse outcomes and length of hospital stay. Both EuroSCORE II and STS scores had similar discriminating power in predicting POAF.

Redo surgery for noninfective isolated mitral valve disease: Initial outcome and further follow ‐up compared to primary surgery
ConclusioniMVR for  noninfective reasons is infrequent and rare. Compared to primary surgery, redo's suffer mainly from bleeding-associated morbidity. This does not translate into prolonged hospital stay or inferior immediate or long-term outcomes. Redo mitral valve replacement can be performed at no significantly in creased surgical risk compared with first surgery and the results are particularly not limited by the surgery itself.

Clinical Course of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery and Long-Term Outcome
CONCLUSIONS: A more complicated POAF course is associated with increased long-term risk for heart failure hospitalization, but not for all-cause mortality or thromboembolic complications.PMID:35430224 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.03.062
