Performance of a Machine Learning Algorithm in Predicting Outcomes of Aortic Valve Replacement.
CONCLUSIONS: The ML algorithm XGBoost demonstrated excellent calibration and modest improvements in discriminatory ability compared to existing STS models in this study of isolated SAVR. PMID: 32687831 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Learning curve predictors for minimally invasive mitral valve surgery; how far should the rabbit hole go?
ConclusionsThe learning curve is affected by many factors but this should not desist surgeons from approaching this technique. The introduction of high ‐risk patients in clinical practice should be carefully measured based on surgeon experience.

How Common are Aortic Aneurysms?
Discussion Aortic root dilatation or thoracic aortic aneurysm occurs in 6:100,000 individuals > 50 years of age. It is due to aging, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and smoking. Tertiary syphilis was a cause in the preantibiotic era. Pediatric aneurysms are very uncommon but the exact prevalence is different due to the various causes. Aneurysms are due to genetic disorders, congenital anomalies or post-surgical repair. In pediatric patients with sudden cardiac deaths, 5.4% are due to ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysms. Learning Point Some causes of pediatric aneurysms include: Familial thoracic aneurysm and dissect...

Aortic valve replacement via right anterolateral minithoracotomy - preventing adverse events during the initial learning curve
CONCLUSIONS: RALT-AVR can be performed with acceptable procedural times and satisfactory outcomes. For a well-trained surgeon, adapting to this new procedure does not expose patients to an increased risk, when patient selection and procedural planning are applied appropriately. Cumulative sum failure analysis is an appropriate tool to monitor the transition from standard AVR to the technically more demanding RALT-AVR.PMID:34825793 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.21.11981-0

Pass On What You Have Learned: A Structured Mentor-Mentee Concept for the Implementation of a Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery Program
Conclusion: Typically, excellent exposure and high repair rates of the MV has led us offer MICS approach to a majority of patients with isolated MV disease. Careful planning and a strict mentor-mentee concept facilitated a safe startup of an MICS program in a busy university heart center.Eur Surg Res
