Perioperative and long ‐term outcomes of Ross versus mechanical aortic valve replacement
ConclusionsIn this mid-term propensity score-matched analysis, the Ross procedure offers similar perioperative outcomes, freedom from reintervention or valve dysfunction as well as overall survival compared to traditional mAVR but without the morbidity associated with long-term anticoagulation. At specialized centers with sufficient expertize, the Ross procedure should be strongly considered in select patients requiring aortic valve replacement.

Determining  optimal donor heart ischemic times in adult cardiac transplantation
ConclusionsThe donor heart IT threshold for survival determined from unbiased statistical modeling occurs at 3  h. With longer preservation times, transplantation with O donor hearts was associated with worse survival.
