A mortality risk score for heart transplants after contemporary ventricular assist device bridging
ConclusionsAmong patients bridged to OHT with newer generation centrifugal LVADs, older age, increasing bilirubin, longer ischemic time, and pre ‐OHT dialysis independently predicted post‐transplant mortality. The composite risk score based on these factors may assist in patient selection and prognostication in those supported with contemporary LVADs.

Continuous cerebral and myocardial selective perfusion in neonatal aortic arch surgery
ConclusionCCMSP is a safe and reproducible strategy for cerebral, myocardial and visceral protection in neonatal aortic arch repair, with or without VSD closure, resulting in low complication and mortality.

Aortic root remodeling with external annuloplasty for acute type A aortic dissection: Midterm results
ConclusionIn a center with expertise in valve ‐sparing procedures, ARREAA is a reasonable option in the surgical management of AAAD in selected patients. This technique stabilizes the aortic annulus and preserves root anatomy for durable outcomes.

The long ‐term impact of peripheral cannulation for redo cardiac surgery
ConclusionsThis is the first study reporting the long ‐term impact of peripheral cannulation for redo cardiac surgery after excluding patients with operative mortality. These data suggest that central cannulation may to be the preferred approach to redo cardiac surgery whenever safe and possible.

Mitral valve prosthesis choice in patients < 70 years: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis of 20 219 patients
ConclusionMechanical MVR in patients aged less than 70 years is associated with a lower risk of operative mortality as well as a 20% lower risk of long ‐term death and 65% lower risk of mitral valve reoperation but 60% greater risk of bleeding compared with bioMVR in matched or adjusted data.

Effects and outcomes of cardiac surgery in patients with cardiometabolic syndrome
ConclusionsPatients with CMS were more likely to present with increased comorbidities. Patients with CMS undergoing CABG were at risk for worse short ‐term secondary postoperative outcomes and reduced long‐term survival. The data supports the need for further investigation for risk reduction surrounding operative revascularization.

Minimally ‐invasive parasternal aortic valve replacement–A slow learning curve towards improved outcomes
ConclusionsParasternal minimally ‐invasive aortic valve replacement is a feasible technique associated with a slow learning curve but the potential to achieve improved outcomes. Considering the transcatheter alternatives, the relative risk reduction may be worth investigating in future trials.

Predictors and outcomes of stroke after transcatheter aortic valve replacement
ConclusionsAlternative access approach and a history of transient ischemic attack emerged as independent predictors of postoperative stroke. Patients with stroke suffered more complications and had worse survival, underscoring the importance of characterizing the stroke risk in these patients.

Type A aortic dissection in patients over the age of seventy in the UK
ConclusionsATAD is a life ‐threatening condition with a high mortality rate if left untreated. Our results show that surgery for ATAD in patients over 70 is feasible with acceptable mortality rates. However, similar to previous studies, rates of stroke in older patients may be higher. The present study supports the notion that age should not be a discriminating factor in operating on patients with TAAD.

Bilateral versus single internal thoracic artery for coronary artery bypass grafting with end ‐stage renal disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionsBITA grafting is safe in patients with ESRD although there was no survival benefit at 3.7 years. Additional studies with longer follow ‐up are required to determine the potential late benefits of BITA grafting in patients with ESRD.

Sternal wound complications in patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplantation
ConclusionSternal wound infections impart a significant burden on patients with OHT. Causative organisms are predominantly virulent gram ‐negative bacteria. Therefore, a high index of suspicion must be maintained for early detection and treatment.
