Does Surgical Ablation Energy Source Affect Long-Term Success of the Concomitant Cox Maze Procedure?
CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant CM procedures performed with cryothermal energy alone or combined with bipolar radiofrequency ablation are safe and exceedingly effective. The association of cryothermal energy alone with higher rates of sinus rhythm and stroke reduction should be investigated further. PMID: 28577848 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Use of Transaortic, Transapical, and Transcarotid Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Inoperable Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Less than half of patients deemed appropriate for posttrial TAVR were candidates for TF implantation. The use of all available access routes leads to excellent outcomes in patients deemed inoperable. PMID: 23972931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome of redo surgical aortic valve replacement in patients ≥ 80 years: results from the multicenter RECORD initiative.
CONCLUSIONS: Octogenarians undergoing S-AVR after prior cardiac surgery have similar immediate postoperative outcome to younger patients and their 5-year outcome is excellent. These data suggest that indication to TAVR should not rely only on coexistence of advanced age and history of prior cardiac surgery. PMID: 24036070 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Moderate Versus Deep Hypothermia With Unilateral Selective Antegrade Cerebral Perfusion for Acute Type A Dissection.
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate HCA with uSACP is an effective circulation management strategy that provides excellent cerebral and visceral protection during emergent ATAAD repair. In the setting of antegrade cerebral perfusion, deep hypothermia does not provide any additional benefit. PMID: 26233273 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aortic Valve Replacement in the Moderately Elevated Risk Patient: A Population-Based Analysis of Outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: This population-based contemporary assessment suggests moderate-risk patients undergoing AVR experience favorable outcomes. Although increasing PROM is important in preoperative evaluation of risk, preexisting pulmonary hypertension and indication for operation are among other factors that should be considered as TAVR expands into this group of patients.

Outcome of Pericardiectomy for Constrictive Pericarditis in Japan: A Nationwide Outcome Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Pericardiectomy is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Careful consideration should be given to these risk factors in the process of patient selection and perioperative management. PMID: 23791164 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Preoperative Hematocrit Is a Powerful Predictor of Adverse Outcomes in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: A Report From The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database.
CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative HCT is a powerful independent predictor of perioperative mortality as well as renal failure and deep sternal wound infection in patients undergoing isolated primary CABG operations. These findings should prompt investigation of strategies to increase preoperative HCT. PMID: 24055236 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Operative Outcomes After Open Repair of Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms in the Era of Endovascular Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: In the era of endovascular repair of DTAAs, operative death and morbidity outcomes for open repairs are observed to be low. In addition to good long-term survival rates, open repairs are durable, as evidenced by low reintervention rates. PMID: 24636705 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcomes of Open Repair for Chronic Descending Thoracic Aortic Dissection.
CONCLUSIONS: Open repairs of chronic descending thoracic aortic aneurysm dissections can be performed with respectable morbidity and mortality. Neurologic deficit remains low with the use of adjuncts, and early deaths are directly related to preoperative renal status. Reintervention on the involved aortic segment is low. These results allow comparisons with endovascular repair for chronic aortic dissection. PMID: 25617229 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Propensity Adjusted Analysis of Open and Endovascular Thoracic Aortic Repair for Chronic Type B Dissection: A Twenty-Year Evaluation.
CONCLUSIONS: Intervention for CBAD can be performed with excellent results, either by an open or endovascular approach. The higher rate of treatment failure after TEVAR warrants modification of current device design or endovascular approach before broad application of this treatment strategy.

Evolution in the Management of Aberrant Subclavian Arteries and Related Kommerell Diverticulum.
CONCLUSIONS: Aberrant subclavian arteries and associated Kommerell diverticulum can be treated with acceptable rates of mortality and morbidity. The evolution toward an endovascular approach did not appear to affect late outcomes, suggesting that the choice of treatment should be based on patient-specific anatomy and associated comorbidities.

Outcomes of Open Repair of Mycotic Descending Thoracic and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms.
CONCLUSIONS: Open repair of mycotic descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms remains the gold standard of therapy. Aggressive intraoperative debridement with in situ prosthetic reconstruction permits a high rate of success in this very high risk cohort of patients. Lifelong antibiotic suppression therapy may prevent late prosthetic graft infection. PMID: 26277557 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Is Total Arch Replacement Associated With Worse Outcomes During Repair of Acute Type A Aortic Dissection?
CONCLUSIONS: Acute type A aortic dissection remains a challenge associated with significant mortality and morbidity. When compared with a less aggressive resection, total arch replacement performed in an individualized fashion can be associated with acceptable early and late outcomes for ATAAD and was not associated with worse outcomes.

Contemporary Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Among Patients With Insulin-Treated and Non-Insulin-Treated Diabetes.

Beyond the Aortic Root: Staged Open and Endovascular Repair of Arch and Descending Aorta in Patients with Connective Tissue Disorders.
CONCLUSIONS: Most patients with CTDs who require operations beyond the aortic root have aortic dissection and require multiple reinterventions. Staged repair strategies, including open repair in combination with TEVAR, are feasible, and benefits outweigh risks. These patients require lifelong imaging surveillance.
