Open Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Patients 50 Years Old and  Younger
Conclusions Early outcomes of open TAAA repair were excellent for patients 50 years old or younger, despite the fact that these patients typically required extensive repairs.

Outcomes of Dialysis-Dependent Patients After Cardiac Operations in a Single-Center Experience of 483 Patients
Conclusions Patients with DD CRF undergoing cardiac operations have high perioperative and medium-term mortality, particularly in the presence of combined aortic and mitral valve pathologic conditions, active endocarditis, and poor left ventricular function.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Nonagenarians
Conclusions: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation can be performed in nonagenarians despite very high preoperative risk scores and substantial multimorbidity, with acceptable outcomes.

End ‐stage renal disease and severe aortic stenosis: Does valve replacement improve one‐year outcomes?
ConclusionsPatients with ESRD and severe AS have a similar and higher survival with TAVR or SAVR when compared to BAV at 1‐year. These results may influence patient care decisions favoring valve replacement in AS patients with ESRD. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reoperation for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery: Outcomes and Considerations for Expanding Interventional Procedures
Conclusions Redo CABG can be performed safely with low early and late morbidity and mortality. Important predictors of long-term mortality such as age, diabetes, renal disease, and peripheral vascular disease were identified and should guide the treatment strategy chosen for this challenging group of patients.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Versus Re-do Surgery for Failing Surgical Aortic Bioprosthesis: a Multi-Centre Propensity Score Analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with aortic bioprosthesis failure treated with either redo-SAVR or TAV-in-SAV have similar 30-day and 1-year clinical outcomes. PMID: 28760721 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Straight deep hypothermic circulatory arrest for aortic arch surgery: Going the way of the dinosaurs?
In this issue of the Journal, Damberg and colleagues1 report their experience with straight deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) as the sole means of brain protection during operations on the aortic arch in 613 consecutive patients, focusing on late outcomes.1 The independent variables associated with increased 1-year mortality were acute type A aortic dissection, reoperative status, and the presence of descending thoracic aortic pathology. The independent variables associated with increased mortality beyond 1  year were increased age, postoperative complications (stroke, dialysis, pulmonary complications), and post...

Comparative outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in African American and Caucasian patients with severe aortic stenosis
ConclusionsThere was no significant difference in the utilization rates, in‐hospital outcomes, and cost of TAVR between Caucasians and AA patients in contemporary US practice. Further comparative studies of surgical and TAVR in AAs and other racial minorities are warranted.

Transubclavian approach: A competitive access for transcatheter aortic valve implantation as compared to transfemoral
ConclusionsOur study suggests that TSc approach may be, not only an alternative route to TF approach for TAVI, but even a competitive one in certain patients with increased risk of femoral injury.

Hemiarch Reconstruction Vs Clamped Aortic Anastomosis for Concomitant Ascending Aortic Aneurysm
Conclusions Hemiarch replacement using DHCA with RCP does not increase the risk of operative complications compared to a normothermic, clamped-distal aortic anastomosis, and therefore its use should not be limited when planning complex multi-procedural reconstructions during elective ascending thoracic aortic replacement with concomitant cardiac surgery.

Outcomes of Planned 2-Stage Hybrid Aortic Repair with Dacron Replaced Proximal Landing Zone.
CONCLUSIONS: Planned 2-stage HAR with open 1st stage PAR followed by 2nd stage TEVAR with Dacron replaced PLZ yields excellent short and long-term results, including low rates of re-intervention likely due to long-segment PLZ within Dacron-replaced aorta. The technique should be considered in patients with even mild (>4.0 cm) ascending aortic dilation in whom HAR is otherwise the preferred treatment option.
