Mashup Score: 1The Relation between Obesity and Mortality in Postcardiotomy Veno-arterial Membrane Oxygenation - 2 year(s) ago
Obesity is an important health problem in cardiac surgery and among patients requiring post-cardiotomy veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO). Still, it remains unclear whether these patients are at risk for unfavorable outcomes after post-cardiotomy V-A ECMO. The current study aimed to evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI and in-hospital outcomes in this…

Mashup Score: 4Low-Dose vs Standard Warfarin After Mechanical Mitral Valve Replacement: A Randomized Trial - 2 year(s) ago
Current guidelines recommend a target international normalized ratio (INR) range of 2.5 to 3.5 in patients with a mechanical mitral prosthesis. The Prospective Randomized On-X Anticoagulation Clinical Trial (PROACT) Mitral randomized controlled noninferiority trial assessed safety and efficacy of warfarin at doses lower than currently recommended in patients with an On-X (Artivion, Inc)…

Mashup Score: 0Transmyocardial revascularization: 5-year follow-up of a prospective, randomized multicenter trial - 2 year(s) ago
In prospective randomized trials at 1 year, transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) provided superior relief of angina, decreased rehospitalizations, and improved exercise times. We evaluated 5-year mortality and angina class in “no-option” patients with diffuse coronary artery disease randomized to TMR or continued medical management.

Social and cultural bias on the part of both patients and health care workers is common in the surgical setting. When bias generates behavior that influences patient care strategies or disrupts operational flow, quality suffers and patient safety is threatened.

Risk estimation for surgical intervention is an essential component of heart team shared decision-making. However, current mitral valve (MV) surgery risk models used in practice lack etiologic or procedural specificity. The purpose of this study was to establish a comprehensive method for assessment of operative risk of MV repair of primary mitral regurgitation (MR).

Mashup Score: 2Comparing Consumer-Directed Hospital Rankings With STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database Outcomes - 2 year(s) ago
Public interest in stratifying hospital performance has led to the proliferation of commercial, consumer-oriented hospital rankings. In cardiac surgery, little is known about how these rankings correlate with clinical registry quality ratings.

Mashup Score: 2The Issues with Risk and Benefit Evaluation for Invasive Treatment of Cardiac Disease - 2 year(s) ago
Risk and benefit assessment is a cornerstone of surgical decision making. Any intervention entails a certain amount of early risk, which is usually invested with the expectation of a long-term benefit. For example, survival curves of surgical patients are often worse compared with a medical control group in the first few years after the index procedure until curves cross and the benefits of…

Mashup Score: 1Edge-to-Edge Technique Used as a Bailout for Suboptimal Mitral Repair: Long-term Results - 2 year(s) ago
For cases of initial suboptimal mitral valve repair, the edge-to-edge (EE) technique has been used as a bailout procedure. However the long-term durability of those rescued mitral valves is currently unknown. With this study we aim to evaluate the long-term clinical and echocardiographic results of the EE technique used to rescue patients with initial suboptimal conventional mitral valve repair.

Cardiac surgery–associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) occurs in 15% to 50% of adults undergoing cardiac surgery and is characterized by a 0.3 mg/dL or 50% increase in serum creatinine from baseline or oliguria.1-4 There is wide regional, national, and international variation in rates of CSA-AKI.5,6 This is likely due to the lack of use of standardized definitions of AKI, such as the Kidney…
