Mashup Score: 2Wall stress analyses in patients with ≥5 cm versus - 3 year(s) ago
Current guidelines for elective surgery of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysms (aTAAs) use aneurysm size as primary determinant for risk stratification of adverse events. Biomechanically, dissection may occur when wall stress exceeds wall strength. Determining patient-specific aTAA wall stresses by finite element analysis can potentially predict patient-specific risk of dissection. This study…

Mashup Score: 1The influence of tobacco load versus smoking status on outcomes following lobectomy for lung cancer in a statewide quality collaborative - 3 year(s) ago
Collaborative quality consortia can facilitate implementation of quality measures arising from clinical databases. Our statewide general thoracic surgery (GTS) collaborative investigated the influences of cigarette smoking status on mortality and major morbidity following lobectomy for lung cancer.

Mashup Score: 17
It is estimated that more than 125 million people live with ischemic heart disease globally, and each year in the United States, 720,000 have a first myocardial infarction resulting in hospital admission or death.1,2 Approximately 35% of those who experience a coronary event in a given year die because of it, and each death is associated with an average of 16 years of life lost. Ischemic…

Mashup Score: 2Minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery with bilateral internal thoracic arteries: Early outcomes and angiographic patency - 3 year(s) ago
Multivessel minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting, performed chiefly with left internal thoracic artery and saphenous vein grafts through a left anterolateral thoracotomy, has recently emerged as an alternative to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting. The present study involves our initial experience with respect to early postoperative and angiographic outcomes after total…

Mashup Score: 2
As endoscopic approaches become more widely used to treat early-stage esophageal cancer, reliably identifying patients with less-aggressive tumors is paramount. We sought to identify risk factors for recurrence in patients with completely resected T1 esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Mashup Score: 14Anterior versus posterior leaflet mitral valve repair: A propensity-matched analysis - 3 year(s) ago
Mitral valve repair is superior to replacement for degenerative disease, but long-term outcomes of anterior versus posterior leaflet repair remain poorly defined. We propensity matched anterior and posterior repairs to compare long-term outcomes.

Mashup Score: 11Outcomes in anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery after surgical reimplantation - 3 year(s) ago
Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) can be associated with myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac arrest. We compared outcomes data of patients who underwent transection and reimplantation (TAR) and patients who underwent an unroofing.
