Mashup Score: 310 Commandments of TEER in Patients With Secondary Mitral Regurgitation - Maheedhar Gedela, Gilbert H. L. Tang, 2023 - 16 day(s) ago
Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) in heart failure (HF) patients results from the decreased left ventricular (LV) systolic function and alterations in the LV geometry causing incomplete mitral leaflet coaptation from increased leaflet tethering or decreased closing forces or both as an underlying mechanism. SMR is strongly associated with poor quality of life and recurrent HF hospitalizations, and the 5-year mortality is nearly 60%. 1, 2 Treatment options for SMR include guideline-directed medical

Relative rates of early graft failure and conduit selection in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery remain controversial. Therefore, we sought to determine the incidence and determinants of graft failure of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA), radial artery, saphenous vein, and right internal mammary artery (RIMA) 1 year after CABG surgery.

Mashup Score: 1Do we increase the operative risk by adding the Cox Maze III procedure to aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass surgery? - PubMed - 1 year(s) ago
The addition of the Cox Maze III procedure to AVR or CABG did not convey an increase in major morbidity and perioperative risk. Patients who underwent the Cox Maze III procedure demonstrated similar survival over time with improvement in health-related quality of life. The Cox Maze III should not be …

Analysis of multiple secondary outcomes in a clinical trial leads to an increased probability of at least one false significant result among all secondary outcomes studied. In this paper, we question the notion that that if no multiplicity adjustment has been applied to multiple secondary outcome analyses in a clinical trial, then they must necessarily be regarded as exploratory. Instead, we…

The large left atrium group had acceptable return to sinus rhythm and sinus rhythm without antiarrhythmic drugs. The embolic stroke rate was low despite the majority of patients not taking anticoagulation. If patients are managed appropriately post-ablation, left atrial size should not be a discoura …
