This meta-analysis of 28 studies sought to evaluate the prognostic impact of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation in the postoperative period of cardiac surgery, with a focus on surgical procedure type and device indication.
A meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing early aortic valve replacement (either surgical or transcatheter) with a conservative strategy of close clinical surveillance in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis.
Consensus document on bleeding management, transfusion, and quality metrics in cardiac surgery
Substudy of the prospective, multicenter, randomized TITAN:SvS trial evaluating candidates for ascending aortic surgery using alternative metrics beyond aortic diameter.
This is a retrospective observational study from a high-volume center addressing aortic intramural hematoma (IMH) as a distinct clinical entity within the acute aortic syndrome (AAS) spectrum. The authors outline their therapeutic approach, with particular emphasis on surgical strategy and patient selection based on the hematoma’s location and radiological progression.
This multicenter observational study evaluates the impact of percutaneous edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair on overall survival in patients with tricuspid regurgitation across different disease stages.
This single-center, retrospective observational study assessed the long-term clinical impact of performing more than one distal anastomosis in the same diseased coronary territory in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for 3-vessel disease (3VD).
An analysis of the various factors that may influence the effectiveness of myocardial protection during cardiac surgery in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 40%, with a focus on comparing the efficacy of del Nido versus cold blood cardioplegia.
Comparative results from a New Jersey state cohort (2007–2018) of patients with multivessel disease treated by surgical or percutaneous revascularization
This state-of-the-art document provides an overview of current donor selection strategies in heart transplantation (HT), highlighting how technical advances have enabled an expansion in the donor pool and increased transplant rates.
