🔍 The debate on MICS continues: this study compares partial upper sternotomy (PUS) to complete median sternotomy for AVR. While MACCE rates were comparable, PUS showed advantages like shorter ICU stays and lower rehospitalization rates 🫀

🫁📊 Evaluating physical reserve in older LuTx candidates, this study used CT scans to quantify muscle and fat areas

🔍 Insights: ⬇️ muscle and ⬆️ fat = increased risks of complications and longer hospital stays

Forme fruste unicuspid aortic valve. Arrows mark the two raphae. One well developed and one rudimentary. May be misinterpreted as a Type A bicuspid aortic valve. But it’s not.

🔍 Investigating outcomes of asc. aortic replacement, the authors compared partial sternotomy (PS) vs full sternotomy approaches. Despite longer operative times for PS, no significant differences were found in complications or long-term survival🫀🏥

🫀 Redo surgical AVR poses risks, prompting the rise of transcatheter ViV procedures. This study highlights a 4.6% operative mortality, dropping to 2.5% for non-endocarditis cases. Longer bypass time, IE and lower LVEF were significant risk factors 🏥👨‍⚕️

Researchers from @TempleUnivTemple found that a female lung donor recipient may experience longer survival with a female donor’s lungs versus a male donor’s lungs of similar size. Read the study in #JTCVS Open: doi.org/10.1016/j.xjon…

Friendly reminder 🙂

Lung transplants being done via robot

Lungs 🫁 4 L in volume being transplanted through 6 cm incision. Amazing advancement in transplant surgery

🔬 Surgical MVr remains the gold standard for severe primary MR. This study, analyzing 1779 patients, highlights high repair rates, excellent outcomes, and long-term survival with both full sternotomy and minimally invasive approaches 🏥👨‍⚕️

🔍 Age, even when comorbidities are isolated, remains a significant risk factor for mortality. This work, analyzing 32 studies and 18,256 patients, found that cross-clamp time correlated with mortality, being older patients at higher risk 🏥🩺

What a great way it was to start the week! 2 busy days teaching advanced residents in coronary surgery felt like 2 minutes!

The future of coronary surgery is bright!

🔍 Frailty index predicts readmissions after lung cancer surgery! 12.5% readmitted within 90 days, mainly due to respiratory failure, pneumonia, and cardiac issues. Frail patients had higher readmission rates and worse survival outcomes🏥📊🔬

🔬 Recent study: Changes in mechanical assist device usage show improved outcomes. With better tech and patient selection, mortality rates dropped significantly in the second period. HeartMate 3 device seems to conribute to this result 🏥🔍
