Trends in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting: An analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons adult cardiac surgery database

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the operation most commonly performed by cardiac surgeons. There are few contemporary data examining evolving patient characteristics and surgical outcomes of isolated CABG. Trends in patient characteristics and outcomes after CABG over the past decade have been characterized using the Society of Thoracic Surgeons adult cardiac surgery database.

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: For the many or the few?

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) without cardiopulmonary bypass has evolved during the past 2 decades and has gained popularity in many centers. Despite favorable evidence from both prospective randomized trials and large observational studies, however, the adoption of OPCAB has been variable both worldwide and in the United Kingdom, where it has plateaued at approximately 17%. Moreover, recent studies suggest that OPCAB may be associated with adverse outcomes. The goals of this editorial are to evaluate critically the current status

Superior nationwide outcomes of endovascular versus open repair for isolated descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in 11,669 patients

Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) was introduced in 2005 to treat descending thoracic aortic aneurysms. Little is known about TEVAR's nationwide effect on patient outcomes. We evaluated nationwide data regarding the short-term outcomes of TEVAR and open aortic repair (OAR) procedures performed in the United States during a 2-year period.

Factors predicting poor survival after resection of stage IA non small cell lung cancer

Using a national cancer registry, we determined the postoperative survival of patients with stage IA non–small cell lung cancer in the United States from 1988 to 1997 and identified factors that affect survival.

Lung-volume reduction surgery for pulmonary emphysema: Improvement in body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity index after 1 year

The study hypothesized that lung-volume reduction surgery for pulmonary emphysema would improve body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity (BODE) index, a multidimensional predictor of survival in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Aortic valve-sparing reimplantation for dilatation of the ascending aorta and aortic regurgitation late after repair of congenital heart disease

Aortic regurgitation resulting from progressive dilatation of the aortic root late after surgical correction of congenital heart disease is now widely recognized. We reviewed our experience with aortic valve–sparing operations to access the effectiveness of this approach.

A randomized clinical trial of regional cerebral perfusion versus deep hypothermic circulatory arrest: Outcomes for infants with functional single ventricle

Regional cerebral perfusion has been adopted as a means to improve neuroprotection during aortic arch reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a strategy of regional cerebral perfusion rather than one of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest during aortic arch reconstruction would improve neurodevelopment without increasing morbidity or mortality for patients undergoing the Norwood operation.

Endocrine function is not impaired in patients with a continuous MicroMed-DeBakey axial flow pump

Pulsatile blood flow has been regarded to be of importance for the regulation of endocrine organs. A new generation of continuous flow mechanical blood pumps is now available for clinical application. Patients with implanted MicroMed-DeBakey axial pumps show nonphysiologic low-pulsatile blood flow profiles, and therefore it appeared to be of interest to evaluate their possible effect on the endocrine system.
