Management of the dissected aortic root in young patients: A propensity score-matched analysis of mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa.
Objective: Valve selection in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) requiring aortic root replacement is challenging given the clinical acuity, unknown patient preferences, risk of surgical bleeding, and limited life expectancy. We sought to identify long-term outcomes of mechanical versus bioprosthetic aortic root replacement in young patients with ATAAD.
Methods: Retrospective review of our institution's database of ATAAD was conducted to identify patients aged 65 years and younger who underwent mechanical Bentall (mech-Bentall) or bioprosthetic Bentall (bio-Bentall) for ATAAD from 2002 to 2022.
Imaging surveillance for thoracic aortic aneurysms in Medicare beneficiaries.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Department of Cardiac Surgery, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Mich.
Background: Regular imaging surveillance is guideline-recommended for the management of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) but has not been well described in clinical practice. Here we evaluated the frequency of imaging procedures and associated outcomes, procedures, and healthcare costs in patients with TAA.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of inpatient and professional claims for 28,459 Medicare beneficiaries age ≥65 years with a diagnosis of TAA between 2017 and 2019 was performed.
Surgical outcomes following telehealth preoperative evaluation in elective cardiac surgery.
JTCVS Open
August 2025
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass.
Objective: Telehealth preoperative evaluations have been shown to improve access to care, reduce appointment cancellations, and support efficient procedural planning across multiple surgical subspecialties. However, few studies have assessed the safety and efficacy in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective multi-institutional cohort study comparing procedural and postoperative outcomes for patients who had telehealth versus in-person preoperative evaluations for elective cardiac surgery between March 1, 2020, and March 1, 2021.
Objective: Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) represent less-invasive alternatives to conventional surgical aortic valve replacement. In contrast to Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Database data revealing <10% of all surgical aortic valve replacement procedures are performed via a minimally invasive approach, our center performs a high volume of MIAVR procedures. This propensity-score matched study aims to compare the outcomes of MIAVR versus TAVR in low-risk patients (STS Predicted Risk of Mortality <4%).

JTCVS Open
August 2025
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, Chicago, Ill.
Objective: Limited data are available on treatment of atrial fibrillation during ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve surgery. Ablation at the time of isolated aortic valve surgery has a Society of Thoracic Surgeons Class I indication. We sought to determine early and late outcomes of concomitant atrial fibrillation surgery at the time of ascending aortic aneurysm + aortic valve surgery.
