Background: Presently, the availability of single-stage surgical correction of mitral valve disease combined with atrial fibrillation (AF) via a mini-access approach remains limited. Moreover, the comparative effectiveness of this procedure versus conventional sternotomy (CS) remains poorly understood. Thus, this study aimed to conduct a comparative assessment of the efficacy and safety of concomitant mitral valve surgery and AF ablation via a minimally invasive approach (minimally invasive cardiac surgery, MICS group) versus the standard sternotomy approach (CS group).

Background: There is conflicting literature regarding mortality outcomes associated with REBOA usage in patients with severe thoracic or abdominal trauma. Our study aims to assess the benefits and negative implications of REBOA use in adult trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock with severe thoracic or abdominal injuries.

Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis utilized the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program Participant Use File (ACS-TQIP-PUF) database from 2017 to 2023 to evaluate adult patients with severe isolated thoracic or abdominal trauma undergoing REBOA placement.

Introduction: Epigenetic changes are important modulators of gene expression. The histone acetyltransferase gene non-derepressible 5 (Gcn5) is emerging as a pivotal epigenetic player in metabolism and cancer, yet its role in obesity and cardiovascular disease remains elusive.

Aims: To investigate Gcn5 role in obesity-related endothelial dysfunction.

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: To evaluate the early postoperative morbidity, mortality, and prosthetic conduit function of patients who underwent aortic root replacement using a prefabricated bioprosthetic aortic valved conduit.

Methods: Single-center retrospective review of 124 consecutive adult patients who underwent aortic root replacement with a certified prefabricated bioprosthetic aortic valved conduit from 2021 to December 2023.

Results: Indications for operation were aortic aneurysms (n = 92), endocarditis (n = 12), deterioration of prior valve prosthesis (n = 13), and aortic dissection (n = 6).
