University of Utah, Department of Surgery, Division of Pediatric Surgery. Electronic address:
Background: Routine preoperative echocardiograms (ECHOs) are frequently obtained in patients undergoing minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE), but the benefit and necessity of preoperative screening remain debated. In this study, we sought to quantify the proportion of preoperative ECHOs that had clinically significant findings.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 255 patients who underwent MIRPE at a single pediatric referral center from 2018 to 2023.

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Electronic address:
Introduction: The impact of sex on quality of life (QoL) and long-term mortality after thoracic aortic surgery is incompletely understood. We investigated whether sex-related differences in these outcomes exist following surgery.
Methods: Patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery between 2004-2023 were identified using the Manitoba Thoracic Aortic Database, which was linked to population-level registries in the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Uji Tokushukai Medical Center, 145 Ishibashi, Makishimacyo, Uji-city, Kyoto 611-0041, Japan.
Objective: It remains unclear whether the provisional extension to induce complete attachment (PETTICOAT) technique is superior to standard TEVAR for type B aortic dissection. This study evaluated the efficacy of the PETTICOAT technique for type B and postoperative residual type B aortic dissection in the subacute phase.
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study evaluated sequential aortic morphological changes in consecutive patients with uncomplicated type B and residual postoperative type B aortic dissection treated using the PETTICOAT technique in the subacute phase between March 2018 and March 2023.

Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Newark, New Jersey.
Objectives: The authors hypothesized that the origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) is a direct continuation of the major aortic arch branches (MAAB) takeoff plane, which may have implications for brachiocephalic interventions and next generation transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI) embolic protection devices (EPDs).
Methods: In this single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study, the authors analyzed computed tomographic angiography (CTA) images from 92 patients undergoing TAVI evaluation to determine the spatial relationship between the origin of the RCA and the MAAB takeoff plane. Patients with prior cardiothoracic or aortic interventions and those with anomalous RCA origin were excluded.

Department of Cardiology, Harbin Medical University, 150000 Harbin, Heilongjiang, China.
Background: Differences between female and male patients may influence the outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, knowledge regarding known sex differences in TAVR procedures among Chinese people remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of sex-related differences on reverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling following TAVR in the Chinese population.
