BACKGROUND: The effects of surgery on the survival of patients with pleural mesothelioma remain poorly understood. We compared the therapeutic outcomes of patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery or refusing surgery for pleural mesothelioma. METHODS: This retrospective study included consecutive patients who were eligible for curative-intent surgery after three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with platinum plus pemetrexed at our hospital during January 2011-December 2021...

BACKGROUND: The current standard of care for locally advanced esophageal and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers includes either neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or perioperative chemotherapy with surgery; however, disease-free survival in these patients remains poor. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are approved for adjuvant treatment of locally advanced esophageal and GEJ cancers, but their benefit in the perioperative and neoadjuvant settings remains under investigation. METHODS: We conducted a literature search to identify studies that investigated immunotherapy for locally advanced esophageal and GEJ carcinoma using the PubMed online database...

BACKGROUND: Mortality following congenital heart surgery is an important metric across benchmarking, quality, and reporting initiatives. All rely on estimates from prior years, and it is unclear how well these reflect current outcomes. METHODS: STS Congenital Database index operations (2014-2019) were included. Adjusted operative mortality in "past" 4- and 1-year intervals vs. the most recent year ("present") was evaluated using Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression with results presented as odds ratios (95% credible interval)...

BACKGROUND: Selection of transcatheter valve size using preprocedural computed tomography (CT) is standardized and well established. However, valve sizing for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is currently performed intraoperatively using sizers, which may result in variation between operators and risk for prosthesis-patient mismatch. This study evaluated the usefulness of CT annulus measurement for SAVR valve sizing. METHODS: We studied patients who underwent SAVR using Inspiris or Magna Ease and received preoperative ECG-gated CT imaging...

BACKGROUND: Prolonged mechanical ventilation is common among lung transplant recipients, affecting nearly one-third of patients. Tracheostomy has been shown as a beneficial alternative to endotracheal intubation, but delays in tracheostomy tube placement persist. To date, no large-scale study has investigated the effect of tracheostomy timing on posttransplant outcomes. METHODS: All adults receiving tracheostomy after primary, isolated lung transplantation were identified in the 2016 to 2020 Nationwide Readmissions Database...

BACKGROUND: Quality of oncologic resection for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may differ by surgical approach. Minimally invasive surgery has become the standard for surgical treatment of NSCLC. Our study compares quality of wedge resection by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) vs robotic video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RVATS). We hypothesized that RVATS would result in higher quality resections and improved patient outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis was completed using the National Cancer Database for patients with clinical stage 1 NSCLC with tumor size ≤2 cm who underwent a minimally invasive surgery wedge resection from 2010 to 2019...

BACKGROUND: Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and DiGeorge syndrome. High-risk infantile surgery is required to address IAA, with limited data available on long-term outcomes. We used the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium, a multicenter US-based registry for pediatric cardiac interventions, to assess long-term outcomes after IAA repair by patient characteristics and surgical approach. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing IAA repair between 1982 and 2003...

BACKGROUND: The clinical implications of acute phase thrombosis following surgical left atrial appendage (LAA) closure remain unclear. This study sought to determine the frequency, prognosis, and factors involved in thrombogenesis after surgical LAA occlusion. METHODS: In this study, data from patients who underwent two types of stand-alone surgical LAA closure (either resection or clipping) between July 2014 and March 2020 at a single center were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 239 consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent minimally invasive stand-alone surgical LAA occlusion (184 resection cases and 55 clipping cases)...

REVIEW

Aortic valve disease is common and valve-preserving operations are preferred whenever possible. Valve-sparing aortic root replacement (VSRR) has become an important tool for managing aortic root pathology in children and adults. The learning curve for this operation is challenging but with increasing experience and technical modifications, early and late outcomes continue to improve. Durable long term results vary based on underlying anatomy, pathology, and patient selection, and surgeon expertise. The purpose of Part II of this VSRR State of the Art Review article is to provide technical pearls related to VSRR...

Differences in outcomes by indication for veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) are poorly described. We hypothesized that patients on VA-ECLS for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) have fewer complications and better survival than patients on VA-ECLS for other indications METHODS: All patients 18 years or older on VA-ECLS from the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization global registry (2010-2019) were evaluated (n=29,842). After excluding patients >79 years of age (n=729) and those with incomplete indication data (n=2,530), patients were stratified by VA-ECLS indication for PE versus all other indications...
