- Validity of direct bilateral axillary arterial cannulation in emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Direct bilateral axillary arterial cannulation followed by selective cerebral perfusion was successful in 93.7% of patients and this may be an optimal solution for providing stable outcomes after emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. However, we experienced two complications of arm ischemia, attention should be paid to potential arm ischemia.

- Safety of apixaban and rivaroxaban compared to warfarin after cardiac surgery. [Clinical Trial]
- CONCLUSIONS: Apixaban and rivaroxaban demonstrated similar safety when compared to a matched cohort of warfarin patients. Larger prospective randomized studies are needed to confirm these findings.

- Multicenter experience with valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement compared with primary, native valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement. [Multicenter Study]
- CONCLUSIONS: Compared to native TAVR, ViV TAVR has similar peri-procedural morbidity with relatively high postprocedure mean gradients. A multidisciplinary approach will help ensure patients receive the ideal therapy in the setting of structural bioprosthetic valve degeneration.

- Role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in planning ventricular septal myomectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). [Review]
- Septal myectomy is currently the gold standard treatment for symptomatic patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). The procedure needs to be tailored and performed in a personalized fashion, taking into consideration the anatomic and physiologic heterogeneity of this disease. The extent and location of surgical myectomy will depend on the location of the hypertrophy, with the …

- Contemporary utilization of the axillary artery in cardiac surgery. [Review]
- CONCLUSIONS: Use of the axillary artery in select cardiac surgical cases is reliable, reproducible, and may be preferable in certain cases involving ascending aortic pathology, reoperative surgery, porcelain aorta, access for transcatheter valve therapies, and peripheral mechanical circulatory support.

- Giant intracardiac medullary thyroid cancer metastasis. [Case Reports]
- We report an unusual case of giant intracardiac medullary thyroid cancer metastasis. A 76-year-old woman with a 9-year history of medullary thyroid cancer presented an unexpected 7.5 cm mass in the right ventricle. Complete resection and tricuspid valve replacement led to 40 months survival.

- Routine endoscopic robotic cardiac tumor resection using an 8-mm working port and percutaneous cannulation. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the robotic platform facilitated safe and effective cardiac tumor excision. Our results highlight the efficacy of 8-mm port sizing and the concurrent use of other minimally invasive techniques, including percutaneous cannulation, in this patient population. In general, patients prefer the least invasive treatment option available. Our findings emphasize the importance of training cardiac surgeons to perform robotic procedures using the least invasive means possible to provide patients with various options for their treatment.
