Hospital readmissions are resource intensive, associated with increased morbidity, and often used as hospital-level quality indicators. The factors that determine hospital readmission after blunt thoracic trauma have not been sufficiently defined. We sought to identify predictors of in patients traumatic rib fractures.We performed an 8-year (2011-2019) retrospective chart review fractures who required unplanned within 30 days discharge at a Level 1 center. Patient characteristics, injury...
Functional mediastinal paragangliomas arise from extra-adrenal tissues and are rare. These cases create challenges related to diagnosis, peri-operative management, surgical management. We present a case that demonstrates planned robot-assisted thoracoscopic resection of paraganglioma ultimately required trans-sternal the tumor off left atrium.Our patient is 42-year-old male with prolonged history refractory hypertension, palpitations, headaches, diaphoresis, which led discovery subcarinal...
Background and hypothesis: The association of abnormal ventricular conduction with co-morbidities effect abnormalities on TAVR outcomes have not been well investigated. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted in 200 consecutive patients. ECG data collected stratified into normal (WNL, n=138), LBBB (n=25), RBBB (n=20), intra-ventricular delay (IVCD, n=17). Outcomes were adjudicated according to the PARTNER trial definitions (NEJM 2010; 363: 1597-1607). Analyses variation,...
