Preoperative dental screening before cardiac valve surgery is widely accepted but its required scope remains unclear. This study evaluates two preoperative (PDS) approaches, a focused approach (FocA) and comprehensive (CompA), to compare postsurgical 90-day mortality.Retrospective cohort analysis was performed on all patients who underwent at Brigham Women's Hospital with FocA Massachusetts General CompA of PDS from January 2009 December 2016. Patients intravenous drug abuse systemic...

Combined heart-liver transplantation (CHLT) is a definitive therapy reserved for patients with concomitant heart failure and advanced liver disease. A limited number of centers perform CHLT, even fewer use the en bloc implantation technique. Here we review clinical outcomes immunoprotective effects following CHLT describe our institution's more than two decades experience in performing

Abstract Objective Thoracic epidural analgesia provides effective pain control after lung transplantation; however, the optimal timing of placement is controversial. We sought to compare and pulmonary morbidity between patients receiving preoperative vs postoperative epidurals. Methods Institutional records were reviewed for undergoing a bilateral transplant via anterior thoracotomy with transverse sternotomy incision January 2014 2017. Pain was measured using visual analog scale scores...

Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are the most widely used conduit in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery; however, SVG failures due to neointimal hyperplasia present a significant long-term limitation effectiveness of myocardial revascularization. This review will provide comprehensive overview biological mechanisms graft failure, including compensatory endothelial proliferation, extracellular matrix deposition, and adventitial disruption. We discuss historical emerging strategies for...
