Our meta-analysis of 30,524 patients revealed: 📌 No difference in perioperative mortality 📉 Lower stroke rates with mini-thoracotomy 🔄 Higher reoperation for bleeding with mini-thoracotomy ⏳ Longer operative duration with mini-thoracotomy

❗️New Evidence in Minimally Invasive AVR Minimally invasive AVR is here to stay, but which approach is superior — mini-sternotomy or right anterior mini-thoracotomy?

🫀TAVI is associated with⬇️postop. delirium compared to SAVR without compromising major outcomes ❗️It could implicate that delirium is either not as relevant in SAVR, or is not a causal factor, but only a surrogate for identifying sicker patients 👉More: shorturl.at/5HqYE

🔥New @escardio guidelines for #Aortic diseases are out and I am glad to see the work developed during my recent aortic fellowship under @IbrahimSultanMD and @DSGMD at @UPMC_CTSurgery making its way into the guidelines. Important information about #TEVAR in #AorticDissection #IMH

#SAVR vs. #TAVR in patients ≤60 y in California: ✅ #TAVR increase from 7.2% to 45% ✅ 30d mortality similar (0.2% vs 0.4%) ✅ 5y hazard for mortality: HR 2.5, 95% CI 1.1-3.7, p=0.02 ✅ reoperation almost double with #TAVI (2.2% vs 3.8%, p=0.25) ⅓ annalsthoracicsurgery.org/article/S0003-…
