Multi-Valve Surgery Risk Calculator

Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Congenital

STS leveraged contemporary national data from the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database between July 2017 and December 2023 to analyze outcomes of 32,938 patients that underwent multi-valve surgery involving replacement of the aortic valve, plus replacement or repair of the mitral valve, with and without concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting.

TMVR after TA-TAVR: a re-redo surgery—case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionTranscatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a valuable treatment option in patients with severe mitral regurgitation. Prior transapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TA-TAVR) may complicate the procedure and is therefore considered a relative contraindication.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Launches New Valve Surgery Risk Calculators

DAIC

SAVR after TAVR Surgical aortic valve replacement after prior TAVR is the fastest-growing cardiac surgery procedure in the U.S. More than 5,500 multi-valve procedures were performed in the U.S. in 2023, of which 60% included double valve replacements, and 25% involved concomitant CABG.

Staten Island University Hospital's Cardiothoracic Program Achieves Prestigious STS Three-Star Quality Ratings

DAIC

It evaluates performance in five surgical categories, including isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery, CABG + AVR surgery, isolated mitral valve repair/replacement (MVRR), and CABG + mitral valve replacement/repair surgery (CABG + MVRR).

Cardiovascular Surgery at the Mount Sinai Hospital Wins Highest Quality National Ratings from Society of Thoracic Surgeons

DAIC

It uses a three-star scale (3=better than expected, 2=as expected, 1=worse than expected) to rate institutions across five common cardiovascular procedures: coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); aortic valve replacement (AVR); AVR and CABG; mitral valve replacement/repair (MVRR); and MVRR and CABG.

Minimally Invasive Options For High-Risk Heart Surgery

MIBHS

Also referred to as least invasive valve surgery (LIV), it involves a small incision in the chest that allows a surgeon to view the valve and make the repair. The mitral valve repair and replacement procedure is when a surgeon makes a small incision in the chest to repair or replace the malfunctioning heart valve.

What Is The Difference Between Minithoracotomy And Ministernotomy

MIBHS

It is commonly used for various cardiac and thoracic procedures , including but not limited to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), mitral valve repair or replacement, and lung surgeries. Incision Placement One of the primary distinctions of minithoracotomy is the location of the incision.
