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. The majority require explant of the TAVR device and SAVR, which significantly increases the risk of operative mortality and stroke. More than 5,500 multi-valve procedures were performed in the U.S.

Impact of Lipoprotein(a) on Valvular and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundLp(a) (lipoprotein(a)) is an independent risk factor for calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. Whether patients with CAVS and high Lp(a) levels are at higher risk of valvular or cardiovascular events is unknown. The maximal followup time was set to 5 years.

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.
