Limited Access to Aortic Valve Procedures in Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Areas

Journal of the American Heart Association

We estimate the relationship between local deprivation ranking and differences in volumes of aortic valve replacement, which include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), versus coronary artery bypass graft surgery and laparoscopic colectomy (LC).

Rationale and Design of the mTECH?Rehab Randomized Controlled Trial: Impact of a Mobile Technology Enabled Corrie Cardiac Rehabilitation Program on Functional Status and Cardiovascular Health

Journal of the American Heart Association

This study is designed to evaluate the Corrie Hybrid CR, a technology‐based, multicomponent health equity‐focused intervention as an alternative to traditional in‐center CR among patients recovering from a cardiac event, surgery, or procedure compared with usual care alone.MethodsThe mTECH‐Rehab (Impact of a Mobile Technology Enabled Corrie CR Program) (..)

New Legislation Speeds Progress on Patient Access to New Technologies

Society of Thoracic Surgeons - Technology

Removing these barriers would allow surgeons, physicians, hospitals, health systems, and others to conduct longitudinal analyses and gain new insights into long-term outcomes for patients undergoing procedures such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)—the most common operation performed by cardiac surgeons.

Abstract 4145983: Non-Invasive Optical Brain Pulse Monitoring In High-Risk Cardiac Surgery

Circulation

The challenge, however, is that early detection is limited by currently available monitoring technologies. Three patients had simultaneous procedures: one mitral valve repair and one left atrial appendage ligation.Results:Cardiopulmonary bypass time ranged from 68 to 151 minutes, with 53 to 120 minutes of cross-clamp time.
