Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess how socioeconomic deprivation affects postoperative outcomes in patients who have undergone surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis (SD).
- Conducted across 41 French hospitals from 2010 to 2021, researchers found that 20% of the 6,415 patients experienced severe complications within 90 days post-surgery.
- Results indicated that higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation are linked to an increased risk of severe complications, even after adjusting for factors like age, sex, and surgery type.
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) neochordae are predominantly used for mitral valve repair (MVr), while the frequency of their employment in tricuspid valve surgery is not well assessed. We have performed a review of the available literature to verify incidence, indications, techniques, and outcomes of the use of artificial neochordae in a variety of tricuspid valve pathologies. We found a total of 57 articles reporting the use of ePTFE sutures in patients in whom tricuspid valve repair (TVr) was performed.

They often manifest as solitary lesions without distinct clinical symptoms, usually identified incidentally during radiologic imaging for the surveillance of prior malignancies. Differentiating these lesions from primary pancreatic tumors presents a significant challenge due to their nonspecific presentation.
