Objective: To analyze operative outcomes and mid-term results after isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) in low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG AS) by comparing the 2 subcategories (classic low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis [CLFLG] and paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis [PLFLG]).
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data for all isolated AVR in LFLG AS performed in our center during the last 13 years (n = 198; CLFLG AS, n = 66, 33% and PLFLG AS, n = 132, 67%). Median follow-up was 3.
Background: The cardiothoracic surgical (CTS) specialty has witnessed a decline in the applicant pool. Early exposure, positive experiences, inspiring role models, and career insight are key in the decision-making process for specialty choice. Our objective was to assess the effect of high tutor:student ratio interactive CTS workshops in influencing the career choice of UK undergraduate medical students.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of data for all isolated AVRs performed for AS at our centre in the last 17 years (n = 846). Two groups were identified: LFLG AS (n = 198, 23%) [subdivided into: True LFLG AS (n = 66, 33%) and paradoxical LFLG AS (n = 132, 67%)] and NFHG AS (n = 648, 77%).
