Article Synopsis
- Aortic valve reconstruction surgery (Ozaki procedure) is a promising alternative to traditional aortic valve replacement, showing good medium-term results in a study of 37 patients.
- Most patients had AV stenosis, primarily due to a bicuspid valve, and additional surgery was often required for related conditions.
- The procedure had a low in-hospital death rate, with significant improvements in aortic valve function and high survival rates during follow-up, indicating its effectiveness and safety.

Article Synopsis
- CABG surgery using bilateral internal mammary arteries (BIMA) shows improved long-term survival rates in patients with multivessel coronary disease.
- A study conducted at INCOR, Peru, from 2012 to 2015 found that among 36 CABG patients, the 30-day mortality rate was 0% and major cardiovascular events occurred in only 5.56%.
- The results suggest that CABG with BIMA is a safe option with low risk of mortality and complications shortly after surgery, making it a viable choice for patients.
