Early and long-term outcomes of re-sternotomy for aortic valve replacement with patent coronary artery grafts.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate early and long-term outcomes of re-sternotomy for aortic valve replacement (AVR) with previous patent coronary artery grafts.

Methods: Data for re-sternotomy for AVRs (group 1 isolated AVR, group 2 AVR with concomitant procedure) were collected (2000-2019). Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of in-hospital mortality and postoperative composite outcome (in-hospital death, transient ischemic attack/stroke, renal failure requiring new hemofiltration, deep sternal wound infection, re-exploration for bleeding/tamponade and length of stay >30 days).

Implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery for pancreatoduodenectomy increases the proportion of patients achieving textbook outcome: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy is associated with reduced length of stay (LOS) and morbidity. However, external validating of the impact is difficult due to the multimodal aspects of ERAS. This study aimed to assess implementation of ERAS for pancreatoduodenectomy with a composite measure of multiple ideal outcome indicators defined as 'textbook outcome' (TBO).
