Aims: This analysis aims to evaluate the budget impact of intravenous iron therapy with ferric carboxymaltose for patients with systolic chronic heart failure and iron deficiency, from the perspective of the French public health insurance.
Methods And Results: A budget impact model was adapted to forecast the budget impact over 5 years, according to two scenarios: one where patients receive ferric carboxymaltose according to market share forecast and another where patients are not treated for iron deficiency. Clinical data were extrapolated from pooled data from four randomized controlled trials.
Series evaluating the results of isolated tricuspid valve surgery (ITVS) are rare and often limited by small sample size, selection bias, and/or long period of enrollment. Based on a mandatory administrative national database, we collected all consecutive ITVS performed in France during a 2-year period (2013 and 2014), the type of intervention, clinical profile, and in-hospital mortality and complications. During the 2-year period, 241 patients underwent an ITVS in France (84 repairs and 157 replacements).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of performing intrathoracic anastomosis and/or thoracotomy on POM after esophageal cancer surgery in recent years.
Background: In France, referral centres in teaching hospitals were created 10 years ago to provide MD patients with treatments and follow-up designed to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Respiratory failure is a major cause of death among subjects with MD, and its prevention and treatment can serve as a touchstone for assessing the effectiveness of MD care pathways.
Objective: We report data from a preliminary study of admissions of MD patients in France and of factors associated with mortality, with special emphasis on respiratory failure [RF].
Objective: To investigate the impact of center volume on postoperative mortality (POM) according to patient condition.
Background: Centralization has been shown to improve POM in esophageal and, to a lesser extent, gastric cancer surgery; however, the benefit of centralization for patients with low operative risk is questionable.
Methods: All consecutive patients who underwent esophageal or gastric cancer surgery between 2010 and 2012 in France were included (N = 11,196).
