Unlabelled: Type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD) is a serious condition within the acute aortic syndromes that demands immediate treatment. Despite advancements in diagnostic and referral pathways, the survival rate post-surgery currently sits at almost 20%. Our objective was to pinpoint clinical indicators for mortality and morbidity, particularly raised arterial lactate as a key factor for negative outcomes.

- TAVI has become a popular treatment option for high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, and this study compared outcomes before and after its availability in a surgical institution.
- The prevalence of high-risk patients increased significantly after TAVI was introduced, with 89% of these patients receiving TAVI in the modern era, whereas fewer received it before.
- Although high-risk patients are now older and present with more advanced symptoms, their one-year survival rates are similar across both eras, indicating TAVI's impact but not necessarily improved survival outcomes within the first year.
Sternal wound infection (SWI) after cardiac surgery remains an important problem. Prediction of pathogens involved in such infection could guide antibiotics. From April 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008, retrospectively, we evaluated the diagnostic value of preoperative methicillin-sensible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), methicillin-resistant S.
