The Melody Valve in Small Children Undergoing First Mitral Valve Replacement: Better Than Mechanical?
Ann Thorac Surg Short Rep
September 2024
Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Children's Medical Center, Dallas, Texas.
Background: In small children with left atrioventricular valve dysfunction, valve repair is preferred but some will require valve replacement. No prosthetic valve has growth potential, bioprostheses have poor durability, and mechanical prostheses have high rates of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. We reviewed our experience with a modified bovine jugular vein valve designed for use in the right ventricular outflow tract (Melody valve, Medtronic) and compared this with contemporary mechanical valve replacement.

December 2024
Department of Emergency Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou 215000, Jiangsu, China.
Objectives: Venous thromboembolism is a highly prevalent condition after polytrauma, and recognized as an important factor contributing to poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT) in a severely traumatized population and to evaluate their predictive value for LEDVT.
Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center observational study.
Impact of Preoperative Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist on Outcomes Following Major Surgery.

January 2025
Department of Surgery, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and James Comprehensive Cancer Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA.
Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are increasingly being used for the management of diabetes mellitus and obesity. We sought to define the impact of preoperative GLP-1RA use on outcomes following major surgical procedures.
Methods: Patients who underwent a major surgical procedure between 2013 and 2021 were identified using the IBM MarketScan database.
