Transcatheter edge to edge compared with surgery in older patients with degenerative mitral valve regurgitation.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Cardiology Bichat, AP-HP, Paris, France.
Objectives: Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is an alternative for patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR). The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes of surgery and TEER in older patients with degenerative MR patients using real life data.
Methods: Consecutives older patients (≥ 65 years-old), with severe symptomatic, degenerative MR requiring surgery or TEER between 2013 and 2023 were included.
Neurodevelopmental Outcomes after Multiple General Anesthetic Exposures before 5 Years of Age: A Cohort Study.

Background: The general anaesthesia or awake-regional anaesthesia in infancy (GAS) trial demonstrated evidence that most neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 and 5 yr of age in infants who received a single general anesthetic for elective inguinal herniorrhaphy were clinically equivalent when compared to infants who did not receive general anesthesia. More than 20% of the children in the trial had at least one subsequent anesthetic exposure after their initial surgery. Using the GAS database, this study aimed to address whether multiple (two or more) general anesthetic exposures compared to one or no general anesthetic exposure in early childhood were associated with worse neurodevelopmental outcomes at 5 yr.

Prostatic urethral lift (UroLift) is a budding minimally invasive technique that utilises mechanical manipulation of the prostate tissue so that the urethra is free from compression, thereby creating a channel for the outflow of urine. The aim of the audit was to assess the short- to medium-term outcomes in our centre in terms of improvement in symptoms, quality of life (QoL) and complication rates.

J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg

Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, IL, United States. Electronic address:
The timing of nerve blocks for amputation surgery with immediate targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) has been disputed. Traditional practices often defer nerve blocks until post-amputation, fearing interference with motor nerve target identification for TMR. Here, we present a case series demonstrating that pre-amputation regional nerve blocks do not prevent the identification of motor nerve targets.

Article Synopsis
- Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a serious risk for patients on oral anticoagulants, and there's a need for biomarkers to evaluate the effectiveness of reversal agents like activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC).
- A study was conducted in an emergency department with adult patients experiencing factor Xa inhibitor-related ICH to assess changes in thromboelastography (TEG) following aPCC reversal.
- Results showed a significant decrease in TEG R-time shortly after aPCC administration, but it returned to baseline levels by 12 and 24 hours, suggesting TEG R-time could be a valuable biomarker to monitor anticoagulation effects in these patients.
