Introduction:  A comparison between sublobar resection and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in the treatment of lung cancer is a trending topic. However, there is still a lack of strong randomized controlled trials on this subject. We believe that the National Cancer Registry can provide good insight into decision-making when comparing these two modalities of treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed 998 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for left main coronary artery (LMCA) from 2007 to 2022, focusing on mortality predictors and trends.
  • Key findings showed that older age and conditions like myocardial infarction, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease worsened prognosis, while higher ejection fraction and use of intravascular imaging led to better outcomes.
  • Overall, the rate of LMCA PCI increased over the years, short-term mortality improved, but longer-term prognosis showed a trend toward worsening, highlighting the need to address multimorbidity in patients.

Impact of Sex on Long-Term Outcomes Following Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement.

Heart Lung Circ

September 2024

Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Electronic address:

Background: The impact of sex on outcomes following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remains unclear. It has been proposed that females experience inferior outcomes, but this has yet to be conclusively established, particularly in the long term. The objective of this study is to identify discrepancies in postoperative outcomes between males and females following SAVR to better inform consideration for surgical intervention.
