Background: The 30-day all-cause readmission rate after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) vary substantially. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the overall incidence, causes, and risk factors of 30-day all-cause readmission rate after SAVR and TAVR.
Methods: Eight medical research databases were searched; Cochrane, Medline, Embase, UpToDate, PROSPERO, National Guideline Clearinghouse, SweMed and Oria. We followed The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) for this study.
Results: Thirty-three articles were included in the systematic review, 32 of which were appropriate for the meta-analysis. Overall, 17% (95% CI: 16-18%) of patients in the SAVR group, and 16% (95% CI: 15-18%) in the TAVR groups were readmitted within 30 days. Heart failure, arrhythmia, infection, and respiratory problems were the most frequent causes of all-cause readmission after SAVR and TAVR. Most frequent reported prior risk factors for all-cause readmission following TAVR were diabetes, chronic lung disease/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atrial fibrillation, kidney problems, and transapical approach/nonfemoral access. For SAVR, no risk factors for 30-day all-cause readmission were reported in the literature to date.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the overall proportion of 30-day all-cause readmission after SAVR and TAVR are high. Interventions to prevent avoidable readmissions ought to be developed and implemented.

Background: Low family socio-economic status is a known factor that can contribute to increased mortality for patients with cardiovascular disease. However, in developing countries, the prognostic impact of socio-economic level on pediatric HTx is unclear.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of children younger than 18 years who underwent heart transplantation (HTx) at our center from October 1, 2005, to May 31, 2023.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated Black-vs-White disparities in postoperative outcomes following primary metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). With the rising prevalence of MBS, it is important to examine racial disparities using quality indicators in primary and revisional procedures. This study explores Black-vs-White disparities in postoperative outcomes following primary and revisional MBS.

Objective: This meta-analysis aims to assess the impact of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on the clinical prognosis of patients with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER).
Methods: As of August 2024, relevant studies were identified through searches of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase databases. A comprehensive screening process was conducted, with quality assessment performed utilizing the Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS).

Background: Identifying and eliminating health disparities is a public health priority. The goal of this analysis is to determine whether cardiac testing or outcome disparities exist by race or sex in patients with detectable to mildly elevated serum troponin.
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the CMR-IMPACT trial that randomized patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome and a detectable or mildly elevated troponin measure from 4 US hospitals to an early invasive angiography or cardiac MRI strategy.
