Patient Risk-Benefit Preferences for Transcatheter Versus Surgical Mitral Valve Repair.
J Am Heart Assoc

Duke Clinical Research Institute, Duke University School of Medicine Durham NC USA.
Article Synopsis
- Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) is a less invasive option for treating mitral regurgitation but carries higher long-term mortality and reintervention risks compared to surgery.
- A survey of 201 patients showed a clear preference for TEER over surgery, even if it meant accepting greater risks of reintervention and hospitalizations.
- For patients to prefer surgery over TEER, they would require significant functional improvement, equivalent to moving from class III to class I of the New York Heart Association classification over 5 years.

Background Many hospitalized patients are not administered prescribed doses of pharmacologic venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. Methods and Results In this cluster-randomized controlled trial, all adult non-intensive care units (10 medical, 6 surgical) in 1 academic hospital were randomized to either a real-time, electronic alert-triggered, patient-centered education bundle intervention or nurse feedback intervention to evaluate their effectiveness for reducing nonadministration of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. Primary outcome was the proportion of nonadministered doses of prescribed pharmacologic prophylaxis.

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is growing in the United States, especially among the elderly. Older patients are increasingly receiving transplants as a result of HCC, but the impact of advancing age on long-term posttransplant outcomes is not clear. To study this, we used data from the US Multicenter HCC Transplant Consortium of 4980 patients.
