TL;DR: The results suggest that a-TAVI in its present form may be associated with complications and device success rates in low- risk patients similar or even inferior to those found in high-risk patients with aortic valve stenosis.

TL;DR: The WDHR is a valuable research tool because it provides ongoing longitudinal registration of detailed patient and procedural data and allows complete follow-up for medical events after cardiac intervention by linkage with multiple medical databases.

TL;DR: Sevoflurane appears to be superior to propofol in patients with little or no ischemic heart disease, such as noncoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and CABG surgery without severe preoperative ischemia, whereas prop ofol seems superior in patientsWith severe ischemIA, cardiovascular instability, or in acute/urgent surgery.

TL;DR: Perioperative oral beta-blockade can reduce the frequency of atrial fibrillation without serious side effects and increased sympathetic activity is one of the predominant factors in the cause of this complication.

TL;DR: Long-term follow-up of low-risk patients undergoing simple cardiac surgery demonstrates a more than 10% higher mortality when receiving perioperative RBC transfusion, independent of up till six units of RBC.
