TL;DR: Subclinical leaflet thrombosis was associated with increased rates of transient ischaemic attacks on the basis of two registries of patients who had CT imaging done after TAVR or SAVR and persisted in 20 (91%) of 22 patients not receiving anticoagulants.

TL;DR: PHM is the optimal donor-recipient size match metric for prediction of mortality after heart transplant and many offers turned down for donor size were above the threshold for adequacy of size match, and thus, the use of PHM could improve donor heart utilization and post-transplant survival.

TL;DR: The routine insertion of concomitant IABP with ECMO is not supported by the findings, and evidence for the additive benefit of IABp therapy is limited and conflicting in part due to small sample sizes.

TL;DR: Patients receiving TAHs have rapidly declining cardiac function and require prompt intervention and Experienced centers have better outcomes, likely related to patient selection, timing of implantation, patient care, and device management.

TL;DR: The majority of complications and reoperations occurred early in the experience, especially using the first-generation da Vinci robot, which has made robotic-assisted mitral repair of all types of degenerative mitral valve pathology reproducible.
