TL;DR: EuroSCORE II demonstrated good discriminative capacity and poor calibration in the patients undergoing major cardiac surgery at the centre and both scales showed a good discrim inative capacity for all the pathologies subgroups.

TL;DR: It is concluded that conventional open AVR for degenerative aortic stenosis grants good early- and mid-term outcomes in octogenarians in the experience.

TL;DR: An 83-year-old patient who underwent a transapical aortic valve implantation and was readmitted to her institution because of fever and heart failure died shortly after the diagnosis of prosthetic aortsic valve endocarditis.

TL;DR: TAVR and SAVR have similar short and long-term all-cause mortality and risk of stroke among patients of moderate or high surgical risk and TAVR decreases the risk of major bleeding, acute kidney injury and improves haemodynamic performance compared with S AVR but increases the risk with vascular complications, the need for a pacemaker and residual aortic regurgitation.

TL;DR: In this subset of patients, a higher SYNTAX Score was associated with a higher incidence of in-hospital and follow-up major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events after coronary artery bypass grafting, but not with early or late mortality.
