TL;DR: Use of the Starr-Edwards and Björk-Shiley prosthesis is associated with satisfactory functional improvement and similar long-term survival rate, however, the increased risk of valve failure due to late thrombotic occlusion of the BjörK-Sh Riley prosthesis should be considered when choosing a mechanical mitral prosthesis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that prepectoral breast reconstruction is safe in an irradiated patient population, and in fact compares favorably with regard to breast contracture, and when subpectoral patients present with breast contractures, chemoparalysis of the muscle alone can resolve breast asymmetry, corroborating that muscle is a key contributor to breastcontracture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revisions in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: How Does Direct-to-Implant Measure Up?
TL;DR: Surgical complications, radiotherapy, and the surgeon influenced the rate of revision similarly in both groups, similar to the revision rate in tissue expander/implant reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Valve replacement for aortic regurgitation: long-term follow-up with factors influencing the results.
TL;DR: The data suggest that evidence of left ventricular failure, even of mild degree, is an indication for operation in patients with severe aortic regurgitation.
