Abstract Aims To assess EuroSCORE performance in predicting in-hospital mortality in on-
pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting …

Context It is not known whether statin treatment improves clinical outcomes and reduces
aortic stenosis progression in non-rheumatic calcific aortic stenosis. Objective A meta …

BACKGROUND: The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation
(EuroSCORE) was developed to predict immediate outcomes after adult cardiac operations …

OBJECTIVE: The results of mitral valve repair for anterior leaflet prolapse have been less
gratifying than those reported for posterior leaflet prolapse. We compared the long-term …

BACKGROUND: Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB) is increasingly
becoming a widely used technique and challenges conventional on-pump coronary artery …

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) represents a common degenerative disease, often requiring
surgery. If untreated, MVP with considerable valve incompetence can lead to cardiovascular …

OBJECTIVE: When used for epicardial ablation, unipolar devices do not predictably yield
transmural scars. Bipolar radiofrequency proved highly effective on the animal model, but …

Prognostic variables and treatment outcomes of 82 patients treated at the Northern Israel
Oncology Center were reviewed. There were 59 women and 23 men in this series. The …

Glutaraldehyde‐fixed pericardium of animal origin is the elective material for the fabrication
of bio‐prosthetic valves for surgical replacement of insufficient/stenotic cardiac valves …

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of linear and geometric left
ventricular aneurysm reconstruction on early postoperative outcomes. METHODS: A search …
