Comparison of Patch Materials for Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction

Graphical abstract summarizing the overall results of our study comparing reintervention for a main or central branch pulmonary artery reconstruction site and various patch materials. Autologous pericardium was associate with the lowest reintervention and was free. Multivariable analysis demonstrated lack of superiority of homograft branch patch, which clearly has a much higher cost.

Graft Patency of a Second Conduit for Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

A network meta-analysis of 13 randomized trails comparing RA, RITA, RGEA, and SVG as a second conduit in coronary artery bypass graft showed similar graft failure rates among the groups. C-SVG, conventional saphenous vein graft; IRR, incidence risk ratio; NT-SVG, no-touch saphenous vein graft; RA, radial artery; RGEA, right gastroepiploic artery; RITA, right internal thoracic artery.

Surgical Repair of Peripheral Pulmonary Artery Stenosis in Patients Without Williams or Alagille Syndromes

Peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis, as demonstrated on the preoperative angiogram, is a relatively rare form of congenital heart disease occasionally found in patients without Williams or Alagille syndromes. We reviewed our surgical experience in such patients (n = 30). With our improved surgical technique, there was a 71% reduction (P< 0.0001) in peak systolic RV/Ao pressure ratio and the RV pressure normalized postoperatively.
