Abstract
Background: National data about the outcomes of children undergoing mechanical mitral valve replacement (m-MVR) are scarce. Methods: A retrospective review of hospitalizations from the Kids' Inpatient Database was performed for patients ≤18 years of age in the United States. A total of 500 patients underwent m-MVR in 2009, 2012, 2016, and 2019. Patients with single ventricle physiology were excluded (n = 13). These patients were categorized into three groups according to age: neonates (<1 month, n = 20), infants (1-12 months, n = 76 patients), and children (1-18 years, n = 404). Outcomes were compared between the three groups. Results: The proportion of m-MVR involving children undergoing MV procedures (repair and replacement) has increased from 17.3% in 2009 to 30.8% in 2019 (Ptrend < .01). History of cardiac surgery was present in 256 patients (51.2%). Concomitant procedures were performed in 119 patients (23.8%). Intra- or postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was required in 19 patients (3.8%). The overall in-hospital mortality was 4.8% and was significantly higher in neonates and infants compared with older children (10% vs 11.8% vs 3.2%, P = .003). The length of hospital stay was longer in the neonatal group (median, 57 days, interquartile range, [24.8-90] vs 29.5 days [15.5-61] vs 10 days [7-18], P < .01). Nonhome discharges were more common in neonates and infants (40% vs 36.8% vs 13.1%, P < .01). Conclusion: Mechanical mitral valve replacement is increasingly performed over time with acceptable in-hospital morbidity and mortality, especially in older children and adolescents. Neonates and infants are associated with worse hospital survival, prolonged hospitalization, and significant rates of nonhome discharges.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular surgical outcomes reports are few for vascular type IV of Ehlers- Danlos Syndrome (vEDS) compared to non-vascular types I-III (nEDS). METHODS To define cardiovascular surgical outcomes among adult patients (≥18 years) with EDS types, a review of our institution's in-house STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database-compliant software and electronic medical records from Mayo Clinic (1993-2019) was performed. Outcomes were compared for vEDS patients and nEDS patients. Demographics, baseline characteristics, operative, in-hospital complications and follow-up vital status were analyzed. RESULTS Over the study time frame, 48 EDS patients underwent surgery (mean age 52.6 ± 14.6 years; 48% females). Of these, 17 patients had vEDS and 31 patients had nEDS. Six patients (12.5%) underwent prior sternotomy. Urgent or emergent surgery was performed in 10 patients (20.8%). Aortic (vEDS 76.5% vs. nEDS 16.1%) and mitral procedures (vEDS 11.8% vs. nEDS 48.4%) were the two most common cardiovascular surgeries performed (p < .01 and p = .007, respectively). Cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPB) (165 ± 18 vs. 90 ± 13 min; p = .015) and aortic cross clamp times (140 ± 14 vs. 62 ± 10 min; p < .001) were longer for vEDS patients. There was 1 (2.1%) early and 7 (14.6%) late deaths; 6 among vEDS and 2 among nEDS patients. Survival at 5 (80% vs. 93%), 10 (45% vs. 84%) and 15 years (45% vs. 84%) was lower in patients with vEDS (p = .015 for each comparison). CONCLUSION Cardiovascular surgeries are significantly more complex with longer bypass and cross clamp times for type IV vEDS compared to nEDS patients. Reduced overall survival underscores the complexity and fragility of vEDS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors for pediatric mechanical mitral valve replacement (mMVR) to improve management in this challenging population. METHODS From 1993 to 2019, 93 children underwent 119 mMVR operations (median age, 8.8 years [interquartile range [IQR]: 2.1-13.3], 54.6% females) at our institution. Twenty-six (21.8%) patients underwent mMVR at ≤2 years and 93 (78.2%) patients underwent mMVR at >2 years. Median follow-up duration was 7.6 years [IQR: 3.2-12.4]. RESULTS Early mortality was 9.7%, but decreased with time and was 0% in the most recent era (13.9% from 1993 to 2000, 7.3% from 2001 to 2010, 0% from 2011 to 2019, P = .04). It was higher in patients ≤2 years compared to patients >2 years (26.9% vs 2.2%, P < .01). On multivariable analysis for mitral valve reoperation, valve size <23 mm was significant with a hazard ratio of 5.38 (4.87-19.47, P = .01);. Perioperative stroke occurred in 1% and permanent pacemaker was necessary in 12%. Freedom from mitral valve reoperation was higher in patients >2 years and those with a prosthesis ≥23 mm. Median time to reoperation was 7 years (IQR: 4.5-9.1) in patients >2 years and 3.5 years (IQR: 0.6-7.1) in patients ≤2 years (P = .0511), but was similar between prosthesis sizes (P = .6). During follow-up period (median 7.6 years [IQR: 3.2-12.4], stroke occurred in 10%, prosthetic valve thrombosis requiring reoperation in 4%, endocarditis in 3%, and bleeding in 1%. CONCLUSION Early and late outcomes of mMVR in children are improved when performed at age >2 years and with prosthesis size ≥23 mm. These factors should be considered in the timing of mMVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed sternal closure (DSC) is a management strategy for hemodynamic instability and severe coagulopathy after complex congenital heart surgery. We hypothesized that DSC results in better outcomes than perioperative sternal reopening. METHODS We reviewed patients aged <18 years old undergoing cardiac surgery 2007-2017 at our institution. A total of 179 patients (3.8%) had primary DSC (PDSC, sternum left open after initial operation) and 45 patients (0.9%) had secondary DSC (SDSC, sternum closed primarily and reopened perioperatively). Perioperative characteristics and outcomes among PDSC ≤2 days (98 patients), PDSC >2 days (81 patients), and SDSC (45 patients) were analyzed. RESULTS Median age was 120 days (range, 3-6553 days) and median DSC duration was 2 days (range, 1-60 days). The PDSC >2 days group was the youngest group, and the distribution of procedures was different between groups. Indications for DSC were hemodynamic instability in 152 patients (67.9%) and severe coagulopathy in 33 patients (14.7%), with no difference between groups (P = .141). Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use was higher in the PDSC >2 days group than the other groups (47.5% vs 7.1%, P < .01 and 47.5% vs 28.9%, P = .02), respectively. Operative mortality was higher in SDSC compared to the other groups (17.8% vs 0% for PDSC ≤2 and 6.2% for PDSC >2 days, P < .01). Hospital stay was longer in SDSC (57 ± 7 days) than PDSC ≤2 days (22 ± 5 days) and PDSC >2 days (44 ± 6, P = .01). Survival was better in PDSC regardless of duration than SDSC. CONCLUSIONS PDSC demonstrated better outcomes than SDSC. Sternal reopening can be life-saving, but, when anticipated, PDSC can yield better outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ideal surgical reconstruction of the aortic root in patients with complex endocarditis is controversial. We compared the short- and long-term outcomes between mechanical valves, bioprostheses, and homografts. METHODS We identified all patients undergoing an operation for active complex aortic endocarditis at our institution between 2003 and 2017. We grouped patients according to those who received a mechanical valve, bioprosthesis, or homograft. We used multiple logistic regression and proportional hazards models. To minimize confounding by indication, we used marginal risk adjustment to simulate that every patient would undergo (contrary to fact) all 3 operations. RESULTS Of 159 patients with complex active endocarditis, 48 (30.2%) had a valve plus patch reconstruction, and 85 (53.4%) had a root replacement. Of all, 50 (31.5%) had a mechanical valve, 56 (35.2%) had a bioprosthesis, and 53 (33.3%) had a homograft. The groups were similar in age, sex, body mass index, comorbid conditions, organism, abscess location, and mitral involvement (all P > .05). However, patients receiving mechanical reconstructions were more likely to have native valve endocarditis (46% vs 37.5% vs 17%; P = .005) and less likely to undergo root replacement (32% vs 28.6% vs 100%; P < .001). Marginal risk-adjusted operative mortality was lowest for mechanical valves (4.8%) and highest for homografts (16.9%; P = .041). Long-term survival after root replacement was worse with homografts than with mechanical valve conduits (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.9; P = .045). CONCLUSIONS In patients with complex endocarditis, mechanical valves are associated with similar, if not better, short- and long-term outcomes compared with homografts, even after adjusting for important baseline characteristics and limiting the analysis to root replacements only.

Abstract
The frequency, characteristics and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are unknown. Adult patients hospitalized with a principle diagnosis of acute COPD exacerbation were identified using retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2003 to 2016. Patients were stratified into 2-groups with and without a secondary diagnosis of AMI. The study's endpoints were in-hospital morbidity, mortality, and resource utilization. We also assessed the impact of invasive management strategy on the same end-points. We included 6 894 712 hospitalizations, of which 56 515 (0.82%) were complicated with AMIs. Patients with AMI were older, and had higher prevalence of known coronary disease (48.9% vs. 27.4%), atrial fibrillation (23.3% vs. 15.2%), heart failure (47.8% vs. 26.2%), and anemia (20.7% vs. 14.8%) (p < 0.001). Rates of oxygen dependence were similar (16.3% vs. 16.1%, p = 0.24). In 56 486 propensity-matched pairs of patients with and without AMI, mortality was higher in the AMI group (12.1% vs. 2.1%, p < 0.001). Rates of major morbidities, non-home discharge, and cost were all higher in the AMI group. A minority (18.1%) of patients with AMI underwent invasive assessment, and those had lower in-hospital mortality before (4.9% vs. 13.8%) and after (5.0% vs. 10.0%) propensity-score matching (p < 0.001). This lower mortality persisted in a sensitivity analysis accounting for immortal time bias. AMI complicates ∼1% of patients admitted with acute COPD exacerbation, and those have worse outcomes than those without AMI. Invasive management for secondary AMI during acute COPD exacerbation may be associated with improved outcomes but is utilized in <20% of patients.
