Abstract
Background The association between low socioeconomic status (SES) and worse surgical outcomes has become an emerging area of interest. Literature has demonstrated that carotid artery stenting (CAS) poses greater risk of postoperative complications, particularly stroke, than carotid endarterectomy (CEA). This study aims to compare the impact of low SES on patients undergoing CAS vs. CEA. Methods The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried for patients undergoing CAS and CEA from 2010 to 2015. Patients were stratified by highest and lowest median income quartiles by zip code and compared through demographics, hospital characteristics, and comorbidities defined by the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes included acute kidney injury (AKI), post-operative stroke, sepsis, and bleeding requiring reoperation.Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the effect of SES on outcomes. Results Five thousand four hundred twenty-five patients underwent CAS (Low SES: 3,516 (64.8%); High SES: 1,909 (35.2%) and 38,399 patients underwent CEA (Low SES: 22,852 (59.5%); High SES: 15,547 (40.5%). Low SES was a significant independent predictor of mortality [OR = 2.07 (1.25-3.53); p = 0.005] for CEA patients, but not for CAS patients [OR = 1.21 (CI 0.51-2.30); p = 0.68]. Stroke was strongly associated with low SES, CEA patients (Low SES = 1.5% vs. High SES = 1.2%; p = 0.03), while bleeding was with high SES, CAS patients (Low SES = 5.3% vs. High SES = 7.1%; p = 0.01). CCI was a strong predictor of mortality for both procedures [CAS: OR1.45 (1.17-1.80); p < 0.001. CEA: OR1.60 (1.45-1.77); p < 0.001]. Advanced age was a predictor of mortality post-CEA [OR = 1.03 (1.01-1.06); p = 0.01]. While not statistically significant, advanced age and increased mortality trended towards a positive association in CAS [OR = 1.05 (1.00-1.10); p = 0.05]. Conclusions Low SES is a significant independent predictor of post-operative mortality in patients who underwent CEA, but not CAS. CEA is also associated with higher incidence of stroke in low SES patients. Findings demonstrate the impact of SES on outcomes for patients undergoing carotid revascularization procedures. Prospective studies are warranted to further evaluate this disparity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We sought to compare outcomes after early discharge in patients with and without predischarge diagnosis of arrhythmia following minimally invasive valve surgery (MIVS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed ambulatory electrocardiography (AECG) datasheets and medical records of patients discharged with 14-d AECG monitoring from our facility between October 2019 and March 2022 ≤ 3 d after MIVS. Baseline and clinical characteristics, arrhythmias during AECG monitoring, and 30-d adverse outcomes were reported for the population and stratified by presence or absence of predischarge arrhythmia. RESULTS Of 41 patients discharged ≤3 d postoperatively of MIVS, 17 (41.5%) experienced predischarge arrhythmias and 24 (58.5%) did not. The population was predominantly male and White with a median age of 62 y [57, 70]. Baseline and clinical characteristics did not differ between subgroups. Most patients (92.7% [n = 38]) experienced one or more tachyarrhythmias during the AECG monitoring period. There were similar proportions of patients experiencing atrial fibrillation in both groups, but patients with predischarge arrhythmias had higher burden of atrial fibrillation on AECG monitoring (27.60% [6.57%, 100%] versus 1.65% [0.76%, 4.32%]; P = 0.004). The predischarge arrhythmia subgroup had higher proportions of patients experiencing nonsustained ventricular tachycardia but lower proportions experiencing supraventricular tachycardia. There were no mortalities within 30 d of surgery. Six (14.6%) patients were readmitted within 30 d with equal proportions of readmissions between subgroups (P = 0.662). CONCLUSIONS Early discharge timelines and noninvasive monitoring techniques can allow patients to return to their normal activities quicker in the comfort of their own home with no increased risk of morbidity or mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Professional coaching has been utilized in the military and private sector with a long track record of optimizing efficiency, improving high-functioning team performance, and creating greater satisfaction among the workforce. Recent studies in physician populations have suggested that coaching may protect healthcare providers from burnout and improve quality of life and resilience. The aims of the current study were to describe our single-institution experience with the introduction of a leadership coaching program among surgical residents and to characterize the nature of the common reasons for referral for coaching. METHODS Upon identification by program faculty that a resident would benefit from coaching, an email was sent from the program director to the coach to establish contact between the coach and resident, with a brief synopsis of the factors that lead to the resident being referred for coaching. The study team obtained deidentified, simplified synopses of the initial email correspondences from program leadership reaching out to residents to refer them to coaching. Common recurring themes were quantified. Later, coaches reviewed their notes kept during coaching sessions and, in a similar fashion, identified topics discussed and skills developed in coaching sessions for each resident. Topics were summarized for each resident, and a deidentified list of residents and the themes reviewed in coaching were provided to the study team, who quantified these topics. Baseline demographic information on the resident cohort, including training level, gender, and number of repeat referrals were summarized to delineate differences in patterns of repeat referral and attrition. RESULTS This study was conducted within the general surgery residency program at a single academic medical center, composed of 43 categorical and 8 preliminary residents. Over a 2.5-year period, 21 residents were referred: 5 chief, 8 senior, 5 midlevel, and 3 junior (1 preliminary) residents. Male residents represented 2/3 and female residents 1/3 of the total number of referrals. There were 3 repeat referrals, 2 male and 1 female. We identified 2 overarching reasons for which residents were referred for coaching: request for structured leadership training and request for communication training. Six themes were identified upon review of referrals for coaching. Among these were the need for improved communication, methods to improve team integration, tools to balance professional and personal responsibilities, and practices to improve confidence and assertiveness. Through the coaching relationship, residents reviewed deficits and received an individualized plan to address newly identified problem areas. Upon initiation of coaching, new themes like anxiety management, emotional intelligence, and cultural acclimatization were identified. During each coaching session, residents participate in exercises designed to build habits of effective listening, communication, and conflict resolution. CONCLUSIONS Coaching in surgical residency provides a structured program for residents to develop skills in planning and orchestrating team operations, listening and communicating effectively, mitigating conflict, and managing professional and personal responsibilities. Follow-up studies will focus on the long-term effects of professional coaching, evaluating survey data from self-assessments and professional evaluations.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) on resource utilization, cost, and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing left-heart valve operations. Methods Data were retrospectively reviewed for patients undergoing single-valve surgery (eg, aortic valve replacement, mitral valve replacement, or mitral valve repair) at a single center from 2018 to 2021, stratified by surgical approach: MICS vs full sternotomy (FS). Baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes were compared. Primary outcome was high resource utilization, defined as direct procedure cost higher than the third quartile or either postoperative LOS ≥7 days or 30-day readmission. Secondary outcomes were direct cost, length of stay, 30-day readmission, in-hospital and 30-day mortality, and major morbidity. Multiple regression analysis was conducted, controlling for baseline characteristics, operative approach, valve operation, and lead surgeon to assess high resource utilization. Results MICS was correlated with a significantly lower rate of high resource utilization (MICS, 31.25% [n = 115] vs FS 61.29% [n = 76]; P < .001). Median postoperative length of stay (MICS, 4 days [range, 3-6 days] vs FS, 6 days [range, 4 to 9 days]; P < .001) and direct cost (MICS, $22,900 [$19,500-$28,600] vs FS, $31,900 [$25,900-$50,000]; P < .001) were lower in the MICS group. FS patients were more likely to experience postoperative atrial fibrillation (P = .040) and renal failure (P = .027). Other outcomes did not differ between groups. Controlling for stratified Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality, cardiac valve operation, and lead surgeon, FS demonstrated increased likelihood of high resource utilization (P < .001). Conclusions MICS for left-heart valve pathology demonstrated improved postoperative outcomes and resource utilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Constrictive pericarditis is a rare complication of open heart surgery (OHS), but little is known regarding the etiologic determinants, and prognostic factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical predictors and long term prognosis of post-operative constrictive pericarditis (CP). METHODS Using the Myocardial Infarction Data Acquisition System database, we analyzed records of 142,837 patients who were admitted for OHS in New Jersey hospitals between 1995 and 2015. Ninety-one patients were hospitalized with CP 30 days or longer after discharge from OHS. Differences in proportions were analyzed using Chi square tests. Controls were matched to cases for demographics, surgical procedure type, history of OHS, and propensity score. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the risk of all-cause death. Log-rank tests and Cox models were used to assess differences in the Kaplan-Meier survival curves with and without adjustments for comorbidities. RESULTS Patients with CP were more likely to have history of valve disease (VD, p < 0.001), atrial fibrillation (AF, p = 0.024) renal disease (CKD, p = 0.028), hemodialysis (HD, p = 0.008), previous OHS (p < 0.001). Patients with CP compared to matched controls had a higher 7-year mortality (p < 0.001). This difference became statistically significant at 1-year after surgery. CONCLUSION CP is a rare complication of OHS that occurs more frequently in patients with VD, AF, CKD, HD, multiple OHS, and it is associated with an unfavorable long-term prognosis. Given the large number of OHS performed every year, the results highlight the need for clinicians to recognize and properly manage this complication of OHS.
