LeAAPS™ is the largest randomized clinical trial in the history of cardiac surgery. Designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of surgical LAA exclusion for preventing strokes in cardiac surgery patients with no history of Afib, LeAAPS could change the lives of thousands.

The Department of Surgery at Jefferson Health Abington identified an opportunity to revise its time-out policy when there is a change in surgical modality, such as minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic or robotic) to open surgery. When there is a pivot from one procedure to another, a mandatory second time-out will occur. This is an innovative solution to a low-volume, high-risk situation and puts patient safety first.

This article in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery evaluates the real-world evidence for differences between races in the outcomes of thrombectomy for large vessel occlusions using the NeuroVascular Quality Initiative-Quality Outcomes Database. https://bit.ly/3vvI2On

Explore our recent study, which revises traditional views on corneal keratometric index values in cataract surgery on patients with zero-power lenses, suggesting a shift from the standard to more accurate measurements. Using zero-power IOLs for estimating the keratometric index eliminates the lens's focusing effects, providing a clearer base for assessing the cornea's true refractive power. This insightful research offers new perspectives for better surgical outcomes and patient care. https://lnkd.in/geZeHwJf Hôpital Fondation Adolphe de Rothschild Jascha Wendelstein Guillaume Debellemanière Langenbucher Achim @peterhoffmann @alexandrechingan #ophthalmology #cornea #cataract #IOL #optics

Fascial plane blocks for cardiac and thoracic surgery represent the future of a well-established ERAS program. These blocks allow good quality analgesia with a simple and safe approach https://lnkd.in/gQW4N8hv

The areas and diseases in which minimally invasive and robotic cardiac surgery is performed are expanding day by day. I would like to share with great pleasure that our article, which also includes our surgical videos, has been published in @JTCVS Surgical Tech, showing that right anterior mini thoracotomy is feasible and safe in ascending aortic surgery.

Big thank you to Prof. Edmiston for a very engaging presentation and to all those who joined the call live. A recording of the presentation is available on the PolyPid Ltd. website under the Investor section. Key takeaways from the presentation: 1. After a reduction in #Surgical_Site_Infection (SSIs) rates during #COVID, rates are now increasing, signaling a return to pre-COVID levels 2. SSIs are under-reported, and up to 30-35% of #colorectal #infections are missed due to sub-optimal surveillance strategies 3. Known procedure and patient risk-factors significantly increase the risk of SSIs and impact #payer costs See full PR here: http://bit.ly/4bbmSEl #PYPD #SSI #InfectionPreventino #LayerByLayer
