Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of Aortic Root Infusion of Sufentanil on Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement.
This study investigated the effects of aortic root infusion of sufentanil on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in patients undergoing elective mitral valve replacement (MVR) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). ⋯ The present study demonstrated that sufentanil can attenuate myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing elective MVR with CPB.

Meta AnalysisMeta-analysis on the Performance of the EuroSCORE II and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Scores in Patients Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement.
To evaluate the performance of the EuroSCORE II (ESII) and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) scores in surgical (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). ⋯ The ESII and STS scores have good O/E ratios for either TAVR or SAVR patients, but both scores significantly underpredicted the risk of TAVR patients. ESII seemed to be accurate in predicting the risk of SAVR patients.
