Anastomotic leak after colorectal surgery: does timing affect failure to rescue?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Surgical Endoscopy"
DOI: 10.1007/s00464-020-08270-4
Abstract: Anastomotic leak (AL) is a common complication after colectomy with a relatively high failure to rescue rate (FTR), or death after major complications. There is emerging evidence to suggest an early AL may be associated… read more here.

Endoscopic full-thickness resection versus endoscopic submucosal dissection in the treatment of colonic neoplastic lesions ≤ 30 mm—a single-center experience

DOI: 10.1007/s00464-021-08492-0
Abstract: Endoscopic full-thickness resection (FTR) is a novel technique of endoscopic treatment of colorectal neoplastic lesions not suitable for endoscopic polypectomy or mucosal resection. FTR appears to be a reasonable alternative to technically demanding endoscopic submucosal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jvs.2021.12.076
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Conflicting annual procedure volumes are endorsed among different watchdog groups and professional societies, which obscure credentialing paradigms. There has been ample focus on surgeon volume to date, but less attention surrounding the impact of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ehjci/ehaa946.1925
Abstract: Recent studies have suggested that current grading of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has significant limitations and specifically cannot identify the various grades of severe TR (such as torrential). New cut-off values for the recommended measures of… read more here.

Abstract: Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) is common in left-sided heart pathology involving the mitral valve. The incidence, clinical impact, risk factors, and natural history of FTR in the setting of ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) are less… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/intqhc/mzac084
Abstract: Abstract Objective The ability to detect and treat complications of surgery early is essential for optimal patient outcomes. The failure-to-rescue (FTR) rate is defined as the death rate among patients who develop at least one… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/ta.0000000000001591
Abstract: BACKGROUND Failure to rescue (FTR) is defined as death after an adverse event. The original metric was derived in elective surgical populations and reclassifies deaths not preceded by recorded adverse events as FTR cases under… read more here.
