Performance of a Machine Learning Algorithm in Predicting Outcomes of Aortic Valve Replacement.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the performance of a machine learning (ML) algorithm in predicting outcomes of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

Predicting Survival After Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation by Using Machine Learning.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: Venoarterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) undoubtedly saves many lives, but it is associated with a high degree of patient morbidity, mortality, and resource use. This study aimed to develop a machine learning algorithm...

Predictive Utility of a Machine Learning Algorithm in Estimating Mortality Risk in Cardiac Surgery.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the predictive utility of a machine learning algorithm in estimating operative mortality risk in cardiac surgery.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Cardiovascular Health Care.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: This review article provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) as it relates to cardiovascular health care.

Utilization of Minimally Invasive Thymectomy and Margin-Negative Resection for Early-Stage Thymoma.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive thymectomy (MIT) has demonstrated improved short-term outcomes compared with open thymectomy (OT). Although adoption of MIT for thymoma is increasing, oncologic outcomes have not been well characterized.

Ground Glass Lesions on Chest Imaging: Evaluation of Reported Incidence in Cancer Patients Using Natural Language Processing.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: Ground glass opacities (GGOs) on computed tomography (CT) have gained significant recent attention, with unclear incidence and epidemiologic patterns. Natural language processing (NLP) is a powerful computing tool that collects variables ...

Robotic Hybrid Approach for an Anterior Pancoast Tumor in a Severely Obese Patient.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
Several different surgical approaches to anterior Pancoast tumors have been proposed. The osteomuscular-sparing transmanubrial approach allows optimal exposure and control of apical chest wall structures, but it requires an additional thoracotomy to ...
