Research Publications
Our primary focus at The Baird Institute is to encourage and fund research to improve the surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients facing heart or lung surgery. The funds we raise go directly to research that improves the surgical procedures associated with heart and lung surgery. Improvements can include less intrusive procedures as well as techniques that improve survival rates.
Below you will find a list of publications that our surgeons and research fellows have been involved in writing.
A meta-analysis of MitraClip system versus surgery for treatment of severe mitral regurgitation
Wan B, Rahnavardi M, Tian DH, Phan K, Munkholm-Larsen S, Bannon PG, Yan TD Ann Cardiothorac Surg 2013 Nov;2(6):683-92 PMID: 24349969 Abstract BACKGROUND: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common valvular heart disease after aortic stenosis. Without intervention, prognosis is poor in patients with severe symptomatic MR. While surgical repair is recommended for many…
Custodiol for myocardial protection and preservation: a systematic review
Edelman JJ, Seco M, Dunne B, Matzelle SJ, Murphy M, Joshi P, Yan TD, Wilson MK, Bannon PG, Vallely MP, Passage J Ann Cardiothorac Surg 2013 Nov;2(6):717-28 PMID: 24349972 Abstract INTRODUCTION: Custodiol cardioplegia is attractive for minimally invasive cardiac surgery, as a single dose provides a long period of myocardial protection. Despite widespread use in…
Systematic review of robotic minimally invasive mitral valve surgery
Seco M, Cao C, Modi P, Bannon PG, Wilson MK, Vallely MP, Phan K, Misfeld M, Mohr F, Yan TD Ann Cardiothorac Surg 2013 Nov;2(6):704-16 PMID: 24349971 Abstract BACKGROUND: Robotic telemanipulators have evolved to assist the challenges of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MVS). A systematic review was performed to provide a synopsis of the…

Anaortic off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in the elderly and very elderly
Cooper EA, Edelman JJ, Black D, Brereton RJ, Ross DE, Bannon PG, Wilson MK, Vallely MP Heart Lung Circ 2013 Dec;22(12):989-95 PMID: 23827207 Abstract BACKGROUND: Elderly patients undergoing surgical revascularisation may disproportionately benefit from avoiding manipulation of the ascending aorta and cardiopulmonary bypass. In this multi-centre observational study, we sought to determine the 30-day outcomes…
