Featured Graphical Abstracts

Adult: A meta-analysis of the indices and cohorts resulted in the proposed anatomic staging system. The implications of appropriately stage-matched repair of secondary mitral valve disease are exemplified along the continuum of anatomic indices of leaflet dysfunction. Drake

Congenital: RVPMA addresses TR caused by leaflet splaying from displaced papillary muscles or RV dilation. Repair with RVPMA demonstrates acceptable short-term durability, but similar to other TV repair strategies is less durable in patients with systemic RV pressure and multiple mechanisms of TR (95% CI). Gikandi

Thoracic: Overview of the impact of traveling greater than 100 miles from the operative center on the receipt of indicated adjuvant therapy in resected non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eisenberg
