Mechanical or biologic prostheses for aortic-valve and mitral-valve replacement.
This study compared long-term mortality and rates of reoperation, stroke, and bleeding between cohorts of patients who underwent primary aortic-valve replacement or mitral-valve replacement with a mechanical or biologic prosthesis. The long-term mortality benefit associated with a mechanical prosthesis, as compared with a biologic prosthesis, persisted until 70 years of age among patients undergoing mitral-valve replacement and until 55 years of age among those undergoing aortic-valve replacement.

Randomised controlled trial to assess the effect of a Just-in-Time training on procedural performance: a proof-of-concept study to address procedural skill decay.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a novel Just-in-Time (JIT) intervention on transvenous pacemaker (TVP) placement during a simulated patient event. The authors concluded that a JIT intervention improved procedure performance, suggesting a role for JIT interventions in rarely performed procedures.
