Background:
Esophagectomy is a procedure that carries considerable morbidity. Many studies have evaluated factors to predict patients at risk and improve clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine whether the SAS predicts complications, length of stay, and anastomotic leak for patients undergoing esophagectomy at a high-volume institution.

Background:
The purpose of this study is to review the efficacy of Target Specific Oral Anticoagulants (TSOAC) versus vitamin K antagonist (VKA) for post-surgical anticoagulation in patient with primary subclavian vein thrombosis. Rivaroxaban, a factor Xa inhibitor, was the first TSOAC approved by the FDA in 2012 for the treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis. However, the efficacy and safety of TSOAC for prevention of recurrent deep vein thrombosis after revascularization of upper extremity compression syndromes is largely unknown.

Background:
Dual kidney transplantation (DKT) of expanded criteria donors is a cost intensive procedure to help increase the pool of available deceased organ donors. In studies to day, expanded criteria single kidney (eSKT) or dual kidney transplantation (DKT) have demonstrated equivalence, but a more rigorous allocation system is needed to optimize limited resources for improved operative outcomes.
