Outcomes of Percutaneous Revascularization in Severe Ischemic Left Ventricular Dysfunction
This article presents a comprehensive review of coronary revascularization versus optimal medical therapy (OMT) in patients with severe ischemic left ventricular dysfunction.Recent FindingsThe REVIVED-BCIS2 trial randomized 700 patients with extensive coronary artery disease and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF)  ≤ 35% and viability in more than four dysfunctional myocardial segments to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plus OMT versus OMT alone. Over a median duration of 41 months, there was no difference in the composite of all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, or improvement i n ...

Transit time flow measurement in off-pump surgery: is it a functional index of the biological graft integrity?
CONCLUSIONS: Diabetic patients, especially in the insulin-dependent subgroups, have demonstrated lower MGF and higher PI values collected from venous anastomoses with, conversely, inverse results from the arterial one. These results might be correlated to an altered biological adaptability caused by the effects of the diabetic endocrine disorder.PMID:38639524 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202404_35914 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

Association between chronic liver disease and adverse in-hospital outcomes in patients undergoing CABG: A propensity score-matched analysis of a 5-year national inpatient sample data from 2016-2020
This study investigates the association between CLD and in-hospital outcomes in CABG patients using retrospective data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database (2016-2020) including 7,945 CLD patients undergoing CABG that were propensity score matched with an equivalent number of patients with no CLD undergoing CABG.

Antithrombotic drug removal with hemoadsorption during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are often loaded with antithrombotic drugs (AT) and are at an increased risk for perioperative bleeding complications. Active AT removal by a hemoadsor... (Source: Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery)
