Outcomes of 881 Consecutive Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patients Using Heartstring Device
Conclusion Low stroke rate, as low as 0.9%, after CABG using Heartstring for proximal anastomosis, although under a variety of aortic manipulations, may contribute to the improved long-term prognosis.

Coronary Surgery as a Supra-Specialty
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an elegant operation on the first 2 branches of the aorta. A PubMed search of “Coronary Bypass” lists 85,133 articles on May 3, 2024. It is perhaps the most studied operation in the history of surgery and remains the most common operation in cardiovascular surgery. Coronary surgery is evolving into a supra-specialty (1-3), however, which is appropriate, I believe, for the se reasons: (Source: The American Journal of Cardiology)

Coronary sodium [18F]fluoride activity predicts outcomes post-CABG: a comparative evaluation with conventional metrics
ConclusionQuantification of coronary microcalcification activity via [18F]NaF PET displayed a strong ability to predict early and long-term post-CABG cardiovascular outcomes, thereby outperforming conventional metrics of coronary macrocalcification burden and stenosis severity.Trial registration: The trial was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Committee (number: ChiCTR1900022527; URL:www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.html?proj=37933).

Quantitative flow ratio versus fractional flow reserve for Heart Team decision-making in multivessel disease: the randomised, multicentre DECISION QFR trial
CONCLUSIONS: QFR provided feasible physiological data in Heart Team discussions to determine the optimal revascularisation strategy for MVD. The QFR and FFR approaches agreed substantially in terms of treatment recommendations.PMID:38726719 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-23-00674 (Source: EuroIntervention)

Controlled antegrade and retrograde subintimal tracking (CART) for recanalisation of chronic total occlusions
CONCLUSIONS: CART is a useful technique in selected, very complex CTOs tackled with the retrograde approach. Success rates were high, while complication rates were low, considering the high anatomical complexity and baseline patient risk.PMID:38726716 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-23-01082 (Source: EuroIntervention)

Female Surgeons in Cardiac Surgery: Does the Surgeon's Gender Affect the Outcome of Routine Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Isolated Aortic Valve Surgery?
CONCLUSION: Our study reveals that in routine heart surgery, the gender of the surgeon does not impact the success of the operation or the early outcome of patients. Despite taking more time to perform procedures, female surgeons demonstrated comparable surgical outcomes to their male counterparts. It is possible that women's inclination for thoroughness contributes to the longer duration of procedures, while male surgeons may prioritize efficiency. Nevertheless, this difference in duration did not translate into significant differences in primary outcomes following routine cardiac surgery. These findings highlight the im...

Perioperative Management and Outcomes in Patients Receiving Low-dose Rivaroxaban and or Aspirin: A Sub-analysis of the COMPASS Trial
CONCLUSION: In patients in the COMPASS trial who required a surgery/procedure, there was no significant difference in perioperative adverse outcomes whether patients were receiving rivaroxaban 2.5 mg bid and ASA 100 mg daily, rivaroxaban 5 mg bid or ASA alone.PMID:38729576 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtha.2024.03.030 (Source: Atherosclerosis)
