Pre ‐emptive intraoperative administration of PCC4 in cardiac surgery patients at high risk of bleeding: A pilot study
ConclusionOverall patients received a low rate of blood transfusion, had minimal chest tube output, and there was a small incidence of right heart failure. Patients did not have an increased risk of adverse effects such as AKI or venous thromboembolism. A randomized controlled clinical trial comparing the observed dose and timing of PCC4 versus routine postoperative bleeding management with blood product transfusion is recommended.

A new perspective: Fat tissue and adipokines in rheumatic heart valves
ConclusionAdipose tissue in the rheumatic mitral valve could be observed by ultrasound. The fat mass and adipokines existed in rheumatic mitral valves, the adipocytokine chemerin is involved in the progression of the pathology in RHD. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Surgery)

Reconsideration and surgical technique report of root repair management of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection
AbstractCurrently, there is a lack of expert consensus and clinical guidelines about the treatment strategy for aortic roots in patients with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection with aortic sinuses less than 45 mm in diameter and without combined connective tissue disorder. The physiological aortic sinus plays a key role in the protection of the aortic valve and cardiac function. Thus, we invented a “watching without dealing with” technique of aortic root repair to preserve the aortic sinus as much as possible. This technique could simplify the operation and improve the patient's prognosis, which is worth learni...

Role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in planning ventricular septal myomectomy in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM)
AbstractSeptal myectomy is currently the gold standard treatment for symptomatic patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). The procedure needs to be tailored and performed in a personalized fashion, taking into consideration the anatomic and physiologic heterogeneity of this disease. The extent and location of surgical myectomy will depend on the location of the hypertrophy, with the goal of widening the outflow tract and improve the function of the mitral valve. CMR helps to identify hypertrophy not well visualized by TTE, providing more accurate wall thickness measurements and differentiating HOCM fro...

Single ‐center experience of LVAD implantation in patients with sickle‐cell trait: A retrospective analysis
ConclusionsDespite the limited numbers of patients enrolled in this study, our findings indicate that LVAD surgery is safe in SCD patients and offers remarkable clinical improvement. Further studies are needed to provide more evidence regarding this type of patients undergoing LVAD implantation. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Surgery)

The influence of metabolic syndrome in heart valve intervention. A multi ‐centric study
ConclusionMetS was associated to more postoperative complications, with higher mortality in the MVS group. In the TAVR cohort, postoperative complications and mortality rate did not differ between patients with and without MetS, however LOS was longer in the MetS group.

The association of pre ‐transplant atrial fibrillation with in‐hospital outcomes in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation: A propensity score matching analysis
ConclusionIn patients undergoing OLT, pre-transplant AF is increasing in prevalence and appears to be associated with similar in-hospital mortality but worse perioperative outcomes. Greater emphasis should be placed on AF in the preoperative cardiovascular risk stratification of patients undergoing OLT. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Surgery)

The effect of socioeconomic factors on patient outcomes in cardiac surgery
ConclusionsThese findings reveal significant disparities in patient outcomes after routine cardiac operations that are associated with socioeconomic status. Patients who did not have private insurance or had lower incomes were found to be at risk for increased LOS. Women were at a higher risk of mortality for several operations, a finding which has been previously described elsewhere. Private insurance conveyed a decreased odds of mortality in patients undergoing AVR. This data set serves to highlight differences in healthcare outcomes based on a variety of socioeconomic, geographic, and other inherent factors. Additional ...

Postoperative cardiac troponin I as an indicator of surgical outcomes: A systematic review
ConclusionTroponin I has the potential to be used as a stand-alone predictor of surgical outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting and valvular surgeries. However, supplementing it with other markers and scores offers the best chance at timely diagnosing any complications. (Source: Journal of Cardiac Surgery)
