Effects of Short-Term Episodes of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on the Long-term Incidence of Atrial Fibrillation and Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: POAF is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of late AF but not stroke after isolated CABG.PMID:38286644 | DOI:10.59958/hsf.6787 (Source: The Heart Surgery Forum)

Effects of Concomitant CABG on Outcomes in Veterans Who Require Surgery for Endocarditis
CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant CABG at the time of operation for IE was associated with increased risk of MI at 30-day and long-term, though most CABGs involved a low number of grafts. It was not associated with 30-day stroke or death, long term stroke or death, or perioperative complications. The optimal treatment of CAD noted during preoperative evaluation for veterans undergoing surgery for IE remains unclear.PMID:38286645 | DOI:10.59958/hsf.6719 (Source: The Heart Surgery Forum)

Working Around: The Use of AngioVac and Micra Transcatheter Leadless Pacemaker Implantation in a Critically Ill Patient Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Heart Surg Forum. 2024 Jan 9;27(1):E001-E005. doi: 10.59958/hsf.6223.ABSTRACTThe use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critically ill patients has been on the rise in recent years. While ECMO has provided substantial benefit to patients who need cardiopulmonary support, its required use of large-bore catheters in major blood vessels often precludes the use of other transcatheter therapies. In this article, we demonstrate that two transcatheter procedures, AngioVac right-sided cardiac thrombus removal and Micra leadless pacemaker placement, both requiring large bore access, can both be safely and effectively ...

Cerebral Embolism and MINOCA Secondary to Left Atrial Myxoma after Occlusion of Atrial Septal Defect by Amplatzer Occluder: A Case Report
Heart Surg Forum. 2024 Jan 9;27(1):E006-E013. doi: 10.59958/hsf.5803.ABSTRACTPrimary heart tumors are rare, with atrial myxomas being the most common type. Atrial myxomas can lead to embolisms, heart obstruction, and systemic symptoms. Herein, we report a case of 72-year-old woman who presented with a left atrial myxoma at the atrial septal defect occluder, a new acute cerebral infarction, and MINOCA (myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary atherosclerosis). Left atrial myxoma is a common primary cardiac tumor; however, left atrial myxomas arising after percutaneous atrial septal defect occlusion are rare. Addit...

AKAP1 in Renal Patients with AHF to Reduce Ferroptosis of Cardiomyocyte
CONCLUSIONS: AKAP1 reduced ROS-induced lipid peroxidation ferroptosis through the inhibition of ubiquitination of NDUFS by mitochondrial damage in model of renal patients with AHF, suggest a novel target for AHF treatment.PMID:38286648 | DOI:10.59958/hsf.5717 (Source: The Heart Surgery Forum)
