Impact of subclinical hypothyroidism on outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis conducted that evaluates the impact of SCH on outcomes after CABG. The preoperative assessment of thyroid function may be considered prior to cardiovascular procedures, particularly within CABG. However, future comprehensive studies, with individual participant-level data, are necessary in order to arrive at a valid conclusion and recommendation.PMID:38483792 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12845-5 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

A national cross-sectional survey on time-trends for endovascular repair of genetically-triggered aortic disease and connective tissue disorders over two decades
CONCLUSIONS: This national cross-sectional survey, investigating trends in ER of GTADs and CTDs over two decades, highlights a consistent increase in the use of endovascular techniques for their treatment. Early mortality was acceptably low, yet influenced by the urgency of presentation. At one-year follow-up, a 5% additional death rate was noted, and the reintervention rate remained below one in ten.PMID:38483793 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12941-2 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Half-dose direct oral anticoagulation versus warfarin for atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In comparison to warfarin, half-dose DOAC anticoagulation in patients with atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery is associated with a shorter postoperative length of stay, without a significant increase in stroke/transient ischemic attack, reoperation for bleeding or postoperative blood product transfusion. Follow-up echocardiography in anticoagulated patients is recommended to rule out significant sanguineous pericardial effusions in the early postoperative period following hospital discharge.PMID:38470020 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12815-7 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation in ischemic heart disease: to operate or not? A meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who underwent CABG alone versus CABG plus MVR did not differ significantly from one another. However, the comparison of CABG alone with CABG plus MVR underlines the need for customized treatment plans based on the unique characteristics of each patient.PMID:38445846 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12851-0 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)

Remote ischemic conditioning reduces postoperative bleeding in adult cardiac surgical patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: RIC might reduce postoperative blood loss in adult cardiac surgical patients and reduced intraoperative RBC transfusion in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. However, RIC did not influence intraoperative bleeding, the volume of re-exploration for bleeding or blood transfusion postoperatively.PMID:38411397 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12827-3 (Source: The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery)
