Predictors of acute kidney injury after coronary artery surgery in Jordanians
Conclusion Emergency coronary surgery, mitral regurgitation, prolonged inotropic support, and stroke or transient ischemic attack are independent predictors of acute kidney injury following coronary bypass surgery. Further studies involving patients with isolated coronary bypass surgery as well as valve and combined surgeries may be necessary to complete our understanding of this subject.

Prediction of Postoperative Cardiac Surgery Outcomes With a Novel Score: R2CHADS2
Conclusion The R2CHADS2 score estimates postoperative events with acceptable accuracy and if validated can be used as a simple preoperative drisk tool calculator.

Abstract 132: The POWR Survey: Patient and Physician Perspectives on Outcomes Weighting in Revascularization. Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Patients and physicians agree on which outcomes are most (death and stroke)and least impactful (incision scar), but there is a lot of variability in between supporting the reporting of more adverse outcomes and not just those included in MACE.

Clinical outcomes of hybrid coronary revascularization versus coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus
Background: Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) involves minimally invasive left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery grafting combined with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of non–left anterior descending vessels. The safety and efficacy of HCR among diabetic patients are unknown.Methods: Patients with diabetes were included who underwent HCR at a US academic center between October 2003 and September 2013. These patients were matched 1:5 to similar patients treated with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using a propensity score (PS)-matching algorithm. Conditional logistic...

Cardiovascular highlights from non-cardiology journals
Pre-operative aspirin does not influence CABG outcomes Aspirin is a common therapy for risk reduction among patients with coronary artery disease. However, among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery, the benefits of aspirin on the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke may be outweighed by perioperative bleeding risk. To address this question, the ATACAS trial randomized 2100 patients to either receive 100 mg aspirin daily or matching placebo for 4 days immediately prior to the operation with all patients resuming aspirin within 24 hours of their bypass surgery. The primary outcome was a composite of d...

Sutureless aortic valves in elderly patients with aortic stenosis and intermediate-risk profile
Conclusion The use of sutureless aortic valves in elderly patients with an intermediate-risk profile provided excellent early and mid-term outcomes, providing a reliable tool in patients undergoing surgical AVR in this specific subset of population. These preliminary data need to be investigated with a TAVI control-group in further studies.

One-Stop Hybrid Coronary Revascularization Versus Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Int Heart J. 2022;63(3):441-446. doi: 10.1536/ihj.21-705.ABSTRACTOne-stop hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) is a promising revascularization strategy for treating multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD). However, its safety and feasibility remain controversial. Therefore, we introduced our experience with midterm follow-up of HCR in patients with MVCAD and compared it with conventional off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Patients with MVCAD undergoing one-stop HCR at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital between March 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively enrolled. These patients were matched in a 1:2 ratio...
