Percutaneous coronary intervention of totally occluded coronary venous bypass grafts: An exercise in futility?
CONCLUSION: PCI of totally occluded SVG can be performed with a high procedural success rate. However, its clinical utility remains limited by poor follow-up outcomes.PMID:34621494 | PMC:PMC8462047 | DOI:10.4330/wjc.v13.i9.493

Prognosis and Clinical Results after Coronary Artery Bypass Operation in Young Patients Aged < 45 Years: Chances and Limitations of a New Therapy Option
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1736229Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the recommended type of revascularization procedure in patients with left main or three-vessel disease and is considered an alternative when percutaneous coronary intervention is not feasible. We evaluated registry data to obtain long-term outcome data.All patients ≤45 years in whom CABG was performed between 2009 and 2019 were selected from the Heart and Diabetes Center NRW, Germany. Cox regression analysis was applied to estimate the incidence risk of events after surgery.A total of 209 patients (81.8% male) were included. Mean ...

Long-Term Outcomes for Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
Short-term outcomes are worse for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with a history of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). However, long-term prognosis remains unclear. We linked administrative health databases to identify patients hospitalized with ACS (ST-elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI], non –STEMI [NSTEMI], and unstable angina) between 2008 and 2019 in Alberta, Canada. Patients were stratified according to history of NVAF before hospitalization. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality, hospitalization for myocardial infarction, or stroke at 3 years.

Single Versus Multiple Arterial Revascularization in Patients With Reduced Renal Function: Long-term Outcome Comparisons in 23,406 CABG Patients From Ontario, Canada
Objective: To compare the long-term outcomes of MAR versus SAR in patients with renal insufficiency. Summary of Background Data: Previous studies have been insufficiently powered to address whether MAR confers long-term benefit over SAR in patients with renal dysfunction who require CABG. Methods: We conducted retrospective cohort study in Ontario, Canada of patients who underwent isolated CABG (n = 23,406). The primary outcome was MACE, defined as the composite of stroke, myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization. We compared patients by matching them on the propensity to have received SAR vers...

Bedtime versus morning use of antihypertensives for cardiovascular risk reduction (BedMed): protocol for a prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded end-point pragmatic trial
Introduction Sleep-time blood pressure correlates more strongly with adverse cardiovascular events than does daytime blood pressure. The BedMed trial evaluates whether bedtime antihypertensive administration, as compared with conventional morning use, reduces major adverse cardiovascular events. Methods and analysis Design Prospective randomised, open-label, blinded end-point trial. Participants Hypertensive primary care patients using blood pressure lowering medication and free from glaucoma. Setting Community primary care providers in 5 Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario) a...

The impact of hypoalbuminemia on postoperative outcomes after outpatient surgery: a national analysis of the NSQIP database
ConclusionsHypoalbuminemia is associated with major complications and death in outpatient surgery. Since hypoalbuminemia is a potential modifiable intervention, future clinical trials to evaluate the impact of optimizing preoperative albumin levels before outpatient surgery are warranted.
