Drug-eluting stents versus coronary artery bypass graft surgery in left main coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis of early outcomes from randomized and nonrandomized studies
Conclusions: Patients treated by drug-eluting stents in randomized controlled trials and observational studies in the current literature are often a preselected subgroup with less complex lesions compared with the overall target population. Results drawn from these studies should be viewed with caution. Coronary artery bypass grafting is associated with a lower incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events at 1 year and beyond, and thus should be regarded as the standard of treatment. However, drug-eluting stents may have a role for selected patients with percutaneously amenable left main disease who are po...

Are drug-eluting stents superior to bare metal stents when compared to coronary artery bypass surgery? Show me the data
Abstract: Recent randomized trials comparing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) versus drug eluting stents (DES) observed better survival, survival free of myocardial infarction (MI) and free from death, MI and stroke in patients with 3-vessel disease and diabetics if they were treated with DES. In the past, when we used bare metal stent (BMS) and meta-analysis of randomized trials with BMS and CABG, patients with 3-vessel disease and those with diabetes at 5 years of follow up had similar incidence of death, MI and stroke with CABG and BMS. The results reported recently by the SYNTAX and FREEDOM trials suggested a lack...

Long-Term Outcomes After Invasive Management for Older Patients With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Original Articles
Conclusions— Older patients with non–ST-segment elevation MI with significant coronary disease face high long-term risks for mortality and nonfatal cardiovascular outcomes after early catheterization that differ by type of revascularization procedure performed. These findings can help guide the design of studies evaluating long-term therapies among elderly post-MI patients.

Abstract 250: Economic Burden of Mortality and Cardiovascular Events among Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes in a Commercial Health Plan Poster Session III
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a modest 10% increase in anticoagulant use among patients with ACS would reduce mortality, MI, ST and related healthcare costs by 4%, 0.7%, and 3%, respectively. Addition of anticoagulation therapy potentially reduces the incidence of ACS-related mortality, MI, ST and associated healthcare costs to a commercial health plan, and benefits from anticoagulation use should be balanced against the risk of bleeding.

Coronary artery bypass grafting vs percutaneous coronary intervention in a 'real-world' setting: a comparative effectiveness study based on propensity score-matched cohorts ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS In the ‘real-world’ setting of this study, CABG was associated with significantly lower rates of death, MI and TVR in patients with LMCA or multivessel disease, so it remains the standard of care, particularly for patients with more extensive coronary disease and diabetes.

Cost-Effectiveness of 12-Month Treatment With Ticagrelor Compared With Clopidogrel in the Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes.
CONCLUSIONS: When assessed from the perspective of the Australian health care system, ticagrelor is likely to be cost-effective compared with clopidogrel in preventing downstream morbidity and mortality associated with ACS. PMID: 23891361 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

054 * hybrid surgery in patients with concomitant critical coronary and carotid artery lesions
Conclusions: Hybrid surgery in patients with concomitant critical coronary and carotid artery lesions is a safe and very effective procedure that reduces the number of complications during the surgical treatment of this severe cohort of patients.

183 * the use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries increases long-term survival in elderly patients: a propensity-matched analysis
Conclusions: The use of bilateral thoracic arteries improves the long-term survival after CABG, but increases the risk of postoperative sternal wound complications. A more extensive use in the elderly population should be advocated, but only in selected patients with low risk of sternal complications.

232 * early anticoagulation therapy after bioprosthetic aortic valve implantation: comparing warfarin versus aspirin
Conclusions: This is to date the largest randomized trial comparing warfarin to aspirin as early anticoagulation therapy after implantation of bioprosthetic aortic valves. The results are not conclusive, but aspirin therapy seems as safe as warfarin therapy, and with significantly fewer gastrointestinal bleeding events, three months after surgery.

Characteristics, management and 5 years outcomes of patients with high risk, stable multivessel coronary heart disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that patients withadvanced multivessel coronary artery disease who are qualified forcomplete surgical revascularization benefit more than those who were not qualified for surgery and were treated withmedical therapy supplemented in selected cases with incomplete percutaneous revascularization in regard to several primary end points at 5-year follow-up.

High Thoracic Epidural Analgesia as an Adjunct to General Anesthesia is Associated With Better Outcome in Low-to-Moderate Risk Cardiac Surgery Patients
Conclusion: This large, uniquely matched single-center cohort was generated, and, subject to the listed limitations the authors concluded that supplemental HTEA to general anesthesia had a better outcome in low-risk cardiac surgery patients, with a significantly lower 6-month mortality rate compared with the control group. However, regression analysis revealed that HTEA only had an independently positive effect on the frequency of postoperative dialysis.

Study may bust myth of 'fat and fit' healthy obesity
Conclusion This meta-analysis provides further evidence about the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. What this study adds is the indication that people who are metabolically unhealthy regardless of their weight are at increased risk. However, interestingly, no increase in risk was seen for the category of people who are metabolically healthy though overweight. A strength of this meta-analysis is the large sample size. However, the results should be interpreted with caution as: The studies did not use the same criteria for assessing metabolic status. The studies did not use the same criteri...

Anaortic Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in the Elderly and Very Elderly
Conclusions: OPCAB is associated with low rates of 30-day mortality and peri-operative stroke in this elderly and very elderly patient cohort. Anaortic OPCAB can provide excellent short-term post-operative outcomes and may give the elderly and very elderly population the opportunity to benefit from surgical coronary revascularisation.
