Minimal Changes in Postoperative Creatinine Values and Early and Late Mortality and Cardiovascular Events After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
In conclusion, already a minimal increase in the postoperative serum creatinine level after CABG was independently associated with long-term all-cause mortality and cardiovascular outcomes, regardless of preoperative renal function.

Efficacy of Prophylactic Intra‐Aortic Balloon Pump Therapy in Chronic Heart Failure Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
This study investigated the efficacy of prophylactic intraoperative intra‐aortic balloon pump (IABP) usage in chronic heart failure patients with severely reduced left ventricular function undergoing elective cardiac surgery. Between January 2008 and December 2012, 107 patients with severely reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF <35%) received prophylactic intraoperative IABP implantation during open‐heart surgery. Surgical procedures performed were isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 35 patients (32.7%), aortic valve replacement in 12 (11.2%), mitral valve repair or replacement in 15 (14.0...

Can the temporary use of right ventricular assist devices bridge patients with acute right ventricular failure after cardiac surgery to recovery?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was: Can the temporary use of right ventricular assist devices (RVADs) bridge patients to recovery who suffer acute right ventricular failure after cardiac surgery? More than 183 papers were found using the reported search, of which 13 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. Indications for surgical intervention included coronary artery bypas...

Does off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery have a beneficial effect on long-term mortality and morbidity compared with on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery offered superior long-term outcomes compared with on-pump CABG surgery. Best evidence papers were considered to be those that had a follow-up period of ≥5 years, had >50 patients in either cohort, did not utilize concomitant interventions nor comprised low-risk, high-risk or sub-population groups. Where potential duplicate data sets from the same institution were likely, the more credible and recently published study was included. Two hundr...

EuroSCORE II and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide for risk evaluation: an observational longitudinal study in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Conclusions Combining EuroSCORE II and preoperative NT-proBNP appears to improve risk prediction with regard to severe circulatory failure after isolated CABG for ACS. NT-proBNP may be particularly useful in patients at intermediate risk according to EuroSCORE II. Clinical trial registration NCT00489827.

Abstract 110: Long-Term Health Status Outcomes in Young Women with Acute Myocardial Infarction: Results from the VIRGO Study Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Compared with men, young women are more likely to have "poor" health status outcomes after AMI. This information is critically important in developing targets for gender-specific interventions to improve young women’s recovery post AMI.

Who might benefit from early aspirin after coronary artery surgery?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether early administration of aspirin might optimize vein graft patency. More than 250 papers were found using the reported search, of which 4 new papers in addition to the previous 7 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. Early postoperative aspirin administered within 6 h following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been show...

The prevalence and outcomes of transradial percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome. Analysis from the single-centre ISACS-TC Registry (International Survey of Acute Coronary Syndrome in Transitional Countries) (2010-12)
The aims were to compare the prevalence and short-term outcomes of transradial (TRA) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in dedicated radial centre. This was a single-centre observational study of 3484 consecutively enrolled patients with ACS in a 3-year period (2010–12). There were 1648 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 1836 with non-ST-elevation ACS (NSTEACS). All patients underwent diagnostic coronary angiography within 24 h (STEMI) or within 72 h (NSTEACS). Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 84.9% patients (96.6% with STEMI and 74....

Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Thoracic Aortic Surgery
Conclusions Several risk factors contribute to the incidence of POAF after thoracic aortic surgery. We found that POAF significantly increased 30-day operative mortality (p &lt; 0.0001). Our findings can be used to develop a risk stratification system for the prediction of POAF.

Depression, anxiety and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients following coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a five year longitudinal cohort study
Conclusions: Generalized anxiety disorder was significantly associated with MACCE at follow-up after CABG surgery. The findings encourage further research pertaining to generalized anxiety disorder, and theoretical conceptualizations of depression, general distress and anxiety in persons undergoing CABG surgery.

Aortic Stenosis Valve Replacement or Valve Implantation? ∗
In this issue of the Journal, Tamburino et al. (1) have published a study that compares the clinical outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) at 1 year from the OBSERVANT (Observational Study of Effectiveness of SAVR–TAVR Procedures for Severe Aortic Stenosis Treatment) registry, which investigates the management of aortic stenosis (AS) in 93 institutions in Italy. The registry had 7,618 patients with AS (5,707 treated with AVR and 1,991 with TAVR). The investigators excluded 2,150 patients because of combined procedures, porcelain aortas, “hostile thorax,” nonfem...
