Routine minimally invasive approach via left anterior mini ‐thoracotomy in multivessel coronary revascularization
ConclusionMinimally invasive multivessel bypass surgery is a surgical method that has just started to become widespread. The fact that the technique is new and more challenging than conventional methods makes it difficult for surgeons to adopt it. In addition, one of the most important issues is that the surgical results should be satisfactory. Our study shows that safe, successful, and satisfactory results can be obtained by using this method, as in our case series. In addition, we think that it can be successfully applied routinely to all patients without distinction.

Obesity or obesities? Controversies on the association between body mass index and premature mortality.
Abstract Obesity is still defined on the basis of body mass index (BMI) and BMI in itself is generally accepted as a strong predictor of overall early mortality. However, an inverse association between BMI and mortality has been reported in patients with many disease states and in several clinical settings: hemodialysis, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, surgery, etc. This unexpected phenomenon is usually called obesity-survival paradox (OP). The contiguous concepts of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO, a phenotype having BMI ≥ 30 but not having an...

Obesity Paradox in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Ischemic Stroke: An Analysis of Nationwide Inpatient Sample Data (S47.008)
Conclusions: Among patients hospitalized for AIS, obese patients had lower risk adjusted in-hospital mortality. Similar trend persisted among IV-tpa and non IV-tpa group. The association of obesity and better prognosis, also known as the "obesity paradox" holds true for AIS. This is the first study of its kind on the largest all payer database. However, further studies are required to establish causal relationship for this phenomenon.Disclosure: Dr. Lunagariya has nothing to disclose. Dr. Patel has nothing to disclose.

Bariatric Surgery Is Associated with a Reduction in Major Macrovascular and Microvascular Complications in Moderately to Severely Obese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Background: Bariatric surgery (BAR) has been established as an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in obese patients. However, few studies have examined the mid- to long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery in diabetic populations. Specifically, no comparative studies have broadly examined major macrovascular and microvascular complications in bariatric surgical patients vs similar, nonbariatric surgery controls.Study Design: We conducted a large, population-based, retrospective cohort study of adult obese patients with T2DM, from 1996 to 2009, using UB-04 administrative data and vital records. Eligible p...
