Does Aspartate Aminotransferase to Alanine Aminotransferase Ratio Predict Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery?
CONCLUSION: Preoperative and postoperative elevated AST to ALT ratio seems to be associated with an increased incidence of AKI after elective isolated CABG surgery.PMID:34173741 | DOI:10.1532/hsf.3849

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Reduces Cardiac Death in Patients with Peripheral Arteriopathy
Conclusions The OPCAB procedure considerably reduced the occurrence of cardiac death after coronary revascularization. This finding might suggest that the OPCAB procedure should be considered as the first option in patients with higher cardiovascular risk scores. Further research is warranted.

Ten-year all-cause death following percutaneous or surgical revascularization in patients with prior cerebrovascular disease: insights from the SYNTAX Extended Survival study
ConclusionPrior CEVD was associated with a significantly increased risk of 10  year all-cause death which was similar in patients treated with PCI or CABG. These results do not support preferential referral for PCI rather than CABG in patients with prior CEVD.Trial registration: SYNTAX: ClinicalTrials.gov reference: NCT00114972.

Application of the Modified High Bleeding Risk Criteria for Japanese Patients in an All-Comers Registry of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention 　- From the CREDO-Kyoto Registry Cohort-3.
CONCLUSIONS: The J-HBR criteria successfully identified those patients with very high bleeding risk after PCI, who represented 64% of patients in this all-comers registry. PMID: 33298644 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Early outcomes following isolated coronary artery bypass surgery: Influence of peripheral artery disease
ConclusionsThe presence of peripheral arterial disease increases the incidence of postoperative stroke, AKD and limb ischemia requiring intervention, independent of patient characteristics, concomitant risk factors, surgical approaches, and techniques. Further larger studies are necessary to confirm our findings.

Mitral valve surgery with or without coronary bypass grafting: eight-year cohort study.
CONCLUSION: MVR+CABG compared to MVR patients had more comorbidities and greater operative risk, and were independently associated with higher operative mortality and composite morbidity, but not independently associated with higher long-term mortality. PMID: 31415499 [PubMed - in process]

A Systematic Review of Direct Cardiovascular Event Costs: An International Perspective
ConclusionsThere was considerable unexplained variation in contemporary costs for all major cardiovascular events. One emerging theme was that average costs in the USA were considerably higher than anywhere else.

Does Mitral Valve Calcium In Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement Portend Worse Survival?
ConclusionsConservative approach to treat MAC achieves satisfactory results. Patients with MAC have significant comorbidities contributing to a worse survival though MAC in itself is not a risk factor for mortality.

Robotic Beating Heart Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass in Higher-Risk Patients: Can It be Done Safely?
Conclusions We conclude that beating heart totally endoscopic beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery can be performed in patients with a higher STS predicted risk of mortality with excellent outcomes. Further studies are warranted to evaluate long-term results of totally endoscopic beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery in this challenging group of patients.

Which aortic clamp strategy is better to reduce postoperative stroke and death: Single center report and a meta-analysis
Background: Stroke is severe complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) which may be associated with clamp strategy, there are 2 strategies to clamp aorta including single aortic clamp (SAC) and partial aortic clamp (PAC). It is controversial that which clamping strategy is better to reduce the postoperative stroke and death, so this study aims to investigate which is better for reducing postoperative stroke and death within 30 days. Methods: We collected 469 patients who had on-pump CABG in Fuwai Hospital during January 2014 to July 2015. The SAC group consisted of 265 patients while the PAC group include...

Preoperative factors associated with worsening in health-related quality of life following coronary artery bypass grafting in the ROOBY trial
Conclusions Among VA patients, less than 20% experienced worse HRQL 1year after CABG. For patients with low symptom burden at baseline, diabetes, smoking, depression, PVD, COPD, and a prior stroke, clinicians should be more cautious in pre-CABG counseling as to their anticipated HRQL improvements.
