Implications of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage on Cardiac Surgical Outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: MRSA carriers undergoing cardiac surgery are not at higher risk for mortality or SSI and can expect outcomes similar to those of non-carriers. Higher rates of postoperative MRSA infection and septicemia among carriers, although still very low, support the need for selective preoperative screening and prophylaxis when possible.

Factor Xa inhibitors in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices
ConclusionsFactor Xa inhibitors may be viable treatment options for CF-LVAD patients for whom warfarin therapy has failed. Large prospective studies are necessary to confirm these results.

Clinical outcomes of PCI with rotational atherectomy: the European multicentre Euro4C registry.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the high level of complexity of the studied population, RA turned out to be an effective procedure with a low rate of in-hospital complications and demonstrated good immediate and mid-term results. PMID: 32250249 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Predictors and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke After Cardiac Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke is a devastating complication following cardiac surgery, which increases operative morbidity and mortality. Stroke with LVO was associated with worse survival. However, early intervention did not impart a survival benefit. PMID: 32199830 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects and outcomes of cardiac surgery in patients with cardiometabolic syndrome
ConclusionsPatients with CMS were more likely to present with increased comorbidities. Patients with CMS undergoing CABG were at risk for worse short ‐term secondary postoperative outcomes and reduced long‐term survival. The data supports the need for further investigation for risk reduction surrounding operative revascularization.

Outcomes of different aortic arch replacement techniques
ConclusionsThe separate graft technique, which is more common today, showed no difference from the en bloc technique with regard to hospital mortality and morbidity. Furthermore, the late survival and reintervention rates were similar after both procedures.

Bilateral versus single internal thoracic artery grafting in hemodialysis patients
ConclusionsBITA grafting was able to achieve revascularization with minimal manipulation of the diseased ascending aorta without increasing the complication rate. The long-term survival benefit of BITA grafting, however, was unclear in dialysis patients, especially because such patients have a relatively short life expectancy.

The Relationship Between Mitral Annular Calcification, Metabolic Syndrome and Thromboembolic Risk
Conclusion: We have shown that CHA2DS2-VASc score and presence of MetS rates were significantly higher in patients with MAC compared without MAC. Presence of MAC was correlated with CHA2DS2-VASc score, presence of MetS, AF and left atrial diameter and negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction.

Prevalence of Carotid Stenosis and Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Patients Undergoing Non-Coronary Cardiac Surgery
Conclusion: The incidences of stroke and CS ≥ 50% were 4.56% and 7.46%, respectively. The risk factor for stroke was CS ≥ 50% and for CS ≥ 50% were extracardiac arteriopathy, COPD, diabetes mellitus, recent myocardial infarction and higher EuroSCORE II.

A Comparative Study of TAVR versus SAVR in Moderate and High-Risk Surgical Patients: Hospital Outcome and Midterm Results.
CONCLUSION: In this study, we could not detect an advantage in survival when SAVR or TAVR were utilized in intermediate to high surgical risk patients needing aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis. PMID: 31596707 [PubMed - in process]

Increased Glucose Variability Is Associated With Major Adverse Events After Coronary Artery Bypass
ConclusionsIncreased 24-hour, but not 12-hour, postoperative GV following CABG is a predictor of poor outcomes. Preoperative HbA1c is not associated with MAEs after adjusting for postoperative mean glucose and GV.Graphical abstract

Predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation after myocardial revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass: A retrospective cohort study
ConclusionOff ‐pump coronary artery bypass grafting proved a safe and effective procedure, with low postoperative atrial fibrillation occurrence, for myocardial revascularization. Chronic renal insufficiency and the use of venous‐origin graft solely proved to be independent predictor factors for PAOF.

Diabetes and Outcomes following Guided De-Escalation of Antiplatelet Treatment in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Prespecified Analysis from the Randomized TROPICAL-ACS Trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Although diabetic status did not significantly interfere with treatment effects of guided DAPT de-escalation, our results suggest that this approach might be safe and effective in non-diabetic patients, whilst further investigation is definitely warranted in diabetic patients.

Tracheostomy After Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: Risk Factors and Outcomes
ConclusionsPatients who undergo tracheostomy after TAAA repair have a high risk of early and late mortality, as well as prolonged hospitalization. Strategies for improving survival outcomes in tracheostomy patients warrant investigation.
