Relation of Major Depression to Survival After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
In conclusion, we found a strong and significant association between depression and long-term survival in patients with established ischemic heart disease who underwent CABG. Depression was also associated with an increased risk for a combination of death or rehospitalization for heart failure, myocardial infarction, or stroke.

Comparison of the incidence of postoperative neurologic complications after on-pump versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in high-risk patients: A meta-analysis of 11 studies
Neurological complications, such as stroke and transient ischemic attack, are major adverse cardiac events (MACE) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and markedly reduce patient short-term and long-term survival [1]. Farkouh et al. found that the 5-year rate of stroke was significantly higher after CABG than after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary artery disease [2]. Thus, strategies to reduce neurological complications after CABG can improve patient outcomes.

Abstract 307: Gender Differences in Recurrent Cardiovascular Events Among High-risk Patients With Hyperlipidemia Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: Among high-risk patients (i.e. history of CV events) enrolled in US health plans, women were more likely to have a subsequent CV event and multiple CV events sooner than men. Further research is needed to ascertain whether the gender differences might reflect differences in the intensity of treatment for hyperlipidemia between men and women.

Impact of prasugrel pretreatment and timing of coronary artery bypass grafting on clinical outcomes of patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: from the ACCOAST study
Conclusions In ACCOAST, early (<2.98 days) surgical revascularization carried increased risk of bleeding and ischemic complications without affecting all-cause mortality through 30 days. Baseline troponin and prasugrel pretreatment did not impact ischemic clinical outcomes.

The Effects of Levosimendan and Sodium Nitroprusside Combination on Left Ventricular Functions After Surgical Ventricular Reconstruction in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Patients.
CONCLUSION: This study showed that LS and SNP combination impressive increase in left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions including LVEF. The use of this combination achieved more less inotrophics and IABP requirement. We therefore suggest preoperative and peroperative levosimendan and SNP combination. PMID: 27583039 [PubMed]

Outcomes in elderly and young patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with bivalirudin versus heparin: pooled analysis from the EUROMAX and HORIZONS-AMI trials
Conclusions In a large group of elderly patients enrolled in the EUROMAX and HORIZONS-AMI trials, bivalirudin was associated with lower 30-day rates of non-CABG major bleeding, subacute ST and NACE, with similar 30-day rates of acute ST and mortality.

Outcomes of Patients With a History of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Who Underwent Orbital Atherectomy for Severe Coronary Artery Calcification.
CONCLUSION: Despite a higher-risk baseline profile, patients with a history of CABG had similar angiographic and clinical outcomes compared with patients who had no previous history of CABG. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of orbital atherectomy in these patients. PMID: 28974662 [PubMed - in process]

B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Assessment in Patients Undergoing Revascularization for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: Analysis from the EXCEL Trial.
Conclusions -In the EXCEL trial, elevated baseline BNP levels in patients with LMCAD undergoing revascularization were independently associated with long-term mortality but not non-fatal adverse ischemic or bleeding events. The relative long-term outcomes after PCI vs. CABG for revascularization of LMCAD may be conditioned by the baseline BNP level. Clinical Trial Registration -URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

New-onset atrial fibrillation after PCI and CABG for left main disease: insights from the EXCEL trial and additional studies
Purpose of review To provide an up-to-date review of recent trials examining the incidence and prognostic impact of new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) and the impact of postprocedural NOAF compared to nonsurgical atrial fibrillation. Recent findings A recent analysis from the Evaluation of XIENCE versus Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery for Effectiveness of Left Main Revascularization (EXCEL) trial demonstrated that NOAF is much more frequent following surgical compared with percut...

Sutureless aortic valves in elderly patients with aortic stenosis and intermediate-risk profile
Conclusion The use of sutureless aortic valves in elderly patients with an intermediate-risk profile provided excellent early and mid-term outcomes, providing a reliable tool in patients undergoing surgical AVR in this specific subset of population. These preliminary data need to be investigated with a TAVI control-group in further studies.

Icosapent Ethyl Reduces Ischemic Events in Patients with a History of Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: REDUCE-IT CABG

Investigation of Combined Carotid Endarterectomy and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Outcomes and Adverse Event Risk Factors in the Vascular Quality Initiative
CONCLUSIONS: Combined CEA and CABG provides excellent long-term mortality prevention in patients with co-existing severe coronary and carotid atherosclerosis. Simultaneous CEA and CABG provides equivalent stroke prevention and long-term survival to both a cohort of patients undergoing coronary revascularization within 5 years of CEA and patients undergoing isolated CEA or CABG in the literature. The two most impactful modifiable risk factors towards long-term stroke and mortality prevention for patients undergoing simultaneous CEA-CABG are patch placement at CEA site and adherence to statin medication therapy.PMID:37303074...

GDF ‐15 at admission predicts cardiovascular death, heart failure, and bleeding outcomes in patients with CAD
ConclusionsIn patients with CAD, admission levels of GDF-15 were associated with an increased 1  year risk of CV death, HF, and bleeding outcomes, but not with thrombotic events. GDF-15 may be a prognostic biomarker for CV death, HF, and bleeding outcomes and could be used to refine the risk assessment of these specific clinical outcomes.Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04044066
