The impact of surgical left atrial appendage amputation/ligation on stroke prevention in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
AbstractStroke is a major adverse event in patients developing atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery. Surgical left atrial appendage amputation/ligation (LAA-A/L) during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is routinely performed in our institution. We analyzed 578 consecutive patients (mean age 69  years, male 82%) undergoing OPCAB with or without concomitant LAA-A/L from 2011 to 2014 at our institution in a prospective observational manner. The safety and efficacy of the concomitant LAA-A/L on preventing early (<30  days) and overall postoperative stroke were examined. A total of 193 patients (3...

Safety of Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Clinical Practice: Findings from 9699 Hospital Discharge Records Original Articles
Conclusions— VT ablation–associated AE rates in clinical practice are similar to those reported in the literature. Over time rates have increased as have the number of AE risk factors per patient. Ablations done electively and at hospitals with higher procedural volume are associated with lower incidence of AEs.

Restrictive Versus Liberal Red Blood Cell Transfusion for Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Conclusion:This meta-analysis showed that restrictive strategies for RBC transfusion are as safe as liberal strategies in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.Key points:Restrictive strategies for red blood cell transfusion are as safe as liberal approaches in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.Longer duration of stay in the intensive care unit is more common in patients managed with a restrictive transfusion approach. However, the overall hospital length of stay appeared to be similar between both groups.Further studies are needed to ascertain threshold triggers for RBC transfusion.Figure.DisclosuresHassan: abott: Other: ...

Mortality and morbidity in patients with atrial fibrillation and liver cirrhosis.
CONCLUSION: In subjects with liver cirrhosis, AF is associated with higher rates of inpatient mortality, stroke, and acute kidney injury compared to those who do not have the cardiac arrhythmia. PMID: 32843936 [PubMed]

Modeling anesthetic times. Predictors and implications for short-term outcomes
Conclusions: Modeling individually anesthetic induction and recovery time on the basis of operative and anesthetic procedure characteristics is feasible. Anesthetic and operative times do not impact perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Patient Blood Management in Cardiac Surgery
AbstractPurpose of the ReviewRecently, several large randomized studies and recommendations regarding patient blood management (PBM) in cardiac surgery were published. This review summarizes the current evidence relating to modern strategies in PBM from the perspective of the cardiovascular anesthesiologist.Recent FindingsPreoperative anemia should be early detected and adequately managed. In patients with intake of anticoagulants or platelet inhibitors, timely and specific stopping should be respected. Specific modification of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) systems aiming to reduce hemodilution and conserve patients ’ blo...

Temporal Trends and Outcomes of Elective Thoracic Aortic Repair and Acute Aortic Syndromes in Bicuspid Aortic Valves: Insights from a National Database
ConclusionData from a national database showed no change in the number of hospitalizations for BAV-related aortopathy, with relatively lower incidence of AAS. Compared with TAV, elective aortic repair for BAV is associated with lower mortality, while BAV-related AAS is associated with higher in-hospital complications.

Ministernotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement Versus Conventional Sternotomy, a Choice for a Better outcome
Conclusion​ Ministernotomy Aortic valve replacement was found to be a safe procedure​ compared to full sternotomy approach. Patients who had their surgery through the mini approach had less amount of blood loss, blood transfusion requirements, ventilation time which all led to less duration of ICU and hos pital stay, resulting in a better outcome for the .patients

Neurosurgery Morbidity and Mortality: A Prospective Surgical and Medical Analysis
CONCLUSION: The mortality and morbidity analysis provided valuable neurosurgical information that may influence future treatment management and corrective recommendations. Indication and judgment errors were significantly associated with mortality. In our study, the patients' comorbidities were not significant for mortality or increased length of stay.PMID:36941096
