Ascending-to-Descending Aoritc Bypass: A Simple Solution to a Complex Problem.
CONCLUSIONS: The ascending-to-descending aortic bypass can be performed with low morbidity and mortality. It is an effective solution to complex aortic coarctation and represents a safe single-stage approach for patients with concomitant cardiac pathology.

Mechanisms of early and delayed stroke after systematic off-pump coronary artery bypass.
CONCLUSION: The incidence of stroke after systematic OPCAB was low. Early and delayed strokes were equally distributed. Stroke mechanisms were predominantly embolic. Early and delayed stroke differed in their mechanisms. Early and delayed stroke should be considered as two separate entities and different preventive strategies should be applied in future intervention. PMID: 24560991 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Influencing Factors for Early Acute Cerebrovascular Accidents in Patients with Stroke History following Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Conclusions: This study indicated that patients with severe bilateral carotid stenosis, the left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35%, the postoperative acute myocardial infarction, postoperative atrial fibrillation and postoperative hypotension were more likely to suffer from early acute cerebrovascular accidents when they received OPCAB. Application of Enclose® II proximal anastomotic device may decrease the incidence of early acute cerebrovascular accidents during OPCAB.

Management of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation and Subsequent Outcomes in Contemporary Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery: Insights From the Society of Thoracic Surgeons CAPS‐Care Atrial Fibrillation Registry
ConclusionsPostoperative AF is common following CABG, and such patients continue to have higher rates of postoperative complications. Postoperative AF is significantly associated with increased length of stay following surgery.

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Reduces Cardiac Troponin I Release in Cardiac Surgery: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Current evidence suggests that RIPC reduces cardiac troponin I release in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The clinical significance of these observations merits further investigation.

Statin therapy prior to CABG surgery may improve outcomes
Patients receiving statin therapy before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery appear to have a reduced risk of post-surgical mortality, stroke, and atrial fibrillation (irregular or rapid heart rate), according to an article in the October 2013 issue of The Annals of Thoracic Surgery. These same benefits from statins could not be demonstrated for patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR). "Heart surgery patients typically have a number of other disorders, so we need to optimize the patient's preoperative condition and help ensure the best possible result," said Elmar W...

Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass versus off-pump coronary surgery through sternotomy.
CONCLUSIONS: MIDCAB can be performed safely in appropriately selected patients with outcomes comparable with OPCAB. The potential benefits include shorter hospital stay, reduced need for blood transfusion and faster recovery. PMID: 24112493 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

151 * comparison of intermittent cold versus intermittent warm blood cardioplegia in 2200 adult cardiac surgery patients
Conclusions: In elective cardiac surgery, there was no difference in clinical outcome between cold and warm blood cardioplegia. In emergency patients, however, with most of them operated on in acute coronary syndrome, warm cardioplegia might be an option to improve outcome.

Ringless alfieri mitral valve repair for significant ischemic mitral regurgitation with coronary artery bypass grafting.
Conclusions: Alfieri mitral valve repair is associated with lower risks of mortality, postoperative stroke, and prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stays. Alfieri mitral valve repair and concomitant CABG surgery can be performed in patients with IMR. PMID: 23958527 [PubMed - in process]

Medium-term neurological complications after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting with and without aortic manipulation
ConclusionAlthough there was no difference in the incidence of immediate postoperative neurological complications, there were fewer medium-term neurological complications in OPCAB cases without aortic manipulation.

Relation Between Preoperative Renal Dysfunction and Cardiovascular Events (Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, or Heart Failure or Death) Within Three Months of Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Renal dysfunction is related to long-term mortality and myocardial infarction after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We aimed to investigate the association between preoperative renal dysfunction and early risk of stroke, myocardial infarction, or heart failure after CABG. From the Swedish Web-system for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-based care in Heart disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies registry, we included all 36,284 patients who underwent primary isolated CABG from 2000 to 2008 in Sweden. The Swedish National Inpatient Registry was used to obtain the primary end point, which was rehos...

Atrial fibrillation among Medicare beneficiaries hospitalized with sepsis: Incidence and risk factors
Background: Newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) during severe sepsis is associated with increased risks of in-hospital stroke and mortality. However, the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors associated with AF during the sepsis syndromes are unclear.Methods: We identified patients with preexisting, newly diagnosed, or no AF in a nationally representative 5% sample of Medicare beneficiaries hospitalized with sepsis between 2004 and 2007. We identified multivariable-adjusted demographic and clinical characteristics associated with development of newly diagnosed AF during a sepsis hospitalization.Results: A total of 6...

Does diabetes mellitus increase immediate surgical risk in octogenarian patients submitted to coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
CONCLUSION: In this small consecutive retrospectively analyzed series, there was no significant increase in hospital mortality and morbidity related to diabetes for CABG in octogenarian patients. The impact of the results of this study is limited by the sample size and might be confirmed by future randomized clinical trials.INTRODUÇÃO: O diabetes é um fator de risco conhecido para eventos adversos precoces e tardios em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica (CRM); entretanto, poucos estudos investigaram sua influência no grupo de pacientes mais idosos, especialmente nos octogenários.
