Utility of a smartphone application in assessing palmar circulation prior to radial artery harvesting for coronary artery bypass grafting: rationale and design of the randomised CAPITAL iRADIAL-CABG trial
Introduction There is emerging evidence supporting the use of the radial artery (RA) as a preferred secondary conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as it is associated with higher rates of graft patency at 5 years when compared with saphenous vein grafts (SVG). The modified Allen’s test (MAT) is traditionally regarded as the standard of care in the assessment of ulnar artery (UA) patency prior to RA harvesting. Unfortunately, due to high false-positive rates, a substantial number of pre-CABG patients are found to have an abnormal MAT despite normal UA patency, resulting in inappropriate exclusion from RA...

The Impact of Urate-Lowering Therapy in Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients: Insights from a Population-Based, Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2021 Oct 31. doi: 10.1002/cpt.2473. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe role of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events has been widely discussed, but its evidence for the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) is limited. Therefore, we conduct a population-based, propensity score-matched cohort study to investigate the cardiovascular outcomes among post-MI patients with and without ULT. A total of 19,042 newly diagnosed in-hospital MI patients were selected using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2016...

Perioperative safety of simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting with non-cardiac surgery of moderate-to-severe severity
Background To evaluate the perioperative safety of simultaneous off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) with non-cardiac surgery. Methods From September 2013 to January 2019, patients who underwent OPCABG surgery in the Department of Cardiology, Peking University First Hospital were included in this retrospective study. A total of 54 patients who underwent simultaneous surgery were defined as simultaneous surgery group. A total of 108 patients who had recently undergone isolated OPCABG surgery, and had similar vascular reconstruction methods were selected for matching, and these patients were defined a...

Disability-free survival after major cardiac surgery: a population-based retrospective cohort study
CMAJ Open. 2021 Apr 16;9(2):E384-E393. doi: 10.9778/cmajo.20200096. Print 2021 Apr-Jun.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Cardiovascular research has traditionally been dedicated to "tombstone" outcomes, with little attention dedicated to the patient's perspective. We evaluated disability-free survival as a patient-defined outcome after cardiac surgery.METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 40 years and older who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or single or multiple valve (aortic, mitral, tricuspid) surgery in Ontario between Oct. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2016. The primary outcome was disability...

Clinical outcomes of multivessel coronary artery disease patients revascularized by robot-assisted vs conventional standard coronary artery bypass graft surgeries in real-world practice
The treatment of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD) by coronary stenting (PCI) and the “gold standard” conventional coronary-artery bypass grafting (C-CABG) has been well explored in the literature. However, the clinical outcomes of robot-assisted CABG (R-CABG) vs C-CABG in MVD patients in real-world practice were unknown. We aimed to study the clinical outcomes of MVD patients who underwent R-CABG (robotic MIDCAB) and C-CABG at our institution between January 2005 and December 2013. A total of 516 MVD patients received CABG were recruited into this study. Among them, 281 patients received R-CAB...

Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
We aimed to compare the outcomes of combined surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to concurrent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a large U.S. population sample. The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried for all patients diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis who underwent SAVR with CABG or TAVR with PCI during the years 2016-2017. Study outcomes included all-cause in-hospital mortality, acute stroke, pacemaker insertion, vascular complications, major bleeding, acute kidney injury, sepsis, non-home discharge, le...

Characteristics and Outcome of Patients ≥75 Years of Age with Prior Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Admitted for an Acute Coronary Syndrome
The prognostic role of prior coronary artery bypass (CABG) in elderly patients admitted to hospital for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the prognosis of patients aged ≥75 years admitted for an ACS with or without prior history of CABG. The primary outcome of the study was a composite of overall mortality, recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), non-fatal stroke and re-hospitalization for heart failure at 1-year follow-up. We included 2253 ACS patients, aged 81 (78-85) years enrolled in three multicentre studies (the Italian Elderly ACS study, the LADIES...

Clinical outcomes of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease treated with robot-assisted coronary artery bypass graft surgery versus one-stage percutaneous coronary intervention using drug-eluting stents
A number of studies have reported on treatment outcomes of coronary stenting (PCI) for multivessel coronary artery diseases (MVD), and compared them with the conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, the clinical outcomes of robot-assisted CABG (R-CABG) in comparison with PCI in MVD patients have not been investigated. We recruited retrospectively MVD patients receiving R-CABG and PCI with drug-eluting stents for all vessels in one stage between January 2005 and December 2013 at our institution with at least 3 years of outcomes were retrospectively recruited and analyzed. A total of 638 MVD patients w...

Safety and efficacy of a simple cardiotomy suction system as a blood salvage procedure during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery
AbstractThe ideal blood-salvaging strategies for off-pump coronary artery bypass graft procedures have not been determined. We developed a new blood-salvaging system that uses a cardiotomy suction. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of this novel method. This was a retrospective study involving 50 consecutive patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. In 25 patients, a simple cardiotomy suction system was used (cardiotomy suction group). These individuals were compared with 25 historical cohorts who were treating with the conventional cell saver system (cell saver group). There was no ...

Glucose screening in pregnancy and future risk of cardiovascular disease in women: a retrospective, population-based cohort study
Publication date: Available online 27 March 2019Source: The Lancet Diabetes & EndocrinologyAuthor(s): Ravi Retnakaran, Baiju R ShahSummaryBackgroundIn studies to date, gestational diabetes has consistently been associated with an increased future risk of cardiovascular disease, irrespective of the antepartum screening protocol or diagnostic criteria by which gestational diabetes is diagnosed. We reasoned that the resultant heterogeneity in the severity of dysglycaemia in women with gestational diabetes suggests that the relationship between gestational glycaemia and subsequent cardiovascular disease probably extends into t...

The epidemiology of coronary artery bypass surgery in a community hospital: A comparison between 2 periods
During the last decades, the increased number of percutaneous interventions procedures causes a significant change in the profile of patients referred to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We aimed to study changes in patients’ characteristics and procedural outcomes of patients referred to CABG in a community hospital during the first 15 years of the millennium. A historical cohort study of all patients who underwent CABG in Cape Cod Hospital was performed. The period was divided into 2 sub-periods, 2000 to 2008 and 2009 to 2014. Patients’ characteristics and procedure outcomes were compared. Data on age, sex, c...
