On ‐ versus off‐pump CABG in octogenarians: A propensity‐matched analysis from the UK National Database
ConclusionThe data show similar in-hospital mortality in octogenarians regardless of the revascularization technique used. Off-pump when compared with on-pump CABG is associated with a lower incidence in postoperative neurological events but a higher need for renal dialysis.

Aortic root remodeling with external annuloplasty for acute type A aortic dissection: Midterm results
ConclusionIn a center with expertise in valve ‐sparing procedures, ARREAA is a reasonable option in the surgical management of AAAD in selected patients. This technique stabilizes the aortic annulus and preserves root anatomy for durable outcomes.

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.

Bilateral versus single internal thoracic artery for coronary artery bypass grafting with end ‐stage renal disease: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionsBITA grafting is safe in patients with ESRD although there was no survival benefit at 3.7 years. Additional studies with longer follow ‐up are required to determine the potential late benefits of BITA grafting in patients with ESRD.
