Study on the predictive ability of emergency CHADS < sub > 2 < /sub > score and CHA < sub > 2 < /sub > DS < sub > 2 < /sub > -VASc score for coronary artery disease and prognosis in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple factors jointly affect the severity and prognosis of CAD in patients with acute STEMI. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is better than the CHADS2 score in predicting the severity of coronary artery lesions and prognosis of patients, providing theoretical support for clinical practice.PMID:35928606 | PMC:PMC9344425 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-22-763

Recurrent infarctions due to a dome-shaped pannus above the mitral valve prosthesis.
This report describes a unique case of a 56-year-old female who suffered from recurrent stroke after double mechanical valve replacement. During the four years after the surgery, she remained in normal sinus rhythm, received adequate anticoagulation therapy, and no apparent left atrial thrombus was detected. She underwent redo surgery to prevent further stroke after fourth instance of cerebral infarction. Intraoperative findings revealed a 'dome-shaped' pannus formation covering the sewing ring of the mitral prosthesis circumferentially, probably leading to clot formation and repeated infarctions. She has been stroke free ...

Should we screen patients for carotid artery disease before lung cancer resection?
Conclusions: This retrospective observational study showed that routine preoperative carotid DUS led to few carotid stenosis detection and few perioperative management alterations. Carotid artery disease diagnosis was associated with cardiovascular history and risk factors. Future studies should examine how to select patients who will benefit from a preoperative carotid DUS.

Does arterial cannulation site for aortic dissection repair impact surgical outcomes?
CONCLUSIONS: This study found no statistically significant different in rates of stroke or other complications based on cannulation site. Femoral arterial cannulation thus remains a safe and efficient choice for arterial cannulation in the repair of acute type A aortic dissection.PMID:37065559 | PMC:PMC10089872 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-22-576
