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

Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder in the population-a review on the epidemiology of sleep apnea.
Authors: Franklin KA, Lindberg E
Abstract
The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) defined at an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5 was a mean of 22% (range, 9-37%) in men and 17% (range, 4-50%) in women in eleven published epidemiological studies published between 1993 and 2013. OSA with excessive daytime sleepiness occurred in 6% (range, 3-18%) of men and in 4% (range, 1-17%) of women. The prevalence increased with time and OSA was reported in 37% of men and in 50% of women in studies from 2008 and 2013 respectively. OSA is more prevalent in men than in women and increases with age and obesity. Smoking and al...

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in left main stem stenosis: outcomes, concerns and controversies.
Authors: Athanasopoulos LV, Athanasiou T
Abstract
Left main stem (LMS) disease is known to be a poor prognostic factor in terms of morbidity or mortality. Traditionally, it has been treated with constitution of bypass to provide required haemodynamic stability. We searched the literature for evidence on off-pump (OFP) surgery for treating this high-risk group of patients focusing in our review on postoperative outcomes, concerns and controversies. The majority of the studies identified showed favourable or equal outcomes of OFP when compared to conventional approach. All of the studies, apart from two, which showed...

Left ventricular assist device exchange for the treatment of HeartMate II pump thrombosis.
Conclusions: It is generally feasible to treat pump thrombosis via LVAD exchange. Yet, the exchange procedure is not without risk and the risk of re-thrombosis (34%), stroke (29%), postoperative dialysis (29%) and perioperative complications remains high.

Single or dual antiplatelet therapy after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: an updated systemic review and meta-analysis.
Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests that compared with DAPT, SAPT after TAVR is more likely to lead to a decline of 30-day mortality along with the reduced risk of bleeding and no increased risk of stroke. However, more clinical data and evidence from randomized controlled trials are warranted to clarify the optimal post-TAVR antiplatelet strategy.
