Effects of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on the prognosis of patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a prospective, multi-center, randomized clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Early intravenous rhBNP administration after PCI significantly lowered the serum concentrations of cTnT and NT-proBNP, increased LVEDd, SV and LVEF, and reduced MACEs, including cardiac death, in patients with acute anterior MI undergoing PCI.

Hybrid repair of aortic arch aneurysms: a comprehensive review.
Authors: Xydas S, Mihos CG, Williams RF, LaPietra A, Mawad M, Wittels SH, Santana O
Abstract
Open total arch replacement (TAR) has become safer with refinements in cerebral protection techniques. The frequent extension of aortic arch aneurysms into the descending thoracic aorta customarily requires a two-staged conventional elephant trunk procedure, carrying relatively high mortality and morbidity risks and high rates of rupture in the interval between the two open surgeries. The technical demands and invasive nature of TAR has therefore precluded many high-risk patients from being surgical candidates for aneurysm ...

Role of cannabis in cardiovascular disorders.
Authors: Goyal H, Awad HH, Ghali JK
Abstract
The growing popularity of medical and recreational consumption of cannabis, especially among the youth, raises immediate concerns regarding its safety and long-terms effects. The cardiovascular effects of cannabis are not well known. Cannabis consumption has been shown to cause arrhythmia including ventricular tachycardia, and potentially sudden death, and to increase the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). These effects appear to be compounded by cigarette smoking and precipitated by excessive physical activity, especially during the first few hours of consumption. Cann...

Percutaneous coronary intervention versus optimal medical therapy for patients with chronic total occlusion: a meta-analysis and systematic review.
Conclusions: PCI was associated with improved survival and reduced MACE relative to OMT.

Systemic blood pressure trends and antihypertensive utilization following continuous-flow left ventricular assist device implantation: an analysis of the interagency registry for mechanically assisted circulatory support.
Conclusions: SBP rises rapidly after CF-LVAD implantation, stabilizing after 3 months, and is matched by concomitant changes in AH utilization; this AH use has increased over consecutive implant years.

On-pump beating heart versus conventional coronary artery bypass grafting: comparative study on early and long-term clinical outcomes.
Conclusions: The OPB strategy may be as safe and effective as the conventional strategy during CABG among patients with similar risk profiles. A prospective randomized trial is warranted to better ascertain the beneficial impact of OPB-CABG as both a viable and a durable alternative strategy to C-CABG.

Independent risk factors for postoperative AKI and the impact of the AKI on 30-day postoperative outcomes in patients with type A acute aortic dissection: an updated meta-analysis and meta-regression.
Conclusions: This meta-analysis firstly provided clinical evidence showing the adverse effects of postoperative AKI on 30-day postoperative outcomes in patients with TAAD and identified high BMI, advanced age, and perioperative sepsis as the independent risk factors for postoperative AKI. These findings suggest that preventive or therapeutic methods to effectively manage postoperative AKI may improve 30-day postoperative outcomes in patients with TAAD.

Predictors and prognosis of left ventricular thrombus in post-myocardial infarction patients with left ventricular dysfunction after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Conclusions: This study indicated that the presence of left ventricular aneurysm, incomplete revascularization, higher SYNTAX score and D-dimer level were the independent predictors of LVT formation in post-MI and LV dysfunction patients, which related to worse clinical outcomes. Future studies for early intervention and complete revascularization in high-risk subgroup patients are expected.

Frozen elephant trunk with modified en bloc arch reconstruction and left subclavian transposition for chronic type A dissection.
Conclusions: Acceptable early and mid-term outcomes were achieved for patients with chronic type A dissection using en bloc technique with LSCA-LCCA transposition during TAR and FET procedure. This technique may be an alternative approach to chronic type A dissection in selected patients.

Total aortic arch replacement using elephant trunk or frozen elephant trunk technique: a case-control matching study.
Conclusion: In regard to the short- and mid-term outcome, there were only slight differences between both techniques. In patients with extensive aneurysmal aortic disease, conventional ET and FET procedures seem to be associated with acceptable satisfactory mid-term outcome.

Triglyceride glucose index for predicting cardiovascular outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease.
Conclusions: The present study, firstly, showed that TyG index was positively associated with future CVEs, suggesting that TyG may be a useful marker for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with CAD.

Obstructive sleep apnoea and coronary artery disease.
Authors: Mandal S, Kent BD
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder, which causes significant nocturnal and daytime symptoms, reduced quality of life, and impaired functional capacity. Importantly, however, OSA also appears to predispose to the development of a number of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, and stroke. In this review we explore its relationship with coronary artery disease (CAD), discussing mechanisms whereby it may promote the development of atherosclerosis, evidence of its effect on CAD incidence and outcomes, and coronary imaging ...

Transcatheter, sutureless and conventional aortic-valve replacement: a network meta-analysis of 16,432 patients.
Conclusions: In selected patients, minimally invasive surgical interventions including TAVI and SL-AVR for severe AS are viable alternatives to conventional surgery. However, TAVI is associated with increased paravalvular regurgitation, whereas TAVI and SL-AVR are associated with increased conduction disturbances compared to CAVR.
