P113 * Clinical outcomes following double and triple valve surgery in Hong Kong
Conclusion: Patient requiring double and triple valve surgeries represent a heterogeneous and complex group of patients. They are a significant portion of patients undergoing valve surgery in our Institution. Outcomes in comparison to pre-operative risk scores and International Databases are satisfactory.

Effects of blood pressure lowering on outcome incidence in hypertension. 1. Overview, meta-analyses, and meta-regression analyses of randomized trials
Background:Antihypertensive treatment is based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) started since 1966. Meta-analyses comprehensive of all RCTs but limited to RCTs investigating blood pressure (BP) lowering in hypertensive patients are lacking. Objectives:Two clinical questions were investigated: the extent of different outcome reductions by BP lowering in hypertensive patients, and the proportionality of outcome reductions to SBP, DBP, and pulse pressure (PP) reductions. Methods:PubMed between 1966 and December 2013 (any language), Cochrane Collaboration Library and previous overviews were used as data sources for ident...

Non Invasive Evaluation of Cardiac Hemodynamics in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
Conclusions Blood pressure, cardiac morphology and function are significantly modified by acute volume depletion and such variations are strictly interrelated. SW and LVEDd/height2.7 may identify ESRD patients carrying an higher volume load.

Results of “elephant trunk” total aortic arch replacement using a multi-branched, collared graft prosthesis
We report on our experience with a simplified elephant trunk (ET) procedure with a multi-branched prosthesis (Vascutek® Siena™ Collared Graft). It consists of a proximal portion (20 cm) with prefabricated side branches, a collar and a distal portion (30 cm). The collar, which can be trimmed into any desired diameter, constitutes the suture portion to the descending aorta. Radiopaque markers in the distal portion indicate the landing zone. Between January 2011 and June 2013, 20 consecutive patients (10 women; mean age, 66 ± 9.3 years) underwent ET procedure, including 6 re-do cases. Underlying aortic diseases were ...

Moderate and Severe Preoperative Chronic Kidney Disease Worsen Clinical Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Meta-Analysis of 4992 Patients Structural Heart Disease
Conclusions— Both moderate and severe preoperative CKD significantly worsen transcatheter aortic valve implantation prognosis. Future studies on risk evaluation, prevention, and postoperative management are needed.

Comparison of contemporary risk scores for predicting outcomes after surgery for active infective endocarditis
In conclusion, risk models developed specifically from endocarditis surgeries and incorporating endocarditis variables have improved prognostic ability of outcomes, and can play an important role in the decision making towards surgery for endocarditis.

Impact Of Moderate Preoperative Chronic Kidney Disease On Mortality After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Preoperative chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been found as an important determinant of clinical outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) [1]. In a recent meta-analysis including 4992 TAVI patients, we demonstrated that CKD (stages 3-5) significantly increases early (30-day) and 1-year all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, early stroke, acute kidney injury (AKI and AKI stages 2-3), need for dialysis, and length of hospitalization [1]. Intriguingly, even moderate CKD (stage 3) was found to be associated to worse outcomes after TAVI, in opposition to previous studies [2,3].

Effects of Withdrawing Versus Continuing Renin-Angiotensin Blockers on Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Renal Insufficiency Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization: Results from the CAPTAIN Trial
Conclusion In patients with moderate renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization, withholding ACEI/ARB reduced (without statistical significance) the incidence of contrast-induced AKI. Additionally, a lower rise in post procedural creatinine levels was also noted. This low cost intervention could be considered when referring a patient for cardiac catheterization.

Effects of withdrawing vs continuing renin-angiotensin blockers on incidence of acute kidney injury in patients with renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization: Results from the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor/Angiotensin Receptor Blocker and Contrast Induced Nephropathy in Patients Receiving Cardiac Catheterization (CAPTAIN) trial
Conclusion In this pilot study of patients with moderate renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization, with-holding ACEI/ARB resulted in a non-significant reduction in contrast-induced AKI and a significant reduction in post-procedural rise of creatinine. This low cost intervention could be considered when referring a patient for cardiac catheterization.

Clinical Benefit of Warfarin in Dialysis Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving dialysis are at higher risk of stroke (1). Warfarin has been shown to reduce the frequency of strokes by 64.0% in patients with AF; however, its use in dialysis patients has not received consensus owing to the lack of randomized controlled trial data and associated increased bleeding risk.

Ten year experience of using a novel metabolic protocol in 'off pump' coronary artery bypass revascularization
Conclusions: Off-pump coronary artery bypass coupled with this novel metabolic protocol was associated with a low operative mortality and acceptable perioperative morbidities, including patients with left main coronary artery disease. These benefits are apparent at both short- and medium-term follow up.
