Long-term major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) rate : Comparison of retrograde and antegrade recanalization of chronic total coronary occlusions.
CONCLUSION: The long-term MACCE rate after unsuccessful recanalization was significantly higher, which was driven by a higher MACCE rate after unsuccessful versus successful antegrade approaches. In contrast, procedural success in the retrograde group had no impact on outcome. PMID: 28004266 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Vitamin C supplementation for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that vitamin C supplementation reduces the risk of CVD in healthy participants and those at increased risk of CVD, but current evidence is limited to one trial of middle-aged and older male physicians from the USA. There is limited low- and very low-quality evidence currently on the effect of vitamin C supplementation and risk of CVD risk factors. PMID: 28301692 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Low glycaemic index diets for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
CONCLUSIONS: There is currently no evidence available regarding the effect of low GI diets on cardiovascular disease events. Moreover, there is currently no convincing evidence that low GI diets have a clear beneficial effect on blood lipids or blood pressure parameters. PMID: 28759107 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Whole grain cereals for the primary or secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence from RCTs of an effect of whole grain diets on cardiovascular outcomes or on major CVD risk factors such as blood lipids and blood pressure. Trials were at unclear or high risk of bias with small sample sizes and relatively short-term interventions, and the overall quality of the evidence was low. There is a need for well-designed, adequately powered RCTs with longer durations assessing cardiovascular events as well as cardiovascular risk factors.

Comparison of tidal volume and deep breath preoxygenation techniquesundergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery: effects of hemodynamicresponse and arterial oxygenation
Conclusion: In patients with normal ejection fraction scheduled for CABG, 8DBs can be an alternative to TVB preoxygenation. Our results should be compared with those of other studies. PMID: 29151335 [PubMed]

Comparison of Long-term Outcomes in Patients with Premature Triple-vessel Coronary Disease Undergoing Three Different Treatment Strategies: A Prospective Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: PCI and CABG provided equal long-term benefits for all-cause death and cardiac death for PTVD patients. Patients undergoing MT alone had the worst long-term clinical outcomes. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov; Identifier: NCT02634086. https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT02634086?term=NCT02634086&rank=1. PMID: 29271373 [PubMed - in process]

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion for Prevention of Thromboembolic Events
More than 600  000 patients in the United States undergo cardiac operations each year, including coronary artery bypass graft operations, valve repair or replacement procedures, or other more complex operations. Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who undergo these procedures are at risk for postoperative th romboembolic complications, with the left atrial appendage being a common site of thrombus formation. Occlusion of the left atrial appendage may reduce the risk of thromboembolic stroke and can be performed intraoperatively at the time of cardiac operations. The most common surgical approaches to ac hieve left atr...

The Rural Inpatient Mortality Study: Does Urban-Rural County Classification Predict Hospital Mortality in California?
CONCLUSION: Hospitals in medium-sized metro counties are associated with unfavorable Medicare mortality ratings, but current methods to assign mortality ratings may hinder fair comparisons. Patient transfers from rural locations to regional medical centers may contribute to these results, a potential factor that future research should examine. PMID: 29616911 [PubMed - in process]

Differences in management and outcomes for men and women with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSION: Women with STEMI are less likely to receive invasive management, revascularisation, or preventive medication at discharge. The reasons for these persistent differences in care require investigation. PMID: 30025513 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Total Arterial Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A 10-Year Experience.
Conclusions: Total arterial OPCAB with bilateral IMA, radial artery, and right gastroepiploic artery grafting yielded satisfactory early and midterm outcomes in this patient group, without a significant increase in early mortality or morbidity. Moreover, the long-term outcomes are also positive. PMID: 30203792 [PubMed - in process]

Mitral valve surgery with or without coronary bypass grafting: eight-year cohort study.
CONCLUSION: MVR+CABG compared to MVR patients had more comorbidities and greater operative risk, and were independently associated with higher operative mortality and composite morbidity, but not independently associated with higher long-term mortality. PMID: 31415499 [PubMed - in process]

Platelet function, coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients with previous coronary and cerebrovascular ischemic events
CONCLUSION: Platelet aggregability, coagulation and endogenous fibrinolysis showed similar results among CAD patients with and without previous IS/TIA. Therefore, it remains necessary to identify other targets to explain the higher bleeding risk presented by these patients.
