Combined coronary and carotid artery disease: what to operate on first? or both at the same time?
Heart disease and stroke rank amongst the top four leading causes of death in the United States.1 Studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between the two, even suggesting that carotid artery disease may predict the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD).2,3 In fact, some have found that the prevalence of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) in those undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may be as high as 8-14%.4 Despite such co-existence, there remains no clear consensus Guidelines for revascularization in patients with co-existing CAD and CAS.

Sex differences in clinical outcomes amongst 1105 patients admitted with hip fractures
AbstractAmongst hip fracture admissions, mortality is higher in men than in women. However, sex differences in other care-quality measures have not been well-documented. We aimed to examine sex differences in mortality as well as a wide range of underlying health indicators and clinical outcomes in adults  ≥ 60 year of age admitted with hip fractures from their own homes to a single NHS hospital between April-2009 and June-2019. Sex differences in delirium, length of stay (LOS) and mortality in hospital, readmission, and discharge destination, were examined by logistic regression. There were 7 87 women and 318 men o...

Single Versus Multiarterial Grafts for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Analysis of Recent Data
ACCORDING TO THE Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 37.3 million people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the United States.1 The main cause of death for patients with DM, types 1 and 2, is coronary artery disease (CAD), with a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of mortality for heart disease.2 The trend of increased morbidity and mortality in patients with DM is likely due to its more complex and diffuse CAD pattern.3 Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard compared to percutaneous coronary intervention for CAD in patients with DM, with reductions in mortality, myocardial infarction, and ...

Single vs Multi-Arterial Grafts for CABG - Analysis of Recent Data
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there are 37.3 million people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the United States.1 The main cause of death for DM patients, type 1 and 2, is coronary artery disease (CAD), with a 2 to 4-fold increased risk of mortality for heart disease.2 The trend of increased morbidity and mortality in DM patients is likely due to its more complex and diffuse CAD pattern.3 Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard when compared to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for CAD in DM with a reduction in mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke as d...

New VOYAGER PAD Analysis Confirms Consistent Benefit of XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) Plus Aspirin Following Lower Extremity Revascularization (LER)
TITUSVILLE, NJ, March 5, 2023 – The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced data from a new prespecified analysis from the Phase 3 VOYAGER PAD clinical trial reinforcing the benefits of the XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) vascular dose (2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg once daily) over standard of care (aspirin alone), demonstrating consistent benefit at 30 days, 90 days and up to three years following LER in patients with PAD. Lower extremity revascularization, also called peripheral revascularization, is a procedure that restores blood flow in blocked arteries or veins. This analysis of ...

Real-World Study Confirms Benefit of XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) for Secondary Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Cancer Patients
TITUSVILLE, NJ, December 9, 2022 – The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced observational data from eight years of clinical practice showing that the oral Factor Xa inhibitor XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) is associated with comparable effectiveness and safety to the Factor Xa inhibitor apixaban for the treatment of cancer-associated thromboembolism (CAT) in a broad cohort of patients with various cancer types. Patients with CAT are at a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which is the second-leading cause of death in people with cancer.1Data from the Observational Study in Cancer-A...

Sevoflurane alleviates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via actitation of heat shock protein-70 in patients undergoing double valve replacement surgery
This study investigated the cardioprotective effect(s) of sevoflurane in rheumatic heart disease patients undergoing double valve replacement surgery (DVRS) under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and its potential mechanisms (ChiCTR2100051220 on http://www.ChiCTR.org.cn). Forty-six patients were randomly assigned to undergo propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia during surgery. The levels of myocardial injury markers, inflammatory cytokines, heat shock protein-70 (HSP70), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were measured from blood samples. Mean arterial pressure, cardiac index, and stroke volume index were significantly highe...
