Heart surgery and simultaneous carotid endarterectomy - 10-years single-center experience
CONCLUSION: Within the reported patient population of coronary artery heart disease and significant internal carotid stenosis, a one-time approach with CABG or heart-valve surgery and CEA is safe and feasible as justified by clinical and neurological postoperative outcomes.PMID:35841145 | DOI:10.1177/02676591221114953

Atrial Fibrillation after Rheumatic Heart Valve Surgery: Incidence, Predictors, and Outcomes
CONCLUSION: This study identifies risk factors associated with the development of atrial fibrillation after rheumatic valve heart surgery. Older patients, male gender, type of surgery, preoperative AF, BMI, EF before surgery, and LA diameter are independent predictors of AF after cardiac valve surgery.PMID:35108734 | DOI:10.1055/s-0041-1740985

Heart valve surgery and the obesity paradox: A systematic review
SummaryObesity has been associated with increased incidence of comorbidities and shorter life expectancy, and it has generally been assumed that patients with obesity should have inferior outcomes after surgery. Previous literature has often demonstrated equivalent or even improved rates of mortality after cardiac surgery when compared to their lower-weight counterparts, coined the obesity paradox. Herein, we aim to review the literature investigating the impact of obesity on surgical valve interventions. PubMed and Embase were systematically searched for articles published from 1 January 2000 to 15 October 2021. A total o...

Clinical burden associated with postsurgical complications in major cardiac surgeries in Asia ‐Oceania countries: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
ConclusionsThere are opportunities to improve clinical outcomes of patients with high surgical risks and those undertaking heart valve procedures, as they tend to have poorer survival and higher risk in developing postsurgical complications.

MicroRNA 199a Is Downregulated in Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Is Associated with Increased Levels of Sirtuin 1 (SIRT 1) Protein and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events at 3-Year Follow-Up.
CONCLUSIONS Altered expression of miR-199a in myocardial tissue was found to be associated with SIRT 1 upregulation in patients with CAD undergoing CABG and was associated with an increased MACCEs rate at mid-term follow-up. PMID: 30192743 [PubMed - in process]

Stentless Bioprostheses for Aortic Valve Replacement in Octogenarians: The Influence of Coronary Artery Disease
Conclusion Use of the Freestyle stentless valve prosthesis for AVR is feasible also in octogenarians. The existence of coronary artery disease leads to concomitant bypass surgery, but not a higher level of perioperative or long-term mortality.

Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in Cardiac Surgery Incidence and Risk Factors in the United States from the National Inpatient Sample 1998 to 2013
Conclusions The incidence of ischemic optic neuropathy in cardiac surgery did not change during the study period. Development of ischemic optic neuropathy after cardiac surgery is associated with carotid artery stenosis, stroke, and degenerative eye conditions.

Valve Replacement for Moderate Aortic Stenosis in Octogenarians Undergoing Revascularization.
CONCLUSION: In-hospital mortality is higher for octogenarians undergoing CABG+AVR compared to those undergoing isolated CABG. In the present study, a 'prophylactic' AVR was justified in patients with moderate AS, and their increased mortality (versus isolated CABG) was congruent with a higher preoperative co-morbid risk profile. Excellent long- term symptom-free survival further justifies 'prophylactic' AVR in octogenarians undergoing CABG with coexistent moderate AS. PMID: 26897807 [PubMed - in process]
