Long-Term Single Centre Outcomes of Patients with Chronic Renal Dialysis Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
CONCLUSIONSCardiac surgery in DD-CRF patients is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Interestingly, overall mortality was mainly none cardiac-related, where elderly patients or those presented with CHF had the worst life expectancy. However, subsequent kidney transplantation positively impact long-term survival in such patients.

Results of left ventricular reconstruction with and without mitral valve surgery
ConclusionsThe clinical outcomes of left ventricular reconstruction are comparable to those of left ventricular reconstruction plus mitral valve surgery in patients with left aneurysm and moderate mitral regurgitation.

Clinical Outcomes of Mitral Valve Reoperations in the United States: An Analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Database
ConclusionsDespite a high-risk patient profile, surgical outcomes of reoperative MVS were acceptable, particularly in elective cases with prior mitral valve surgery and without endocarditis.

Hybrid Coronary Revascularization Versus On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Conclusions For selected patients, HCR is associated with a faster postoperative recovery as well as similar short-term and long-term outcomes when compared with standard on-pump CABG.

Outcomes of Coronary Artery Bypass and Stents for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Stenosis
Conclusions The early advantages of stenting over coronary artery bypass grafting have been shown to progressively shift to coronary artery bypass grafting over time. Further larger sample randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm the results.

Reoperation for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery: Outcomes and Considerations for Expanding Interventional Procedures
Conclusions Redo CABG can be performed safely with low early and late morbidity and mortality. Important predictors of long-term mortality such as age, diabetes, renal disease, and peripheral vascular disease were identified and should guide the treatment strategy chosen for this challenging group of patients.

Improved Outcomes of Total Arterial Myocardial Revascularization in Elderly Patients at Long-Term Follow-Up: A Propensity-Matched Analysis
Conclusions Total arterial myocardial revascularization in elderly patients is associated with a reduced late incidence of cardiac-related mortality and major cerebral and cardiovascular events compared with the use of saphenous grafts, thereby providing improved long-term benefits also in this specific subset of patients.

Comparison of 3-Year Outcomes for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Drug-Eluting Stents: Does Sex Matter?
Conclusions For women, the advantage of CABG surgery over DES is very similar to what was found for men, and this advantage persisted for patients with and without high-risk characteristics.

Midterm Outcome of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Young Patients: A Multicenter Italian Study
Conclusions Patients less than 50 years of age undergoing CABG have an excellent outcome compared with elderly patients. These data indicate that despite its premature onset, coronary artery disease in young patients does not have a more aggressive course than that in older patients.

Impact of Ultrafiltration on Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery: The Michigan Experience
Conclusions Patients exposed to CUF had a higher adjusted risk of AKI. Clinical teams should consider lower volumes of CUF among patients with low creatinine clearance to minimize the risk of AKI.

Robotic Total Arterial Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Seven-Year Single-Center Experience and Long-Term Follow-Up of Graft Patency
Conclusions Robotic off-pump CABG using IMA grafts is a safe and effective procedure in selected patients. The long-term outcome and patency of IMA grafts are excellent.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting After Percutaneous Intervention Has Higher Early Mortality: A Meta-Analysis
Conclusions Patients undergoing CABG after prior percutaneous therapy have a higher incidence of myocardial infarction and mortality in the postoperative period. However, midterm survival is comparable in both cohorts.

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Reduces Early Stroke in Octogenarians: A Meta-Analysis of 18,000 Patients
Conclusions Coronary artery bypass in octogenarians can be performed safely with low early mortality. Although off-pump operations reduce the risk of early stroke, all other adverse events are comparable in on- and off-pump coronary artery bypass operations. Data regarding late mortality is at present limited; however, both on- and off-pump procedures appear to produce comparable survival.
