Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation After Thoracic Aortic Surgery
Conclusions Several risk factors contribute to the incidence of POAF after thoracic aortic surgery. We found that POAF significantly increased 30-day operative mortality (p < 0.0001). Our findings can be used to develop a risk stratification system for the prediction of POAF.

Operative Mortality and Complication Risk Model for All Major Cardiovascular Operations in Japan
Conclusions These risk models increased the discriminatory power of former models. Thus, our models can be said to reflect the current state of Japan. With respect to major complications, useful feedback can now be provided through the Japan Cardiovascular Surgery Database Web-based system.

Coronary Artery Surgery Versus Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Octogenarians: Long-Term Results
Conclusions In this real-world setting, surgical coronary revascularization remains the standard of care for patients with left main or multivessel disease. The long-term outcomes of current percutaneous coronary intervention technology in octogenarians are yet to be determined with adequately powered prospective randomized studies.

Surgical Ventricular Restoration: Is There Any Difference in Outcome Between Anterior and Posterior Remodeling?
Conclusions Patients presenting with posterior remodeling showed worse clinical signs of angina and congestive heart failure (CHF) and a higher proportion of moderate to severe MR; however in the present experience early and long-term outcomes after SVR seemed to be unaffected by remodeling location.

A More Specific Anticoagulation Regimen Is Required for Patients After the Cox-Maze Procedure
Conclusions Our results indicate that the decision to discontinue OAC after the Cox-Maze procedure should not be based solely on CHADS2 scores; rather, rhythm status, echocardiographic findings, and patient risk for bleeding should be considered. These findings underscore the need for an OAC protocol for patients who have undergone the Cox-Maze procedure with appropriate LAA management.

Analysis of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma During Ascending and Transverse Aortic Arch Surgery ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions The utilization of aPRP was associated with a reduction in allogeneic blood transfusions as well as a decrease in early postoperative morbidity during repairs of the ascending and transverse arch aorta using PHCA.

Early and Long-Term Mortality in 536 Patients After the Cox-Maze III Procedure: A National Registry-Based Study ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions Registry-based follow-up showed low early and long-term cardiovascular mortality and no stroke-related mortality. This is important baseline information when evaluating current surgical and nonsurgical treatment of atrial fibrillation.

Preservation of Motor Function After Spinal Cord Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury Through Microglial Inhibition ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions Minocycline limits microglial activation, paralleling functional preservation after aortic cross-clamping. These data suggest functional microglia contribute to reperfusion injury after spinal cord ischemia. The effects of minocycline demonstrate a potential pharmacological therapy as well as demonstrating a potential cellular target in preventing paraplegia after aortic intervention.

Factors Influencing Hospital Length of Stay After Robotic Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions Multiple variables affect LOS after TECAB. Older patients, patients on hemodialysis, patients with cerebrovascular disease, and those with higher general risk scores should expect prolonged LOS. Intraoperative surgical difficulties and conversion to open coronary artery bypass grafting also lead to extended LOS. Postoperative events that are known to prolong LOS in open coronary artery bypass grafting also prolong LOS after TECAB.

The Impact of Specific Preoperative Organ Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions The presence of chronic renal failure most profoundly decreases survival, followed by severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and prior stroke. Furthermore, multiple OD systems significantly decrease short- and long-term survival.

Conclusions Preoperative anemia does not directly increase risks of surgical revascularization performed within 21 days of MI.

The Role of Head Computed Tomography Imaging in the Evaluation of Postoperative Neurologic Deficits in Cardiac Surgery Patients ORIGINAL ARTICLES: ADULT CARDIAC
Conclusions This study reviewed the utility of early postoperative noncontrast head CT in cardiac surgery patients. With focal neurologic deficits, this imaging modality was positive for approximately one third of patients, but rarely positive for NFD. Its use in this setting has limited utility.
