Does off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery have a beneficial effect on long-term mortality and morbidity compared with on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery offered superior long-term outcomes compared with on-pump CABG surgery. Best evidence papers were considered to be those that had a follow-up period of ≥5 years, had >50 patients in either cohort, did not utilize concomitant interventions nor comprised low-risk, high-risk or sub-population groups. Where potential duplicate data sets from the same institution were likely, the more credible and recently published study was included. Two hundr...

P-154 * bilobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer: results of a multicentre study on 425 cases
Conclusions: Bilobectomy is associated with increased morbidity. Five-year survival is influenced by tumour stage and completeness of resection. Worse survival occurs in adenocarcinoma and bronchus intermedius involvement. Disclosure: No significant relationships.

Blood Transfusion and the Risk of Atrial Fibrillation after Cardiac Surgery
ConclusionsPerioperative Tx may be associated with excess AF following CABG. This risk increases with increasing number of Tx.

Who might benefit from early aspirin after coronary artery surgery?
A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether early administration of aspirin might optimize vein graft patency. More than 250 papers were found using the reported search, of which 4 new papers in addition to the previous 7 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The authors, journal, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes and results of these papers are tabulated. Early postoperative aspirin administered within 6 h following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been show...

Predictors for Hospital Readmission After Cardiac Surgery
ConclusionsOur study determined risk factors and predictors for hospital readmission after cardiac surgery. This may help to reduce readmission rates.

Influence of percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip® system on renal function in patients with severe mitral regurgitation
Conclusion: Successful PMVR was associated with an improvement in renal function. The improvement in renal function was associated with the extent of MR reduction and pre‐existing kidney dysfunction. Our data emphasize the relevance of PVMR to stabilize the cardiorenal axis in patients with severe mitral regurgitation. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

132 * temporary extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implantation
Conclusion: Temporary ECMO support is a safe and effective alternative to traditional temporary RVAD support in patients after LVAD implantation.

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.

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.

Does preoperative statin therapy prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery?
In conclusion, the available evidence suggests that preoperative statin therapy in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery is associated with the following: (1) a lower incidence and risk of developing postoperative AF, (2) reduced stroke, (3) a shorter hospital stay and (4) reduced levels of inflammatory markers postoperatively. However, while the evidence supports the use of statins preoperatively, the optimal duration, dose and type of statin cannot be concluded from this review.

Impact of age on outcomes following continuous-flow left ventricular assist device implantation
CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that LVAD therapy can be used in the older patients with acceptable mortality and morbidity, and age alone should not be used as the sole criterion for exclusion from LVAD implantation.

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.

New-onset atrial fibrillation at discharge in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery: short- and long-term morbidity and mortality ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS A majority of NOAF patients revert to SR during the first months after surgery. On the other hand, 20–25% of NOAF patients develop chronic AF during long-term follow-up. Almost half of the NOAF patients were hospitalized during follow-up due to cardiovascular causes. Similarly, NOAF was associated with increased mortality due to cardiac causes, but not increased risk of stroke. This highlights the need for proper oral anticoagulation therapy in these patients.
