Management of acute ischemic stroke after pulmonary resection: incidence and efficacy of endovascular thrombus aspiration
ConclusionSince cerebral infarction impairs the patient ’s quality of life, thrombus removal should be considered if possible.

Incident cardiovascular events and imaging phenotypes in UK Biobank participants with past cancer
Conclusions Cancer history is linked to increased risk of incident CVDs and adverse cardiac remodelling independent of shared vascular risk factors.

P-119 * different measures to prevent atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing pulmonary resection for lung cancer: evidence from a comprehensive network meta-analysis of randomized and observational studies
Conclusions: Beta-blockers and flecainide are effective in reducing the incidence of postoperative AF in patients after pulmonary resections which is not the case with digoxin; data on remaining treatments are sparse and preclude drawing definite conclusions. Disclosure: No significant relationships.

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.

Clinical Reasoning: A 68-year-old man with a history of lung cancer presenting with right-sided weakness and aphasia
A 68-year-old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on warfarin, left subclavian thrombosis treated with carotid-subclavian bypass, and lung adenocarcinoma treated with pneumonectomy, chemotherapy, and prophylactic cranial irradiation and in remission since 1987 was admitted to our neurocritical care unit with acute onset of right-sided weakness, expressive aphasia, and lethargy. On admission his temperature was 101.7°F, and initial blood pressure was 140/60 mm Hg. There was no nuchal rigidity. He was alert and mute with impaired comprehension. He had left gaze preference. Vision was impaired in the right field. Ther...

Impact of Lifestyle Diseases on Postoperative Complications and Survival in Elderly Patients with Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that the presence of a lifestyle disease was a significant prognostic factor for postoperative complications, but not of survival, in elderly patients with stage I NSCLC. Therefore, postoperative complications may be influenced by the presence of a lifestyle disease. PMID: 28382266 [PubMed - in process]

CMS Requirements for Mandatory Shared Decision Making for Cardiac Procedures and Other Tests
This Viewpoint discusses Centers for Medicare& Medicaid Services (CMS) policies requiring physicians to engage patients in shared decision making prior to implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, lung cancer screening, and left atrial appendage closure for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, and argues that better guidance is needed if the requirements are to promote meaningful shared decisions.

Cancers, Vol. 13, Pages 4012: Atrial Fibrillation after Lung Cancer Surgery: Prediction, Prevention, and Anticoagulation Management
rdinale Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication of the early postoperative period of various types of surgery, including that for lung cancer. Although induced by the homeostatic alterations related to surgery, there is evidence that it is not a mere stand-alone transitory event, but it represents a relevant complication of surgery, bearing considerable prognostic consequences. Different methods have therefore been explored to predict the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and prevent it. In particular, the age among clinical factors, and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide ...

Impact of cancer diagnosis on distribution and trends of cardiovascular hospitalizations in the USA between 2004 to 2017
CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to declining trends in patients without cancer, primary cardiovascular admissions in patients with cancer is increasing. The highest admission rates are in patients with hematological cancer and the most common cause of admission is heart failure.PMID:35913736 | DOI:10.1093/ehjqcco/qcac045

Pharmacological interventions for preventing atrial fibrillation after lung surgery: systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionCurrent clinical evidence supports the effectiveness of pharmacological intervention with beta-blockers, amiodarone, magnesium sulfate, or calcium-channel blockers to reduce the incidence of POAF after lung surgery in patients with lung cancer. In the absence of contraindications, prophylaxis with beta-blockers seems to be the most effective of the treatments studied.
