Predicting early mortality following single ‐stage coronary artery or valve surgery and carotid endarterectomy
ConclusionsConsidering that postoperative stroke rate and mortality was acceptably low, single-stage approach is an effective option in such selected high-risk patients.

Ticagrelor with and without aspirin in patients with a prior coronary artery bypass graft undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: the TWILIGHT-CABG study
CONCLUSIONS: In high-risk patients with prior CABG, ticagrelor monotherapy reduced bleeding without compromising ischaemic outcomes compared with ticagrelor plus aspirin.PMID:35979636 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-22-00319

White blood cell count and clinical outcomes after left main coronary artery revascularization: insights from the EXCEL trial
Conclusion There was no association between baseline WBCc and 30-day or 5-year clinical outcomes after PCI or CABG. The absence of a clear incremental increase in events with increasing WBCc in the current analysis indicates that WBCc should not routinely be used as a prognostic marker or to guide revascularization decisions in patients with LMCAD.

Gender Differences in Failure-to-Rescue After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
CONCLUSIONS: Women who underwent isolated, non-emergent CABG had statistically similar frequencies of FTR compared to their male counterparts despite experiencing greater rates of morbidity and mortality. Further efforts to narrow the gender outcome gap after CABG should focus on preoperative and intraoperative phases of care instead of postoperative management.PMID:34774815 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.09.070

Evaluation of Prescribing Practices and Outcomes Using Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulants After Cardiac Surgery
Clin Ther. 2021 May 30:S0149-2918(21)00203-4. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2021.04.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE: Cardiac surgery patients frequently require anticoagulation. Warfarin remains the preferred agent, and a few trials have reported negative outcomes with the use of direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in these patients. Therefore, limited literature exists that supports the dosing, safety, and efficacy of DOACs within the cardiac surgery population.METHODS: This single-center, retrospective analysis was conducted at a tertiary academic medical center. All data were extrapolated from electronic med...

Simultaneous transaortic transcatheter aortic valve implantation and off ‐pump coronary artery bypass: An effective hybrid approach
ConclusionsA hybrid approach combining transaortic TAVI and OPCAB might be a safe and feasible method of treatment in high ‐risk patients presenting with severe AS and CAD who are not eligible for conventional surgical or interventional solutions.

Application of the Modified High Bleeding Risk Criteria for Japanese Patients in an All-Comers Registry of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention 　- From the CREDO-Kyoto Registry Cohort-3.
CONCLUSIONS: The J-HBR criteria successfully identified those patients with very high bleeding risk after PCI, who represented 64% of patients in this all-comers registry. PMID: 33298644 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for the Treatment of Left Main Coronary Artery Disease.
Authors: Cho SC, Park DW, Park SJ Abstract Severe stenosis of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) generally occurs as a result of atherosclerosis and compromises the blood supply to a wide area of myocardium, thereby increasing the risk of serious adverse cardiac events. Current revascularization strategies for patients with significant LMCA disease include coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), both of which have a range of advantages and disadvantages. In general, PCI is associated with a lower rate of periprocedural adverse events and provides more rapid recovery, w...

Plasma Metal Concentrations and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort
Conclusions: Our study suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1521 Received: 22 December 2016 Revised: 17 September 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Published: 19 October 2017 Address correspondence to T.

Sex Differences in the Epidemiology of New-Onset In-Hospital Post-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Atrial Fibrillation: A Large Multicenter Study Original Articles
Conclusions— These novel data on sex-specific characteristics of new-onset AF after isolated CABG show that women had lower adjusted risk for post-CABG AF and experienced shorter episodes. Investigation of sex-specific impacts on outcomes is needed to identify optimal strategies for prevention and management to ensure all patients achieve the best possible outcomes.

The Racial Paradox in Multiarterial Conduit Utilization for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Conclusions Despite similar rates of arterial grafting for black patients and white patients in this large single-center cohort, black patients continued to have significantly worse late survival when compared with white patients. Continued evaluation as to the causes of this disparity is warranted.
