Health ‐related quality of life impacts upon 5‐year survival after coronary artery bypass surgery
ConclusionsPre-CABG HRQoL scores may provide clinically relevant prognostic information beyond traditional risk models and prove useful for patient-provider shared decision-making and enhancing pre-CABG informed consent.

Long ‐term outcomes of percutaneous versus surgical revascularization in patients with diabetes and left main coronary artery disease: A meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionIn this meta-analysis with more than 1000 patients with diabetes and unprotected LMCAD followed for a minimum of 3 years, the incidence of repeat revascularization was higher among those treated with PCI, whereas the risk of stroke was higher in patients treated with CABG.

Developing a cardiac surgery unit in the Caribbean: A reflection
ConclusionFrequent outside visits complemented by training in an overseas center, and transfer of knowledge proved to be an effective strategy to develop a cardiac surgery unit in an emerging country with results comparable to accepted international standards.

Effects and outcomes of cardiac surgery in patients with cardiometabolic syndrome
ConclusionsPatients with CMS were more likely to present with increased comorbidities. Patients with CMS undergoing CABG were at risk for worse short ‐term secondary postoperative outcomes and reduced long‐term survival. The data supports the need for further investigation for risk reduction surrounding operative revascularization.

Predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation after myocardial revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass: A retrospective cohort study
ConclusionOff ‐pump coronary artery bypass grafting proved a safe and effective procedure, with low postoperative atrial fibrillation occurrence, for myocardial revascularization. Chronic renal insufficiency and the use of venous‐origin graft solely proved to be independent predictor factors for PAOF.
