CALA: Cumulative Volume of Calcified Lesions of the Aorta in Cardiac Surgery
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2022 Jul 11. doi: 10.1055/s-0042-1748194. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOne of the major key questions raised in this retrospective study was to identify any correlation of atherosclerotic plaque volume of the ascending aorta and aortic arch with adverse events such as postoperative stroke, critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy, as well as delirium and all-cause in-hospital mortality. In a second phase of this study, we investigated the relationship between atherosclerotic plaque volume and adverse events regarding the construction of proximal anastomosis on coronary artery bypass grafting pr...

SYNTAX and Coronary Artery Calcium Score Predict Atherosclerotic Plaque Formation in the Ascending Aorta
CONCLUSIONS: CAC score and ACS are strongly correlated with the complexity of coronary arteries in CABG patients. The total CAC score (≥ 400 AU) was independently associated with the degree of SS (>37). To prevent MACCE and mortality in CABG patients, we suggest the measurement of CAC score accompanied with ACS using MDCT as a non-invasive method. Highlight points: • Atherosclerotic plaque formation in aorta and coronary arteries are the main risk factors for stroke and infarction in CABG operations. •SYNTAX score value and aortic atherosclerosis levels are directly correlated. •SYNTAX score may predict the comp...
