The fate at mid-term follow-up of the on-pump vs. off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery
Aims: To evaluate the fate of on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (ON-pump CABG) vs. off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OP-CABG) surgery at mid-term follow-up. Methods: From January 2008 to December 2010, 369 patients underwent surgical myocardial revascularization by means of OP-CABG techniques (n = 166) or with ON-pump CABG (n = 203). Data of the two groups of patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results: As compared with OP-CABG, in the ON-pump CABG patients, mean value of Logistic EuroSCORE (8.1 ± 7.8% vs. 6.2 ± 5.9%, P = 0.04), more extended coronary disease (2.7 ± 0.5 vs. 2.5 ± 0.7 diseased vessels/patient, P

Smoking Is Associated With Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Revascularization With PCI or CABG The SYNTAX Trial at 5-Year Follow-Up
ConclusionsSmoking is associated with poor clinical outcomes after revascularization in patients with complex CAD. This places further emphasis on efforts at smoking cessation to improve revascularization benefits.

The association between platelet transfusion and adverse outcomes after coronary artery bypass surgery ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS Platelet transfusion at the time of CABG is not associated with increased postoperative mortality, in-hospital myocardial infarction, stroke or need for repeat coronary revascularization.

Predictors of acute kidney injury after coronary artery surgery in Jordanians
Conclusion Emergency coronary surgery, mitral regurgitation, prolonged inotropic support, and stroke or transient ischemic attack are independent predictors of acute kidney injury following coronary bypass surgery. Further studies involving patients with isolated coronary bypass surgery as well as valve and combined surgeries may be necessary to complete our understanding of this subject.

Transradial Coronary Intervention Versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Unprotected Left Main and/or Multivessel Disease in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome
The overall safety and efficacy of transradial coronary intervention (TRI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for patients with unprotected left main (UPLM) disease and/or multivessel coronary disease (MVD) presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have not been established. Consecutive patients with ACS undergoing TRI with drug-eluting stent (n = 1431) or CABG (n = 651) for UPLM and/or MVD were included. A propensity-score matching was performed to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics between the 2 cohorts, yielding 524 pairs of matched patients. Median clinical follow-up was 32 months. After ...

On-pump versus off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery among patients with type 2 diabetes in the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes trial ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS Patients with diabetes had greater risk of major cardiovascular events long-term after off-pump CABG than after on-pump CABG.

Open aortic arch replacement in high-risk patients: the gold standard AORTIC SURGERY
CONCLUSIONS Open TAR can be performed with low mortality and morbidity and excellent long-term results even in high-risk patients. Total endovascular repair may represent an option for patients not suitable for open surgery.

Long-term results of stenting versus coronary artery bypass surgery for left main coronary artery disease—A single-center experience
Conclusion PCI was a comparable alternative to CABG for high-risk patients with unprotected LM disease in terms of long-term risks of all-cause death/MI/stroke, but with a significantly higher repeat revascularization rate.

Off-pump or on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting—a dilemma in elderly
Conclusions In patients 65 years of age or older, there was no significant difference between on-pump and off-pump CABG with regard to the composite outcome of death, stroke, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, or new renal-replacement therapy within 30 days and within 12 months after surgery.

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Elderly Patients: Insights from a Comparative Analysis of Total Arterial and Conventional Revascularization
Abstract The benefits of total arterial (TAR) versus conventional (CR) revascularization are controversial in the higher-risk cohort of elderly patients. Taking for granted its benefit on long-term survival, we evaluated the effect of TAR on safety (death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) of patients undergoing CABG. Between 2000 and 2009, 487 patients >75 years underwent isolated CABG at our institution (150 TAR and 337 CR). Patients with arterial free-grafts were excluded. After propensity matching, the outcomes of 131 TAR and 127 CR patients were compared. TAR patients had lower incidence of post-operativ...

Women With Migraines Are More Prone To This Scary Health Condition
This study provides really good quality evidence that migraine in women is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Rebecca Burch, an instructor in the department of neurology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, who wrote an editorial accompanying the study, but was not involved in the research. Migraines have a fairly small effect on cardiovascular risk compared with other known risk factors that have a much larger influence on heart disease, such as smoking, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, Burch said. However, because migraines are relatively common, affecting an estimated 1 in 4 American women, this...

Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Versus Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation for Left Main or Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Individual Patient Data
Conclusions CABG, as compared with PCI with DES, reduced long-term rates of the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke in patients with left main or multivessel CAD. The advantage of CABG over PCI with DES was particularly pronounced in those with multivessel CAD.

Incidence, Characteristics, Predictors, and Outcomes of Repeat Revascularization After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: The SYNTAX Trial at 5 Years
Conclusions Repeat revascularization rates are significantly higher after initial PCI than after initial CABG for complex coronary disease. Repeat revascularization is an independent predictor of death, stroke, and myocardial infarction for myocardial revascularization.
