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.

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...

Relationship between early postoperative C-reactive protein elevation and long-term postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery: a retrospective study
Conclusions Postoperative CRP elevation was associated with long-term postoperative MACCE in OPCAB patients. This was mitigated by postoperative statin medication. Furthermore, postoperative CRP elevation was associated with intraoperative parameters reflecting hypoperfusion and inflammation.

Early and midterm outcomes after off pump coronary artery bypass surgery
ConclusionOPCAB can safely be performed with satisfactory short and mid-term outcomes. Further corroborative studies from different regions of the country or a multi-center study will help to establish the suitability of the technique in Indian patients.
