Long-term Outcomes of Concomitant Surgical Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
CONCLUSIONS: Concomitant atrial fibrillation ablation during cardiac surgery is safe, does not increase the rate of perioperative complications, and confers the benefit of long-term survival after cardiac surgery in adults. Atrial fibrillation ablation also improved cardiac surgery patients' long-term survival compared with the matched general atrial fibrillation population.PMID:36216085 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.09.036

Real-World Outcomes of On- vs Off-Pump Coronary Bypass Surgery: Result from Korean Nationwide Cohort
CONCLUSIONS: In this contemporary, nationwide, clinical practice claim registry, off-pump CABG was associated with higher long-term risks of mortality, MI, and repeat revascularization than on-pump CABG.PMID:34400133 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.07.035

The Impact of Urate-Lowering Therapy in Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients: Insights from a Population-Based, Propensity Score-Matched Analysis
Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2021 Oct 31. doi: 10.1002/cpt.2473. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe role of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events has been widely discussed, but its evidence for the secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) is limited. Therefore, we conduct a population-based, propensity score-matched cohort study to investigate the cardiovascular outcomes among post-MI patients with and without ULT. A total of 19,042 newly diagnosed in-hospital MI patients were selected using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database between 1 January 2005 and 31 December 2016...

Impact of Individual Income Level on Late Mortality After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a lower individual income level had an increased risk of the poorer long-term outcomes after CABG as compared with the highest individual income level quartile.PMID:35305990 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.02.055

Incidence and predictors of intracranial bleeding after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
CONCLUSIONS: In an unselected nationwide population undergoing CABG, the incidence of ICB was non-negligible and showed a relatively high incidence rate during the early postoperative period. Post-CABG ICB was associated with a high risk of premature death. Further research is needed to stratify high-risk patients and personalize therapeutic decisions for preventing ICB after CABG.PMID:36035927 | PMC:PMC9411799 | DOI:10.3389/fcvm.2022.863590
