Combined coronary and carotid artery disease: what to operate on first? or both at the same time?
Heart disease and stroke rank amongst the top four leading causes of death in the United States.1 Studies have demonstrated a positive correlation between the two, even suggesting that carotid artery disease may predict the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD).2,3 In fact, some have found that the prevalence of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) in those undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may be as high as 8-14%.4 Despite such co-existence, there remains no clear consensus Guidelines for revascularization in patients with co-existing CAD and CAS.

Single Versus Multiarterial Grafts for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Analysis of Recent Data
ACCORDING TO THE Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 37.3 million people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the United States.1 The main cause of death for patients with DM, types 1 and 2, is coronary artery disease (CAD), with a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of mortality for heart disease.2 The trend of increased morbidity and mortality in patients with DM is likely due to its more complex and diffuse CAD pattern.3 Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard compared to percutaneous coronary intervention for CAD in patients with DM, with reductions in mortality, myocardial infarction, and ...

Use and safety of aprotinin in routine clinical practice: A European postauthorisation safety study conducted in patients undergoing cardiac surgery
CONCLUSION The data in the NApaR indicated that in this patient population, at high risk of death or blood loss undergoing cardiac surgery, including complex cardiac surgeries other than iCABG, the incidence of adverse events is in line with data from current literature, where aprotinin was not used. TRIAL REGISTRATION EU PAS register number: EUPAS11384.

New-onset Atrial Fibrillation after Cardiac Surgery is a Significant Risk Factor for Long-term Stroke: An 8-Year Prospective Cohort Study
This study sought to determine the incidence and significance of new-onset atrial fibrillation as a risk factor for long-term stroke and mortality after cardiac surgery.Design: A prospective cohort study.Setting: 2 large tertiary public hospitalsParticipants: The study comprised 3008 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve surgery from 2008 to 2012.Interventions: None.Measurements and Main Results: new-onset atrial fibrillation was analysed as a risk factor for postoperative stroke using a multivariable logistic regression model following adjustment for potential confounders.

Sex-Specific Associations Between Preoperative Anemia and Postoperative Clinical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative anemia was associated with inferior clinical outcomes after cardiac surgery. The associations between hemoglobin and outcomes were distinct for women and men, with different spline knot points identified (13 and 14 g/dL, respectively). Clinicians should consider data-driven approaches to determine preoperative hemoglobin values associated with increasing risk for adverse perioperative outcomes across sexes.

Brain Oxygen Supply in Older Adults During Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The neurological complications after cardiovascular surgery are relatively frequent, and they generate high increases of morbidity and mortality [1, 2]. This problem is especially relevant for elderly patients, because neurological complications, including stroke, often lead to high mortality and poor long-term outcomes [3].

Evaluation of the risk factors for neurological and neurocognitive impairment after selective cerebral perfusion in thoracic aortic surgery
ConclusionsWe found that prolonged SCP time and coronary artery disease increased the risk of postoperative stroke. Heterogeneous carotid plaque, history of cerebrovascular disease, concomitant CABG and prolonged operation time were further significant predictors of POCD.

Incorporating Indices of Postoperative Glycemic Variability in Postoperative Outcome Prediction Modeling: How Accurate Can it Get?
PERIOPERATIVE hyperglycemia, as well as the amplitude and frequency of glycemic variation are associated with increased morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery, regardless of diabetic state.1,2 In patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, early postoperative hyperglycemia (blood glucose concentration [BGC]>250 mg/dL) significantly increases the risks of postoperative complications (nonfatal stroke, myocardial infarction, sepsis, death).3

Intraoperative Stroke During Robotic Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass
THE INCIDENCE OF stroke after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is between 1% and 5% and is one of the most detrimental complications.1 Off-pump CABG is associated with a lower stroke rate than traditional on-pump CABG (0.7% v 1.4%).2 Stroke after CABG is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and increased cost secondary to longer hospital stays and rehabilitation. The authors ’ presented case demonstrates the complexity of perioperative management of a patient scheduled for elective off-pump total endoscopic coronary artery bypass (TECAB) grafting with recent transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke...

Short-Term Outcomes After Off-Pump or On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in the Octogenarian Patients
Despite large randomized controlled trials demonstrating similar outcomes for of-pump or on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, the debate between proponents of each technique remains current.1 On-pump technique improves surgical exposure on a nonbeating heart but exposes the patient to a powerful inflammatory response and to ischemic stroke owing to cross clamping and cannulation. Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) may reduce blood transfusion, postoperative length of hospital stay, postoperative neurocognitive decline, and systemic anticoagulation, but heart repositioning may be associated with hemodynamic instabi...
