Branch-first continuous perfusion aortic arch replacement. Insight into our results
CONCLUSIONS: BF-CPAR is safe and adds to the armamentarium of Aortic Arch Repair. In elective and uncomplicated acute-dissection cases, it has no mortality and low stroke (1.9%), and vital organ dysfunction risk. Its results which are comparable to many of the best currently reported series, is driven by avoidance of cerebral circulatory arrest and reduction of cardiac and visceral ischemic time.PMID:35238522 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.22.12272-X

High Blood Pressure and Diabetes Are Linked. Here ’ s How to Reduce Your Risk for Both
High blood pressure—also known as hypertension—and Type 2 diabetes are two of the most common medical conditions in the U.S. Unfortunately, they often occur together. Some research has found that 85% of middle-aged or older adults who have Type 2 diabetes also have hypertension, and both conditions elevate a person’s risk for heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease.
These increased risks are significant, and in some cases grave. Researchers have found that people with Type 2 diabetes are up to four times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease than those who don’t have the conditio...

Cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and stage 4 –5 chronic kidney disease receiving direct oral anticoagulants: a multicenter retrospective cohort study
AbstractThe role of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stage 4 –5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) is controversial. Electronic medical records from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved for patients with AF and stage 4–5 CKD receiving oral anticoagulants. Patients were separated into those receiving DOACs (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban) or vitamin K ant agonists (VKA). Primary outcomes included ischemic stroke (IS), systemic thrombosis (SE), major bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, and all-cause dea...

Low Plasma α-Tocopherol Concentrations and Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Diabetic Hemodialysis Patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Plasma α-tocopherol concentrations were not independently associated with cardiovascular outcomes, infectious deaths, or all-cause mortality in diabetic hemodialysis patients. The lack of association can partly be explained by a confounding influence of malnutrition, which should be considered in the planning of trials to reduce cardiovascular risk in dialysis patients.

Transapical aortic valve replacement in extreme-risk patients: outcome, risk factors and mid-term results ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS
TA-TAVR in extreme-risk patients carries a moderate risk of hospital mortality. Severe comorbidities and presence of residual paravalvular leakages affect the mid-term survival, whereas surviving patients have an acceptable quality of life without rehospitalizations for cardiac decompensation.

Use and safety of heparin-free maintenance hemodialysis in the USA
Conclusions
Patient markers of increased risk of bleeding and facility region associated with heparin-free HD use. Despite the potential benefits of avoiding heparin use, heparin-free HD was not significantly associated with decreased hazards of death, bleeding or thrombosis, suggesting that it may be no safer than HD with heparin.

Screening for transient ischemic attacks in hemodialysis patients.
Conclusions: Based on the first study of its kind to date, systematic screening for TIA has a low yield and cannot be relied on alone to identify patients at higher risk of cerebrovascular events. The confounding presence of symptoms attributable to uremia, neuropathy, hypotension and dysglycemia could reduce the sensitivity of established tests, with significant implications for the detection and treatment of TIA in dialysis.

316 * ministernotomy versus conventional sternotomy for aortic valve replacement: propensity score analysis of 808 patients
Conclusions: Aortic valve replacement can be safely conducted through a partial ministernotomy. This approach is not associated with an increased rate of complications. Prospective studies with special emphasis on endpoints such as postoperative pain, duration of postoperative recovery, and quality of life during follow-up, are needed to further clarify the role of ministernotomy for aortic valve replacement.
