Effect of on-pump vs. off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with non-dialysis-dependent severe renal impairment: propensity-matched analysis from the UK registry dataset

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Methods All data for patients with a pre-operative creatinine clearance of less than 50 mL/min who underwent elective or urgent isolated OPCABG or ONCABG from 1996 to 2019 were extracted from the UK National Adult Cardiac Surgery Audit (NACSA) database. ONCABG, captured in a large national registry dataset.

Surgeon Preference Impacts Survival Outcomes Analyses for CABG Patients

DAIC

24, 2025 In-patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), a novel analysis evaluating surgeon preference for multi- versus single-arterial grafting may help explain the differing results between prior retrospective analyses and randomized controlled trials regarding long-term survival.

Limited Access to Aortic Valve Procedures in Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Areas

Journal of the American Heart Association

We estimate the relationship between local deprivation ranking and differences in volumes of aortic valve replacement, which include transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), versus coronary artery bypass graft surgery and laparoscopic colectomy (LC).

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Launches New Valve Surgery Risk Calculators

DAIC

The analysis of 5,457 patients reported an average growth rate in cardiac surgery after prior TAVR of 150% per year overall, and was much higher since low-risk TAVR approval in 2019. Operative mortality and stroke were elevated in SAVR after TAVR patients with or without concomitant CABG at 9.3% and 3.8%, respectively.

PlasmaBlade-assisted surgical septal myectomy: technique and our experience

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Methods Electronic medical records were reviewed for preoperative, operative, and follow-up data of the patients who underwent septal myectomy using PEAK PlasmaBlade at our institute between January 2019 and December 2022. Results Twenty-nine patients underwent septal myectomy using the PEAK PlasmaBlade. mmHg at rest and 56.5 ± 34.9 mmHg
