Abstract
Over the past 50 years, the number and invasiveness of percutaneous cardiovascular procedures globally have increased substantially. However, cardiovascular interventions are inherently associated with a risk of acute brain injury, both periprocedurally and postprocedurally, which impairs medical outcomes and increases health-care costs. Current international clinical guidelines generally do not cover the area of acute brain injury related to cardiovascular invasive procedures. In this international Consensus Statement, we compile the available knowledge (including data on prevalence, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation and management) to formulate consensus recommendations on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of acute brain injury caused by cardiovascular interventions. We also identify knowledge gaps and possible future directions in clinical research into acute brain injury related to cardiovascular interventions.

Intersections and Challenges in the Management of Acute Coronary Syndrome and Stroke: Pathophysiology, Treatment Dilemmas, and Integrated Prevention Strategies. J Clin Med 2025; 14:2354. [PMID: 40217803 PMCID: PMC11989927 DOI: 10.3390/jcm14072354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2025] [Revised: 03/16/2025] [Accepted: 03/24/2025] [Indexed: 04/14/2025] Open
Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stroke are interconnected conditions that often share risk factors such as atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and systemic inflammation. When these events occur simultaneously, they present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This review explores the pathophysiological mechanisms linking ACS and stroke, including common pathways like plaque instability, cardioembolism, and endothelial dysfunction, while highlighting the distinct features of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. The manuscript provides an overview of diagnostic strategies, emphasizing the role of biomarkers, advanced neuroimaging, and risk stratification tools in guiding acute management. Furthermore, the review delves into treatment approach, emphasizing the need to balance reperfusion therapies for ACS with thrombolysis or thrombectomy for ischemic stroke while carefully managing the challenges posed by anticoagulation in cases complicated by bleeding. Long-term strategies for secondary prevention are examined, including antithrombotic regimens tailored to the dual risk of thrombosis and bleeding, as well as lipid-lowering and blood pressure management. Future perspectives highlight the potential of novel pharmacological agents, neuroprotective therapies, and AI-driven tools to enhance patient outcomes. This review underscores the importance of integrated, multidisciplinary care and identifies key areas for future research to optimize the management of these high-risk patients.

Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring during cardiac surgery: an observational cohort study. Open Heart 2024; 11:e002939. [PMID: 39521610 PMCID: PMC11552001 DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2024-002939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2024] [Accepted: 10/21/2024] [Indexed: 11/16/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) on stroke and operative mortality after coronary and/or valvular operations. METHODS This was an observational study of coronary and/or valvular heart operations from 2010 to 2021. Baseline characteristics and postoperative outcomes were compared by the use or non-use of IONM, which included both electroencephalography and somatosensory-evoked potentials. Propensity-score matching was employed to assess the association of IONM usage with operative mortality and stroke. RESULTS A total of 19 299 patients underwent a cardiac operation, of which 589 (3.1%) had IONM. Patients with IONM were more likely to have had baseline cerebrovascular disease (60% vs 22%). Patients with IONM had increased operative mortality (5.3% vs 2.5%) and stroke (4.9% vs 1.9%). Moreover, stroke and mortality were highly correlated, with 14% of strokes resulting in death, while only 2% of non-strokes resulted in death (p<0.001). The unadjusted Kaplan-Meier survival estimate was significantly lower among the group with IONM (p<0.001, log-rank). After propensity matching, however, there was no difference in operative mortality or stroke across each group: 3.6% vs 5.3% for mortality and 3.7% vs 5.4% for stroke. In the propensity-matched cohort, the Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were not significantly different across each group (p=0.419, log-rank). CONCLUSIONS Adjusting for baseline risk, there was no significant difference in adverse outcomes across each group. IONM may serve as a biomarker of cerebral ischaemia, and empirical adjustments based on changes may provide benefits for neurologic outcomes in high-risk patients. The efficacy of IONM during cardiac surgery should be prospectively validated.

[PMID: 39446480 PMCID: PMC11544338 DOI: 10.2196/55481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 10/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As individuals age, the incidence and mortality rates of cerebrovascular accidents significantly rise, leading to fine motor impairments and cognitive deficits that impact daily life. In modern occupational therapy, assessing manual dexterity and cognitive functions typically involves observation of patients interacting with physical objects. However, this pen-and-paper method is not only time-consuming, relying heavily on therapist involvement, but also often inaccurate. Digital assessment methods, therefore, have the potential to increase the accuracy of diagnosis, as well as decrease the workload of health care professionals. OBJECTIVE This study examined the feasibility of an interactive electronic pegboard for the assessment and rehabilitation of patients with stroke. METHODS We explored the pegboard's clinical applicability by examining the relationship among stages, timing, and difficulty settings, as well as their alignment with patient capabilities. In total, 10 participants used a prototype of the pegboard for functional and task assessments; questionnaire interviews were conducted simultaneously to collect user feedback. RESULTS Patients with stroke consistently required more time to complete tasks than expected, significantly deviating from the initial time frames. Additionally, the participants exhibited a slight reduction in performance levels in both manual dexterity and cognitive abilities. Insights from questionnaire responses revealed that the majority of participants found the prototype interface easy and enjoyable to use, with good functionality. CONCLUSIONS This preliminary investigation supports the efficacy of interactive electronic pegboards for the rehabilitation of the hand functions of patients with stroke, as well as training their attentional and cognitive abilities. This digital technology could potentially alleviate the burden of health care workers, positioning it as a valuable and intelligent precision health care tool.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Strokes pose a substantial health burden, impacting 1 in 6 people globally. One-tenth of patients will endure a second, often more severe, stroke within a year. Alarmingly, a younger demographic is being affected due to recent lifestyle changes. As fine motor and cognitive issues arise, patient disability as well as the strain on caregivers and health care resources is exacerbated. Contemporary occupational therapy assesses manual dexterity and cognitive functions through object manipulation and pen-and-paper recordings. However, these assessments are typically isolated, which makes it challenging for therapists to comprehensively evaluate specific patient conditions. Furthermore, the reliance on one-on-one training and assessment approaches on manual documentation is inefficient and prone to transcription errors. OBJECTIVE This study examines the feasibility of using an interactive electronic pegboard for stroke rehabilitation in clinical settings. METHODS A total of 10 patients with a history of stroke and 10 healthy older individuals were recruited. With a limit of 10 minutes, both groups of participants underwent a series of challenges involving tasks related to manual operation, shape recognition, and color discrimination. All participants underwent the Box and Block Test and the Purdue Pegboard Test to assess manual dexterity, as well as an array of cognitive assessments, including the Trail Making Test and the Mini-Mental Status Examination, which served as a basis to quantify participants' attention, executive functioning, and cognitive abilities. RESULTS The findings validate the potential application of an interactive electronic pegboard for stroke rehabilitation in clinical contexts. Significant statistical differences (P<.01) were observed across all assessed variables, including age, Box and Block Test results, Purdue Pegboard Test outcomes, Trail Making Test-A scores, and Mini-Mental Status Examination performance, between patients with a history of stroke and their healthy older counterparts. Functional and task testing, along with questionnaire interviews, revealed that patients with a history of stroke demonstrated prolonged completion times and slightly inferior performance. Nonetheless, most patients perceived the prototype as user-friendly and engaging. Thus, in the context of patient rehabilitation interventions or the evaluation of patient cognition, physical functioning, or manual dexterity assessments, the developed pegboard could potentially serve as a valuable tool for hand function, attention, and cognitive rehabilitation, thereby mitigating the burden on health care professionals. CONCLUSIONS Health care professionals can use digital electronic pegboards not only as a precise one-on-one training tool but also as a flexible system that can be configured for online or offline, single-player or multiplayer use. Through data analysis, a more informed examination of patients' cognitive and functional issues can be conducted. Importantly, patient records will be fully retained throughout practices, exercises, or tests, and by leveraging the characteristics of big data, patients can receive the most accurate rehabilitation prescriptions, thereby assisting them in obtaining optimal care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) can be managed with staged (CEA before CABG), reverse staged (CABG before CEA) or synchronous treatment. This single-center retrospective study evaluated the outcomes in patients undergoing planned synchronous CEA and CABG. METHODS Between 2000 and 2020 a total of 185 patients with symptomatic triple-vessel or left main coronary artery disease associated with 70-99% asymptomatic or 50-99% symptomatic uni- or bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis underwent synchronous CEA and CABG at our institution. Study endpoints were defined as mortality, stroke and myocardial infarction at 30 days. Additionally, the composite endpoint of these events was investigated. RESULTS At 30 days, mortality, stroke and myocardial infarction rates were 5.9%, 8.1% (permanent [unresolved deficit at discharge] 5.4%) and 3.8%, respectively, and the composite endpoint was reached in 13.0% of patients. Patients suffering from a stroke more frequently had a contralateral 70-99% ICA stenosis (60.0% vs. 17.3%; p < 0.001), peripheral artery disease (73.3% vs. 38.9%; p = 0.013) and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time (mean 119 ± 62 min vs. 84 ± 29 min; p = 0.012). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the duration of cardiopulmonary bypass (odds ratio [OR] 1.024; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.002-1.046; p = 0.034), a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 5.097; 95% CI 1.161-22.367; p = 0.031) and peripheral artery disease (OR 5.814; 95% CI 1.231-27.457; p = 0.026) as independent risk factors for reaching the composite endpoint. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing synchronous CEA and CABG face an elevated risk of perioperative cardiovascular events, particularly an increased stroke risk in patients with symptomatic and bilateral ICA stenosis.

Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke After Cardiac Interventions in the United States. JAMA Neurol 2024; 81:264-272. [PMID: 38285452 PMCID: PMC10825786 DOI: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2023.5416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Importance Ischemic stroke is a serious complication of cardiac intervention, including surgery and percutaneous procedures. Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is an effective treatment for ischemic stroke and may be particularly important for cardiac intervention patients who often cannot receive intravenous thrombolysis. Objective To examine trends in EVT for ischemic stroke during hospitalization of patients with cardiac interventions vs those without in the United States. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study involved a retrospective analysis using data for 4888 US hospitals from the 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample database. Participants included adults (age ≥18 years) with ischemic stroke (per codes from the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification), who were organized into study groups of hospitalized patients with cardiac interventions vs without. Individuals were excluded from the study if they had either procedure prior to admission, EVT prior to cardiac intervention, EVT more than 3 days after admission or cardiac intervention, or endocarditis. Data were analyzed from April 2023 to October 2023. Exposures Cardiac intervention during admission. Main Outcomes and Measures The odds of undergoing EVT by cardiac intervention status were calculated using multivariable logistic regression. Adjustments were made for stroke severity in the subgroup of patients who had a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score documented. As a secondary outcome, the odds of discharge home by EVT status after cardiac intervention were modeled. Results Among 634 407 hospitalizations, the mean (SD) age of the patients was 69.8 (14.1) years, 318 363 patients (50.2%) were male, and 316 044 (49.8%) were female. A total of 12 093 had a cardiac intervention. An NIHSS score was reported in 218 576 admissions, 216 035 (34.7%) without cardiac intervention and 2541 (21.0%) with cardiac intervention (P < .001). EVT was performed in 23 660 patients (3.8%) without cardiac intervention vs 194 (1.6%) of those with cardiac intervention (P < .001). After adjustment for potential confounders, EVT was less likely to be performed in stroke patients with cardiac intervention vs those without (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.27; 95% CI, 0.23-0.31), which remained consistent after adjusting for NIHSS score (aOR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.22-0.35). Among individuals with a cardiac intervention, receiving EVT was associated with a 2-fold higher chance of discharge home (aOR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.14-4.29). Conclusions and Relevance In this study, patients hospitalized with ischemic stroke and cardiac intervention may be less than half as likely to receive EVT as those without cardiac intervention. Given the known benefit of EVT, there is a need to better understand the reasons for lower rates of EVT in this patient population.

The role of carotid artery stenosis in predicting stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting in a Chinese cohort study. Sci Rep 2023; 13:21536. [PMID: 38057374 PMCID: PMC10700536 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47640-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Current guidelines give priority to surgical treatment of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), especially in symptomatic patients. Carotid artery stenting is an alternative treatment for narrowing of the carotid arteries. This study sought to demonstrate the role of severe CAS in predicting stroke after CABG and assess the efficacy of carotid artery stenting in preventing postoperative stroke in a Chinese cohort. From 2015 to 2021, 1799 consecutive patients undergoing isolated CABG surgery were retrospectively recruited in a Chinese cohort. The predictive value of severe CAS in postoperative stroke and carotid stenting in preventing postoperative stroke was statistically analyzed. The incidence of postoperative stroke was 1.67%. The incidence of CAS with stenosis ≥ 50% and ≥ 70% was 19.2% and 6.9%. After propensity matching, the incidence of stroke was 8.0% in the severe CAS group and 0% in the non-severe CAS group. We successfully established an optimal predictive nomogram for predicting severe CAS in patients undergoing CABG. Carotid artery stenting was found ineffective in preventing postoperative stroke. The present study provides the incidence of CAS and postoperative stroke in a Chinese cohort, identifies severe CAS as an independent risk factor for postoperative stroke after CABG, constructs a nomogram predicting the incidence of severe CAS, and evaluates the effectiveness of carotid artery stenting in preventing postoperative stroke after CABG.

Abstract
Background New-onset postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) develops in approximately one-third of patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with a higher incidence of ischemic stroke and increased mortality. However, it remains unknown to what extent ischemic stroke events in patients with POAF are cardioembolic and whether anticoagulant therapy is indicated. We investigated the long-term risk and pathogenesis of postoperative stroke in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting experiencing POAF. Methods and Results This was a register-based cohort study. Data from the WDHR (Western Denmark Heart Registry) were linked with the DNPR (Danish National Patient Register), the Danish National Prescription Register, and the Cause of Death Register. All stroke diagnoses were verified, and ischemic stroke cases were subclassified according to pathogenesis. Furthermore, investigations of all-cause mortality and the use of anticoagulation medicine for the individual patient were performed. A total of 7813 patients without a preoperative history of atrial fibrillation underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2018, in Western Denmark. POAF was registered in 2049 (26.2%) patients, and a postoperative ischemic stroke was registered in 195 (2.5%) of the patients. After adjustment, there was no difference in the risk of ischemic stroke (hazard ratio [HR], 1.08 [95% CI, 0.74-1.56]) or all-cause mortality (HR, 1.09 [95% CI, 0.98-1.23]) between patients who developed POAF and non-POAF patients. Although not statistically significant, patients with POAF had a higher incidence rate (IR; per 1000 patient-years) of cardioembolic stroke (IR, 1 [95% CI, 0.6-1.6] versus IR, 0.5 [95% CI, 0.3-0.8]), whereas non-POAF patients had a higher incidence rate of large-artery occlusion stroke (IR, 1.1 [95% CI, 0.8-1.5] versus IR, 0.7 [95% CI, 0.4-1.4]). Early initiation of anticoagulation medicine was not associated with a lower risk of ischemic stroke. However, patients with POAF were more likely to die of cardiovascular causes than non-POAF patients (P<0.001). Conclusions We found no difference in the adjusted risk of postoperative stroke or all-cause mortality in POAF versus non-POAF patients. Patients with POAF after coronary artery bypass grafting presented with a higher, although not significant, proportion of ischemic strokes of the cardioembolic type.

Long-term outcomes of percutaneous versus surgical revascularization in patients with diabetes and left main coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. J Card Surg 2022; 37:4646-4653.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) relative to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with diabetes and unprotected left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) are not well established. OBJECTIVES To perform a meta-analysis evaluating the long-term outcomes after PCI with drug-eluting stents (DES), as compared with CABG, in patients with diabetes and unprotected LMCAD. METHODS MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported outcomes after PCI with DES versus CABG in unprotected LMCAD among patients with diabetes. To evaluate the long-term effects of these interventions, we restricted this analysis to studies with a minimum follow-up period of 3 years. Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled with a random-effects model. Quality assessment and risk of bias were performed according to Cochrane recommendations. RESULTS Four RCTs with a total of 1080 patients were included, 553 (51.2%) of whom underwent PCI. There was no difference for individual outcomes of all-cause mortality (RR: 1.21; 95% CI: 0.86-1.71; p = .27; I2 = 28%), cardiovascular death (RR 1.29; 95% CI: 0.76-2.18; p = .34; I2 = 0%), or myocardial infarction (MI) (RR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.61-1.45; p = .79; I2 = 0%). However, the risk of stroke was reduced with PCI relative to CABG (RR: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.18-0.94; p = .04; I2 = 0%), whereas the risk of any repeat revascularization was higher in the PCI group (RR: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.44-2.75; p < .001; I2 = 0%). The risk of the composite outcome of all-cause mortality, MI, stroke, or repeat revascularization was higher after PCI compared with CABG (RR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.09-1.56; p = .004; I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION In this meta-analysis with more than 1000 patients with diabetes and unprotected LMCAD followed for a minimum of 3 years, the incidence of repeat revascularization was higher among those treated with PCI, whereas the risk of stroke was higher in patients treated with CABG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Perioperative stroke is a severe complication of cardiac surgery. We assessed the incidence of stroke over time, the association between stroke and mortality and identified preoperative factors independently associated with perioperative stroke, in a large nationwide cardiac surgery population. METHODS All patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting in Sweden 2006-2017 were included in a registry-based observational cohort study based on prospectively collected data. Multivariable logistic and Cox regression models were used to assess associations between perioperative stroke and mortality and to identify factors associated with stroke. The median follow-up was 6 years (range 0-12). RESULTS There were 441 perioperative strokes in 36 898 patients. The mean incidence was 1.2% and decreased marginally over time [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.97 per year (95% confidence interval 0.94-1.00), P = 0.035]. Stroke patients had a higher overall mortality risk during follow-up [adjusted hazard ratio 2.30 (2.00-2.64), P < 0.001], with the highest risk during the first 30 postoperative days [adjusted hazard ratio (7.29 (5.58-9.54), P < 0.001]. The strongest independent preoperative factors associated with stroke were prior cardiac surgery [adjusted OR 2.89 (1.40-5.96)], critical preoperative condition [adjusted OR 2.55 (1.73-3.76)], previous stroke [adjusted OR 1.77 (1.35-2.33)], preoperative angina requiring intravenous nitrates [adjusted OR 1.67 (1.28-2.17)], peripheral vascular disease [OR 1.63 (1.25-2.13)] and advanced age [OR 1.05 (1.03-1.06) per year]. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of perioperative stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting has remained stable. Patients with perioperative stroke had a markedly higher adjusted risk of death early after surgery. The risk declined over time but remained higher during the entire follow-up period.

Abstract
Background There is a paucity of direct data on the incidence and predictors of intracranial bleeding (ICB) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Methods The Korean National Health Insurance database was used to identify patients without prior ICB who underwent CABG. The outcomes of interest were the time-dependent incidence rates of ICB and the associated mortality. Results Among 35,021 patients who underwent CABG between 2007 and 2018, 895 (2.6%) experienced an ICB during a median follow-up of 6.0 years. The 1-year cumulative incidence of ICB was 0.76%, with a relatively high incidence rate (9.93 cases per 1,000 person-years) within the first 1–30 days. Subsequent incidence rates showed a sharp decline until 3 years, followed by a steady decrease up to 10 years. The 1-year mortality rate after ICB was 38.1%, with most deaths occurring within 30 days (23.6%). The predictors of ICB after CABG were age ≥ 75 years, hypertension, pre-existing dementia, history of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, and end-stage renal disease. 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a devastating complication. Patient comorbidities and intraoperative elements contribute to the risk of CVA. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for CVA in Veterans undergoing CABG. METHODS Veterans undergoing isolated CABG from 2008 to 2019 were retrospectively identified using the Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Program (VASQIP) database. Thirty-day postoperative outcomes were observed. Univariate analysis followed by multivariable logistic regression identified independent risk factors for postoperative CVA. Receiver operating characteristic diagnostics identified optimal inflection points between continuous risk factors and odds of CVA. RESULTS Twenty-eight thousand seven hundred fifty-seven patients met inclusion criteria. Incidence of CVA was 1.1% (310 cases). In multivariate analysis, preoperative cerebrovascular disease had the strongest association with postoperative CVA (adjusted odds ratio = 2.29; p < .001). There was an inverse relationship between CVA incidence and ejection fraction (EF), with EF of 35%-39% conferring a 2.11 times higher risk compared to EF >55% (p < .001). CVA incidence was not different in on-pump versus off-pump cases; however, after 104 min or more on bypass patients had a 55% greater adjusted odds of CVA (p < .001). Other risk factors included poor kidney function, prior myocardial infarction, and intra-aortic balloon pump use. CONCLUSION The risk of CVA after CABG is multifactorial and involves multiple organ systems, including cardiac disease, poor renal function, and cerebrovascular disease, which was the strongest contributing risk factor. Optimization of these comorbidities and time on bypass may help improve clinical outcomes and lower the risk of this devastating complication.

Abstract
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (ACSD) is the world's premier clinical outcomes registry for adult cardiac surgery and a driving force for quality improvement in cardiac surgery. Echocardiographic data provide a wealth of hemodynamic, structural, and functional data and have been part of STS ACSD data collection since its inception. An increasing body of evidence suggests that the use of echocardiography in patients undergoing cardiac surgery has a positive impact on postoperative outcomes. In this report, we describe and summarize the type and rate of reporting of echocardiography-related variables in the STS ACSD, including the Adult Cardiac Anesthesiology Module, from July 2017 to December 2019 for the most frequently performed cardiac surgical procedures. With this review, we aim to increase awareness of the importance of collecting accurate and consistent echocardiography data in the STS ACSD and to highlight opportunities for growth and improvement.

Abstract
A 67-year-old man undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting had aortic calcification that prohibited aortic cross-clamping. When ventricular fibrillation developed during surgery, we instituted hypothermic fibrillatory arrest to avoid aortic cross-clamping. In addition to our patient's case, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using hypothermic fibrillatory arrest during cardiac surgery.

Abstract
Porcelain aorta (PA) is an asymptomatic atherosclerotic disease, characterized by circumferential calcification throughout the whole perimeter of the aorta. It is seen in 2% to 9.3% of patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and makes manipulation of the ascending aorta impossible. It has been clearly shown that most emboli seen and detected during the CABG procedure occur during aortic cross-clamping and aortic side-clamping. Manipulation of porcelain or a severely atherosclerotic aorta increases the risk of perioperative stroke. The incidence of stroke after CABG is between 0.48% and 2.9%, and the risk is correlated with the extent and severity of the atherosclerotic disease. A conventional CABG procedure involves successive steps that include cannulation of the ascending aorta, application of a cross-clamp to the aorta, and partial clamping of the aorta to create the proximal anastomosis. Therefore in procedures that involve cannulation, clamping, or proximal anastomosis, and where aortic manipulation is inevitable, preassessment of the atherosclerotic aortic plaques is crucial. Although many surgeons still rely on intraoperative manual aortic palpation, this approach has very low sensitivity and underestimates the severity of the atherosclerotic illness. Imaging methods including preoperative computed tomography or intraoperative epiaortic ultrasonography enable modification of the surgical technique according to the severity of atherosclerosis. Various surgical techniques have been described to reduce the risk of atheroembolism that may lead to cerebrovascular events in patients with severely atherosclerotic ascending aorta. Anaortic or "no-touch" techniques that do not utilize aortic manipulation may significantly decrease the development of neurological complications by avoiding aortic maneuvers known to cause emboli. In cases where severe atherosclerotic disease or other factors preclude safe use of the ascending aorta, modifications in the surgical techniques, such as switching to different cannulation sites including the axillary/subclavian, femoral and innominate arteries, or using hypothermic ventricular fibrillation and in-situ pedicled arterial grafts, or performing proximal anastomoses at alternative anatomical locations will enable CABG operations to be performed safely with low morbidity and mortality rates in patients with porcelain aortas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine stroke rates in patients who did or did not undergo routine computed tomography angiography (CTA) aortic imaging before isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained single-centre registry. Between 2009 and 2016, a total of 2320 consecutive patients who underwent isolated CABG at our institution were identified. Propensity score matching was used to create a paired cohort of patients with similar baseline characteristics who did (CTA cohort) or did not (non-CTA cohort) undergo preoperative aortic CTA. The primary end point of the analysis was in-hospital stroke. RESULTS In 435 propensity score-matched pairs, stroke occurred in 4 patients (0.92%) in the CTA cohort and in 14 patients (3.22%) in the non-CTA cohort (P = 0.017). Routine preoperative aortic CTA was associated with a significantly reduced risk of in-hospital stroke [relative risk 0.29, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.09-0.86; P = 0.026; absolute risk reduction 2.3%, 95% CI 0.4-4.2; P = 0.017; number needed to treat = 44, 95% CI 24-242]. CONCLUSIONS A preoperative screening for atheromatous aortic disease using CTA is associated with reduced risk of stroke after CABG. The routine use of preoperative aortic CTA could be applied so that surgical manipulation of the ascending aorta can be selectively reduced or avoided in patients with atheromatous aortic disease.

Abstract
Objective Occurrence of a stroke within 30 days following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is an uncommon, but often devastating, complication. This study aimed to identify factors associated with long-term survival (beyond 30 days) in patients with stroke after CABG. Methods De-identified patients’ records from the Veterans Affairs Surgical Quality Improvement Program database were used to identify risk factors and perioperative complications associated with survival for up to 20 years in patients with post-CABG stroke. The multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used for analyzing survival. Results The median survival time for patients with stroke (n = 1422) was 6.7 years. The mortality rate for these patients was highest in the first year post-CABG and was significantly elevated compared with non-stroke patients. Survival rates at 1, 5, and 10 years for stroke versus non-stroke patients were 79% vs. 96%, 58% vs. 83%, and 36% vs. 63%, respectively. High preoperative serum creatinine levels, postoperative occurrence of renal failure, prolonged ventilation, coma, and reoperation for bleeding were important predictors of 1-year mortality of patients with post-CABG stroke. Conclusions Veterans with post-CABG stroke have a considerably higher risk for mortality during the first year compared with patients without stroke.

Abstract
The optimal time when surgery can be safely performed after stroke is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate how cardiac surgery timing after stroke impacts postoperative outcomes between 2011–2017 were reviewed. Variables were extracted from the institutional Society of Thoracic Surgeons database, statewide patient registry, and medical records. Subjects were classified based upon presence of endocarditis and further grouped by timing of preoperative stroke relative to cardiac surgery: Recent (stroke within two weeks before surgery), Intermediate (between two and six weeks before), and Remote (greater than six weeks before). Postoperative outcomes were compared amongst groups. 157 patients were included: 54 in endocarditis and 103 in non-endocarditis, with 47 in Recent, 26 in Intermediate, and 84 in Remote. 30-day mortality and postoperative stroke rate were similar across the three subgroups for both endocarditis and non-endocarditis. Of patients with postoperative stroke, mortality was 30% (95% CI 4.6–66). Timing of cardiac surgery after stroke occurrence does not seem to affect postoperative stroke or mortality. If postoperative stroke does occur, subsequent stroke-related mortality is high.

Abstract
Background There are limited contemporary data prevalence and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results Adult (>18 years) AMI admissions using the National Inpatient Sample database (2000–2017) were evaluated for in‐hospital AIS. Outcomes of interest included in‐hospital mortality, hospitalization costs, length of stay, discharge disposition, and use of tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. The discharge destination was used to classify survivors into good and poor outcomes. Of a total 11 622 528 AMI admissions, 183 896 (1.6%) had concomitant AIS. As compared with 2000, in 2017, AIS rates increased slightly among ST‐segment–elevation AMI (adjusted odds ratio, 1.10 [95% CI, 1.04–1.15]) and decreased in non–ST‐segment–elevation AMI (adjusted odds ratio, 0.47 [95% CI, 0.46–0.49]) admissions (P<0.001). Compared with those without, the AIS cohort was on average older, female, of non‐White race, with greater comorbidities, and higher rates of arrhythmias. The AMI‐AIS admissions received less frequent coronary angiography (46.9% versus 63.8%) and percutaneous coronary intervention (22.7% versus 41.8%) (P<0.001). The AIS cohort had higher in‐hospital mortality (16.4% versus 6.0%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.75 [95% CI, 1.72–1.78]; P<0.001), longer hospital length of stay, higher hospitalization costs, greater use of tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, and less frequent discharges to home (all P<0.001). Among AMI‐AIS survivors (N=153 318), 57.3% had a poor functional outcome at discharge with relatively stable temporal trends. Conclusions AIS is associated with significantly higher in‐hospital mortality and poor functional outcomes in AMI admissions.

Abstract
Increasingly, computed tomography is requested for preoperative planning prior to cardiac surgery. Common pathologies, such as aortic and mitral annular calcification, can influence the choice of surgical technique or approach. In this article, we present a case-based review of primary and reoperative sternotomies that focuses on the clinical relevance of the common pathologies and findings in pre-operative computed tomography images, with respect to surgical decision-making and management.

Abstract
Perioperative stroke is one of the most severe and feared complications of cardiac surgery. Based on the timing of onset and detection, perioperative stroke can be classified as intraoperative or postoperative. The pathogenesis of perioperative stroke is multifactorial, which makes prediction and prevention challenging. However, information on its incidence, mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment can be helpful in minimizing the perioperative neurological risk for individual patients. We herein provide suggestions on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative strategies aimed at reducing the risk of perioperative stroke and at improving the outcomes of patients who experience a perioperative stroke.

Abstract
Perioperative stroke is a devastating complication after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, with atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta as important risk factor. During surgical manipulation, detachment of plaques can lead to consecutive embolization into brain-supplying arteries. High-pitch computed tomography angiography (HP-CTA) represents a non-invasive imaging modality, which provides the opportunity for comprehensive imaging of the ascending aorta, including plaque detection and advanced characterization. In our present retrospective study on 719 individuals, who had undergone HP-CTA within 6 months prior to CABG, atherosclerotic disease of the ascending aorta was evaluated with respect to perioperative stroke rates. For image analysis, the ascending aorta was divided into a proximal and distal part, consisting of four segments, and evaluated for presence and distribution of calcified and mixed plaques. All patients with perioperative stroke presented with atherosclerotic disease of the ascending aorta. The stroke rate was significantly associated with the presence and extent of atherosclerotic disease. Patients burdened with mixed plaques presented with significantly higher perioperative stroke rates. This study demonstrates that HP-CTA allows accurate evaluation of plaque extent and composition in the ascending aorta, and therefore may improve risk stratification of stroke prior to CABG.

Abstract
Perioperative stroke is defined as an ischemic cerebrovascular event that occurs during or within 30 days after surgery and is associated with an increased perioperative risk of morbidity and mortality. Depending on the type of surgery stroke is diagnosed in up to 11% of all patients in the perioperative period. Patients with a history of ischemic stroke or transitory ischemic attack have an increased risk for perioperative stroke. Therefore, a critical assessment of indications and the timing of surgery are crucial to prevent recurring stroke in this patient population. Importantly, individualized blood pressure management is essential for optimization of cerebral perfusion during the perioperative period.This article provides a summary of the epidemiology, risk factors, and etiology of perioperative stroke. Moreover, possible preventive strategies relevant for the anesthesiologist are reviewed.

Abstract
Background Although it is traditionally regarded as a single entity, perioperative stroke comprises 2 separate phenomena (early/intraoperative and delayed/postoperative stroke). We aimed to systematically evaluate incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcome of early and delayed stroke after cardiac surgery. Methods and Results A systematic review ( MEDLINE , EMBASE , Cochrane Library) was performed to identify all articles reporting early (on awakening from anesthesia) and delayed (after normal awakening from anesthesia) stroke after cardiac surgery. End points were pooled event rates of stroke and operative mortality and incident rate of late mortality. Thirty-six articles were included (174 969 patients). The pooled event rate for early stroke was 0.98% (95% CI 0.79% to 1.23%) and was 0.93% for delayed stoke (95% CI 0.77% to 1.11%; P=0.68). The pooled event rate of operative mortality was 28.8% (95% CI 17.6% to 43.4%) for early and 17.9% (95% CI 14.0% to 22.7%) for delayed stroke, compared with 2.4% (95% CI 1.9% to 3.1%) for patients without stroke ( P<0.001 for early versus delayed, and for perioperative stroke, early stroke, and delayed stroke versus no stroke). At a mean follow-up of 8.25 years, the incident rate of late mortality was 11.7% (95% CI 7.5% to 18.3%) for early and 9.4% (95% CI 5.9% to 14.9%) for delayed stroke, compared with 3.4% (95% CI 2.4% to 4.8%) in patients with no stroke. Meta-regression demonstrated that off-pump was inversely associated with early stroke (β=-0.009, P=0.01), whereas previous stroke (β=0.02, P<0.001) was associated with delayed stroke. Conclusions Early and delayed stroke after cardiac surgery have different risk factors and impacts on operative mortality as well as on long-term survival.

Consequence of Ischemic Stroke after Coronary Surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass According to Stroke Subtypes. Braz J Cardiovasc Surg 2019; 33:462-468. [PMID: 30517254 PMCID: PMC6257531 DOI: 10.21470/1678-9741-2018-0086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2018] [Accepted: 05/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of patients developing
ischemic stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods From March 2012 to January 2017, 5380 consecutive patients undergoing
elective coronary surgery were analyzed. Ninety-five patients who developed
ischemic strokes after on-pump coronary surgery were included in the study,
retrospectively. The cohort was divided into four subgroups [total anterior
circulation infarction (TACI), partial anterior circulation infarction
(PACI), posterior circulation infarction (POCI), and lacunar infarction
(LACI)] according to the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP)
classification. The primary endpoints were in-hospital mortality, total
mortality, and survival analysis over an average of 30 months of follow-up.
The secondary endpoints were the extent of disability and dependency
according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Results The incidence of stroke was 1.76% (n=95). The median age was
62.03±10.06 years and 68 (71.6%) patients were male. The groups were
as follows: TACI (n=17, 17.9%), PACI (n=47, 49.5%), POCI (n=20, 21.1%), and
LACI (n=11, 11.6%). Twenty-eight (29.5%) patients died in hospital and 34
(35.8%) deaths occurred. The overall mortality rate of the TACI group was
significantly higher than that of the LACI group (64.7% vs.
27.3%, P=0.041). The mean mRS score of the TACI group was
significantly higher than that of the other groups
(P=0.003). Conclusion Patients in the TACI group had higher in-hospital and cumulative mortality
rates and higher mRS scores. We believe that use of the OCSP classification
and the mRS may render it possible to predict the outcomes of stroke after
coronary surgery.

A model-based cost-effectiveness analysis of Patient Blood Management. BLOOD TRANSFUSION = TRASFUSIONE DEL SANGUE 2018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient blood management (PBM) is a multidisciplinary concept focused on the management of anaemia, minimisation of iatrogenic blood loss and rational use of allogeneic blood products. The aims of this study were: (i) to analyse post-operative outcome in patients with liberal vs restrictive exposure to allogeneic blood products and (ii) to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of PBM in patients undergoing surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature review and meta-analysis were performed to compare post-operative complications in predominantly non-transfused patients (restrictive transfusion group) and patients who received one to three units of red blood cells (liberal transfusion group). Outcome measures included sepsis with/without pneumonia, acute renal failure, acute myocardial infarction and acute stroke. In a second step, a health economic model was developed to calculate cost-effectiveness of PBM (PBM-arm vs control-arm) for simulated cohorts of 10,000 cardiac and non-cardiac surgical patients based on the results of the meta-analysis and costs. RESULTS Out of 478 search results, 22 studies were analysed in the meta-analysis. The pooled relative risk of any complication in the restrictive transfusion group was 0.43 for non-cardiac and 0.34 for cardiac surgical patients. In the simulation model, PBM was related to reduced complications (1,768 vs 1,245) and complication-related deaths (411 vs 304) compared to standard care. PBM-related costs of therapy exceeded costs of the control arm by € 150 per patient. However, total costs, including hospitalisation, were higher in the control-arm for both non-cardiac (€ 2,885.11) and cardiac surgery patients (€ 1,760.69). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio including hospitalisation showed savings of € 30,458 (non-cardiac and cardiac surgery patients) for preventing one complication and € 128,023 (non-cardiac and cardiac surgery patients) for prevention of one complication-related death in the PBM-arm. DISCUSSION Our results indicate that PBM may be associated with fewer adverse clinical outcomes compared to control management and may, thereby, be cost-effective.

Abstract
Although perioperative stroke is uncommon during low-risk non-vascular surgery, if it occurs, it can negatively impact recovery from the surgery and functional outcome. Based on the Society for Neuroscience in Anesthesiology and Critical Care Consensus Statement, perioperative stroke includes intraoperative stroke, as well as postoperative stroke developing within 30 days after surgery. Factors related to perioperative stroke include age, sex, a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack, cardiac surgery (aortic surgery, mitral valve surgery, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery), and neurosurgery (external carotid-internal carotid bypass surgery, carotid endarterectomy, or aneurysm clipping). Concomitant carotid and cardiac surgery may further increase the risk of perioperative stroke. Preventive strategies should be individualized based on patient factors, including cerebrovascular reserve capacity and the time interval since the previous stroke.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to investigate the association of the coronary SYNTAX score with the degree of atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods A total of 152 patients (mean age 65 years, 66% male) were analyzed who underwent isolated CABG with both SYNTAX score and the intraoperative 5-point scale grading of the severity of atherosclerosis in the ascending aorta available. The patient were stratified into low, intermediate, and high SYNTAX score groups [≤22 (n=36), 22-33 (n=42), and ≥33 (n=76)]. Results The mean SYNTAX score was 31±11. Patient demographics and comorbidity were comparable in each group. The prevalence of severe atherosclerosis (Grade ≥III) in the ascending aorta was 17.5% (n=27) in the whole population and was different in each group with higher prevalence in higher score groups (8.3% vs. 9.5% vs. 26.3%, P=0.018). After adjusting for age, sex and other relevant comorbidity, SYNTAX score remained a predictor of severe atherosclerosis [adjusted OR 1.63, 95% CI: 1.01-2.62, P=0.046 (per 10 point increase); adjusted OR 5.20, 95% CI: 1.15-23.5, P=0.032 (high vs. low score)]. Conclusions SYNTAX score was associated with the severity of atherosclerosis in the ascending aorta. Patients with high scores have a 5 times higher chance of severe disease compared to patients with low scores and should warrant preoperative and intraoperative comprehensive assessment of the ascending aorta.

Abstract
Perioperative bleeding can be a serious life-threatening complication in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery, given the older age and additional comorbidities present in this patient population. The standard treatment options include transfusion of blood components and surgical re-exploration. We report the first case of an elderly female patient treated with local administration of recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) for intractable hemorrhagic pericardial effusion, which developed following a transcutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure for severe aortic stenosis. No thromboembolic phenomena or adverse effects were observed. Local administration of rFVIIa is an efficacious treatment option for cardiac surgery patients as opposed to systemic administration of rFVIIa, use of massive blood products, or surgical re-exploration.

Abstract
Perioperative stroke is a devastating neurological complication of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting surgery (CABG). It results in significantly increased rates of mortality and morbidity and presents a significant financial burden to our healthcare system. It has not, however, been studied in a large population based sample. We aim to investigate the role of perioperative stroke as an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality and morbidity following CABG, and to review trends in the early outcomes of CABG from the years 1999 to 2011. We hypothesize that perioperative stroke is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality and morbidity following CABG. We analyzed data from the 1999-2011 Nationwide Inpatient Sample, identifying patients who underwent CABG using ICD-9 and CCS codes. We excluded patients below the age of 18 and above the age of 100, and patients undergoing concomitant heart and/or vascular procedures. Analysis on our sample of 668,627 patients yielded an overall rate of perioperative stroke, mortality, and morbidity of 1.87%, 2.13%, and 49.07%, respectively. Along with age, risk category, gender, and other postoperative outcomes, perioperative stroke was found to be a strong predictor of mortality and morbidity, leading to more than a 5-fold risk of death and morbidity. From our study, we conclude that perioperative stroke remains a serious adverse outcome of CABG and is an independent predictor of mortality and morbidity. While rates of stroke and mortality are decreasing, morbidity continues to trend upwards. This study emphasizes the importance of prevention and early intervention in patients at risk for perioperative stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of different aortic clamping strategies on the incidence of cerebral embolic events during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS Between 2012 and 2015, 142 patients with low-grade aortic disease (epiaortic ultrasound grade I/II) undergoing primary isolated CABG were studied. Those undergoing off-pump CABG were randomized to a partial clamp (n = 36) or clampless facilitating device (CFD; n = 36) strategy. Those undergoing on-pump CABG were randomized to a single-clamp (n = 34) or double-clamp (n = 36) strategy. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) was performed to identify high-intensity transient signals (HITS) in the middle cerebral arteries during periods of aortic manipulation. Neurocognitive testing was performed at baseline and 30-days postoperatively. The primary endpoint was total number of HITS detected by TCD. Groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS In the off-pump group, the median number of total HITS were higher in the CFD subgroup (30.0; interquartile range [IQR], 22-43) compared with the partial clamp subgroup (7.0; IQR, 0-16; P < .0001). In the CFD subgroup, the median number of total HITS was significantly lower for patients with 1 CFD compared with patients with >1 CFD (12.5 [IQR, 4-19] vs 36.0 [IQR, 25-47]; P = .001). In the on-pump group, the median number of total HITS was 10.0 (IQR, 3-17) in the single-clamp group, compared with 16.0 (IQR, 4-49) in the double-clamp group (P = .10). There were no differences in neurocognitive outcomes across the groups. CONCLUSIONS For patients with low-grade aortic disease, the use of CFDs was associated with an increased rate of cerebral embolic events compared with partial clamping during off-pump CABG. A single-clamp strategy during on-pump CABG did not significantly reduce embolic events compared with a double-clamp strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Stroke is one of the largest socio medical problems of modern times. In addition to the third leading cause of death, it is the first cause of non-trauma disability. Numerous studies show a correlation of risk factors and arteriosclerotic lesions in the coronary arteries and carotid arteries. PATIENTS AND METHODS Study was conducted at the Clinical Center University of Sarajevo, Clinic for Cardiology surgery, methodologically cross-sectional study and partly manipulative and clinical prevention study, conducted on a representative sample of 100 patients. The subject was divided into 2 groups, coronary and non-coronary patients. Both groups of patients underwent color Doppler of carotid arteries, medical history and laboratory analysis. RESULTS The results confirm the hypothesis that the critical carotid artery stenosis is more present in patients with coronary disease, while the association of risk factors has been demonstrated for diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. CONCLUSION Screening of carotid arteries in patients scheduled for coronary revascularization is essential. With the presence of critical stenosis of the carotid artery, surgery of carotid artery should be done before coronary revascularization. The implementation of aggressive education and prevention of risk factors for cardiovascular disease is needed.

Abstract
Several proximal anastomosis devices have been developed to facilitate the creation of a clampless, hand-sewn coronary artery bypass-to-ascending aorta anastomosis. An Enclose II anastomosis assist device (Novare Surgical Systems, Cupertino, CA) is a device commonly used for this purpose. We demonstrate a new, easy, and safe technique for cutting the aortic wall and making a punch hole over the aorta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine in-hospital and post-discharge long-term survival in patients with prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays after cardiac surgery. DESIGN Retrospective, cohort study of cardiac surgery patients from May 2007 to June 2012. SETTING Single-center cardiac surgery ICU. PARTICIPANTS Patients were grouped according to length of ICU stay: between 1 and 2 weeks, between 2 and 4 weeks, and>4 weeks. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Of 4,963 patients, 3.3%, 1.6%, and 2.9% of patients stayed 1 to 2 weeks, 2 to 4 weeks, and>4 weeks in the ICU, respectively. In-hospital mortality was 11.1%, 26.6%, and 31.0% for patients with 1 to 2 weeks, 2 to 4 weeks, and>4 weeks ICU stay, respectively. Patients with ICU stays between 1 and 2 weeks had 6 months, 1 year, and 2 year survival rates of 84.4%, 80.0%, and 75.3% after discharge, respectively. Patients with ICU stay between 2 and 4 weeks had similar 6 months, 1 year, and 2 year survival rates of 84.7%, 79.9%, and 74.1%, respectively. In contrast, patients with>4 week ICU stays had significantly lower postdischarge survival rates of 63.3%, 56.4%, and 41.1% at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, respectively. Postoperative stroke conferred the greatest risk of death within 1 year after discharge (odds ratio 7.6, p = 0.0140). CONCLUSIONS In-hospital mortality rates post-cardiac surgery correlate with length of ICU stay but appear to plateau after 4 weeks. However, a>4 week ICU length of stay confers a worse long-term outcome post-hospital discharge, especially in patients with postoperative stroke.

Retrospective evaluation of the effect of carotid artery stenosis on cerebral oxygen saturation during off-pump coronary artery bypasses grafting in adult patients. BMC Anesthesiol 2015; 15:180.

Abstract
Background It is unknown whether cerebral oxygenation in patients with carotid artery stenosis (CAS) undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) differs from that in patients without CAS. Thus, the effect of the presence of CAS ≥ 50 % on cerebral oxygenation during off-pump CABG in adult patients was evaluated retrospectively. Methods Eleven patients with CAS ≥ 50 % and 14 patients without CAS ≥ 50 % were enrolled. Regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) was quantified using near-infrared spectroscopy. Mean arterial pressure, cardiac index, central venous pressure (CVP), and rSO2 at specific points were collected, and significant changes in each parameter were detected using repeated analysis of variance. Mean rSO2 and minimum rSO2 during anastomosis were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) for cerebral desaturation (a decrease in rSO2 ≥ 10 % from preoperative value). Results Two patients with CAS ≥ 50 % who received complete carotid artery stenting preoperatively were excluded from the analyses. In both patients with and without CAS, a decrease in rSO2 and cardiac index and an increase in CVP were observed during anastomosis. Mean (SD) maximum decrease in rSO2 from preoperative value was 9.2 (12.7) % on the left side and 8.1 (11.7) % on the right side in patients with CAS ≥ 50 %, and 13.5 (11.3) % on the left side and 16.1 (9.8) % on the right side in patients without CAS ≥ 50 % (p = 0.316). Neurological complications were not identified in both patients with and without CAS ≥ 50 %. In multiple logistic regression analysis, CAS ≥ 50 % was not associated with an increased risk of cerebral desaturation (OR 0.160, 95 % CI 0.036–0.707, p = 0.016), and rSO2 decreased with decreasing cardiac index < 2.0 l/min/m2 (OR 3.287, 95 % CI 2.218–5.076, p < 0.001). Conclusions CAS ≥ 50 % was not an independent risk factor of cerebral desaturation during off-pump CABG. Our results suggest that maintaining cardiac output can prevent a decrease in cerebral oxygenation in both patients with and without CAS ≥ 50 %.

Partially anaortic clampless off-pump coronary artery bypass prevents neurologic injury compared to on-pump coronary surgery: a propensity score-matched study on 286 patients. Heart Vessels 2015; 31:1412-7. [PMID: 26498755 PMCID: PMC5010601 DOI: 10.1007/s00380-015-0748-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2015] [Accepted: 09/09/2015] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Anaortic coronary artery bypass proved to prevent early neurologic injury compared to on-pump CABG. The Cardica PAS-Port(®) is a fully automated device that might be able to perform proximal aorto-venous anastomoses without an increased embolic risk. We evaluated early post-operative neurologic outcome in a matched population following clampless OPCAB (CCAB: either "all-arterial" or with automatically anastomosed venous grafts) or on-pump CABG. 366 consecutive patients were submitted to isolated coronary bypass by a single surgeon experienced in both off and on-pump procedures between January 2009 and December 2013. Of these patients, 223 underwent a clampless off-pump revascularization. After propensity score matching, 143 pairs were selected, who received either off-pump or on-pump surgery. In the off-pump group, CCAB was performed with an all-arterial approach (n = 33) or with automated proximal anastomosis of the venous graft(s) by means of the Cardica PAS-Port(®) connector (n = 110). Neurologic injury was defined as non-reversible (NRNI: lethal coma or stroke) or reversible (RNI: TIA or delirium). Operative mortality was 2.4 % (CCAB 1.4 %; CABG 3.5 %; p = 0.14). The global rate of early neurologic injury was 5.6 % (CCAB 2.1 vs. CABG 9.1 %; p = 0.006). Incidence was 1.4 % for NRNI (CCAB 0 vs. CABG 2.8 %; p = 0.04) and 4.2 % for RNI (CCAB 2.1 vs. CABG 6.3 %; p = 0.06). No differences were found among other major perioperative outcomes. CCAB prevents both early post-operative RNI and NRNI. This result can be achieved with a totally anaortic strategy and also with the aid of a fully automated device for proximal aorto-venous anastomoses.
