Background Operative technique for surgical myocardial revascularization in high‐risk patients remains an argument of debate. On‐pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with cardioplegic arrest and off‐pump CABG have intrinsic limitations. The hybrid approach of on‐pump beating‐heart CABG (OPBHC) has been proposed over the years with...

Many papers evaluated predictive factors for prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay after cardiac surgery, but efforts in translating those models in practical clinical tools is lacking. The aim of this study was to build a new nomogram score and test its calibration and discrimination power for predicting a long length of stay in the ICU...

The possible association of off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with reduced risk of postoperative stroke and enhanced benefits in high-risk patients support the hypothesis that patients with a positive history of cerebrovascular disease would benefit from off-pump coronary surgery. This study aims to investigate the impact of off-pump...

Moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation is present in 20-35% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and the current literature lacks simple echocardiographic parameters, which can predict post-TAVR changes in mitral regurgitation. The aim of this study is to investigate the echocardiographic predictors of...

Background: Previous meta-analyses combining randomized and observational evidence in cardiac surgery have shown positive impact of enhanced recovery protocols after surgery (ERAS) on postoperative outcomes. However, definitive data based on randomized studies are missing, and the entirety of the ERAS measures and pathway, as recently...

Cardiac surgery is associated with perioperative bleeding and carries high risk of allogeneic blood transfusion. Recently new scores for prediction of severe bleeding have been developed. This study aims to compare the WILL-BLEED, CRUSADE, PAPWORTH, TRUST, TRACK and ACTION scores in predicting major bleeding after CABG in patients with low...
