BACKGROUND: Evidence surrounding P2Y12 platelet reactivity units (PRU) impact on bleeding outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass is varied. This study sought to assess whether on-pump CABG procedures result in increased bleeding in patients with high compared to low PRUs. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study compared those with a PRU level ≤237 (low PRU group) to >237 (high PRU group). The primary outcome assessed massive or severe bleeding in accordance with universal definition of perioperative bleeding criteria...

Asymptomatic carotid stenosis has been shown to be associated with progressive neurocognitive decline, but the effects of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) on this are not well defined. Due to the wide heterogeneity of studies and lack of standardization in cognitive function tests and study design, there is mounting scientific evidence to support the notion that CEA is effective in reversing or slowing neurocognitive decline; however, definitive conclusions are difficult to make. Further, while the association between ACS and cognitive decline has been well document, a direct etiological role has not been established...

Atherectomy as an endovascular modality to treat peripheral arterial disease has gained traction over the past 10 years. Unlike most other available technologies, atherectomy works by physically debulking atherosclerotic plaque via a variety of mechanisms being the femoropopliteal segment the most targeted one. The aims of this review were to detail the types of atherectomy available, existing evidence available for atherectomy use in the femoropopliteal segment as compared to other interventions, critical appraisal of its current use and the possible influences on its indication...

Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is an emergency situation requiring rapid diagnosis and treatment. Although the traditional treating strategy for ALI includes open surgery, novel endovascular techniques have been introduced during the last decade. Additionally, many new cases of ALI have been reported due to infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The aim of this study was to present an updated overview of characteristics, diagnosis, and current treating strategies of patients with ALI.

BACKGROUND: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon but life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction. Extra corporeal life support (ECLS) use in the preoperative setting allows hemodynamic stabilization for a delayed surgery. We aimed to assess the role of ECLS in the preoperative period of post infarction VSR surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients operated for VSR between January 2007 and August 2019. We assessed baseline characteristics, pre and post-operative clinical status and the use of ECLS in the peri-operative period...

The type of closure after carotid endarterectomy (CEA), whether with patching primary closure or eversion resulting optimal results, remains somewhat controversial. We conducted a PubMed literature review search comparing CEA with patching versus CEA with primary closure versus eversion CEA over the past four decades with emphasis on randomized controlled trials and systematic/meta-analysis and large single center or multicenter studies. The data showed that routine carotid patching can be recommended over primary closure (level 1 evidence); however, CEA with primary closure can be used for large internal carotid arteries (ICAs)>6 mm...

Calcification represent one the most important predictors of treatment failure of endovascular therapy for peripheral arterial disease, since it restricts wall expansion and acts as a barrier for drug uptake. It also increases complications after PTA like dissection, perforation, and embolization with poor outcomes. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel approach for the treatment of vascular calcifications with the goal to optimize outcome in patients with PAD and heavy calcifications. This review gives an overview of the currently published articles regarding the use of IVL within the vascular field...

Endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial disease has emerged as a minimally-invasive alternative to surgical intervention and has often become the first-line therapy. The patency of these interventions has shown promise but has remained variable depending upon the location, length of lesion and device used for a particular treatment. Specifically, one of the most common locations that is treated with endovascular means for chronic-limb threatening ischemia is the femoropopliteal region. This area of the arterial tree is highly exposed to movements such as flexion, extension, and rotational torque; as such, placing metallic stents can result in kinking and damage to the stent, and subsequently the artery, over time...

Open surgical repair remains the gold standard for treatment for aortic arch diseases, but these operations can be associated with wide heterogeneity in outcomes and significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in elderly patients with severe comorbidities or those who had prior arch procedures via median sternotomy. Endovascular repair has been introduced as a less invasive alternative to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with open surgical repair. The technique evolved with new device designs using up to three inner branches for incorporation of the supra-aortic trunks...

BACKGROUND: Total artificial heart (TAH) implantation is a rarely performed procedure. Contrarily, left ventricular assist device (VAD) implantation is rather common in many centers. As transplantation is quantitatively limited cardiac replacement with artificial hearts is a viable alternative in the treatment of severe biventricular heart failure. An alternative to TAH is the implantation of two VADs in a TAH configuration. We hereby present the first multi-center study on 3-months outcomes of patients treated by cardiectomy and placement of two HeartMate 3s in a TAH configuration...

Aortic arch pathologies are commonly treated by open surgery which is still the gold standard. Patients that are unfit for surgery can be effectively treated mini-invasively with novel endovascular endograft specifically designed for the arch. Endovascular technology has remarkably improved in recent years and is a valid alternative option for the treatment of aortic arch. Available endografts on the market include fenestrated and branched (single, double, or triple). Most endograft designed for the aortic arch are custom-made and production time could be limiting...
