Comparison of long-term outcomes of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting and percutaneous coronary intervention for left main disease.

Background: Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG) is frequently used for coronary revascularization, but the comparison of long-term clinical results with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in left main disease (LMDs) remains unclear. The present study sought to determine the long-term outcomes of MICS-CABG and PCI in patients with LMDs.

Methods: A total of 551 consecutive patients [man: 457 (82.

The impact of bifurcation angle on clinical outcomes in patients who underwent nano-crush technique: the insight from the multicenter EVOLUTE-CRUSH V study.

Background: This multicenter study aimed to retrospectively assess the relationship between bifurcation angle (BA) and major cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients undergoing nano-crush technique (NCT) for complex bifurcation lesions (CBLs).

Methods: A total of 122 consecutive patients [male: 85 (69.6%), mean age: 61.

Mini-crush or Nano-crush Stenting Technique for Complex Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: The Multicenter MINANO Registry.

Background: This multicenter study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the mid-term clinical outcomes of mini-crush (MCT) and nano-crush (NCT) techniques in patients with complex bifurcation lesions (CBLs).

Methods: The study comprised 431 patients [male: 318 (73.8%), mean age: 60.

Defining 2 Biologically and Clinically Distinct Groups in Acute Leukemia with a Mixed Phenotype.

A mixed phenotype is characteristic of de novo Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) but can also be seen in other leukemias. It poses substantial classification and management dilemmas. Herein, we report a large cohort of acute leukemia with a mixed phenotype and define Acute Myeloid Leukemia with Mixed Phenotype (AML-MP) and MPAL as two distinct groups by characterizing the clinical, genetic, and transcriptomic features.

The Relationship Between Medical Error Attitudes of Surgical Nurses and Evidence-Based Work Environment.

Background: It is important for health care professionals to use evidence-based practice during  surgical procedures to ensure patient safety and prevent medical errors.

Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between surgical nurses' perceptions of their work environment's support for evidence-based practice and their attitudes toward medical errors.

Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between February and May 2023.
