A 10-Year Trend Analysis of Heart Failure in the Less Developed Brazil.

Background: Data on heart failure (HF) epidemiology in less developed areas of Brazil are scarce.

Objective: Our aim was to determine the HF morbidity and mortality in Paraiba and Brazil and its 10-year trends.

Methods: A retrospective search was conducted from 2008 to 2017 using the DATASUS database and included patients ≥ 15 years old with a primary diagnosis of HF.

Paraplegia after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.

We report the case of a young patient who developed paraplegia after CABG without CPB. It is important to point out that this patient's aorta was not manipulated in any way because the only graft performed was a left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery.
