Analgesic Effect and Sleep Quality of Low-Dose Dexmedetomidine in Cardiac Surgical Patients After Ultrafast-Track Extubation: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Objective: To compare the analgesic and sleep quality effects of dexmedetomidine infusion versus placebo in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with ultra-fast track extubation.

Design: The randomized, double-blind clinical trial study.

Setting: At a single academic center hospital.

Cost-utility analysis of sutureless and rapid deployment versus conventional aortic valve replacement in patients with moderate to severe aortic stenosis in Thailand.

Background: Sutureless and rapid deployment aortic valve replacement (SUAVR) has become an alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement (CAVR) for aortic stenosis (AS) treatment due to its advantages in reducing surgery time and improving outcomes. This study aimed to assess the cost-utility of SUAVR vs. CAVR treatment for patients with moderate to severe AS in Thailand.

Successful introduction of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in Southeastern Asian countries: A single center's experience in Thailand.

Background: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting has not been standardized in Southeastern Asian countries because it is technically demanding. However, this method could be suitable for economically disadvantaged institutions because it saves cost on the heart-lung machine. We summarized our results to assess the validity of our early introduction of this method.

The Influence of Left Ventricular Dysfunction on The Early and Midterm Outcome in The Patients Undergoing Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Assessed by Propensity Matched Score Analysis.

Background: It still remains unclear the depth of influence of left ventricular dysfunction on the recovery of patients' physical conditions in the early and midterm period following off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).

Methods: From April 2011 to May 2018, 851 patients underwent OPCAB in our center. All were grouped into two groups: Those whose ejection fraction (EF) was under 35% were defined as the Low EF group (N = 158) and those who maintained EF over 35% were defined as the Faired EF group (N = 693).

Global Post-Market Clinical Follow-up of the Treovance Stent-Graft for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: One-Year Results From the RATIONALE Registry.

Purpose:: To evaluate the safety and performance of the Treovance stent-graft.

Methods:: The global, multicenter RATIONALE registry ( ClinicalTrials.gov; identifier NCT03449875) prospectively enrolled 202 patients (mean age 73.
