Common femoral artery endarterectomy by eversion versus prosthetic patch angioplasty: a propensity-matched study.

Background: Endarterectomy with prosthetic patch angioplasty is the preferred treatment for common femoral artery occlusive disease. Eversion endarterectomy was described as a promising alternative. the aim of this study was to compare the eversion endarterectomy and patch angioplasty outcomes for patients with de novo femoral bifurcation atherosclerotic lesions.

Perioperative adverse events in percutaneous versus open brachial access.

Objective: The objective of the present study was to compare the incidence of complications at the access site after percutaneous brachial access (PBA) and open brachial access (OBA) in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease.

Methods: From November 2016 to November 2021, all patients who had undergone peripheral artery revascularization with brachial access were included. The primary outcome was the 30-day rate of postoperative complications at the access site.

AORTLANTIC: French registry of aortic valve-sparing root replacement, preliminary multicentre results from western France.

Objectives: Aortic root aneurysms often affect younger patients in whom valve-sparing surgery is challenging. Among current techniques, aortic valve-sparing root replacement described by Tirone David has shown encouraging results. The AORTLANTIC registry was instituted for a multicentre long-term evaluation of this procedure.

Short acting intravenous beta-blocker as a first line of treatment for atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery: a prospective observational study.

Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) defined as a new-onset of atrial fibrillation (AF) following surgery occurs frequently after cardiac surgery. For non-symptomatic patients, rate control strategy seems to be as effective as rhythm control one in surgical patients. Landiolol is a new highly cardio-selective beta-blocker agent with interesting pharmacological properties that may have some interest in this clinical situation.
