Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of different energy sources used in the Cox-maze IV surgical procedure for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), specifically comparing bipolar radio-frequency (BRF), cryoenergy (Cryo), and a combination of both.
- Results indicate that patients who underwent cryoablation had significantly lower rates of AF recurrence after both 6 months (6.73% for Cryo) and 4 years (6.14% for Cryo) compared to those treated with BRF and the combined method.
- The findings suggest that cryoablation may lead to better long-term sinus rhythm restoration in patients undergoing AF ablation compared to bipolar radiofrequency ablation alone.
Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia following cardiac operations. It has been associated with an increased risk of postoperative cerebrovascular complications, morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the type of venous cannulation to institute the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during major cardiac surgery procedures can influence the rate of POAF and late FA onset.

- This study compared the outcomes of two aortic valve replacement methods—sutureless aortic valve replacement (SUAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)—in patients with small aortic annulus (SAA).
- A total of 622 patients were analyzed, and after matching for key characteristics, 146 patients from each group were evaluated for all-cause death at 36 months and other complications.
- Results indicated that the TAVI group had a higher rate of all-cause death (21% vs. 12.2%) and more major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (32.6% vs. 18.1%), while both methods showed similar hemodynamic performances.
Objectives: Blood level of pancreatic stone protein (PSP) is a promising biomarker of sepsis both in adults and children. The aim of our study was to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of PSP in children with suspected sepsis and to compare diagnostic performance with other sepsis biomarkers approved for clinical use, that is, procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP).
Design: Prospective study.
EuroSCORE II (ES2) is a reliable tool for preoperative cardiac surgery mortality risk prediction; however, a patient's age, a surgical procedure's weight and the new devices available may cause its accuracy to drift. We sought to investigate ES2 performance related to the surgical risk and late mortality estimation in patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) with sutureless valves. : Between 2012 and 2021, a total of 1126 patients with isolated aortic stenosis who underwent surgical AVR by means of sutureless valves were retrospectively collected from six European centers.
