Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of on-pump vs off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Peru, focusing on survival and short- to mid-term outcomes.
- Using a propensity score-matched analysis of 2280 patients, key comparisons were made between the two techniques regarding major adverse events and overall health outcomes post-surgery.
- Results revealed that off-pump CABG was associated with lower short- and long-term mortality rates and fewer complications compared to on-pump CABG, suggesting it may be a safer option for patients.
Outcomes and Survival for Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Following Wedge Resection or Lobectomy: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis Using a Novel Peruvian Registry.

November 2024
Background: Using a previously unreported Peruvian registry of patients treated for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), this study explored whether wedge resection and lobectomy were equivalent regarding survival and impact on radiologic-pathologic variables.
Methods: This observational, analytical, longitudinal study used propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis of a single-center retrospective registry of 2,570 patients with pathologic stage I-II NSCLC who were treated with wedge resection (n=1,845) or lobectomy (n=725) during 2000-2020. After PSM, 650 cases were analyzed (resection, n=325; lobectomy, n=325) through preoperative and clinical variables, including patients with ≥1 lymph node removed.
Objectives: Renal Artery Aneurysms (RAA) affect approximately 0.01%-0.97% of the population.

- EVAR (Endovascular Aortic Repair) is shown to have better short-term outcomes than traditional Open repair for treating unruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms in a Peruvian cohort, with lower mortality rates and shorter hospital stays.
- In the study of 251 patients, the majority had UIAAA diameters over 65 mm, with key risk factors including diabetes and prior abdominal surgery.
- Long-term results indicated that while Open repair had lower mortality rates, EVAR patients experienced higher rates of aneurysmal rupture and reinterventions, highlighting complexities in choosing the appropriate treatment method.
