Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how a heart procedure called TEER affects patients with different types of heart failure (HF) who also have a condition called mitral regurgitation (MR).
- Over 162 patients were analyzed, and they found that people with mixed HF had worse health outcomes after the procedure compared to those with just systolic or diastolic HF.
- The total hospital costs were similar for all groups, meaning no one type of heart failure cost significantly more than the others during their hospital stay.
To develop risk scoring models predicting long-term survival and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs), including myocardial infarction and stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). All 4,821 consecutive patients who underwent isolated CABG at Lankenau between January 2005 and July 2021 were included. MACCE was defined as all-cause mortality + myocardial infarction + stroke.

Methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched until August 25, 2023, to conduct a meta-analysis. Primary endpoints of the study were operative mortality and postoperative stroke.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes the midterm clinical outcomes of robotic-assisted reverse hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) in 285 patients over a period from 2005 to 2021.
- The procedure involved stent implantation prior to robotic-assisted harvesting of the left internal thoracic artery, followed by anastomosis without any conversions to full sternotomy.
- Results showed a low incidence of complications post-surgery, with midterm follow-up indicating a 10.9% all-cause mortality rate and 35.9% experiencing major cardiovascular events, suggesting that reverse HCR is safe and effective for multivessel coronary artery disease.
Background: Patients who are not candidates for traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and amenable only for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stents can receive the "gold standard" left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to left anterior descending artery (LAD) anastomosis through robotic-assisted CABG and PCI to non-LAD coronary targets.
Aims: We aimed to analyse clinical outcomes of robotic-assisted CABG.
Methods: A total of 2,280 consecutive patients who had undergone robotic-assisted CABG between May 2005 and June 2021 were included in our study.
