Early healing after treatment of coronary lesions by thin strut everolimus, or thicker strut biolimus eluting bioabsorbable polymer stents: The SORT-OUT VIII OCT study.

Aims: Early healing after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation may reduce the risk of stent thrombosis. The aim of this study was to compare patterns of early healing after implantation of the thin strut everolimus-eluting Synergy DES (Boston Scientific) or the biolimus-eluting Biomatix Neoflex DES (Biosensors).

Methods And Results: A total of 160 patients with the chronic or acute coronary syndrome were randomized 1:1 to Synergy or Biomatrix DES.

Ventilation Strategies During General Anesthesia for Noncardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The optimal ventilation strategy during general anesthesia is unclear. This systematic review investigated the relationship between ventilation targets or strategies (eg, positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP], tidal volume, and recruitment maneuvers) and postoperative outcomes.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched on March 8, 2021, for randomized trials investigating the effect of different respiratory targets or strategies on adults undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Fraction of inspired oxygen during general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Controversy exists regarding the effects of a high versus a low intraoperative fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO ) in adults undergoing general anesthesia. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effect of a high versus a low FiO on postoperative outcomes.

Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched on March 22, 2022 for randomized clinical trials investigating the effect of different FiO levels in adults undergoing general anesthesia for non-cardiac surgery.

Goal-directed haemodynamic therapy during general anaesthesia for noncardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: During general anaesthesia for noncardiac surgery, there remain knowledge gaps regarding the effect of goal-directed haemodynamic therapy on patient-centred outcomes.

Methods: Included clinical trials investigated goal-directed haemodynamic therapy during general anaesthesia in adults undergoing noncardiac surgery and reported at least one patient-centred postoperative outcome. PubMed and Embase were searched for relevant articles on March 8, 2021.

Randomized comparison of sirolimus eluting, and biolimus eluting bioresorbable polymer stents: the SORT-OUT VII optical coherence tomography study.

Aims: To show non-inferiority of the 67- or 87 µm thick, sirolimus-eluting Orsiro drug eluting stent (DES) to the 122 µm thick, biolimus-eluting Nobori DES regarding size of vessel lumen outside the stent at 13-month follow-up.

Methods And Results: This study was a substudy to the SORT-OUT VII trial, a prospective, 1:1-randomized, comparison of the two stents in patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome. Optical coherence tomography was acquired after percutaneous coronary intervention and at 13-month follow-up.
