Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how a special chest scan before heart surgery helps reduce the chance of stroke in patients with a certain condition.
- It compared two groups of heart surgery patients—one group had the chest scan and the other did not, and the group with the scan had fewer strokes after surgery.
- The researchers concluded that using this type of scan is a good idea for patients at risk because it can change how doctors perform the surgery and keep patients safer.
We evaluated the feasibility of hybrid percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and minimally invasive mitral valve surgery (MIMVS) in patients with concomitant coronary and mitral disease. Of 534 patients who underwent MIMVS at our institution between 2012 and 2018, those with combined mitral and single vessel coronary pathologies who underwent MIMVS and PCI were included. Patients were excluded if they had endocarditis or required emergency procedures.

Re-sternotomy for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with a patent internal mammary artery (IMA) graft may present a challenging surgical problem. Thus, strategies to prevent IMA graft injury include avoiding its dissection and leaving the graft open. However, when aortic cross clamping and cardioplegia are required, this approach may be associated with cardioplegia washout, suboptimal myocardial protection, and anterior myocardial wall injury.
