Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), highlighting the need for better prediction methods, particularly using machine learning.
- Researchers evaluated several machine learning models, including random forest and logistic regression, to predict AKI after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), with random forest showing the best predictive performance (AUC 0.834).
- Key risk factors identified were ejection fraction, estimated glomerular filtration rate, age, albumin, uric acid, and lactate dehydrogenase, suggesting that machine learning can enhance AKI predictions and improve patient outcomes after surgery.
Article Synopsis
- The study compares the outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), focusing on mortality and adverse events.
- A total of 823 CAD patients with advanced CKD were analyzed, with 247 undergoing CABG and 576 receiving PCI, monitoring different health outcomes over a 5-year period.
- Results showed similar 30-day mortality rates and major adverse events between CABG and PCI, but CABG presented a lower risk of needing repeat revascularization after 5 years.
Objectives: To compare the long-term outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) vs. percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DESs) for coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: Coronary artery disease patients with decreased kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml/min/1.
Background: In the mid-1990s, the Swedish expert team proposed saphenous vein graft (SVG) harvesting with pedicle tissue. The short-term and long-term patency rates of the great saphenous vein obtained by the no-touch (NT) were higher than those obtained by the conventional (CON). In the past, NT harvesting was mainly used in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and vein grafts were mostly single vein grafts.

Methods: A total of 1138 patients undergoing CABG were collected from September 2018 to May 2020 and divided into a derivation and validation cohort.
Background And Aim Of The Study: Many studies support that the no-touch (NT) procedure can improve the patency rate of vein grafts. However, it is not clear that the sequential vein graft early expansion in the NT technique during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study will explore this issue.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from 474 patients with DM who were discharged from hospital following PCI at a regional center between 2012 and 2015.
Results: A total of 192 patients (40.
Objective: This study was designed to explore the protective effect of 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-d-glucoside (TSG) against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis.
Methods: The H9c2 cell I/R injury model was induced by simultaneous shortage of nutrients and oxygen. TSG administration (0.
Background: Despite its limitations, unfractionated heparin (UFH) has been the standard anticoagulant used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study compared the safety of low-dose UFH with sequential enoxaparin with that of UFH in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and complex coronary artery disease receiving elective PCI.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 514 consecutive patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and type 2 DM were admitted to the hospital and received selective PCI, from January 2013 to December 2015.
