Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in aortocoronary bypass surgery, potentially via extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their micro-RNA content. Clinical data implicate that propofol might inhibit the cardioprotective RIPC effect. This prospective, randomized study investigated the influence of different anesthetic regimes on RIPC efficacy and EV micro-RNA signatures.

Objectives: Minimally invasive coronary surgery (MICS) via lateral thoracotomy is a less invasive alternative to the traditional median full sternotomy approach for coronary surgery. This study investigates its effectiveness for short- and long-term revascularization in cases of single and multi-vessel diseases.
Methods: A thorough examination was performed on the databases of two cardiac surgery programs, focusing on patients who underwent minimally invasive coronary bypass grafting procedures between 2010 and 2023.

Background: Stent thrombosis is a potentially lethal complication of coronary angioplasty and responsible for 20% of all post-angioplasty myocardial infarctions. Unusual causes may be overlooked and difficult to identify.
Case Summary: A 70-year-old male with history of triple aortocoronary bypass presented with acute inferolateral ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Neutrophils can release neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) containing DNA fibres and antimicrobial peptides to immobilize invading pathogens. NET formation (NETosis) plays a vital role in inflammation and immune responses. In this study we investigated the impact of surgical trauma on NETosis of neutrophils.

Background: During fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements, distal coronary pressure (Pd) can be influenced by hydrostatic pressure changes resulting from the height difference (HD) between the coronary ostium and the location of the distal pressure sensor.
Aims: We investigated the effect of aortocoronary HD on the FFR measurements in each coronary artery.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 257 patients who underwent FFR measurements and coronary computed tomography (CCTA) within a year.
