Background: The outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depends on several factors, including the quality of the distal anastomoses to the coronary arteries. Early graft failure may be caused by, e.g.

Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a serious complication of myocardial infarction (MI) that can lead to a fetal systemic embolism. Although coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) after MI is widely performed, to our knowledge, there are no reports of LV thrombus in the early postoperative period. Here, we report a rare case of a 70-year-old man who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for unstable angina pectoris with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

The long-term cost-effectiveness of empagliflozin for the treatment of heart failure (HF) in the Philippines remains unclear. This study aims to determine the economic benefit of adding empagliflozin to the standard of care (SoC) vs the SoC alone for HF in the Philippines.

Background: Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices have become a standard treatment option in cardiogenic shock but are associated with high complication rates. This study analyzes common complications associated with modern tMCS devices and their impact on mortality depending on the tMCS approach.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of patients with all-cause cardiogenic shock treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal life support, microaxial flow pump, and a combination of both (ECMELLA).

Background: The impact of seasonal patterns on the mortality and morbidity of surgical patients with cardiovascular diseases has gained increasing attention in recent years. However, whether this seasonal variation extends to cardiovascular surgery outcomes remains unknown. This study sought to evaluate the effects of seasonal variation on the short-term outcomes of patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).
