Preoperative D-dimer level predicts adverse events after coronary endarterectomy combined with coronary artery bypass grafting: a retrospective cohort study.

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, National Clinical Research Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beilishi Road No. 167, Xicheng District, Beijing, 100037, China.
Background: Little is known about the role of D-dimer (DD) on the prognosis of patients undergoing coronary endarterectomy (CE) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: A total of 371 patients undergoing CE with CABG between January 2018 and July 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. The primary endpoint was the perioperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).
Escalating Lipid Therapy After Achieving LDL-C <70 mg/dL With Moderate-Intensity Statins in High-Risk Patients.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background And Objectives: Guidelines recommend target levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and intensive lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) in high-risk patients. However, the value of escalating LLT when the LDL-C targets are achieved with moderate-intensity statins is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the benefits of LLT escalation in this population.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes in a propensity matched population receiving either minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) using left internal thoracic artery (LITA) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) or percutaneous coronary intervention using second generation everolismus-eluting stents (DES-PCI) in patients treated for isolated proximal LAD stenosis.
Methods: Between January 2012 and December 2017, 421 patients with a nonemergency status undergoing primary isolated proximal LAD revascularization were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into two groups: 111 patients receiving MIDCAB LITA to LAD and 310 patients receiving DES-PCI. Propensity score matching selected 111 pairs and both groups were comparable for all baseline characteristics and well balanced.

Research Institute for Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases, Kemerovo, Russia.
Objective: To compare biomarkers of neurovascular unit (NVU) - S100β, NSE, BDNF and indicators of the brain electrical activity in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depending on the use of different versions of multi-tasking cognitive training (CT).
Material And Methods: The study included 89 people, of whom 47 completed the CTI (postural and three cognitive tasks (counting backwards, verbal fluency and the open-ended task «Unusual use of an ordinary object») and 42 patients, who underwent CTII (visuomotor reaction and the same cognitive tasks) in the early postoperative CABG period. The patients of both groups underwent complex testing of psychomotor, executive functions, attention, short-term memory and EEG study in the perioperative period of CABG.
Changes in various forms of fibronectin in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting with cardiopulmonary bypass - a prospective, observational study.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with the transient activation of a systemic inflammatory response. Fibronectin (FN), an endogenous inflammatory mediator, is a key component of the extracellular matrix. This study aimed to detect changes in cellular and plasma FN levels, as well as its potential fragmentation or FN-fibrin complex formation, in 40 patients undergoing CABG with CPB.
