We report a case of a 72-year-old man undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy, who had a history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery using the right gastroepiploic artery. We intraoperatively used the graft clamping test, which was assessed via electrocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography, to verify patency of the right gastroepiploic artery graft. Because the graft clamping test was positive, first, we interposed the saphenous vein graft between the splenic artery and right coronary artery. The abdominal surgery was then successfully performed without any cardiac complications. In such a complicated case, anesthesiologists who are responsible for assessment of the graft clamping test play a crucial role in determining the optimal surgical procedure.

Coronary vasospasm involves constriction of the coronary arteries and has been described after manipulation of the coronary arteries (ie, after stenting or bypass grafting). This report details the case of a 57-year-old man who presented with an endoleak after thoracic endovascular aortic repair. He underwent a frozen elephant trunk procedure and postoperatively had diffuse coronary vasospasm, demonstrated on pre- and post-vasospasm cardiac catheterization.

Background: Direct mechanical ventricular actuation (DMVA) with the Anstadt cup is effective for non-blood-contacting biventricular support. Pneumatic regulation of a silicone device augments ventricular pump function. Vacuum attachment facilitates diastolic augmentation critical for biventricular support.

Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Northwell Health, Manhasset, New York.
Background: Lidocaine in del Nido cardioplegia solution prolongs the refractory period of cardiomyocytes, yielding a longer arrest per dose. Serum lidocaine concentrations >8 mg/L are associated with seizure and cardiotoxicity. We evaluated serum lidocaine concentrations in patients receiving del Nido solution during cardiac surgery.

Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.
Objective: To develop a model for preoperatively predicting postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS) in patients with poor left ventricular (LV) function undergoing cardiac surgery.
Methods: From the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Database, 11,493 patients with LV ejection fraction ≤35% underwent isolated on-pump surgery from 2018 through 2019, of whom 3428 experienced PCCS. In total, 68 preoperative clinical variables were considered in machine-learning algorithms trained and optimized using scikit-learn software.
Binding of to dystrophin impairs the membrane trafficking of Nav1.5 protein and increases ventricular arrhythmia susceptibility.

Dystrophin is a critical interacting protein of Nav1.5 that determines its membrane anchoring in cardiomyocytes. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the regulation of cardiac ion channels, while their influence on sodium channels remains unexplored.
