Electrocoagulation-free strategy in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass with hybrid revascularisation - a case report.

J Cardiothorac Surg

January 2025

Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité (DHZC), Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353, Berlin, Germany.

Background: Hybrid coronary revascularisation benefits patients with multivessel disease, as it amalgamates the minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We present a 63-year-old female with triple-vessel coronary artery disease including marked ostial stenosis of the left main coronary artery, as well as moderate stenosis of the right coronary artery. The risk of death following heart surgery (EuroSCORE II) is 4.

Iatrogenic diversion of inferior vena cava to the left atrium presented as persistent hypoxemia: Case series.

Medicine (Baltimore)

January 2025

Department of Center for Pulmonary Vascular Disease, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Rationale: The transcatheter closure and atrioseptopexy are the main treatment methods for atrial septal defect (ASD). However, persistent hypoxemia due to iatrogenic diversion of inferior vena cava (IVC) to the left atrium (LA) is reported as a rare complication after ASD closure. Contrast echocardiology is a reliable and powerful tool to detect iatrogenic diversion and identify the etiology accurately.

Long-term data are limited comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with second-generation drug-eluting stents (S-DES) vs coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with complex coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing these interventions in patients with left main or multivessel CAD. We systematically reviewed PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane for studies that compared PCI with S-DES and CABG in patients with left main or multivessel CAD with a minimum mean follow-up period of 3 years.
