Intracoronary shunts (IS) are devices for maintaining distal coronary blood flow when placing anastomoses with coronary arteries. The use of IS ensures functional and electrical stability of myocardium during its revascularization on the working heart. There are reports of endothelial damage by IS leading to dysfunction of coronary shunts. This study compares 208 patients with and without IS. Results of surgery were evaluated during hospitalization period. The groups were matched for initial clinical and instrumental characteristics and the number of shunt placements. It was shown that minimally invasive myocardial revascularization with the use of IS when placing distal anastomoses has a number of advantages over similar surgery without IS, viz. smaller degree of intraoperative myocardial lesion, blood loss, and frequency of postoperative complications along with enhanced stability of intraoperative hemodynamics.

Central and Peripheral Circulation Differ during Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.
Rev Cardiovasc Med

Background: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) is an alternative to on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). During OPCAB, the temporary use of an intracoronary shunt and inotropic medication or catecholamines should keep the central hemodynamics constant. Nevertheless, the need for conversion to on-pump CABG often occurs unexpectedly, most likely due to circulation instability.

BACKGROUND A paradoxical air embolism (PAE) occurs when air entering the central venous circulation reaches the systemic circulation, occurring through an intracardiac shunt or intrapulmonary shunting. Patients presenting for liver transplantation often have intrapulmonary shunting due to pulmonary arterial vasodilation, even in the absence of hepatopulmonary syndrome. Here, we present a case of hemodynamic collapse believed to be caused by a PAE, which was diagnosed intraoperatively with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Background: Coronary air embolism (CAE) is a rare and life-threatening complication of endovascular procedures, mostly due to procedure-related causes.
Case Summary: A 70-year-old man with severe respiratory disorder presented with patent foramen ovale (PFO)-related platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS). Transcatheter PFO closure was performed under local anaesthesia and intracardiac echocardiographic guidance.

Objectives: We aimed to compare bare-metal stents (BMS), durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents (DP-EES), and abluminal biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stents (ABP-SES) in the bifurcation model setup.
Background: The mechanism of thrombogenicity, which differs among second-generation stents implanted using double-kissing (DK) crush or culotte stenting techniques, remains unclear. We have shown previously that setting up a porcine arteriovenous shunt model is feasible and useful to assess thrombogenicity at vessel bifurcation points.

Historically, the Blalock Taussig (BT) shunt has been an off-pump procedure. For the last two decades, the number of BT shunt operations has come down globally with the adoption of neonatal early corrective surgery. BT shunts are still performed for augmentation of pulmonary arterial (PA) growth or as a part of univentricular palliation.
