Lower extremity arteriovenous (AV) access serves as a crucial alternative for hemodialysis when upper extremity options are no longer viable. While there are numerous reports on functional patency, limited information exists regarding complications related to venous insufficiency and postoperative quality of life. This study aims to assess the actual incidence of such complications and provide evidence-based insights for clinical decision-making.

Background: Multiple factors, such as muscle fatty infiltration (FI), tendon collagen content, and collagen arrangement, determine bone-tendon interface (BTI) healing after rotator cuff (RC) repair.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of systemic administration of ezetimibe-atorvastatin (EZE/ATZ) combination on muscle FI and tendon collagen density and arrangement in an RC repair rat model.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of long-term statin therapy following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with acute type B aortic dissection (ATBAD).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 645 patients treated between January 2005 and June 2022, dividing them into Statin Group (n=330) and Non-statin Group (n=315) based on whether they received long-term postoperative statin therapy. Patients were further categorized based on median admission low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels into High and Low LDL-C Groups to assess the effect of statins on the prognosis of ATBAD patients after TEVAR.

Purpose Of Review: There is mounting and convincing evidence that patients with postoperative troponin elevation, with or without any clinical symptoms, are at higher risk for both, short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. Myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) is a relatively newly described syndrome, and the pathogenesis is not fully understood yet. MINS is now an established syndrome and multiple guidelines address potential etiologies, triggers, as well as preventive and management strategies.

Objectives: Atrial fibrillation is common complication after heart surgery potentially leading to chronic atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between preoperative interatrial block and the occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation.
Methods: Perioperative 12-channel ECGs of patients in sinus rhythm, scheduled for heart surgery including bypass and/or valve surgery were analysed.
