AI Article Synopsis
- The coexistence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and non-cardiac surgery (NCS) presents two main challenges for doctors: post-operative patients who develop ACS and those with ACS needing NCS.
- Treating these patients involves finding the right balance between optimizing antithrombotic therapies for ACS and reducing the risk of bleeding during or after surgery.
- The review discusses management strategies to effectively navigate the risks of ischemia and bleeding in patients facing both ACS and NCS.
Article Abstract
The coexistence of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and non-cardiac surgery (NCS) in an individual patient can be summarized in two challenging clinical scenarios for the treating physician: 1) Post-operative patients who develop ACS and 2) Patients with ACS who subsequently require NCS. Both settings are characterized by a struggle on the part of treating physicians attempting to optimize antithrombotic therapies for ACS while minimizing post-surgical bleeding risk. In this review we address specific clinical issues related to patients with coexistent NCS and ACS, discussing possible management strategies balancing ischemic and bleeding risk in these complex patient scenarios.

The objectives of this minireview are two-fold. The first is to discuss the evolution of opioid analgesia in perioperative medicine in the context of thoracic non-cardiac surgery. Current standard-of-care, aiming to optimize analgesia and limit undesirable side effects, is discussed in the context of multimodal analgesia, specifically enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery pathways.

Introduction: For patients with breast cancer receiving preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy with anthracyclines, there is an increased risk of postoperative myocardial injury due to the cardiotoxicity of the chemotherapeutic agents. The optimal intraoperative blood pressure regulation regimen for these patients is unclear. This study is being conducted to determine whether targeting mean arterial pressure (MAP) to 100%-120% of the patient's baseline blood pressure reduces the incidence of myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) compared with targeting MAP to 80%-100%.

Cervical synovial cysts are rare, especially hemorrhagic cervical synovial cysts. The patient was a 58-year-old male with a five-month history of tingling in his right shoulder region, radicular pain in his right arm, and increased pain on the right chest wall that worsened with lying supine down. The patient was diagnosed with a right-sided hemorrhagic synovial cyst at the C7-T1 level.

Introduction: Acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) is a perioperative blood management technique involving the removal of whole blood and simultaneous infusion of colloids or crystalloids to achieve haemodilution while maintaining normovolaemia. However, its efficacy in reducing the requirement for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion remains controversial due to inconsistent findings in the literature. An individualised red cell transfusion strategy, guided by the West China Liu's Score, has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the need for allogeneic red cell transfusion.

Background: The long-term effects of early left ventricular unloading after venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remain unclear.
Methods: The EARLY-UNLOAD trial was a single-center, investigator-initiated, open-label, randomized clinical trial involving 116 patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) undergoing VA-ECMO. The patients were randomly assigned to undergo either early routine left ventricular unloading by transseptal left atrial cannulation within 12 hours after randomization or the conventional approach, which permitted rescue transseptal cannulation in case of an increased left ventricular afterload.
