Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the completeness of revascularization affects the outcomes in the octogenarian.
Material Of Study: We retrospectively reviewed 130 consecutive octogenarians who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) between January 2003 and September 2010. According to operative technique, patients were categorized in Complete Revascularization (CRV) Group (96 patients) and in Incomplete Revascularization (IRV) Group (34 patients). Follow-up was 98% complete (mean: 30 ± 25 months).
Results: The overall in-hospital mortality was 13% and was similar in both groups (p=0.0553). Multivariate regression analysis identified preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 40% (p= 0.0060; OR= 0.19) and NHYA class > II (p= 0.0042; OR= 0.17) as risk factor for in-hospital death. Cox regression analysis not identified incomplete revascularization as risk factor for early or late death (p= 0.1381 and p= 0.8865). No differences in 5-year survival and freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) was found between two groups (p=0.8865 and p=0.6283).
Discussion: CRV is important in young patients undergoing CABG, but this principle remains less absolute in elderly patients. In our study, the survival benefit of CRV was less in octogenarians. Probably, the major benefit of CRV was seen in patients less than 80 years of age. This makes sense because these patients have a longer expected survival, and there were more patients available to statistically confirm any difference in outcome.
Conclusions: In octogenarians undergoing CABG, IRV does not affect survival and freedom from MACCE. Patients' preoperative conditions are important in determining short and long term outcomes.

Perioperative anaphylaxis is a serious entity with high morbidity and mortality. Perioperative anaphylaxis can be caused by any of the multitude of medications and substances used in anesthesia and surgery, and the most common causes include neuromuscular blocking agents, antibiotics, antiseptics, latex, and dyes. The differential diagnosis of perioperative anaphylaxis is wide from both an immunologic and a nonimmunologic standpoint.

Background: Lately, numerous researches have portrayed stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is predominantly connected with short-term adverse prognosis among individuals who have acute coronary syndrome. Nevertheless, the relation of SHR with prolonged effects and the value of SHR in predicting in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with or lacking chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unclear. The present study was designed to elucidate the relation of SHR with prolonged prognosis and the value of SHR in predicting the long-term all-cause and cardiovascular death of CAD patients with CKD or non-CKD.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become a dominant economic and health burden worldwide, and the role of autophagy in CAD requires further clarification. In this study, we comprehensively revealed the association between autophagy flux and CAD from multiple hierarchies. We explored autophagy-associated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and the mechanisms underlying oxidative stress-induced human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) injury.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD), primarily caused by atherosclerosis, is a leading cause of death, presenting as angina or myocardial infarction. Advances in cardiac imaging, angiography, and procedures like percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery have improved early detection and management of this condition. This report presents the case of a man who experienced worsening exertional chest pain and discomfort while at rest.

Introduction: Individuals with mental illness are at risk for poor surgical outcomes. Notably, the impact of preoperative assessment and optimization for high-risk surgical procedures remains a relatively understudied and evolving field. We sought to investigate the association between mental health assessment and postoperative outcomes.
