Introduction: The Classification of Intraoperative Complications (CLASSIC) is one of two recent classification systems for intraoperative adverse events (iAEs), featuring simple but inclusive definitions. No data have been reported regarding the relation between CLASSIC and postoperative course. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relation between the grade of iAEs and the grade of postoperative complications in patients who underwent hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) surgery.
Methods: Demography, preoperative laboratory parameters, iAEs, postoperative complications, and intraoperative pH and lactate levels of patients who underwent HPB surgery between December 2014 and December 2015 were evaluated retrospectively. The recorded parameters were compared according to the grade of iAEs and the grade of postoperative complications described in the Accordion Severity Classification of Postoperative Complications.
Results: Fifty-eight patients were considered. Mean age was 56 ± 15, 21 female vs. 37 male, 47 malign vs. 11 benign. Demographic features and preoperative status of the patients, and the presence of intraoperative acidosis were not significantly related to the grade of iAEs or postoperative complications. The grade of iAEs was directly proportional to the grade of postoperative complications (p = 0.031). Although it is not statistically significant, lactate level at the end of operation had a potential to predict the postoperative course (p = 0.057).
Conclusions: The grade of iAEs has a predictive value for the grade of postoperative complications in HPB surgery patients; hence, high grade of iAEs is significantly related to high grade of postoperative complications. Lactate level at the end of operation has the potential to predict the postoperative course.

Objectives: Malnutrition is very common in people with cancer. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) recommendation on criteria has been proposed as a gold standard for diagnosing malnutrition. The diagnosis of malnutrition includes phenotypic criteria such as unintentional weight loss and etiologic criteria such as reduced food intake.

Background: Lower mini-sternotomy offers the advantage of providing excellent visualization of the 4 cardiac cavities, allowing surgical treatment of aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves as well as any intra-cavitary procedure. Technical issues, as well as safety and echocardiographic results of this approach, are lacking. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe outcomes of lower mini-sternotomy to treat valvulopathies and other intracardiac surgeries.

Introduction: ProGlide is a suture-mediated vascular closure device (VCD) indicated for retrograde access closure at the common femoral artery (CFA). However, its off-label use for antegrade and/or superficial femoral artery (SFA) access has become common in many practices. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ProGlide for femoral artery access closure in patients undergoing antegrade infrainguinal endovascular procedures.

Objective: Varicose vein ablation is generally indicated in patients with active/healed venous ulcers. However, patient selection for intervention in individuals without venous ulcers is less clear. Tools that predict lack of clinical improvement (LCI) following vein ablation may help guide clinical decision-making but remain limited.
