Antithrombotic treatment and perioperative management in patients with hemophilia remains a challenge. As life expectancy in these patients is increasing, a concern about cardiovascular diseases is emerging. Herein we present the case of a 68 year-old patient with mild hemophilia B and multivessel coronary disease who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Off-pump surgery with continuous infusion FIX treatment was performed successfully with stable factor IX levels, and no bleeding or thrombotic complications. There is a paucity of cases reported regarding management of CABG in this population. To our knowledge, this is the first patient with mild hemophilia B that underwent CABG surgery with off-pump technique, that seems to be a secure and effective procedure.

Background: Literature is not clear whether women experience increased mortality and adverse events after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Studies have shown that women had comparative outcomes to men in off-pump CABG (OPCAB). Hence, we undertook this study to understand the short- and long-term outcomes of women compared to men after OPCAB.

BACKGROUND Acute intramural hematoma (IMH) of the ascending thoracic aorta and aortic arch is a life-threatening condition, particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities, due to its risk of progression and rupture. Unlike aortic dissection, IMH lacks an intimal tear, influencing both clinical presentation and treatment strategy. This report describes a 74-year-old hypertensive woman with type A IMH and a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU), managed with a hybrid surgical approach that combines external Dacron wrapping of the ascending aorta and endovascular stenting of the aortic arch with in-situ fenestration of the supra-aortic arteries.

Submitral aneurysm is a challenging and uncommon cardiac disease that is uniquely related to the posterior mitral valve leaflet. Awareness and prompt identification are vital because of the strong predilection for sudden fatal complications. Techniques and timing of surgical procedures are not standardized, especially in incidentally detected cases.

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the relationship between carotid stenting and off-pump coronary artery grafting (CAS-OPCABG) and OPCABG only in patients with asymptomatic severe carotid stenosis.
Methods: This study retrospectively included 669 patients with asymptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis who underwent OPCABG at multiple centers. After propensity score matching for baseline characteristics, the study compared two groups of patients with clinical data, early and midterm death, stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI).
Heparin rebound in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a single-center retrospective study.

Department of Anesthesiology, Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, No. 167, Beilishi Road, Xicheng District, China.
Background: Heparin, an anticoagulant used in cardiac surgery, can result in heparin rebound (HR), where it returns postoperatively despite being neutralized with protamine. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of HR in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) and evaluate the impact of HR on their short-term outcomes.
Methods: HR was defined by a 10% increase in activated coagulation time (ACT) following two hours of heparin neutralization with protamine, bleeding over 200 mL/h, and abnormal laboratory coagulation examination results.
