The surgical management of advanced symptomatic atherosclerotic disease in multiple distributions including the coronary circulation presents unique challenges due to the high risk of perioperative ischemic complications in the setting of coronary artery bypass grafting. We present a novel case of the combined surgical management of symptomatic carotid, coronary and mesenteric ischemic disease. The patient underwent carotid endarterectomy followed by combined coronary and mesenteric revascularization using cardiopulmonary bypass during the same hospital admission. He had an uncomplicated post-operative course and was discharged to home on post-operative day 7 after the combined procedure. Ninety-day follow-up was also unremarkable with the patient having no recurrent symptoms of ischemia. This case demonstrates the feasibility and safety of our approach for this rare clinical presentation.

Organ-specific malperfusion in acute type A aortic dissection: epidemiological meta-analysis of incidence rates.
BJS Open

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital, Liverpool, UK.
Background: Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening clinical emergency that necessitates immediate surgical intervention with an estimated mortality rate of approximately 1-2% per hour. When complicated by malperfusion, the perioperative mortality rate is reported to be increased by up to 39%. Malperfusion can affect many vascular beds with varying incidence and severity, resulting in coronary, cerebral, visceral, peripheral, renal or spinal malperfusion.

Background: Vascular calcification is highly prevalent and associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, extreme splanchnic arterial calcification in calciphylaxis with poor prognosis raises questions regarding the reliability of previous vascular calcification scoring methods. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the distribution characteristics of abdominal aortic branch calcification and identify a more reliable predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients.

(CM), a well-known parasitic fungus that grows on the larvae of , has a variety of pharmacological activities. However, little is known about its safe dosage for animals, including pigs. To explore its effect on intestinal health and evaluate its safe dosage, 30 weaned pigs were randomly allotted to five groups and fed with a basal diet supplemented with different doses of CM for 42 days.

Importance: Gastrointestinal complications are common perioperative complications in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), and as near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a non-invasive, real-time monitoring of regional tissue oxygenation, we envisioned monitoring and preventing the development of gastrointestinal complications through the use of NIRS.
Objective: To assess the utility of NIRS for predicting gastrointestinal complication risks and determining optimal initial feeding times in infants post-cardiac surgery.
Methods: This retrospective study included 65 infants with CHD treated at our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022.
