Intestinal bypass surgery as a treatment for morbid obesity was quite popular from 1965 to 1975 in the United States. The procedure was successful in reducing body weight but was controversial because of a high rate of complications which included an arthritis-dermatitis syndrome. Herein we review the knowledge garnered from a study of the complications from intestinal bypass surgery. Emphasis is placed on an analysis of the clinical manifestations, and the pathogenesis of the arthritis-dermatitis bypass syndrome, and how bypass disease may serve as a model for immune complex-mediated disease and for extra-intestinal complications in other enteropathies.

Background & Aim: The definition and clinical relevance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-related myocardial infarction (MI) has been a topic of significant debate and controversy. It has particularly garnered widespread attention recently due to a contemporary trend of including it as a component of primary end points in major trials. The study aimed to assess the clinical relevance of PCI-related MI (PMI) according to the Fourth Universal Definition of MI using a high-sensitivity troponin (hs-Tn) assay in a real-world setting.

Objective: To compare sex and racial differences in 180-day infection rates after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and aortic valve replacement (AVR).
Methods: A Statewide Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database was linked to Medicare claims data to identify 8,887 beneficiaries undergoing CABG and AVR (surgical or transcatheter) between 2017 and 2021. The primary outcome was the incidence of 180-day infection.

In coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the use of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is considered the gold standard. The conventional technique of using electrocautery for LIMA harvesting is associated with adverse events. In this study, we used a different technique that combined carbon dioxide with electrocautery to harvest LIMA and compared it with the conventional electrocautery method.

The transcatheter management of complex cardiovascular diseases has significantly evolved, offering less invasive alternatives to traditional surgical interventions. In this report we describe 2 cases of patients who developed ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms soon after coronary artery bypass grafting. With meticulous computed tomography angiography planning and with live intracardiac echography, these patients underwent successful transcatheter repair using a 6/4-mm Amplatzer Duct Occluder II (Abbott) vascular plug.
