Coronary artery bypass grafting has evolved considerably since it was introduced approximately 50 years ago, with continuously improved patient outcomes as a result of this growth. The most up-to-date evidence on topics such as graft patency, grafting strategy, approaches to graft harvesting, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting, and postoperative pharmacotherapy may lead to changes in current accepted practice. In addition, several unanswered questions in the field of coronary artery bypass grafting may benefit from further investigation and, if resolved, might advance the field and change practice...

Renal denervation (RDN) is a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of difficult to treat hypertension. The blood pressure (BP)-lowering efficacy of RDN is comparable to those of many single antihypertensive medications and it allows to consider the RDN as a valuable option for the treatment of difficult to treat hypertension together with lifestyle modifications and medical therapy. A multidisciplinary team is of pivotal importance from the selection of the patient candidate for the procedure to the post-procedural management...

This systematic review and meta-analysis compared trans-carotid artery revascularization (TCAR) as an alternative approach to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with carotid artery disease. An electronic search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane databases including comparative studies with patients who underwent either TCAR or CEA. This meta-analysis is according to the recommendations of the PRISMA statement. Eight studies met our eligibility criteria, incorporating 7,606 and 7,048 patients in the TCAR and CEA groups, respectively...

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an important complication of stroke. As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) enters the stage of persistent and long-term management, the clinical management of DVT in stroke patients may require adjustment. The present study evaluated whether there was an increased risk of DVT in stroke patients during the COVID-19 period. Furthermore, we analyzed the possible risk factors and developed an easy-to-use nomogram to predict DVT in stroke patients during the long-term management of COVID-19...

BACKGROUND: Sclerotherapy is a cornerstone of the treatment of chronic venous disease, despite some technical aspects (e.g., sclerosant liquid agent concentration [SLAC] and contact time between sclerosant agent and vein wall [ctSA/VW]) to maximize outcomes remain an unsolved problem and a source of debate. An innovative three-balloon catheter has been developed to allow sclerotherapy in empty vein conditions (Empty Vein Ablation technique, EVA), revolutionizing the definition of SLAC and ctSA/VW...

OBJECTIVE: Tools for endovascular performance assessment are necessary in competency based education. This study aimed to develop and test a detailed analysis tool to assess steps, errors, and events in peripheral endovascular interventions (PVI). METHODS: A modified Delphi consensus was used to identify steps, errors, and events in iliac-femoral-popliteal endovascular interventions. International experts in vascular surgery, interventional radiology, cardiology, and angiology were identified, based on their scientific track record...

This meta-analysis assessed the use of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a means of early detection of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. We used Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus to conduct a systematic search. There was no limitation regarding language or date of publication. We reported standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Due to high heterogeneity, a random-effects model was used, and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used for quality assessment...

The aim of this review was to perform a critical appraisal of serum inflammatory biomarkers used for the prediction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We conducted a systematic review of studies listed on MEDLINE and Scopus from January 2000 to December 2023, focused on the prognostic value of serum inflammatory biomarkers [i.e., C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in individuals without known CVD. Eligible studies used a multivariate prediction model and included discrimination or risk reclassification analysis...

Acute coronary syndrome is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Up to 60% of patients present with additional significant non-culprit lesions. Complete revascularization (CR) of all (culprit and non-culprit) lesions is recommended and recent randomized trials showed the benefit of performing complete multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention in a single setting. Immediate CR is associated with a reduced risk of repeat myocardial infarction and unplanned ischemia driven revascularization. Furthermore, immediate CR resulted in less implanted stents, total contrast use and a shorter duration of hospitalization while maintaining a similar success rate of complete revascularization...

Patients with well-controlled low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels still suffer from the progress of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and can develop adverse outcomes. We conducted this study to analyze the relationship between elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels and ASCVD risk. We enrolled 8070 patients in the ASCVD group and 440 participants in the non-ASCVD group [median age of 60 years; 6376 (74.9%) were male]. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify the relationships between the lipids and ASCVD...

Stroke remains a clinical risk in the long-term follow-up of patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We aimed to investigate the association between existing carotid artery stenosis (CS) and the risk of stroke after TAVI. The study participants were consecutive patients who underwent TAVI between 2008 and 2020 and were screened for CS at baseline and at the 30-day follow-up. Hemodynamically relevant CS was defined as a reduction of the carotid artery caliber by >50% in relation to the distal segment...

BACKGROUND: High-risk carotid artery plaque (HPR) is associated with a markedly increased risk of ischemic stroke. The aims of this study were: 1) to examine the prevalence of HRP in a cohort of asymptomatic adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D); 2) to investigate the relationship between HRP, established cardiovascular risk factors and computed tomography angiography (CTA) profile; and 3) to assess whether the presence of HRP is associated with an increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)...

This study aimed to determine whether red cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with coronary calcification. A total of 4796 patients who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography and subsequent invasive coronary angiography were consecutively enrolled. Coronary artery calcium score (CACS), demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected from electronic medical records. RDW were expressed in two forms, as a coefficient of variation (CV) or as a standard deviation (SD). Multivariable ordinal logistic regression was used to investigate the association of RDW with CACS grades (CACS 0-99, 100-399, 400-999, and >1000)...

ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a large-scale language processing model, with possibilities for professional patient support in a patient-friendly way. The aim of the study was to examine the accuracy and reproducibility of ChatGPT in answering questions about knowledge and management of heart failure (HF). First, we recorded 47 most frequently asked questions by patients about HF. The answers of ChatGPT to these questions were independently assessed by two researchers. ChatGPT was able to render the definition of the disease in a very simple and explanatory way...

The epidemiology of renal artery atherosclerosis in community populations is poorly documented. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of renal artery plaque (RAP) and atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), and the association of plaque and stenosis with vascular risk factors and kidney disease markers among community-dwelling adults. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the Polyvascular Evaluation for Cognitive Impairment and Vascular Events (PRECISE) study. RAP and ARAS were evaluated by thoracoabdominal computed tomography angiography...
