Using the SYNTAX score (SS) for decision-making between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and artery bypass graft (CABG) left main (LMCA) revascularization is under scrutiny. This study investigated clinical outcomes of LMCA stratified by SS. multicenter included 2138 patients recruited 2015 2020 who underwent disease using PCI or CABG were categorized based on their SS into three groups: low (≤22), intermediate (23–32), high (≥33). Patients with a compared those an experienced...

Abstract Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) secondary to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of in-hospital mortality. With the addition right ventricular dysfunction (RVD), it associated with poorer outcomes. This study examines impact RVD on mortality in CS-AMI patients, highlighting importance early identification and tailored management. Methods Data from Gulf Shock (Gulf-CS) registry—a multicenter registry patients six countries—were analyzed compare long-term outcomes for...

Background: There is a paucity of data regarding acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) in the Gulf region. This study addressed this knowledge gap examining patients experiencing AMI-CS region and analyzing hospital short-term follow-up mortality. Methods: The Gulf-Cardiogenic Shock registry included 1,513 with diagnosed between January 2020 December 2022. Results: incidence was 4.1% (1,513/37,379). median age 60 years. most common presentation...

Background Patients with acute heart failure ( AHF ) frequently have atrial fibrillation AF ), but how this affects patient‐reported outcomes has not been well characterized. Methods and Results We examined dyspnea improvement clinical in 7007 patients the Acute Study of Clinical Effectiveness Nesiritide Decompensated Heart Failure ASCEND ‐ HF trial. At baseline, 2677 (38.2%) had current or a history 4330 (61.8%) did not. were older than those without (72 vs. 63 years) more comorbidities...

Background: Preoperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) before coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) could improve operative outcomes by augmenting the diastolic blood flow. Data on preoperative IABP use in patients with left-main (LMCA) disease are limited. This study aimed to characterize who received CABG for LMCA and evaluate its effect postoperative outcomes. Methods: multicenter retrospective cohort that included consecutive 914 underwent unprotected from January 2015 December 2019...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects baseline anemia and following revascularization on outcomes in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease. Methods: This a retrospective, multicenter, observational conducted between January 2015 December 2019. data ULMCA who underwent through percutaneous intervention (PCI) or bypass graft (CABG) were stratified by hemoglobin level at into anemic non-anemic groups compare in-hospital events....

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The evidence about the optimal revascularization strategy in patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease and impaired renal function is limited. Thus, we aimed to compare outcomes of LMCA (percutaneous intervention [PCI] vs. bypass grafting [CABG]) without function. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This retrospective cohort study included 2,138 recruited from 14 centers between 2015 2,019. We compared who had PCI...

Abstract: Pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta are rare, yet they life-threatening conditions and usually associated with poor outcomes due to insidious presentation. Many different etiologies have been aortic pseudoaneurysms including; atherosclerosis, infections, connective tissue disorders, traumatic causes. In addition, reported following thoracic surgeries, including valve replacements, dissection repair, coronary artery bypass grafting. Aspergillus is amongst infectious...

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with multiple distal target (MDT) grafts requires less graft material and reduces cardiopulmonary time; however, there may be a higher incidence of failure. A real-world analysis reporting long-term outcomes associated MDT is lacking.Material Methods: In 6262 consecutive patients who underwent an isolated first CABG from 2004-2012, MDTs were propensity matched to those single (SDT) grafts. Logistic regression adjusted for traditional,...

BACKGROUND:The introduction of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) into the field percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was thought to be a promising step in solving issues raised with use early bare metal stents (BMS) and drug eluting (DES); however, studies have concerns regarding thrombosis risk associated these stents.
