Post-CPB Hemodynamics and Mortality After Aortic Surgery

In 691 aortic surgery patients, post-bypass blood pressure and shock indices tracked 30-day mortality; exploratory thresholds require external validation.

Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Replacement and Stroke Risk: A Matched Study

A 155-pair study links miniAVR with fewer stroke/TIA events, but rare outcomes, residual confounding, and unequal follow-up limit causal conclusions.

Early Cooling After Cardiac Arrest: Does Time to Target Temperature Matter?

A systematic review of 11 randomized trials found no overall survival or neurologic benefit from early cooling after cardiac arrest. Actual target achievement was often delayed, and cooling techniques carried different safety concerns. The findings distinguish starting cooling from reaching the intended temperature.

Quantitative flow ratio guidance reduced three-year major adverse cardiac events in the multivessel subgroup of FAVOR III China. This randomized-trial secondary analysis found no significant interaction by disease status, an essential limit when interpreting subgroup results.

Three-year results show fewer major adverse cardiac events in the multivessel subgroup, with no significant interaction by disease status.
