Abstract Introduction Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular death worldwide. Haemodynamic (HD) instability defines high risk (HR) of early mortality and reperfusion treatment is the standard of care for rapid relieve of right ventricle (RV) overload in these situations. The impact of reperfusion in long-term outcomes is not well established. The PE Severity Index (PESI) score is used to stratify the risk of early death in HD stable patients (pts) and was not validated to predict outcomes in HR-PE. Purpose Estimate the prognostic performance of the PESI score in HR-PE and study its possible interaction in acute and long-term outcomes of reperfusion in HR-PE pts. Methods Retrospective single-centre study of consecutive HR-PE pts, defined by the 2019 ESC guidelines criteria, between 2008–2018. Logistic regression analysis was performed to test for an interaction between tertiles of the PESI score and reperfusion in early-mortality (during hospitalization and at 30 days) as well as 1-year MACE (a composite of cardiovascular mortality, PE recurrence or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension). Results Of a total of 1955 PE pts, 102 fulfilled the inclusion criteria (72.5% pts initially presented with HD instability with the remaining developing HR-PE after hospital admission). Mean age was 68±15 years and 60% were females. In-hospital and 30-day mortality were 39.6% and 43.0%, respectively. At one-year follow-up, MACE was 55.0%. Mean PESI at the time of HR-PE diagnosis was 200±39 and showed significant differences for in-hospital mortality (189±38 vs 217±34; OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00–1.03, p<0.001), 30-day mortality (191±38 vs 214±36; OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00–1.03, p=0.004) and 1y-MACE (186±41 vs 214±32; OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01–1.03, p<0.001). Total reperfusion rate was 57.8% and was also associated with lower in-hospital mortality (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.20–1.02; p=0.057), 30-day mortality (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.15–0.80; p=0.012) and 1y-MACE (OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.15–0.80; p=0.014). The benefit of reperfusion was significantly influenced by the PESI score categorized by tertiles (figure 1). Conclusions Although the PESI score stratifies HD stable pts, in this population it was able to predict cardiovascular outcomes in HR-PE pts. Furthermore, it showed a significant interaction with the prognostic impact of reperfusion in early and late cardiovascular outcomes. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.

Abstract Background Postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) is a leading cause of short- and long-term morbidity and mortality, as well as progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to explore the physicians’ attitude toward the use of perioperative serum creatinine (sCr) for the identification of patients at risk for PO-AKI and long-term CKD. We also evaluated the incidence and risk factors associated with PO-AKI and renal function deterioration in patients undergoing major surgery for malignant disease. Methods Adult oncological patients who underwent major abdominal surgery from November 2016 to February 2017 were considered for this single-centre, observational retrospective study. Routinely available sCr values were used to define AKI in the first three postoperative days. Long-term kidney dysfunction (LT-KDys) was defined as a reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate by more than 10 ml/min/m2 at 12 months postoperatively. A questionnaire was administered to 125 physicians caring for the enrolled patients to collect information on local attitudes regarding the use of sCr perioperatively and its relationship with PO-AKI. Results A total of 423 patients were observed. sCr was not available in 59 patients (13.9%); the remaining 364 (86.1%) had at least one sCr value measured to allow for detection of postoperative kidney impairment. Among these, PO-AKI was diagnosed in 8.2% of cases. Of the 334 patients who had a sCr result available at 12-month follow-up, 56 (16.8%) developed LT-KDys. Data on long-term kidney function were not available for 21% of patients. Interestingly, 33 of 423 patients (7.8%) did not have a sCr result available in the immediate postoperative period or long term. All the physicians who participated in the survey (83 out of 125) recognised that postoperative assessment of sCr is required after major oncological abdominal surgery, particularly in those patients at high risk for PO-AKI and LT-KDys. Conclusion PO-AKI after major surgery for malignant disease is common, but clinical practice of measuring sCr is variable. As a result, the exact incidence of PO-AKI and long-term renal prognosis are unclear, including in high-risk patients. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04341974.

Abstract Background Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is increasing in incidence. The aim of this work was to present our experience by reporting short-term and long-term outcomes after MILS for CRLM with comparative analysis of laparoscopic (LLS) and robotic liver surgery (RLS). Methods Twenty-five patients with CRLM, who underwent MILS between May 2012 and March 2020, were selected from our retrospective registry of minimally invasive liver surgery (MD-MILS). Thirteen of these patients underwent LLS and 12 RLS. Short-term and long-term outcomes of both groups were analyzed. Results Operating time was significantly longer in the RLS vs. the LLS group (342.0 vs. 200.0 min; p = 0.004). There was no significant difference between the laparoscopic vs. the robotic group regarding length of postoperative stay (8.8 days), measured blood loss (430.4 ml), intraoperative blood transfusion, overall morbidity (20.0%), and liver surgery related morbidity (4%). The mean BMI was 27.3 (range from 19.2 to 44.8) kg/m2. The 30-day mortality was 0%. R0 resection was achieved in all patients (100.0%) in RLS vs. 10 patients (76.9%) in LLS. Major resections were carried out in 32.0% of the cases, and 84.0% of the patients showed intra-abdominal adhesions due to previous abdominal surgery. In 24.0% of cases, the tumor was bilobar, the maximum number of tumors removed was 9, and the largest tumor was 8.5 cm in diameter. The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 84, 56.9, and 48.7%, respectively. The 1- and 3-year overall recurrence-free survival rates were 49.6 and 36.2%, respectively, without significant differences between RLS vs. LLS. Conclusion Minimally invasive liver surgery for CRLM is safe and feasible. Minimally invasive resection of multiple lesions and large tumors is also possible. RLS may help to achieve higher rates of R0 resections. High BMI, previous abdominal surgery, and bilobar tumors are not a barrier for MILS. Laparoscopic and robotic liver resections for CRLM provide similar long-term results which are comparable to open techniques.
