BackgroundCoronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are increasingly diagnosed on coronary angiography; however, controversies persist regarding their optimal management. In the present study, we analysed the long-term outcomes of patients with CAAs following three different management strategies.MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of patient records with documented CAA diagnosis between 2000 and 2005. Patients were divided into three groups: medical management versus percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We analysed the rate of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) over a period of 10 years.ResultsWe identified 458 patients with CAAs (mean age 78±10.5 years, 74.5% men) who received medical therapy (N=230) or underwent PCI (N=52) or CABG (N=176). The incidence of CAAs was 0.7% of the total catheterisation reports. The left anterior descending was the most common coronary artery involved (38%). The median follow-up time was 62 months. The total number of MACCE during follow-up was 155 (33.8%); 91 (39.6%) in the medical management group vs 46 (26.1%) in the CABG group vs 18 (34.6%) in the PCI group (p=0.02). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that CABG was associated with better MACCE-free survival (p log-rank=0.03) than medical management. These results were confirmed on univariate Cox regression, but not multivariate regression (OR 0.773 (0.526 to 1.136); p=0.19). Both Kaplan-Meier survival and regression analyses showed that dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and anticoagulation were not associated with significant improvement in MACCE rates.ConclusionOur analysis showed similar long-term MACCE risks in patients with CAA undergoing medical, percutaneous and surgical management. Further, DAPT and anticoagulation were not associated with significant benefits in terms of MACCE rates. These results should be interpreted with caution considering the small size and potential for selection bias and should be confirmed in large, randomised trials.

Hba1c Levels

Objective: to estimate the association between preoperative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels below and above 7%, and the rate of all-cause mortality (ACM) in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within a ten-year follow-up period. Methods: we collected data on patient HbA1c levels that were measured up to 3 months prior to isolated CABG in consecutive patients with DM, and analyzed the rates of ACM over a median of a 5.9-year post-operative period. Results: preoperative HbA1c levels were collected in 579 DM patients. The mean HbA1c was 8.0 ± 1.7%, where 206 (35.6%) patients had an HbA1c ≤ 7% and 373 (64.4%) had an HbA1c > 7%. During the follow-up period, mortality rates were 20.4% and 28.7% in the HbA1c ≤ 7% and HbA1c > 7% groups, respectively (Kaplan-Meier estimates, log-rank p = 0.01). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, adjusted for age, gender, smoking status, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, chronic renal failure, old myocardial infarction, number of coronary artery bypass surgeries, and post-operative glycemic control, showed a hazard ratio of 2.67 for long-term ACM (p = 0.001) in patients with HbA1c > 7%. Conclusions: DM patients with high HbA1c levels prior to CABG are at higher risk for long-term complications, especially late ACM.

Background: Long term outcomes of culprit multi-vessel and left main patients who presented with Non-ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and underwent either coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not well defined. Randomized trials comparing the two modalities constituted mainly of patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). We performed a meta-analysis of studies that compared the long term outcomes of CABG vs. PCI in NSTE-ACS. Methods: Medline, EmCare, CINAHL, Cochrane databases were queried for relevant articles. Studies that included patients with SCAD and ST-elevation myocardial infarction were excluded. Our primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 3-5 years, defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, stroke, re-infarction and repeat revascularization. The secondary outcome was re-infarction at 3 to 5 years. We used the Paule-Mandel method with Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman adjustment to estimate risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was assessed using Higgin’s I 2 statistics. All statistical analysis was carried out using R version 3.6.2 Results: Four observational studies met our inclusion criteria with a total number of 6695 patients. At 3 to 5 years, the PCI group was associated with a higher risk of MACE as compared to CABG, (RR): 1.52, 95% CI: 1.28 to 1.81, I 2 =0% (PANEL A). The PCI group also had a higher risk of re-infarctions during the period of follow up, RR: 1.88, 95% CI 1.49 to 2.38, I 2 =0% (PANEL B). Conclusion: In this meta-analysis, CABG was associated with a lower risk of MACE and re-infarctions as compared to PCI during 3 to 5 years follow up period.

Background: The prognostic and clinical value of preopeartive anemia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery has recently been recognized. However, very limited information exists on the impact of preopeartive anemia on long-term outcomes following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This study aimed at examining the degree to which preopeartive anemia affects long-term outcomes after isolated CABG surgery. Methods: A unicenter study was conducted on 5488 consecutive survivors of isolated CABG between January 1999 and December 2005. Preopeartive anemia was defined according to the World Health Organization definition (hemoglobin < 13g/dL for male; hemoglobin < 12g/dL for female). Long-term outcomes of interest were total mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), repeated revascularization, and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs=total mortality or MI or repeated revascularization). These outcomes were compared after adjustment for differences in baseline risk factors among the patients. Results: 1437 (26.2%) patients had preoperative anemia. After a mean follow-up of 43.3±18.3 months, preoperative anemia was found to be an independent risk factor for total mortality (hazard ration [HR]: 1.490; 95% CI: 1.074 to 2.067; p=0.017), MI (HR: 1.595; 95% CI: 1.028 to 2.474; p=0.037) and MACEs (HR: 1.363; 95% CI: 1.059 to 1.755; p=0.016). We also found that aspirins and beta-blockers were underused in patients with anemia during follow-up. Conclusions: Preopeartive anemia has a strong negative impact on long-term outcomes following isolated CABG. Our data also suggest that the incorporation of preoperative anemia into the risk assessments of long-term outcomes after CABG is recommended. Future intense and systematic studies are needed to help ensure high-quality cardiac care of patients with anemia.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background-Whether Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) confers a survival benefit in patients with diabetes mellitus(DM) and complex coronary artery disease (CAD), including left main CAD and multivessel coronary disease (MVD) after a follow up period ≥ 5 years remains unknown. Methods- Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane) were searched from inception to December 12th 2020. Using a generic invariance weighted random effects model, Hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) from individual studies were converted to Log HRs and corresponding standard errors, which were then pooled. The primary outcome of interest was all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) which was defined as a composite of death, myocardial reinfarction and stroke at ≥ 5 years. Results-A total of 8 studies with 13336 participants(PCI = 6783, CABG = 6553)were included in our analysis. Mean age was 54.6 and 55.3 in the PCI-DES and CABG groups respectively. The 5-yr follow-up outcomes including all-cause mortality (HR 1.37; 95%CI 1.15-1.65; p = 0.0006, I2 = 0)and MACCE (HR 1.48; 95%CI 1.29-1.69; p &lt; 0.00001, I2 = 0) were significantly higher with PCI as compared to CABG. Furthermore, at &gt;5 year follow-up, all-cause mortality (HR 1.35; 95%CI 1.10-1.66; p = 0.004, I2 = 37) and MACCE (HR 1.98; 95%CI 1.85-2.12; p &lt; 0.00001, I2 = 0) had similar outcomes. Conclusion-Amongst patients with DM and Complex CAD ( left main/MVD), CABG was associated with improved long-term mortality and freedom from MACCEs as opposed to PCI-DES. CABG is the preferred revascularization strategy in patients with complex anatomic disease and concurrent diabetes. Abstract Figure.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Female gender is reported as an independent risk factor for a poor outcome after coronary artery bypass grafting. We analysed the influence of gender on surgical outcome in patients with single-vessel disease undergoing minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB). METHODS From January 1998 to December 2016, a total of 607 consecutive patients with single-vessel disease (31.9% women) underwent MIDCAB at our institution. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) were recorded during a median follow-up period of 8.0 years. Survival time was estimated for all patients and after applying propensity score matching (138 women vs 138 men). Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified risk factors predicting a long-term mortality rate. RESULTS In women, a longer surgical time (125 vs 113 min; P &lt; 0.001) and a higher transfusion rate were recorded (13.0% vs 5.1%; P = 0.001) with similar rates of in-hospital deaths (1.0% vs 0.5%; P = 0.60) and MACCE (1.5% vs 0.7%; P = 0.39). Survival and MACCE-free survival during the follow-up period did not differ significantly between genders (P = 1.0, P = 0.36). Survival and MACCE-free survival rates after 5 years were 94% and 90% in women compared to 91% and 86% in men. Propensity score matching demonstrated improved long-term survival rates in women (P = 0.029). Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, postoperative atrial fibrillation and prolonged intensive care unit stay were associated with long-term deaths for both genders, whereas obesity, former myocardial infarction and preoperative atrial fibrillation were significant risk factors in men. CONCLUSIONS Female patients showed no adverse outcomes after MIDCAB, although risk factors were gender-specific. Overall, MIDCAB demonstrated excellent short- and long-term results as a treatment for single-vessel disease in both genders.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Our aim was to investigate the outcome of patients with diabetes undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in a whole population with main focus on long-term mortality and complications. METHODS This was a nationwide retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent isolated primary CABG in Iceland between 2001 and 2016. Overall survival together with the composite end point of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events was compared between patients with diabetes and patients without diabetes during a median follow-up of 8.5 years. Multivariable regression analyses were used to evaluate the impact of diabetes on both short- and long-term outcomes. RESULTS Of a total of 2060 patients, 356 (17%) patients had diabetes. Patients with diabetes had a higher body mass index (29.9 vs 27.9 kg/m2) and more often had hypertension (83% vs 62%) and chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤60 ml/min/1.73 m2, 21% vs 14%). Patients with diabetes had an increased risk of operative mortality [odds ratio 2.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27–4.80] when adjusted for confounders. 5-Year overall survival (85% vs 91%, P &lt; 0.001) and 5-year freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events were also inferior for patients with diabetes (77% vs 82%, P &lt; 0.001). Cox regression analysis adjusting for potential confounders showed that the diagnosis of diabetes significantly predicted all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.87, 95% CI 1.53–2.29] and increased risk of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (HR 1.47, 95% CI 1.23–1.75). CONCLUSIONS Patients with diabetes have significantly lower survival after CABG, both within 30 days and during long-term follow-up.
