TL;DR: Recurrent MR late after ring annuloplasty is associated with continued LV remodeling, emphasizing its dynamic relation to the LV.

TL;DR: The analysis suggested using goal-directed oxygen delivery on CPB and the “KDIGO bundle of care” in high-risk patients to prevent CS-AKI, and suggested considering the use of vasopressin in vasoplegic shock patients to reduce CS- AKI.

TL;DR: Intraoperative RBC transfusion is associated with a small increase in odds of HAI in CABG patients, and future studies should explore whether reductions in R BC transfusion can also reduce HAIs.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors determined whether intraoperative packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBC) was associated with a higher incidence of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolic (HA-VTE) complications and adverse outcomes after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.

TL;DR: In this article , a systematic review of existing literature for various interventions related to the preoperative and intraoperative pain management of cardiac surgical patients is presented, including preoperative patient evaluation, pain management, and opioid use focused education as well as perioperative use of multimodal analgesics.
