TL;DR: Clinically silent new foci of restricted diffusion on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging were detected in almost all patients undergoing TAVI, although typically multiple, these foci were not associated with apparent neurological events or measurable deterioration of neurocognitive function during 3-month follow-up.

TL;DR: Remote ischaemic preconditioning provided perioperative myocardial protection and improved the prognosis of patients undergoing elective CABG surgery.

TL;DR: This first team-based multi-centre European TAVI registry shows promising results in high-risk patients treated by TF or TA delivery, and Optimal patient screening, approach selection, and device refinement may improve outcomes.

TL;DR: First-line administration of coagulation factor concentrates combined with point-of-care testing was associated with decreased incidence of blood transfusion and thrombotic/thromboembolic events.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that RIPC during isoflurane anesthesia attenuates myocardial injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and that effects may be different during propofol anesthesia.
