Article Abstract
Objectives: APORTEI score is a new risk prediction model for patients with infective endocarditis. It has been recently validated on a Spanish multicentric national cohort of patients. The aim of the present study is to compare APORTEI performances with logistic EuroSCORE and EuroSCORE II by testing calibration and discrimination on a local sample population underwent cardiac surgery because of endocarditis.
Methods: We tested three prediction scores on 111 patients underwent surgery from 2014 to 2020 at our Institution because of infective endocarditis. Area under the curves and Hosmer-Lemeshow test were used to analyze discrimination and calibration respectively of logistic EuroSCORE, EuroSCORE II and APORTEI score.
Results: The overall observed one-month mortality rate was 21.6%. The observed-to-expected ratio was 1.27 for logistic EuroSCORE, 3.27 for EuroSCORE II and 0.94 for APORTEI. The area under the curve (AUC) value of APORTEI (0.88±0.05) was significantly higher than that one of logistic EuroSCORE (AUC 0.77±0.05; p 0.0001) and of EuroSCORE II (AUC 0.74±0.05; p 0.0005). Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed better calibration performance of the APORTEI, (logistic EuroSCORE: p 0.19; EuroSCORE II: p 0.11; APORTEI: p 0.56).
Conclusion: APORTEI risk score shows significantly higher performances in term of discrimination and calibration compared with both logistic EuroSCORE and EuroSCORE II.

Safety and resource utilisation efficiency of semi-skeletonised versus skeletonised left internal mammary artery harvesting techniques: The BANGABANDHU study.
PLoS One

Department of Cardiac Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Background: The ideal harvesting techniques of the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) are elusive. We assessed the safety and resource utilisation efficiency of semi-skeletonised LIMA harvesting techniques, focusing on length, harvesting time, and the number of Ligaclips used compared to skeletonised techniques within a single surgeon's practice.
Methods: The BANGABANDHU (Bangladeshi Atherosclerosis Biobank AND Hub) study was an ambispective observational cohort that evaluated age- and sex-matched 2209 adult Bangladeshi isolated CABG population from 1st January 2015 to 31 January 2025.
New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Following Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Is Pulmonary Hypertension a Risk Factor?

Introduction: This study aimed to clarify whether pulmonary hypertension is a risk factor for postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: Data of 4,782 patients were retrospectively examined from clinical database, and data of isolated CABG performed patients (n = 854) with preoperative echocardiography including pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) measurement were enrolled in study. While 115 patients had post-CABG NOAF (atrial fibrillation [AF] group), 739 did not have AF (non-AF group).

This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML) algorithm to predict 30-day mortality following isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and to compare its performance against the widely used European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (EuroSCORE II) risk prediction model. In this retrospective study, we included consecutive adult patients who underwent isolated CABG between January 2009 and December 2022. Three predictive models were compared: (1) EuroSCORE II variables alone (baseline), (2) EuroSCORE II combined with additional preoperative variables (Model I), and (3) EuroSCORE II plus preoperative and postoperative variables available within five days after surgery (Model II).

Background: Transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) is an effective and safe method for treating high-risk patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Two approved devices, MitraClip (Abbott Vascular) and PASCAL (Edwards Lifesciences), use leaflet approximation to reduce MR and may also influence annular dimensions via leaflet tension. The purpose of this study is to analyze the acute mitral annular dimensional changes following PASCAL implantation and correlate with long-term results.
