    Abstract Objective: Antiplatelet therapy after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is important in postoperative medical management. Although cardiac surgeons are well-versed in the guidelines regarding discontinuation of dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT; aspirin and a P2Y12 antagonist) before CABG to minimize bleeding risk, there is considerable variability in DAPT dosing after CABG. The objective of this study was to explore the current trends in DAPT after CABG in the UK to improve understanding of the existing practice.
    Design: This study used an online survey with 9 questions about the use of DAPT after CABG. An invitation to participate was sent to all adult cardiac surgeons currently in practice in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
    Setting: The study was conducted in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
    Participants: Participants in this study were adult cardiac surgeons currently in practice in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
    Interventions: There were no interventions in this study.
    Measurements and main results: Responses were received from across the UK (85.4% UK; 4% each from Scotland and Northern Ireland, 1.3% from Wales) and 5.3% from the Republic of Ireland. Fifty-seven percent of the respondents performed between 50 and 100 CABGs per year. Ninety-one percent of the respondents prescribe DAPT postoperatively, but the choice of which patients receive it varied. Most responding surgeons used DAPT for selective patient cohorts, such as those with acute coronary syndrome (51%), diffuse coronary artery disease (42%), perioperative myocardial infarction (36%), coronary endarterectomy (31%), or when bypassing a stented coronary artery (23%). Thirty-eight percent of the respondents began all their patients with CABGs on DAPT. The most preferred P2Y12 antagonist was clopidogrel, used by 75% of respondents and introduced on day 1 after surgical revascularization (71%). The routine duration for DAPT is 12 months, which 78% of the respondents preferred. The main reason for not starting DAPT in those surveyed was the bleeding risk associated with DAPT (72%).
    Conclusions: The survey uncovered variation in the use of DAPT after CABG. However, DAPT remains the preferred strategy after CABG in the UK. The study highlighted the need to develop standardized protocols for DAPT after CABG.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the standard of care for patients with complex multivessel coronary artery disease. However, conventional CABG utilizing left internal mammary artery and supplemental vein grafts performed on cardiopulmonary bypass is marred by questionable long-term patency of vein grafts and risk of neurological injury. Total arterial off-pump CABG is a strategy associated with avoidance of neurological injury and vein graft failure. The aim of this review is to summarize recent evidence on safety and effectiveness of total arterial off-pump CABG.
    Recent findings: Two key studies have been published recently. One describes a dual inflow technique that achieves anaortic, off-pump complete revascularization using arterial grafts only. The other is single centre study that reports 10-year survival of 89.33%, rate of freedom from repeat revascularization of 91.33% and early stroke rate of 0.9% after total arterial off-pump CABG.
    Summary: Total arterial off-pump CABG with its advantages of improved survival, enhanced freedom from repeat revascularization and low stroke rate can be regarded as the Holy Grail of myocardial revascularization. However, the results of a large, multicenter, prospective trial are required to substantiate this status.

    Abstract Excessive bleeding is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Bleeding after cardiac surgery is multifactorial. Adherence to the proverbial 6 Ps remains the cornerstone of any strategy for management of postoperative bleeding after cardiac surgery. Recent years have seen a surge in the number of patients who have been prescribed novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) for the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic events. This phenomenon has significant repercussions particularly for patients presenting for emergency cardiac surgery. The published evidence guiding management of such patients is limited and in the form of expert consensus. Plasma levels of NOAC >30 ng/ml necessitate specific therapeutic interventions to tackle excessive bleeding attributed to NOAC intake. Current recommendation is to consider using specific reversal agent if available. Otherwise, use of prothrombin complex concentrates is recommended.
