    Abstract The study aimed to provide physician modified fenestration (PMF) on a single-branched stent for the aortic arch (Castor) to protect the isolated left vertebral artery (ILVA) during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Patients who underwent TEVAR involving ILVA reconstruction through PMF performing on the Castor branched stent were included in a retrospective, multi-centre study from June 2018 to December 2022. In these patients, all proximal landing zones of "Castor" were positioned in Ishimaru zone 2a. A total of twenty-five patients met the inclusion criteria and the achievement rate showed 25/25 (100%) success in them. The twenty-five patients had a median follow-up length of 28.5 ± 14.6 months. One patient (4.0%) suffered from postoperative ischemic stroke before discharge. One patient (4.0%) died from a hemodialysis-related brain hemorrhage before discharge on the 29th day after the procedure. One patient died of advanced liver cancer in the 33th month after discharge. Aortic rupture, stroke or spinal cord injury did not occur throughout the follow-up period after discharge. Two patients (8.0%) experienced endoleak at the fenestration, however, resulting in only one's necessity for reintervention. Notably, the procedure effectively maintained ILVAs patency for all patients during follow up. According to our preliminary findings, performing a TEVAR under local anaesthesia using PMF on a Castor branched stent for ILVA preservation appeared practical, secure, and effective.

    Abstract Abnormal drainage of the inferior vena cava to the left atrium and Budd-Chiari syndrome are different congenital malformations. The combination of these 2 disorders is very rare. We report a case of a 35-year-old woman with anomalous inferior vena cava drainage into the left atrium resulting in delayed hypoxic symptoms after interventional therapy for Budd-Chiari syndrome 17 years ago. We speculate that an abnormality of the Eustachian valve is the cause of these 2 disorders. After surgical treatment, the patient's oxygen saturation returned to normal.

    Abstract Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an acute renal complication that can occur after the use of iodinated contrast media. Remnant cholesterol (RC) is one of the markers of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. We evaluated the impact of RC on CIN and clinical outcomes after coronary angiography (CAG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Consecutive patients (

    Abstract Background: We compared total arterial revascularization (TAR) versus conventional revascularization (CR) in terms of left ventricular function recovery in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 162 consecutive patients with multivessel CAD and reduced LVEF who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting at our institution between January 2013 and July 2022. We assessed left ventricular function by transthoracic echocardiography at admission, before discharge, and at follow-up of 3, 6, and 12 months, using LVEF, global longitudinal peak strain, end-diastolic volume index, and end-systolic volume index. We also evaluated mitral valve regurgitation and graft patency rate at 1 year.
    Results: The TAR group had a significantly higher increase in LVEF and global longitudinal peak strain, and a significantly lower decrease in end-diastolic volume index and end-systolic volume index than the CR group at 6 and 12 months after surgery. The TAR group also had a significantly lower degree of mitral valve regurgitation than the CR group at all-time points within 12 months after surgery. The TAR group had a significantly higher graft patency rate than the CR group at 12 months. There was no significant difference in hospital mortality or repeat revascularization between the groups.
    Conclusions: TAR was associated with better recovery of left ventricular function than CR in patients with multivessel CAD and reduced LVEF. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings in this high-risk population.

    Abstract Background: Numerous recent studies have found a strong correlation between intestinal flora and the occurrence of hypertension. However, it remains unclear whether fecal microbiota transfer might affect the blood pressure of the host. This study aimed to quantify both associations.
    Methods: An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang database, Weipu, Embase, and SinoMed to retrieve relevant studies. The final search was completed on August 22, 2022. Two authors independently applied the inclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias assessment. All data were analyzed using RevMan 5.4.
    Results: A total of 5 articles were selected for final inclusion. All studies were assessed as having a high risk of bias according to the SYRCLE risk of bias tool. The meta-analysis results showed that transplantation of fecal bacteria from the hypertensive model can significantly improve the host's systolic pressure (MD = 18.37, 95%CI: 9.74~26.99, P<0.001), and diastolic pressure (MD = 17.65, 95%CI: 12.37~22.93, P<0.001). Subgroup analyses revealed that the increase in systolic pressure in the hypertension model subgroup (MD = 29.56, 95%CI = 23.55-35.58, P<0.001) was more pronounced than that in the normotensive model subgroup (MD = 12.48, 95%CI = 3.51-21.45, P<0.001).
    Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests a relationship between gut microbiota dysbiosis and increased blood pressure, where transplantation of fecal bacteria from the hypertensive model can cause a significant increase in systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in animal models.

    Abstract Background and aims: Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) and body mass index (BMI) are not always correlated and their relationship is probably dependent on age, indicating differential age-specific associations of these factors with health outcomes. We aim to discriminate the roles of LDLc and BMI in coronary heart disease (CHD) across different age groups.
    Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of 368,274 participants aged 38-73 years and free of CHD at baseline. LDLc and BMI were measured at baseline, and incident CHD was the main outcome. Cox proportional hazards model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression were used to estimate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of exposure on CHD.
    Results: After a mean of 12 years of follow-up, similar relationships of LDLc and BMI with CHD risk were observed in the overall population but in differential age-specific patterns. Across the age groups of <50, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64 and ≥ 65 years, the LDLc-CHD association diminished with the adjusted HRs decreasing from 1.35, 1.26, 1.19, 1.11 to 1.08; while no declining trend was found in BMI-CHD relationship with the adjusted HRs of 1.15, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13 and 1.15, respectively. The interaction and mediation between LDLc and BMI on CHD risk were more pronounced at young-age groups. LDLc-CHD but not BMI-CHD association was dependent on sex, metabolic syndrome and lipid-lowering drugs use.
    Conclusions: There were differential age-specific associations of LDLc and BMI with the risk of developing CHD, calling for future efforts to discriminate the age-different benefits from lipids management or weight control on the primary prevention for CHD.

    Abstract Despite extensive research reveal rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to atherosclerosis (AS), common pathogenesis between these two diseases still needs to be explored. In current study, we explored the common pathogenesis between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and atherosclerosis (AS) by identifying 297 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) associated with both diseases. Through KEGG and GO functional analysis, we highlighted the correlation of these DEGs with crucial biological processes such as the vesicle transport, immune system process, signaling receptor binding, chemokine signaling and many others. Employing Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis, we elucidated the associations between DEGs, revealing three gene modules enriched in immune system process, vesicle, signaling receptor binding, Pertussis, and among others. Additionally, through CytoHubba analysis, we pinpointed 11 hub genes integral to intergrin-mediated signaling pathway, plasma membrane, phosphotyrosine binding, chemokine signaling pathway and so on. Further investigation via the TRRUST database identified two key Transcription Factors (TFs), SPI1 and RELA, closely linked with these hub genes, shedding light on their regulatory roles. Finally, leveraging the collective insights from hub genes and TFs, we proposed 10 potential drug candidates targeting the molecular mechanisms underlying RA and AS pathogenesis. Further investigation on xCell revealed that 14 types of cells were all different in both AS and RA. This study underscores the shared pathogenic mechanisms, pivotal genes, and potential therapeutic interventions bridging RA and AS, offering valuable insights for future research and clinical management strategies.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the predictive effect of preoperative and postoperative interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels on the duration of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute DeBakey Type I aortic dissection (I-AAD) after emergency surgery.
    Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 381 patients with I-AAD who underwent surgery in our hospital, between June 2018 and June 2022. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) occurred after surgery. The baseline data, biochemical indicators at admission, surgical data, biochemical indicators at postoperative 6 h, and the postoperative data of the two groups were recorded and analyzed.
    Results: The PMV group comprised 199 patients, and the non-PMV group 182. The postoperative in-hospital mortality was different between the two groups (11.1% vs. 3.3%, p = 0.004). The length of intensive care unit and hospitalization time in the PMV group were significantly longer than those in the non-PMV group. Multiple regression analysis showed postoperative IL-6 (post-IL-6) ≥67.1 pg/mL and summation of preoperative and postoperative IL-6 (total IL-6) ≥83.4 pg/mL were associated risk factors for PMV [odds ratio (OR) 3.259, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.922-5.524, p < 0.001], [(OR) 4.515, 95% CI 2.241-9.098, p < 0.001]. Furthermore, determined by the receiver operating characteristics(ROC) curve, the cut-off point was total IL-6 ≥83.4 pg/mL (area under curve(AUC) = 0.825). The sensitivity and specificity of predicting postoperative PMV of patients with I-AAD were 91.5% and 78.2%, respectively (95% CI 0.782-0.868, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: For predicting postoperative PMV in patients with I-AAD, post IL-6 ≥67.1 pg/mL is potentially valuable and summation of preoperative and postoperative IL-6 (total IL-6) ≥83.4 pg/mL has a more pronounced predictive value.

    Abstract Background: The hydration state of the body is getting more and more attention from researchers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between impaired hydration status and postoperative hospitalization death in patients with A AAD.
    Methods: From January 2019 to October 2021, the clinical data of 299 patients undergoing A AAD surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into normal hydration group, imminent dehydration group and current dehydration group according to the dehydration standard at admission. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to determine the independent risk factors for in-hospital death of patients with A AAD.
    Results: Postoperative in-hospital death in A AAD patients was significantly more common in the imminent and current dehydration groups (>295mmol/L) (26.7% vs 11.9%;
    Conclusion: The presence of high serum osmotic pressure on admission of A AAD patients can independently predict postoperative death, and the impaired body hydration status should be paid attention to.

    Abstract Objectives: It has been suggested that the time of day when cardiovascular surgery is performed may affect the surgery outcomes. This study investigated whether there was a difference in risk-adjusted mortality and morbidity outcomes between patients undergoing acute aortic dissection (AAD) during the day or the night.
    Methods: Consecutive patients who had undergone Stanford A AAD surgery were enrolled between 2016 and 2020. In the daytime group, surgery was performed between 08:00 and 20:00, and in the nighttime group between 20:00 and 8:00. The primary outcome was in-hospital overall mortality, and the secondary outcomes were overall mortality within a median follow-up time of 35.2 (17.0, 53.5) months and the occurrence of re-entry tears and major bleeding.
    Results: A total of 925 patients were enrolled. The primary outcome of in-hospital overall mortality did not differ significantly between patients who received daytime or nighttime surgery. Similarly, the secondary outcomes of overall mortality during the follow-up and incidence of re-entry tears and major bleeding did not differ significantly between the groups. Subgroup analysis was also performed according to the surgery type (modified triple-branched stent graft implantation or frozen elephant trunk implantation) and surgical approach (partial upper sternotomy or full median sternotomy) confirming that the time of surgery did not significantly influence the outcomes. Cox regression analysis showed that time from onset to admission (P = 0.036) and time from the onset to surgery (P = 0.045) were significant risk factors for increased mortality during follow-up.
    Conclusions: The time of day when thoracotomy was performed did not significantly affect the clinical outcome and is therefore not a consideration for the improvement of outcome in Stanford A AAD patients.
