    Abstract This is a case of a 76-year-old male with an initial presentation consistent with idiopathic pericarditis. He presented repeatedly with recurrent pericardial effusions and intrapericardial thrombi of unknown etiology. Surgical evacuation of the thrombi was performed twice, and the second surgery demonstrated a cardiac tumour. Cardiac MRI and pathology were consistent with angiosarcoma. In cases of recurrent pericardial effusions and thrombi, we recommend a high index of suspicion for cardiac tumours. Further, we recommend early consideration of cardiac MRI or PET and early referral to imaging specialists and cardiac surgeons with experience in cardiac tumours.

    Abstract Purpose of review: In this review, we discuss some of the observational studies that examined the impact of left atrial appendage occlusion on stroke, the Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Study (LAAOS) III research program that provided definitive evidence for the benefit of surgical left atrial appendage occlusion on ischemic stroke, and high priority studies in the field that should be pursued by the surgical community.
    Recent findings: Atrial fibrillation is common in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Oral anticoagulants are effective at preventing strokes related to atrial fibrillation; they have been the standard of care for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation for decades. Most strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation originate from the left atrial appendage. LAAOS III, a large randomized controlled trial, has recently demonstrated that concomitant left atrial appendage occlusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery for another indication reduces the risk of stroke or systemic embolism on top of oral anticoagulation. Surgical left atrial appendage occlusion reduces the risk of ischemic stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation and a CHA

    Abstract Background: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is an important adverse drug reaction that can occur postcardiac surgery. Preoperative exposure to unfractionated heparin (UFH) is common, raising the issue of how frequently cardiac surgery-associated HIT occurs after immunizing preoperative exposure to heparin.
    Objective: To determine the frequency and clinical picture of HIT occurring within 4 days of cardiac surgery (early presentation) versus later presentations (typical, delayed).
    Methods: We identified patients with laboratory-confirmed HIT following cardiac surgery over 30 years in a single cardiac surgery center. Three different clinical presentations of HIT were identified: typical (HIT-related platelet count fall beginning between postoperative days [PODs] 5-10), delayed (patients with falls after POD10 or who presented following hospital discharge), and early (established before POD5, including during cardiac surgery [acute intraoperative HIT]).
    Results: Of 129 patients identified with HIT complicating cardiac surgery, 100 had typical and 16 had delayed presentation of HIT; only 13 patients (10.1%) presented with early HIT, all of whom had received exposure to UFH during the 10 days before cardiac surgery. No patient was identified in whom remote preoperative UFH exposure was implicated in explaining early HIT. Notably, five patients appeared to have had acute intraoperative HIT, without immediate adverse consequences.
    Conclusions: Approximately 90% of patients with HIT after cardiac surgery appear to develop this complication due to immunization triggered by cardiac surgery; however, in approximately 10% of patients, early presentation during the first four PODs (or intraoperatively) can be explained by recent immunizing exposure to heparin.
