Previous percutaneous coronary intervention before coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with diabetes mellitus and triple-vessel disease independently increases the risk for in-hospital mortality and major adverse cardiac events.

These first 1-year follow-up data suggest the feasibility of this new concept of sutureless aortic valve implantation. However, severe aortic insufficiency at 8 months and paravalvular leakage at 1-year follow-up should prompt further procedural and device enhancements.

This study suggests that universal antifungal prophylaxes reduces incidence of IAI after LTX. However, included studies are limited by small sample size, single-center structure without randomization, mixed population (including heart/heart-lung transplant), and heterogeneity due to variations in immunosuppression, type, and duration of AFP. Therefore, there is a clear need for an adequately powered RCT.
