The pathogenesis of HTN in this setting is multifactorial, involving mechanisms such as endothelial dysfunction, nitric oxide (NO) suppression, sympathetic nervous system activation, and vascular remodeling. Additional factors, including paraneoplastic syndromes, poorly controlled pain, mood disturbances, and overlapping cardiovascular risk factors like obesity and diabetes, further contribute to the complexity of diagnosis and management. Despite its prevalence and clinical implications, cancer therapy-induced HTN is often addressed using general population guidelines, with limited oncology-specific protocols available. Accurate blood pressure measurement and individualized treatment plans are critical to optimize outcomes and avoid interruptions to cancer therapy. Antihypertensive agents such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), and calcium channel blockers have shown efficacy in both blood pressure control and, in some cases, oncologic outcomes.

These procedures present unique challenges for the anesthesiologist, necessitating a tailored perioperative strategy. This review explores the anesthetic management of MI-CABG, focusing on preoperative assessment, intraoperative techniques, and postoperative care. Preoperative evaluation emphasizes cardiac, respiratory, and vascular considerations, including suitability for one-lung ventilation (OLV) and the impact of comorbidities.

Postoperative strategies prioritize multimodal analgesia, early extubation, and rapid mobilization to leverage the benefits of a minimally invasive approach. By integrating surgical and anesthetic perspectives, this review underscores the anesthesiologist's pivotal role in navigating the physiological demands of MI-CABG.

Up to one-third of ACHD experience anxiety or depression, and half develop a mental illness during their lifetime.

In a nationwide, online cross-sectional survey conducted in Q1 2024, 1486 ACHD aged 18 to 85 (M<sub>age</sub> = 36.84 years; 60.8% female) registered in the German National Register for Congenital Heart Defects (NRCHD) completed self-report questionnaires on sociodemographics, illness identity (Illness Identity Questionnaire), mental well-being, and utilisation of PST. CHD diagnoses were determined in conformity with the International Pediatric and Congenital Cardiac Code (IPCCC) and CHD was classified according to Warnes et al. (simple/moderate/complex). Analyses included chi-square tests, t-tests, and binary logistic regression. Overall, 32.8% of participants reported current and/or previous PST (women 37.5%, men 25.3%).

Several imaging modalities visualize the retina, including color fundus photography (CFP), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA), which visualize the retinal surface, the individual retinal layers, and the microvasculature within those layers, respectively.
