Perioperative and postoperative care in cardiac and thoracic aortic surgeries carries a significant number of specific scenarios differing from other surgical specialties. Cardiac anesthesia is an independent sub-specialty in most developed countries. Generally, modern cardiac surgery tends to move towards less invasive procedures such as partial sternotomy, mini-thoracotomy, thoracoscopy, or hybrid procedures in cooperation with interventional cardiologists. This review article comments on the novel information within the last year. The topics of mini-invasive cardiac surgery, recent guidelines in cardiac perioperative care, novel drug studies, and application of fluids and blood products are discussed. A specific part is devoted to the complex management of pulmonary hypertension. The results of studies on mechanical heart support, heart transplantation, and postoperative and intensive care in cardiac surgery patients are also presented.

Keywords: cardiac anesthesia, mini­‑invasive, cardiac surgery, pulmonary hypertension, mechanical heart support, heart transplantation, postoperative care.
