ObjectiveTo retrospectively compare and analyze the effect of myocardial protection between histidinetryptophane-ketoglutarate (HTK) and 4:1 blood cardioplegia in patients with complex coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction. MethodsFrom January 2003 to July 2013, 2132 patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in our institution. Among them, 227 patients with complex coronary artery disease (left main or triple vessel disease) and left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤ 50%) were included in this study. According to the category of cardioplegia utilized in the operations, the patients were divided into two groups: a HTK group (85 males and 4 females, n=89) and a blood cardioplegia group (113 males and 25 females, n=138). The average age was 62.78±9.30 years in the HTK group and 62.74±9.07 years in the blood cardioplegia group. The effect of myocardial protection between two groups was compared. ResultsAccording to the pre-operational data of these two groups, there was no significant difference identified in terms of basic characteristics and risk factors, even though more female patients were found in the blood cardiophegia group and more patients with renal dysfunction were found in the HTK group. In addition, the patients in the HTK group had more distal anastomosis, longer cardiopulmonary time and cross clamping time than those in the blood cardiophegia group. Based on the results measured by those primary assessment criteria,there was no significant difference being found between these two groups. However, on those secondary assessment criteria the pulmonary pressure and inotropic support after reperfusion were significantly higher in the HTK group than its counterpart. ConclusionFor patients with complex coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction, HTK solution and blood cardioplegia provide similar effective myocardial protection. HTK doesn't significantly increase postoperative adverse cardiovascular events under the circumstance of longer ischemic time.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the "gold standard" for revascularization of left main diseased and/or complex multi-vessel diseased coronary artery disease. Post-CABG stroke is a relatively rare but catastrophic complication with a serious health and economic burden. In recent years, the further understanding of the concept of "panvascular disease", the implementation of the philosophy of "cardio-cerebral integrated treatment", and the improvement of related diagnostic and therapeutic techniques have provided new options for the recognition, prevention and cure of post-CABG stroke. Focusing on the key factor of carotid-cerebral artery disease, this review systematically scrutinizes the incidence, epidemiology, risk factors, mechanisms and prevention and treatment of post-CABG stroke. This review analyzes the association between post-CABG stroke and carotid-cerebral artery disease, summarizes the status of evidence-based prophylactic carotid-cerebral artery revascularization strategy, and prospects for future research directions.
ObjectiveTo explore the reoperation on aortic diseases in patients with previous aortic valve surgery due to rheumatic aortic valve disease, improve the understanding of aortic valve disease secondary to surgery of aortic valve. MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the data of twenty-seven patients with previous aortic valve replacement due to rheumatic aortic valve disease underwent aortic root or other aortic operation in Fu Wai Cardiovascular Hospital because of new aortic root or aortic diseases between August 2003 and May 2012. All the patients with new aortic diseases were diagnosed by cardiac ultrasound and aortic computed tomography. The new diseases included type A aortic dissection in 13 patients, ascending aortic aneurysm in 6 patients, and aortic root aneurysm in 8 patients. There were 20 males and 7 females with mean age of 50±10 years (ranged 28-69 years). Seven patients underwent aortic root replacement, 6 patients received ascending aorta and total aortic arch replacement combined with stented graft implantation into the descending aorta, 6 patients received aortic root and total aortic arch replacement combined with stented graft, and 8 patients received the ascending aorta replacement. All patients were followed by clinic interview or telephone. ResultsThe interval time for reoperation was 6-110 (57±32) months. No patient died within 30 days after operation. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 50-274 (143±65) minutes; hospital stay was 13-27 (19±11) days. Four patients had renal insufficiency after operation and all were cured by hemofiltration before departure. Three patients had neurological complications of transient brain dysfunction, and there was no postoperative spinal cord deficits occurred. Four patients had pulmonary complication. The mean follow up time were 4-118 (43.5±32.2) months. Five patients were missed and 4 cases died during the follow-up. The follow-up rate was 81.5%. Three-year survival rate was 85.1%. There was no case received third operation due to aortic disease during the follow-up. ConclusionWe should pay more attention to patients with previous surgery due to rheumatic aortic valve disease, especially to patients combined with enlarged ascending aorta, so that aortic adverse events following to aortic valve operation can be reduced or be avoided in long term.
Objective To investigate the role of red cell distribution width ( RDW) in coronary artery diseases patients complicated with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) . Methods 134 coronary artery diseases patients who had at least one-vessel disease confirmed by coronary angiography were investigated by polysomnography for OSAHS. The patients were classified according to theapneahypopnea index(AHI) . The level of RDW, triglyceride, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, hemoglobin, white blood cells and hematocritwere measured. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to predict the moderate-severe OSAHS in coronary artery diseases patients according to RDW value. Results When 134 coronary artery diseases patients were classified into a control group and an OSAHS group according to the AHI, the level of RDW in two groups was not significantly different [ ( 13.44 ±1.30) % vs. ( 13.12 ±0.92) % , P gt; 0.05] . When 134 coronary artery diseases patients were classified into a control and mild OSAHS group and a moderate-severe OSAHS group according to the AHI, the level of RDW in two groups was significantly different [ ( 13.07 ±0.94) vs. ( 14.02 ±1.41) % , P lt; 0.05] . And no difference was found in hemoglobin, triglyceride, cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, platelet, and hematocrit between two groups. The ROC curve analysis revealed that the area under ROC curve was 0.748 ( 0.523-0.972) , and the best cut-off for moderate-severe OSAHS was 13.95% with sensitivity of 71.43% and specificity of 82.98% . Conclusion RDW may be a useful and simple tool to predict moderate-severe OSAHS in coronary artery diseases patients.
Objective To evaluate the outcome and explore the mechanism of coronary vein bypass grafting （CVBG） performed by anastomosing the right internal mammary artery with the middle cardiac vein via off-pump surgery. Methods Twelve Chinese experimental miniswines （either male or female, age from 7 to 10 months, body weight 40±5 kg） with severely diffuse stenosis in the right coronary artery were randomly divided into control group and experiment group with 6 miniswines in each group, using a random number table method. CVBG was performed in the experiment group and sham surgery was performed in the control group. To assess cardiac function, graft flow, graft patency and micro-circulation reperfusion of ischemia myocardium, following measurements were conducted. Eight weeks after right coronary endarterectomy, transthoracic echocardiography was performed for both groups. Coronary angiography, graft flow and echocardiography were performed or measured 6 hours and 3 months after CVBG or sham surgery. Measurement of myocardial blood flow with non-radioactive colored microspheres was also conducted 3 months after surgery for two groups. Results There was no statistical difference in cardiac function 8 weeks after right coronary endarterectomy between the two groups. There were significant improvements in cardiac systolic and diastolic function （ejection fraction 3 months after operation: 52%±6% vs. 44%±5%, t=-2.500, P=0.031） in the experiment group after CVBG compared with the control group. Graft flow of the experiment group 6 hours and 3 months after CVBG were 44.50±5.86 ml/min and 43.33±5.01ml/min respectively （P=0.718）, and pulsatility index （PI） was 0.73±0.14 and 0.80±0.14 respectively（P=0.858）. Internal mammary artery grafts and the anastomoses were all patent without stenosis, documented by coronary artery angiography for the experiment group 6 hours and 3 months after CVBG. Myocardial flow in all aspects especially in the subendocardial layer, estimated by non-radioactive colored microsphere injection, was significantly higher in the experiment group after CVBG than that of the control group, transmural flow was 0.33±0.05ml/（g • min） vs. 0.19±0.03 ml/（g • min） （P＜0.05）. Conclusion Ischemic conditions of the myocardium can be relieved by CVBG using internal mammary artery in a short-term to medium-term period. The mechanism may be due to improvement of the myocardial micro-circulation.

Methods A total of 174 patients with coranaria disease from July 2003 to July 2009 were randomly divided into a control group and an observed group. The patients underwent the intervention treatment through femoral arteries in control group and through radial arteries in observed group. The duration and achievement rate of paracentesis and operation, and the incidence rate of complications were observed and the results in the two groups were compared. Results There were no differences in the duration and achievement rate of paracentesis and operation, and the achievement rate of operation between the control and observed groups. Compared with the control group, the incidence rate of complications and achievement rate of paracentesis were lower in observed group. Conclusion Intervention treatment through radial arteries on coranaria disease could reduce the post-operative complications with reliable therapeutic effect.
Objective To investigate the correlation between glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and severity of coronary artery lesions in young men with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Total 278 young men with AMI less than 45 years old were retrospectively studied, and all of them were admitted to hospital from January 2009 to December 2011, and had undergone coronary angiography. According to the results of coronary angiography, the patients were divided into three groups based on the number of artery lesions: the single group (156 cases), the double group (64 cases) and the triple group (58 cases). The relationship between the severity of coronary artery lesions and the following factors were observed: HbA1c, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), hemoglobin (Hb), serum uric acid (UA), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), body mass index (BMI), smoking history, drinking history and family history of early coronary artery disease. Results a) HbA1c levels were gradually raised in all the three groups, but the single group (6.39±1.67%) was significantly lower than the double group (6.91±1.63%) and the triple group (7.41±2.12%), with significant differences (Plt;0.05); the HbA1c level of the single group was significantly lower than the triple group in both the ST-segment elevation AMI (6.42±1.68% vs. 7.17±1.86%, Plt;0.05) and the non-ST-segment AMI (5.57±0.37% vs. 8.56±2.83%, Plt;0.05); the HbA1c level of the single group was significantly lower than the triple group in patients with diabetes millitus (8.31±1.83% vs. 8.59±2.02%, Plt;0.05) and in patients without diabetes millitus (5.56±0.33% vs. 5.74±0.37%, Plt;0.05); b) There were significant differences in SBP, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and drinking history between the single group and the other two groups (all Plt;0.05), and there were significant differences in DBP and TG between the single group and the double group (all Plt;0.05); and c) The results of logistic regression analysis showed that, LDL-C (OR=1.790), HbA1c (OR=1.287) and SBP (OR=1.042) were the independent risk factors (all Plt;0.05) for multiple lesions in coronary arteries of young men with AMI. Conclusion Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c is an independent risk factor for multiple lesions in coronary arteries of young men with AMI.
