Objective To analyze the mean flow in left internal m am mary artery ( L IMA) graft and the influencing factors in off- pump coronary artery bypass grafting ( OPCAB) in the Chinese. Methods One hundred and eighty patients with OPCAB were studied.Transit- tim e flowmeter( TTFM) was utilized to measure and record the L IMA’s blood flow wave,pulsatility index( PI) ,value of mean flow,systolic and diastolic peak flow,vascular resistance,insufficiency ratio and mean blood pressure and to analyze the relationship between mean flow of LIMA and other factors. Results Total mean flow calculated from that of all patients was2 8.19± 2 .89ml/ min( 6 - 178 ml/ m in) .Majority m ean value ( 6 4 .4 % ) was in the range of 10 - 30 ml/ min.Statistics showed that mean flow was significantly related to systolic and diastolic peak flow and vascular resistance rather than the other factors( r=0 .75 , 0 .94 ,- 0 .95 ) . Conclusions For the Chinese,over 10 ml/ min mean flow of L IMA graftis acceptable and ov...更多er 2 2 ml/ min is satisfactory.The diastolic peak flow and vascular resistance are two most important factors in influencing mean flow.
Objective To compare the clinical early results of on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting re-operations (re-CABG)and introduce our experience. Methods From April 2000 to June 2006, 21 cases with coronary artery diease of re-CABG were performed in this hospital. 10 patients received off-pump CABG (off-pump group), and 11 underwent CABG re-operations with cardiopulmonary bypass CABG(on-pump group). There were no significant difference regarding gender, age, weight, diabetes, hypertension, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between two groups before operation. On-pump CABG procedures were performed on hypothermia cardiopulmonary bypass. Standard methods were used to finish off-pump CABG. Flow meters were utilized to measure the flow of grafts in both groups. Results No one in off-pump group needed to conver to on-pump CABG. There was no operative or late mortality. The operation time, respiratory support time, the volume of chest tube drainage, blood transfusion and postoperative hospital stay were less in off-pump group than those in on-pump group after operation. Early death occurred in 1 patient in on-pump group. The number of distal anastomosis were more in on-pump group than that in off-pump group. Conclusions Both off-pump CABG and on-pump CABG can be applied to CABG re-operations and achieved similar completeness of revascularization, similar early surgical results.
Coronary artery bypass grafting has made great progress in recent years. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （off-pump） can escape from many complications resulting from cardiopulmonary bypass which powered the interest of more and more surgeons, but it is more technically demanding. Conventional coronary artery bypass grafting aided by cardiopulmonary bypass （on-pump） can provide with good condition for anastomosis, and is still applied widely. The comparation of the two surgical techniques were reviewed, including graft patency, mortality, inflammatory response, influence on coagulation and anticoagulation, injury to important organs, hospital length of stay and cost, technical convertion, et al.
Objective To explore the factors affecting the operation of coronary artery bypass grafting with heart beating and improve the effect of the operation. MethodsFrom January 2012 to June 2016, 898 patients with coronary heart disease who received cardiovascular surgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jilin University were analyzed retrospectively. All patients only underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with beating heart. Among them, 797 patients underwent the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (an OPCABG group, 592 males and 205 females, with an average age of 60.5±8.4 years); another 101 patients received on-pump beating heart coronary artery bypass grafting (an OPBH group, 77 males and 24 females, with an average age of 61.5±8.2 years). ResultsThe average number of grafts in the OPCABG group was 3.36±0.74, and in the OPBH group was 3.71±0.69 (P<0.05). The postoperative ventilation time (10.8±9.5 h vs. 20.6±12.3 h), ICU stay (28.8±15.5 h vs. 37.4±30.8 h), hospital stay (10.9±4.8 d vs. 14.8±8.6 d), mortality (1.1% vs. 3.0%), the utilization rate of intra-aortic balloon pump (2.4% vs. 8.9%) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (0.5% vs. 5.0%) were significantly different between the OPCABG group and OPBH group (all P<0.05). Twelve patients died after surgery, and the total bloodless operation ratio was 91.3%. ConclusionThe results show that most patients can achieve good results with the help of apical fixation and myocardial fixator, improved surgical techniques and methods, good anesthesia management as well as flexible and accurate use of vasoactive drugs. But extracorporeal circulation is necessary in the patients with large left ventricle, low ejection fraction and hemodynamic instability after intraoperatively moving the heart.
Objective To identify clinical significance of high level cardiac troponin I （cTnI） in the early postoperative period of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB） and its predictive value for early clinical outcomes. Methods A total of 240 patients undergoing isolated OPCAB in the Department of Cardiac Surgery of People’s Hospitalof Peking University during 2011 were recruited in the study. There were 164 males and 76 females with their age of 36-83（62.07±8.24） years. Serum cTnI levels in 4-6 hours and 12-18 hours after OPCAB were monitored. Influential factors and its predictive value for early clinical outcomes of OPCAB were analyzed. Binary logistic regression analysis，correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve were performed for statistic analysis. Results Serum cTnI level in 4-6 hours after OPCAB （TNI0） was 1.28±0.40 ng/ml，and serum cTnI level in 12-18 hours after OPCAB （TNI1） was 3.60±0.74 ng/ml. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that graft number was significant influential factors of TNI0 （P=0.000） and TNI1 （P=0.010）. Serum cTnI level in 12-18 hours after OPCAB was significantly correlated with early clinicaloutcomes of OPCAB （P＜0.05），but the correlational relationship was not b （correlation coefficient＜0.5）. ROC curveanalysis showed that serum cTnI level in 12-18 h after OPCAB had higher predictive value for patient prognosis （P＜0.05）. Serum cTnI level higher than 1.49 ng/ml in 12-18 h after OPCAB had good predictive value for postoperative ECG changes，use of intra-aortic balloon pump （IABP） and in-hospital mortality. Conclusions Serum cTnI level increases in varying degrees in the early postoperative period of OPCAB. Together with ECG changes，serum cTnI level can be used for early diagnosis of perioperative myocardial infarction with significant predictive value for early clinical outcomes of OPCAB.
Abstract: Objective To invest igate the effect of p ro staglandin E1 (PGE1 ) during off-pump co ronary artery bypass graft ing (O PCAB ). Methods F rom O ct. 2005 to Dec. 2005, 40 consecut ive pat ients w ho underw ent O PCAB w ere random ly divided into two group s. The cont ro l group received convent ional t reatment w h ile the PGE1 group received cont inuous int ra2vena PGE1 infusion ( 5220 ngouml;k g?m in) fo r 24248 hours. The perioperat ivehemodynam ic indexes, including cardiac index (C I) , system ic vascular resistance ( SVR ) , pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR ) , and hematocrit (HCT ) , coagulation index (C I) , partial pressure of oxygen in artery (PaO 2 ) ,serum creat inine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN ) were measured and compared.

Coagulation index decreased significantly on the operation day, but then increased in both groups on the next day after operation, with the increase in the PGE1 group significantly less than control group (P lt;0. 05). Postoperative serum Cr and BUN increased significantly in the both groups, especially in the control group (P lt; 0105). Conclus ion PGE1 has potential beneficial effect on patients undergoing OPCAB.
ObjectiveTo explore the difference between minimally invasive direct and conventional thoracotomy off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). MethodsWe selected 276 patients underwent off-pump CABG surgery in our hospital from June 2005 through June 2014. There were 55 patients with minimally invasive off-pump CABG surgery and 221 patients conventional thoracotomy surgery. By using the method of peopensity score matching, we selected 55 conventional thoracotomy patients as a control group in our study. There were 41 males and 14 females at age of 60.8±10.5 years with minimally invasive off-pump CABG surgery, 44 males and 11 females at age of 60.6±12.5 years with conventional thoracotomy. ResultsThere was no statistical difference in surgery time, stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) time between conventional thoracotomy surgery and minimally invasive off-pump CABG. Compared with conventional thoracotomy surgery, minimally invasive off-pump CABG patients had statistical improvement in post-operative hospital stay time (7.3±3.1 d vs. 8.8±3.9 d, P=0.01), postoperative drainage (684(0-2 790)ml vs. 739(50-4 460)ml, P=0.03), perioperative blood transfusion (1.91(0-20)U vs. 6.62(0-20)U, P=0.00), surgery incision length (5.6±1.1 cm vs. 26.3±4.5 cm, P=0.00). ConclusionOverlooking the learning curve, minimally invasive direct off-pump CABG surgery has more advantages than conventional thoracotomy surgery. It is a safe and effective procedure.
Abstract： Objective?To summarize our experience of redo coronary artery bypass grafting（CABG） and explore appropriate redo CABG strategy for Chinese patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 27 patients who underwent redo CABG in People’s Hospital of Peking University from January 2000 to January 2010. There were 15 male patients and 12 female patients with their age of 41-84 （63±8） years. The mean time between the first CABG and the redo CABG was 45 （4-168） months. Preoperatively all the patients had unstable angina pectoris. Twenty-one patients were in New York Heart Association （NYHA） functional classⅠ-Ⅱ， and 6 patients were in NYHA functional classⅢ-Ⅳ. Preoperatively， their left ventricular end-diastolic dimension （LVEDD） was 41-69 （51.0±0.7） mm， and their left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） was 32%-78% （58%±12%）. At the time of redo CABG for the 27 patients， there were 6 new coronary artery lesions， 7 left internal mammary artery （LIMA） lesions， 3 radial artery lesions （including 1 proximal anastomosis lesion alone） and 49 saphenous vein graft （SVG） lesions （including 3 proximal lesions alone and 3 distal lesions alone）.?Results?The surgical approach of redo CABG included median sternotomy in 18 patients， left lateral thoracotomy in 8 patients， upper midline abdomen and subxiphoid incision in 1 patient. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB） surgery was performed in 25 patients， but intra-operatively 2 patients underwent conversion to CABG under cardiopulmonary bypass. A total of 65 distal anastomoses and 41 proximal anastomoses were performed during redo CABG. A total of 10 LIMA， 3 right internal mammary artery (RIMA)， 16 left radial artery， 2 right radial artery and 17 SVG were used in redo CABG . There were 1-4 （2.4±0.8） distal anastomoses for each patients. The operation time was 170-530 （304±86）min. Postoperative transfusion was 0-10 （4.3±3.5） U packed red blood cells and 0-1 600 (685±549) ml fresh frozen plasma for each patient. Postoperative mechanical ventilation time was 6-156 （24±32） h and postoperative hospital stay was 7-35 （14±6） d . There was no in-hospital death. All the patients were discharged without any angina symptoms. A total of 26 patients were followed up and 1 patient was lost with the mean follow-up time of 80 （13-133） months. During follow-up， 16 patients were alive without angina symptoms， 4 patients died， and 6 patients had recurrent angina symptoms or heart failure. Conclusions OPCAB is an effective surgical strategy of redo CABG， but cardiopulmonary bypass should also be prepared. Arterial graft should be use as long as possible in redo CABG and the surgical strategy should be individualized.
Objective To assess the use of arterial revascularization and to compare the early outcomes with traditional coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods From January 1999 to January 2005, 123 patients (114 male, 9 females; age 52.2±10.1 years) underwent coronary artery surgery alone with disease of more than one coronary artery were considered for complete arterial revascularization (artery revascularization group). Internal mammary artery and radial artery was considered for artery grafts. At same period 115 patients (102 males, 13 females; age 60.3±9.1 years) underwent traditional revascularization using left internal mammary artery and veins (traditional group). The purpose was to compare the operative results between two groups. Results The patients in artery revascularization group were younger than that in traditional group, but there were more patients with three vessels disease in traditional group(54.5% vs. 86.1%, P=0.001). Off-pump CABG was choosed for more patients in artery revascularization group (26.0% vs. 57.4%, P=0.001). Patients in this group need more operative time if on-pump technique was used. The number of grafts were less in this group (2.6±0.7 vs. 3.4±0.9, P=0.001).There was no significant difference in hospital mortality and morbidity between two groups. Conclusion Proper patients using artery grafts appear to be safe in terms of in hospital mortality and morbidity.
Objective To analyse the characteristic of hemodynamic changes during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB）. Methods One hundred consecutive patients received OPCAB and the hemodynamic changes were monitored during the grafts was anastomosed. They were anastomosis of the left internal mammary artery （LIMA） to left anterior descending （LAD） in 97 patients, the anastomosis of saphenous vein （SV） or radial artery（RA） to right coronary artery （RCA） including posterior descending artery （PDA） and posterior left branch （PLB） in 84 patients, to left circumflex coronary artery （LCX） in 50 patients, to optuse marginal artery（OM） in 27 patients, to diagonal artery （DG） in 25 patients. The grafts number in each patient was 3. 1±0. 7. Results Hemodynamics changed when LAD and DG were anastomosed with significantly increase of heart rate （HR）, significantly decrease of mean arterial pressure （MAP） and left ventricular stroke work index （LVSWI, P〈0.05）. Hemodynamics changed when LCX,PDA,PLB,OM were anastomosed with significantly increase of HR and center veinous pressure （CVP, P 〈 0. 05）, significantly decrease of MAP, cardiac index （CI）, stroke index （SI）, right ventricular ejection fraction （RVEF）, right ventricular end-diastolic volume （RVEDV）, LVSWI and right ventricular stroke work index （RVSWI,P〈0.05）. Hemodynamics tended to be stable and CI improved at the end of operation. Conclusion There are no or little hemodynamic changes during the LAD and DG were anastomosed in OPCAB, while hemodynamics changed significantly during LCX, PDA, PLB and OM were anastomosed. Hemodynamics become stable and CI improves after operation.
