ObjectiveTo investigate the perioperative hemodynamic changes of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) patients monitored by pulse recorded analysis method (MostCare/PRAM devices) and its relationship with the prognosis.MethodsA total of 89 patients who underwent OPCABG from October 2016 to January 2017 in Beiijng Anzhen Hospital were included, including 53 males and 36 females aged 60.50±8.40 years. The hemodynamic changes were recorded. The patients were divided into two groups (a major adverse cardiovascular events group and a stable group) according to whether major adverse cardiovascular events occurred or not. The difference of hemodynamic changes between the two groups was analysed.ResultsThe mean percentage increases of stroke volume (SV) in the passive leg raising (PLR) test before opening chest and after chest closure were 23.00%±3.20% and 29.40%±3.70%, respectively. Hemodynamic data were analysed seven times, namely, anaesthesia, opening chest, heparin administration, coronary artery bypass grafting, protamine administration, thoracic closure and after operation. SV was significantly decreased during above periods, while systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) was significantlyincreased. Cardiac circle efficiency (CCE) and maximum pressure gradient (dP/dT) were decreased after anaesthesia, and decreased to the lowest value during the procedure of bypass grafting, and then they began to increase gradually after the manipulation of bypass grafting was finished. Stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV) were slightly decreased during anaesthesia, then increased significantly through the whole surgery. Major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 9 patients and 4 of them died. The basic mean values of SVRI, SVV and PPV of patients in the major adverse cardiovascular events group before opening chest were significantly higher than those of patients in the stable group. There was no significant difference in the mean values of CCE, dP/dT or SV between the two groups. There was no significant correlation between the prognosis and the mean values of SVRI, SVV, PPV, CCE, dP/dT or SV.ConclusionThe hemodynamic indexes are not stable, thus, it is necessary to monitor the perioperative hemodynamic changes of OPCABG patients timely by MostCare/PRAM device and adjust treatment measures accordingly.
Objective To investigate the risk factors of perioperative red blood cells transfusion for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 534 patients underwent CABG in our hospital from January to March 2014 year. Those patients were divided into two groups:an on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting group (on-pump group) and an off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting group (off-pump group). There were 185 males and 54 females with a mean age of 59.1±9.4 years in the on-pump group. There were 233 males and 62 females with a mean age of 60.3±8.5 years in the off-pump group. Preoperative data, the relative parameters of extracorporeal circulation, the quantity of red blood cells transfusion of those two groups were compared. risk factors associated with red blood cells transfusion were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results The risk factors of perioperative red blood cells transfusion were age (OR=1.04, 95% CI 1.02-1.07, P=0.001) , weight (OR=0.95, 95% CI 0.93-0.97, P<0.001) , smoking (OR=0.61, 95% CI 0.39-0.94, P=0.027) , preoperative level of HCT (OR=0.90, 95% CI 0.85-0.96, P=0.001) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) (OR=4.90, 95% CI 3.11-7.71, P<0.001) . During CPB, the nadir hemoglobin (nHb) (OR=0.63, 95% CI 0.47-0.84, P=0.002) was the only independent risk factor of red blood cell transfusion. Conclusions Age, weight, non-smoking, preoperative level of HCT, CPB are the risk factors for patients underwent CABG perioperatively and the lowest level of Hb in CPB is an independent risk factor of perioperative red blood cells transfusion.
Objective To summarize the experience of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG） after failed percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods From January 1998 to December 2002, 9 patients underwent emergency CABG after failed percutaneous coronary intervention. The indications of emergency CABG were coronary artery dissection （5 cases）or perforation （2 cases） and acute arterial occlusion （2 cases）. The time averaged 2 hours from onset of ischernia to revascularization. The CABG was performed under off-pump bypass in 3 cases and under CPB in 6 cases. The mean graft number was 3. Results There were no hospital death. The mean follow-up was 17 months. No death and angina occurred. The function of New York Heart Association class Ⅰ-Ⅱ were in 8 patients, class Ⅲ in 1 patient. Conclusion Emergency CABG is an effective management for failed percutaneous coronary intervention if the indication is right.
Objective To investigate the risk factors of acute kidney injury（AKI）after onpump coronary artery bypass grafting(on-pump CABG) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (off-pump CABG) in order to provide superior renal protective measure after operation. Methods The clinical data of 849 consecutive patients undergone coronary artery bypass grafting（CABG） in a single institution between January 1990 and August 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. A simplex module and a multivariate logistic regression model were constructed to identify risk factors for the development of AKI. Results AKI were occurred in 61 patients （11.8%，61/518） undergone off-pump CABG and 63 patients （19.0%，63/331） undergone onpump CABG. Peak of serum creatinine (Scr) after operation arrived at the 12th hour and 24th hour in patients undergone off-pump CABG and patients undergone on-pump CABG respectively. The rapidly recovering period of Scr in patients undergone off-pump CABG and on-pump CABG were from the 24th hour to the 48th hour and from the 48th hour to the 72th hour respectively.The results of the multivariate forward stepwise logistic regression analysis found that risk factors for the development of postoperative AKI following isolated CABG were associated with heavy body mass index（OR=1.190，1.179）, emergent procedure（OR=2.737，3.678）, diabetes（OR=1.705，2.042）, peripheral vascular disease（OR=2.002，2.559）,ejection fraction≤30%（OR=2.267，4.606）, and New York Heart Association(NYHA) class Ⅲ and Ⅳ（OR=1.861，1.957） were risk factors for the development of postoperative AKI following offpump and on-pump CABG; pulse pressure≥60mmHg and triplevessel disease were risk factors for the development of postoperative AKI following off-pump CABG. But perioperative and postoperative intra aortic balloon pumping (IABP) could make protective effect on kidney for on-pump CABG （OR=0.146）which could lessen development of AKI. Conclusions It is critical period for AKI that renal protection strategies should be performed from general anesthesia until postoperative 48 hours (off-pump CABG) and 72 hours (on-pump CABG). AKI might be the most important stage in which a positive test should increase the physician’s awareness of the presence of risk for renal injury and then preventive or therapeutic intervention could be performed when the situation still is reversible.
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.

Abstract: Though the use of the radial artery (RA) as a coronary artery bypass graft has been accepted world widely in myocardial revascularization, there has been no uniformity regarding harvest techniques, assessment of the adequacy of hand collateral circulation, antispasm rotocols, selection of target vessels, and the site of proximal anastomosis. It is widely believed and practiced that the RA should be harvested as a pedicle graft and preferably be used to bypass critically stenosed (gt;70% stenosis) coronary arteries. It is used either as a free graft with proximal anastomosis to the ascending aorta or as a composite arterial graft along with the left or right internal thoracic artery. The patency of RA grafts depends on the severity of the target coronary artery stenosis and target artery location rather than its use as an aortocoronary conduit or composite graft. Though lacking of evidences, most surgeons use antispasm therapy for RA conduits. There are advantages in using RA as an alternative for right internal mammary artery in total artery coronary revascularization.
