Objective To explore clinical application and significance of coronary angiography （CAG） prior to heart valve replacement for patients with rheumatic valvular heart disease （RVHD）. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 313 RVHD patients who underwent heart valve replacement in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2002 to June 2012. All the patients received screening CAG before surgery. According to CAG results，313 patients were divided into two groups. In the coronary artery lesion （CAL） group，there were 29 patients including 17 male and 12 female patients with their age of 60.0±5.2 years. In the non-coronary artery lesion （non-CAL）group，there were 284 patients including 98 male and 186 female patients with their age of 57.0±5.4 years. Surgicaloutcomes were compared between the two groups. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to analyze risk factors of CAL for RVHD patients. Results CAG showed 29 patients with CAL，and the overall prevalence of CAL was 9.27%. In CAL group，11 patients underwent concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting with 2.2 grafts for each patient on the average. Postoperatively 1 patient （3.45%） died of low cardiac output syndrome （LCOS）. In non-CAL group，5 patients （1.76%） postoperatively died mainly because of LCOS，ventricular fibrillation，sudden cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. Cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross-clamp time of CAL group were significantly longer than those of non-CAL group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistical difference in postoperative mortality，incidence of LCOS，acute renal failure，respiratory failure，reexploration for bleeding，intraoperative blood loss，mechanical ventilation time or hospital stay between the two groups（P＞0.05）. There was no significant correlation between the types of valvular lesions and CAL. Age≥ 55 years （OR=5.534，P=0.005），male gender （OR=2.335，P=0.038） and diabetes mellitus （OR=4.265，P=0.006） were independent risk factors of CAL for RVHD patients undergoing heart valve replacement. Conclusion For RVHD patients with independent risk factors of CAL （age≥55 years，male gender and diabetes mellitus），CAG must beseriously considered before heart valve replacement. RVHD patients with CAL can obtain similarly satisfactory surgicaloutcomes of heart valve replacement as RVHD patients without CAL by appropriate surgical strategy and strengthened perio-perative management.
Abstract： Objective To summarize the methods and results of supra-annular aortic valve replacement（AVR） in patients with severely damaged aortic annulus. Methods Supra-annular AVR was performed in 5 patients between March 2008 and Dec. 2010 in Changhai Hospital, Second Military Medical University. There were 4 males and 1 female with their mean age of 46.3 years (ranging from 38 to 53 years). Non-specific infectious diseases were diagnosed in 4 patients who had severe paravalvular leakage after their first AVR operations (2 patients with Behcet’s disease and 2 patients with arteritis), and one patient had severe infectious endocarditis. All the patients had severely destroyed aortic annulus and could not undergo routine AVR. The prosthetic valves were fixed to the aortic sinus wall between the annulus and coronary arterial ostia, and the sutures passed through from the outside of aortic wall into the inside and prosthetic valve ring. Coronary artery bypass grafting was performed if the coronary ostium was involved. Results All patients recovered from the operations uneventfully, and were followed up from 6 months to 3 years. All patients were in New York Heart Association（NYHA） functional class Ⅰ or Ⅱ during the follow-up period, and paravalvalar leakage, pseudoaneurysm and aortic root aneurysm were not found by the examination of 3D computed tomographic angiography and echocardiography at 6 months（4 cases）, 1 year（2 cases）, and 3 years（1 case）, respectively . Conclusions Supra-annular AVR is an alternative surgical method for patients with severely damaged aortic annulus. The procedure is simple and effective to prevent paravalvular leakage and pseudoaneurysm formation.
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.

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.
ObjectiveTo investigate the perioperative results and safety of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCAB) treatment of anterior descending artery disease through a small left thoracic incision assisted by thoracoscopy. MethodsThe clinical data of 92 patients who received MIDCAB in our hospital from May 2014 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 72 (78.26%) males aged 42-78 (61.2±7.48) years, and 20 (21.74%) females aged 30-80 (61.30±12.26) years. The perioperative complications, blood product use, left heart function changes, ventilator use time, ICU stay, hospital stay and other indicators were analyzed. ResultsTwo (2.17%) patients were transferred to thoracotomy, 5 (5.43%) patients received blood products during the operation, 2 (2.17%) were subjected to secondary thoracotomy to stop bleeding, 4 (4.34%) had postoperative hypoxemia and 1 (1.08%) was reintubated. The ventilator use time was 3-227 (22.35±35.39) hours, the ICU stay was 16-777 (78.85±108.62) hours, and the postoperative hospital stay was 2-36 (8.86±6.05) days. One (1.08%) patient died in hospital. ConclusionMIDCAB for anterior descending artery disease has good perioperative results, especially for solitary anterior descending artery disease, which can reduce the use of blood products, and shorten the time of ventilator use after operation, ICU stay and hospital stay.
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.
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.
