Objective\ To analyze the experiences of emergent or urgent coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) for patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods\ From May, 1996 through December, 1999, 9 patients with AMI underwent emergent CABG including eight males and one female, with mean age 61 years, and year range 44 70. The localization of the AMI was anterior in 4 and inferior in 5. The interval between the onset of AMI and CABG was within 24 hours in 7 cases, 10 days in 1 case and 14 days in 1 case....
We reported a 65-year-old female who was admitted to our institute with "recurrent subxiphoid pain accompanied by dyspnea for more than 10 days". Electrocardiogram examination suggested acute extensive anterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography suggested ventricular septal rupture. The patient was planned for the repair of ventricular septal rupture with cardiopulmonary bypass. The formation of left ventricular aneurysm was diagnosed by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). The surgeon decided to abdopt the modified incision of left ventricular approach guided by TEE, which greatly improved the prognosis of the patient. The surgery duration was 197 min, aortic cross-clamping time was 56 min, cardiopulmonary bypass time was 69 min, and the patient was safely admitted to ICU after the surgery. Extubation was performed on the first day postoperatively, and the intra-aortic balloon pump support was retreated on the second day postoperatively. Postoperative echocardiography showed that no obvious residual shunt was observed after ventricular septal repairment and ventricular aneurysm resection. The patient was discharged on the 12th day after the surgery. Additionally, the mental condition was good and daily activities were not limited within 6 months postoperatively.
Objective To detect the bile acid profile in serum based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and construct a combined biomarker diagnostic model for differentiating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) from unstable angina (UA). Methods A total of 180 patients with acute coronary syndrome who visited Huludao Central Hospital between August 2023 and February 2024 were randomly selected, and there were 117 patients with UA and 63 patients with AMI. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, 15 bile acid subtypes in serum were detected. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis was used to compare the serum bile acid metabolic profiles of the subjects. Differences in metabolites were screened based on a significance level of P<0.05 and variable importance in projection (VIP)>1. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to construct a diagnostic model for differentiating AMI from UA, and the diagnostic performance of the model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and other statistical methods. Results The differential bile acid biomarkers in the serum of UA and AMI patients included glycodeoxycholic acid, glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA), deoxycholic acid (DCA), glycocholic acid, and aurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA) (P<0.05, VIP>1). A binary logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that three bile acid biomarkers (GCDCA, DCA, and TDCA) and three common biochemical indicators (aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, and total bile acid) were factors differentiating AMI from UA (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the model was 0.986 [95% confidence interval (0.973, 0.999), P<0.001], demonstrating a good diagnostic performance. Conclusions GCDCA, DCA, and TDCA can serve as potential biomarkers for distinguishing AMI from UA. The model combining these three bile acids with aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, and total bile acid can effectively identify AMI.
Objective To summarize the efficacy and clinical experiences of emergent coronary artery bypass grafting (E-CABG) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to discuss the operative opportunity and procedures. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 21 patients with AMI undergoing E-CABG in Sun Yatsen Cardiovascular Disease Hospital between June 1999 and December 2009. Among the patients, there were 14 males and 7 females with their age ranged from 24 to 81 years (63.9±12.4 years). Six patients were operated within 6 hours after the onset of AMI, 7 patients were operated from 6 hours to 3 days after the onset of AMI, and 8 patients were operated from 3 days to 30 days after the onset of AMI. Eight patients had the cardiogenic shock after AMI, one had rupture of ventricular septum and cardiogenic shock, two had rupture of coronary artery after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, eight had unstable angina and frequent ventricular arrhythmia, one had ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest, and one had cardiac trauma. Ten patients were treated with intraaortic balloon pump (IABP). Conventional CABG was performed for 12 patients, off-pump CABG for 5 patients, and on-pump-beating CABG for 4 patients. Results Five patients died after E-CABG with a mortality of 23.8% which was obviously higher than the overall CABG mortality (23.8% vs. 3.1%, χ2=21.184, P＜0.05). There were respectively 2, 2 and 1 deaths with a mortality of 33.3%, 28.6% and 12.5% respectively for operations within 6 hours, 6 hours to 3 days and 3 to 30 days after the onset of AMI. The mortality of those patients who were operated within 3 days after AMI was obviously lower (P＜0.05). The primary causes of death were low cardiac output syndrome, perioperative acute myocardial infarction after CABG and sapremia. There was one death each for patients operated with off-pump and on-pump-beating CABG. Sixteeen patients were discharged from the hospital. The follow-up was from 6 months to 10 years. There were 6 late deaths among which 5 died of cardiac failure accompanied by pulmonary infection, one died of noncardiac factor. Ten patients survived at present, and the quality of life among 5 patients was unsatisfactory. Conclusion The mortality of E-CABG is obviously higher in patients operated within 3 days of AMI. With the support of IABP, if the operation can be carried out 3 days after the onset of AMI, the surgical success rate will be greatly improved by adopting proper offpump and onpumpbeating procedures.
