  • Relationship between myocardial viability and early application of intra-aortic balloon pump after coronary artery bypass grafting

    ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between myocardial viability in patients with coronary artery disease who underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and early application of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) after coronary revascularization, and to provide relevant clinical reference for the pre-implantation of 16G single-lumen catheter in the femoral artery of high-risk patients to facilitate the addition of IABP after operation.MethodsThis retrospective study included 521 patients (414 males and 107 females, aged 62.50±8.82 years) who underwent positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) perfusion-metabolism imaging prior to CABG surgery in our institution from December 2015 to August 2020. The myocardial viability information and left ventricular functional parameters were measured, including the proportion of non-viable myocardium (perfusion-metabolic imaging match), hibernating myocardium (perfusion-metabolic imaging mismatch) and dysfunctional myocardium (non-viable+viable myocardium), left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic volume and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV). The patients were divided into an IABP group and a non-IABP group according to whether they received IABP treatment after revascularization. The clinical data were reviewed and compared to explore significant impact factors between the two groups. And the multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between preoperative myocardial viability and early use of IABP after CABG.ResultsIn multivariate logistic regression analysis, the amount of non-viable, dysfunctional myocardium and LVESV value were identified as the independent predictors for the probability of IABP use in the initial postoperative period. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that 9.5% non-viable myocardium, 19.5% dysfunctional myocardium, and LVESV of 114.5 mL were the optimal cutoff for predicting early IABP implantation during CABG.ConclusionThe myocardial survival status displayed by preoperative PET-CT myocardial perfusion-metabolism imaging can predict the possibility of applying IABP in CABG perioperative period. In addition to routine pre-anesthesia assessment, anesthesiologists can conduct risk stratification assessment for patients with CABG according to the results of preoperative myocardial viability imaging, which is of great significance to ensure the perioperative safety of high-risk patients with CABG.

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy of normalization management on prognosis in elderly patients with coronary artery disease, in aspects of drug compliance, readmission rate and quality of life. Methods A total of 110 patients above 65 years old with coronary artery disease visiting West China Hospital from August 2010 to February 2011 were investigated. The patients were divided into two groups: the intensive management group (n=55) and the general management group (n=55). The measures such as regular follow-up, regular examination and medical education were conducted in the intensive management group, and the two groups were observed in aspects of drug compliance, readmission rate and quality of life. Results After 1-year follow-up, the percentages of patients taking aspirin/clopidogrel (98.18% vs. 67.27%, Plt;0.05), nitrate (85.45% vs. 40.00%, Plt;0.05), ACEI/ARB (56.36% vs. 18.18%, Plt;0.05), β receptor blocker (58.18% vs. 29.09%, Plt;0.05) and statin (94.55% vs. 32.73%, Plt;0.05) were higher in the intensive management group than those in the general management group. Also, the readmission rate was lower (12.73% vs. 41.42%, Plt;0.05) and the score of quality of life was higher in the intensive management group than that in the general management group. Conclusion The normalization management guided by evidence-based medicine for the elderly patients with coronary artery disease is helpful to improve the drug compliance, reduce the readmission rate, and improve the quality of life.

  • Comparison of total arterialized coronary artery bypass grafting and left internal mammary artery plus saphenous vein bypass grafting in three-vessel coronary heart disease patients with diabetes

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the perioperative, short- and mid-term results of total artery bypass grafting and saphenous vein bypass grafting in three-vessel coronary heart disease patients complicated with diabetes.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on 46 patients (a TAR group) including 36 males and 10 females with an average age of 65.1±11.3 years who underwent total artery bypass grafting in Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University Medical College from 2005 to 2014. A total of 46 patients with age and gender matched admitted during the same period were selected as a control group (NCR group), in which left internal mammary artery and great saphenous vein were used as grafting vessels. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative (1 year and 5 years) data of the two groups were analyzed.ResultsIn terms of perioperative data, the TAR group was inferior to the NCR group in operation time, postoperative 24 h drainage volume and postoperative 24 h blood transfusion volume. However, there was no difference between the two groups in terms of perioperative mortality, ICU stay, etc. One year after surgery, there was no difference in angina pectoris recurrence, recurrent myocardial infarction or grafting vessel patency rate between the two groups. Five years after the operation, the TAR group was superior to the NCR group in angina recurrence, myocardial infarction, and grafting vessels patency rate.ConclusionFor patients with three-vessel coronary heart disease complicated with diabetes, total arterial bypass grafting can achieve better mid-term effect, although it can prolong the operation time and increase the amount of drainage and blood transfusion 24 h after operation.

  • The clinical effects of coronary artery bypass grafting via the left anterior small thoracotomy approach versus the lower-end sternal splitting approach: A propensity score matching study

    Objective To compare the clinical effects of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) via the left anterior small thoracotomy (LAST) versus lower-end sternal splitting (LESS) approach in the treatment of coronary heart disease. Methods The patients who underwent LAST CABG in Tianjin Chest Hospital from October 2015 to December 2020 were allocated to an observation group (LAST group), and the patients who underwent LESS CABG at the same period were allocated to a LESS group. Propensity score matching method was applied with a ratio of 1∶1. The baseline data, perioperative data and grafts data were compared between the two groups after matching. Results Before matching, there were 110 patients in the LAST group, and 206 patients in the LESS group. After matching, there were 110 patients in each group. In the LAST group, there were 83 males and 27 females with an average age of 60.6±8.3 years. In the LESS group, there were 80 males and 30 females with an average age of 61.0±9.6 years. There was no statistical difference in baseline data between the two groups after matching (P>0.05). The hospital stay time (t=2.255, P=0.025) and ventilator using time (t=−2.229, P=0.027) in the LAST group were significantly shorter than those in the LESS group. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in the postoperative hospital stay time, ICU stay time, postoperative left ventricular ejection fraction, postoperative left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, average number of grafts, secondary intubation, secondary thoracotomy, postoperative wound infection, sternal complications, postoperative atrial fibrillation, postoperative pulmonary infection or main adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (P>0.05). There was no statistical difference in the distribution of target vessels in the anterior descending branch, diagonal branch or posterior descending branch between the two groups (P>0.05). The grafts of the LAST group were significantly more than those of the LESS group in the area of obtuse marginal branch and posterior ventricular branch, and the grafts of the LESS group were significantly more than those of the LAST group in the area of right coronary artery (P<0.05). Postoperative computerized tomography angiography indicated that 1 patient in the LAST group had obtuse marginal branch vein bridge vessel occlusion, and the bridge vessels in the other patients were unobstructed. Conclusion Minimally invasive CABG via both LAST and LESS approaches is safe and effective. LAST approach can achieve complete revascularization for multi-vessel lesions, and it is safe and reliable, with the advantages of less trauma and aesthetic appearance. However, it requires a certain learning curve of surgical techniques and certain surgical indications.

  • The Clinical Study of Endothelin during Perioperative Coronary Artery Disease

    Objective To study the characteristics of endothelin(ET) and hemodynamics parameters in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) in perioperative period and aim to find out some rules and useful suggestions for clinical trial. Methods Fortyseven patients were divided into 5 groups: patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and resection of left ventricular aneurysm(CABG+LVAN group),patients undergoing classical CABG(CABG group), patients undergoing offpump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB group), patients undergoing transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR group), and group control, patients undergoing mitral valve replacement because of rheumatic heart disease(RHD). The ET was measured in the following time: before operation, before aortic clamping(or before revascularization or before TMLR), aortic declamping(or just after revascularization or just TMLR), 3 h, 6 h, 24 h after reperfusion. CI was measured before operation, 3 h, 6 h and 24 h after reperfusion, respectively. Results ET Compared in each group: in CABG+LVAN group, it significantly increased when aortic declamping (69.93±7.20 pg/ml),at 3 h (89.99±5.76 pg/ml),6 h (60.94±8.69 pg/ml) and, 24 h (6899±10.30 pg/ml) after reperfusion than that beforeoperation (40.17±13.37 pg/ml,Plt;0.05); in CABG group, ET significantly increased when reperfusion(66.59±4.86 pg/ml), at 3 h (95.97±10.72 pg/ml), 6 h (61.51±765 pg/ml) and, 24 h (57.85±6.34 pg/ml) after reperfusion than that beforeoperation(43.22±9.13 pg/ml,Plt;0.05); in OPCAB group, ET increased significantly when reperfusion(66.47±5.90 pg/ml) than that beforeoperation(44.80±6.51 pg/ml,Plt;0.05), and then returned to normal level; in TMLR group,there is no difference before and after operation; in control group, ET increased significantly after operation. ET compared between different groups: ET level was higher in CABG group than that in OPCAB group at 3 h after reperfusion(95.97±10.72 pg/ml vs.59.72±4.81 pg/ml,Plt;0.05). Although CI significantly increased after myocardial reperfusion in all groups, the CI was significantly higher in OPCAB group than that in CABG group at 3 h after reperfusion(3.25±0.05 pg/ml vs. 2.17±0.46 L/min·m2,Plt;0.05). Conclusions In patients with CAD, the ET increases after operation, but the increasing levels are different among the different groups. In patients with OPCAB, the changes of ET and hemodynamics are mild, and heart function recovers quickly, so OPCAB is a very good choice for CAD surgical therapy if the indications are suitable; In patients with classical CABG, the changes of ET are obvious, and the heart function recovers a little bit slowly, but they all can return to normal level at 24 h after operation; TMLR is a good supplement for CAD therapy.

  • Impact of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome on risk of atrial fibrillation with coronary artery disease: a systematic review

    ObjectiveTo systematically review whether or not obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) increases the incidence of atrial fibrillation in coronary artery disease patients.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, SinoMed, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were searched for studies on the relationship between OSAHS and the incidence of atrial fibrillation in coronary artery disease patients from inception to July 2nd, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literatures, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsIn total, 11 cohort studies were included, involving 709 in exposed group and 975 in non-exposed group. The results of meta-analysis indicated that OSAHS was associated with the incidence of atrial fibrillation in coronary artery disease patients (RR=2.01, 95%CI 1.72 to 2.36, P<0.000 01). The subgroup analysis showed that OSAHS of PSG diagnosis increased the risk of the incidence of atrial fibrillation in coronary artery disease patients (RR=2.40, 95%CI 1.84 to 3.12, P<0.000 01); moderate and severe OSAHS of PSG diagnosis had higher risk of the incidence of atrial fibrillation in coronary artery disease patients (RR=3.73, 95%CI 2.51 to 5.53, P<0.000 01); high risk OSAHS of Berlin questionnaire assessment increased the incidence of atrial fibrillation in CAD patients (RR=1.56, 95%CI 1.27 to 1.92, P<0.000 1).ConclusionThe current evidence indicates that OSAHS is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation in coronary artery disease patients. Due to the limitation of quality and quantity of the included studies, more large-scale and fine quality research are needed to warrant the accuracy of conclusion above.

  • Clinical Efficacy Comparison between Rosuvastatin and Atorvastatin on Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients with Premature Coronary Heart Disease

    ObjectiveTo observe and analyze the short-term efficacy of different statins on acute myocardial infarction in patients with premature coronary heart disease. MethodWe selected 70 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted into our hospital for treatment of premature coronary artery disease between January 2012 and June 2013. The patients were randomly divided into experimental group (n=35) and control group (n=35). The experimental group were treated with rosuvastatin, and the control group of patients were given atorvastatin. We observed the rate of overall efficiency within 6 months after treatment, and total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), hepersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), left ventricular ejction fraction (LVEF), and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) were also observed before and after treatment. ResultsThe overall efficacy rate in the experimental group at 6 months was 94.3% and in the control group was 88.6% with no significant difference between each other (P>0.05). TG and FMD of patients in the experimental group at 6 months did not significantly change (P>0.05), while LVEF of the experimental group was significantly higher (P<0.05), and hs-CRP, TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C of the experimental group were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionsShort-term comprehensive efficacy of rosuvastatin for treatment of premature coronary artery disease in patients with acute myocardial infarction is superior to atorvastatin.

  • Accuracy of Detecting Coronary Artery Stenosis Between 64-multislice Spiral CT and Selective Coronary Angiography: A Comparative Study

    Abstract: Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy for the the assessment of coronary artery stenosesusing 64-multislice spiral computed tomography (64-MSCT) scanner compared with selective coronary angiography(SCA). Methods 64-MSCT and SCA were both performed in 93 patients with 74 males and 19 females at mean age of (58.2±8.5) years in West China Hospital between April 2004 and December 2010. The cardiacrhythm of all the patients was stably sinus. Patients with initial heart rates≥90 time/min were received treatments of β-blockers. All available coronary segments(internal diameter ≥ 2.0 mm)were included in the evaluation. Lesions with ≥ 50% luminalnarrowing were considered as significant stenosis. According to the image detail of segments and existance of artfacts,the image quality was randed Ⅰ to Ⅳ ,with rank Ⅰ to Ⅲ meeting demands of image evaluation. Evaluations had been done concerning the 64-MSCT scanner for detecting the stenosis of the variant branches or segments of the coronary artery. Results 64-MSCTprovided a full image correspondence(100%,1 238/1 238)of all the segments clearly displayed in the SCA. All of the coronary segments involved (n=1 238) met the quality demands of being evaluated as rankⅠ to Ⅲ. Considering SCA as the golden standard, overall sensitivity for classifying stenosis using 64-MSCT scannerwas 88.8%(427/481), specificity was 91.7%(694/757), positive predictive value was 87.1%(427/490),and negative predictive value was 92.8%( 694/748).While the stenosis diagnostic accuracy of proximal left circumflexbranch and the first obtuse marginal branch of left coronay artery is lower than other branches: the sensitivity of the proximal left circumflex branch was 68.3%(41/60),specificity was 60.6%(20/33),positive predictive value was 75.9%(41/54),negative predictive value was 51.3%(20/39);the sensitivity of the first obtuse marginalbranch was 58.8%(10/17),specificity was 93.5%(58/62),positive predictive value was 71.4%(10/14),negative predictive value was 89.2%(58/65). Arterial wall calcification and false image of cardiac movements were the maininfluence factors for accuracy of the the assessment of coronary artery stenosis with 64-MSCT scanner. Conclusion 64-MSCT scanner provids a high diagnostic accuracy in assessing stenosis of the coronary artery. The anatomical location and luminal area of coronary artery were the main influence factors of diagnostic accuracy. Thus the diagnostic accuracy in proximal left circumflex branch and the first obtuse marginal branch of left coronary artery was lower than other coronarysegments.
