ObjectiveTo investigate the technique and efficacy of left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) in elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF).MethodsFrom 2013 to 2018, 84 elderly patients with CAD and AF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF< 50%) underwent OPCABG in our department. There were 54 males and 30 females at age of 70-82 years. They were divided into a left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion group (n=56) and a non-LAA occlusion group (n=28). Postoperative antithrombotic therapy: the LAA occlusion group was given warfarin + aspirin + clopidogrel “triple antithrombotic therapy” for 3 months after operation, then was changed to aspirin + clopidogrel “dual antiplatelet” for long-term antithrombotic; the non-LAA occlusion group was given warfarin + aspirin + clopidogrel “triple antithrombotic” for long-term antithrombotic after operation. The clinical effectiveness of the two groups was compared.ResultsAll patients underwent the surgery successfully. There were 56 patients in the LAA occlusion group, including 44 patients of LAA exclusion and 12 patients of LAA clip. The time of LAA occlusion was 3 to 8 minutes. There was no injury of graft vessels and anastomotic stoma. Early postoperative death occurred in 2 patients (2.4%). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in postoperative hospital stay (P=0.115). Postoperative LVEF of the two groups significantly improved compared with that before operation (P<0.05). There was no stroke or bleeding in important organs during hospitalization. During follow-up of 1 year, no cerebral infarction occurred in both groups, but the incidence of bleeding related complications in the LAA occlusion group was significantly lower than that in the non-LAA occlusion group (3.6% vs. 18.5%, P=0.036).ConclusionFor elderly patients with CAD and AF with reduced LVEF, LAA occlusion during OPCABG can effectively reduce the risk of stroke and bleeding related complications, and without increasing the risk of surgery.
Objective To investigate the distribution of the perforating branches artery of distally-based flap of sural nerve nutrient vessels and its clinical application. Methods The origins and distribution of perforating branchesartery of distally-based flap were observed on specimens of 30 adult cadavericlow limbs by perfusing red gelatin to dissect the artery.Among the 36 cases, there were 21 males, 15 females. Their ages ranged from 6 to 66, 35.2 in average. The defect area was 3.5 cm×2.5 cm to 17.0 cm×11.0 cm. The flap taken ranged from 4 cm×3 cm to 18 cm×12 cm. Results The perforating branches artery of distally-based flap had 2 to 5 branches and originated from the heel lateral artery, the terminal perforating branches of peroneal artery(diameters were 0.6±0.2 mm and 0.8±0.2 mm, 1.0±1.3 cm and 2.8±1.0 cm to the level of cusp lateral malleolus cusp).The intermuscular septum perforating branches of peroneal artery had 0 to 3 branches. Their rate of presence was 96.7%,66.7% and 20.0% respectively(the diameters were 0.9±0.3, 1.0±0.2 and 0.8±0.4 mm, andtheir distances to the level of cusp of lateral malleolus were 5.3±2.1, 6.8±2.8 and 7.0±4.0 cm). Those perforating branches included fascia branches, cutaneous branches, nerve and vein nutrient branches. Those nutrient vessels formed longitudinal vessel chain of sural nerve shaft, vessel chain of vein side and vessel network of deep superficial fascia. The distally-based superficial sural artery island flap was used in 18 cases, all flaps survived. Conclusion Distally-based sural nerve, small saphenous vein, and nutrient vessels of fascia skin have the same origin. Rotation point of flap is 3.0 cm to the cusp of lateral malleolus, when the distally-based flap is pedicled with the terminal branch of peroneal artery.Rotation point of flap is close to the cusp of lateral malleolus, when the distally-based flap is pedicled with the heel lateral artery.

Methods :From July of 2005 through June of 2008,two hundred consecutive patients undergoing OPCAB were retrospectively studied. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 00501mg/kg, or etomidate 03mg/kg and fentanyl 515μg/kg. Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane 05%20% and oxygen, combined with propofol 14mg/(kg·h). Intraoperative hypotension resulting from either surgical procedure or anesthetics should be dealt with inotropes immediately. Results :Intraoperative hemodynamics deviation was tolerated with the support of inotropics. The mean of patients of consciousness recovery time, tracheal extubation time and stay in ICU time were 178±42 min,105±40 hours and 18±63 hours. The patients were discharged in 80±12 days. Racheal intubation were remained 12 hours in 180 patients after operation, 180 patients had good recovery without any anesthesia complications. Conclusion : Rational use of anesthetics and inotropics to stabilize hemodynamics during operation plays a key role in successful OPCAB.
In order to explore a new method to treat the ischemic necrosis of the head of 2nd metatarsal bone in adult, transposition of reversed vascularized metatarsal bone graft was adopted in the treatment of 4 cases, 2 of which were followed up for one and a half years. The postoperative X-ray showed the round head of the 2nd metatarsal bone became round and even density. The clinical observation showed that there was excellent function of metatarsophalangeal joint. It was concluded that the reversed vascularized metatarsal bone graft could provide a reliable blood supply and various osteogenic factors to the avascularized head of the metatarsal bone, and the operation could also debride the joint cavity and carry out decompression.
Objective To evaluate the effects of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (ECABG) in the treatment of emergent patients, and to summarize our experience. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 160 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Command from January 2010 through December 2013. The patients were divided into an ECABG group (operation underwent on the day diagnosed, n=27, 22 males and 5 females, at age of 70.2±10.2 years) and a conventional group (CABG operation underwent on 5 days after diagnosed, n=133, 104 males and 29 females, at age of 66.3±8.9 years). Results Statistical differences were found between the ECABG group and the conventional group in EuroSCORE (5.8±3.2 versus 3.4±2.1, P=0.001), acute myocardial infarction (33.3% vs. 11.3%, P=0.007), rate of application of IABP (29.6% versus 12.0%, P=0.034), pericardium and mediastinal tube drainage (533.4±132.8 ml versus 414.8±124.3 ml, P=0.018). There was no statistical difference in continuous renal replacement therapy (P=0.677), postoperative sternal wound complication (P=1.000), the length of hospital stay (P=0.589), or 30-day-mortality (P=0.198) between the two groups. We followed up 24 patients(88.89%) for 3-36 months in the ECABG group. One patient occurred angina symptoms at the end of 1 year follow-up. The symptoms disappeared after treatment. The other patients had no symptoms of angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia. Conclusion ECABG as a lifesaving therapy is an effective procedure in the treatment of severe and acute patients. Sufficient preoperative assessment, good myocardial protection, full revascularization, and comprehensive treatment plays an important role in the success of ECABG.
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting in the treatment of coronary artery disease patients aged over 70 years. Methods A total of 160 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting from January 2013 to December 2017. There were 94 males and 66 females at age of 70–85 (76.67±2.33) years. Operations were performed by using sternal median incision with the assistance of local myocardial surface fixator and shunt plug, and the saphenous vein and internal mammary arterywere used as grafted vessels. Results All the patients were received successful off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting without death, and the cardiac function improved significantly. There were 62 patients with the internal mammary artery bridge and 98 patients with the whole vein bridge. All the patients were followed-up for 1 to 4 years. All the patients had obvious relief of angina pectoris. Conclusion Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for the treatment of elderly patients with coronary heart disease is an effective and safe operation, especially for patients with renal insufficiency, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease and severe left ventricular dysfunction.
Objective To introduce a new design of the scapular flap.Methods The lateral descending cutaneous branch of the circumflex scapular artery was investigated in 10 cadavers with radiography. Based on the results, we usedthe scapular flap(from 8 cm×25 cm to 11 cm×35 cm) pedical on the lateral descending cutaneous branch of the circumflex scapular artery to reconstruct defects offaciocervical region after burning in 7 patients, with direct suture the donatearea,or skin grafting.Results Sever flaps survived completely, satisfactoryresults were obtained except 2 patients’ flap to need to be thinned during the following up.Conclusion This flap can be designed to extend to the inframamary fold, the donor-site scar of the flap is well hidden. The design of the flap broadens the application of the scapular flap.
Abstract:Objective To investigate the pattern and affecting factors of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting（OPCAB）. Methods Fifty-five patients of coronary artery disease without acute myocardial infarction （AMI） who underwent selective OPCAB were chosen for this study. Four ml blood sample was taken at 30 min before operation, and 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 120 h after operation. The hematopoietic stem cell count was made by flow cytometer with CD34 and CD45 double antibody. The serum myoeardium enzyme and troponin T （cTnT） were measured at the same time. Results The hematopoietic stem cell count was 0. 13%±0. 12% of all nucleated cells in the peripheral blood circulation before operation. It increased significantly witha peak value at 24 halter OPCAB（0.34%±0.20%）. It turned back to pre-operativelevelat 120h after operation. Smoking, hyperlipemia and diabetes mellitus had no effect on hematopoietic stem cell mobilization. But hypertension could reduce its mobilization significantly. The hematopoietic stem cell count was positively correlated with creatine kinase （CK）, creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme （CK-MB）, lactate de hydrogenase （LDH） and cTnT （r=0. 692,P=0. 000; r=0. 558, P=0. 000; r=0. 447, P=0. 000 and r=0. 401, P=0. 004, respectively） 24h after OPCAB. Conclusion Hematopoietic stem cells mobilize rapidly and temporarily after OPCAB. Myocardial injury and CABG risk factors take part in hematopoietic stem cell mobilization.
Objective To investigate the feasibility of imaging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide(SPIO) transplanted into coronary artery in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the redistribution of the cells into other organs. Methods BMMSCs were isolated, cultured from bone marrow of Chinese mini swine, and double labeled with SPIO and CMDiI(Cell TrackerTM C-7001). The labeled cells were injected into left anterior descending coronary artery through a catheter. The injected cells were detected by using MRI at 1 week,3weeks after transplantation. And different organs were harvested and evaluated the redistribution of transplanted cells through pathology. Results The SPIO labeled BMMSCs injected into coronary artery could be detected through MRI and confirmed by pathology and maintained more than 3 weeks. The SPIO labeled cells could be clearly imaged as signal void lesions in the related artery. The pathology showed that the injected cells could be distributed into the area of related artery, and the cells injected into coronary artery could be found in the lung, spleen, kidney, but scarcely in the liver, the structures of these organs remained normal. Conclusion The SPIO labeled BMMSCs injected into coronary artery can be detected by using MRI, the transplanted cells can be redistributed into the non-targeted organs.
Objective To investigate the operative method and cl inical efficacy of repairing fingertip defect with modified reverse homodigital artery island flap. Methods From March 2000 to September 2006, 18 cases (24 fingers) of fingertip defect were treated, including 12 males and 6 females aged 18-53 years (mean 29 years). Defect was caused by crush injuries in 12 cases, by avulsion injury in 3 cases, by twist injury in 2 cases and by incised injury in 1 case. The time from injury tooperation was 2-8 hours (mean 4 hours). The location were index fingers (3 fingers), middle fingers (4 fingers) and ring fingers (17 fingers). The defects of soft tissue were 1.9 cm × 1.7 cm to 2.4 cm × 1.9 cm in size, the reverse homodigital artery island flaps were from 2.0 cm × 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm × 2.0 cm in size. The donor site was repaired with dumped skin grafting(3 cases) and with skin grafting from medial area of planta pedis (15 cases). Results Skin flaps and skin grafting of all the 24 fingers survived after operation. All incisions and donor sites healed by first intention. Sixteen patients (22 fingers) were followed up for 1-5 years (mean 3.2 years).The appearance and function of the flaps were all satisfactory. Two-point discriminations of flaps ranged from 4.5 mm to 6.3 mm. According to the total active movement/total passive movement assessment criteria, the results were excellent in 20 fingers and good in 2 fingers; and the excellent and good rate was 100%. The circumference of donor site was 2.0-3.5 mm shorter than that of normal side. The two-point discriminations of donor site was 7.8-10.5 mm. Conclusion Repairing defect of fingertip with modified reverse homodigital artery island flap can provide good texture and contour matching the recipient area, good function and l ittle trauma at donor site.
