ObjectiveTo compare the safety and efficacy of simple mitral valve replacement with the third intercostal incision on the right side and the conventional midsternum incision.MethodsFrom February 2017 to February 2019, heart surgery in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College completed the first simple mitral valve replacement (MVR) operation in 103 patients, of whom 39 patients were received minimally invasive right third intercostal small incision (a minimally invasive surgery group). There were 10 males, 29 females at average age of 59.51 years. There were 64 patients with MVR via the middle section of the common sternum (a conventional surgery group), 22 males and 42 females, with an average age of 60.22 years. Types of lesions: 65 patients were with mitral stenosis, 22 patients with incomplete closure, 16 patients with incomplete closure.ResultsThere was no significant difference in preoperative clinical data between the two groups (P>0.05). The entire group of patients successfully completed the operation. Surgical replacement of mitral valve mechanical valve in 74 patients and biological valve in 29 patients. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the extracardiopulmonary cycle time, aortic blockade time and total hospitalization time. In the early stage of operation, 3 patients were examined for secondary hemostasis, 1 patient was minimally invasive surgery, and the remaining 2 patients were with routine surgery. The infection of incision occurred in 3 patients, all of them were in the routine operation group. All three patients died early after operation in the routine operation group: two were postoperative low cardiac volumetric syndrome leading to multiple organ failure, and the other was sternum infection accompanied by artificial valve endocarditis.ConclusionThere is no significant difference between MVR through the third rib of the right chest and traditional MVR in the safety. However, it has the advantages of small trauma, beauty, low incidence of incision infection and reduced postoperative pain.
ObjectiveTo analyze the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive small incision through the right third intercostal and standard aortic valve replacement.MethodsThe clinical data of 123 patients with the first simple aortic valve replacement in our hospital from June 2013 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients receiving aortic valve replacement through the right third intercostal small incision were allocated to a minimally invasive group, and patients receiving aortic valve replacement through the median sternal incision were allocated to a common group. The clinical outcomes of the two groups were compared.ResultsThere were 40 patients in the minimally invasive group, including 11 (27.5%) females and 29 (72.5%) males, aged 54.60±9.98 years with the body mass index (BMI) of 23.16±2.48 kg/m2. There were 83 patients in the common group, including 27 (32.5%) females, 56 (67.5%) males, aged 58.77±9.71 years, with the BMI of 24.13±3.13 kg/m2. Compared with the common group, the aortic cross-clamping time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and operation time were longer (P<0.05), the ventilator support time was shorter (P<0.05), and the blood loss, postoperative 24 h chest drainage volume and total expense were less (P<0.05) in the minimally invasive group. The ICU stay, postoperative hospital stay, and total hospital stay were not statistically different between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionThe aortic valve replacement through the right third intercostal small incision is safe and effective, with less blood loss, 24 h chest drainage volume and invasiveness.

ObjectiveTo investigate the optimal administration combination of β-aminopropionitrile (BAPN) and Angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang-Ⅱ) in the establishment of SD rat aortic dissection (AD) model and the related complications. MethodsForty-two three-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into 7 groups: a group A (0.25% BAPN), a group B (0.40% BAPN), a group C (0.80% BAPN), a group D [1 g/(kg·d) BAPN], a group E [1 g/(kg·d) BAPN+1 μg/(kg·min) saline], a group F [1 g/(kg·d) BAPN+1 μg/(kg·min) Ang-Ⅱ] and a group G (control group). There were 6 rats in each group. The intervention period was 4 weeks (groups E and F were 4 weeks+5 days). Rats were dissected immediately if they died during the experiment. After the intervention, the surviving rats were sacrificed by pentobarbital sodium, and the whole aorta was separated and retained. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the changes of aorta from the pathological morphology. ResultsThere was no statistical difference in the survival rate among the groups after 4 weeks of BAPN intervention (P>0.05). After 5 days of mini-osmotic pumps implantation, the survival rate of rats was higher in the group E than that in the group F (P=0.008), and the incidence of AD in the group E was lower than that in the group F (P=0.001). BAPN could affect the food and water intake of rats. After BAPN intervention for 4 weeks, the body weight of rats in the group G was higher than those in the intervention groups (P<0.05). BAPN combined with Ang-Ⅱ could make the aortic intima thick, elastic fiber breakage, arrangement disorder, and inflammatory cell infiltration in rats, which conformed to the pathological and morphological changes of AD. BAPN could also affect mental state and gastrointestinal tract. ConclusionThe combination of BAPN [1 g/(kg·d)] and Ang-Ⅱ [1 μg/(kg·min)] can stably establish AD model in rats, which will provide a stable carrier for further study of the pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of AD. However, the complications in this process are an unstable factor. How to balance the influence of BAPN on other tissues and organs in the process of AD model establishment remains to be further studied.
