Abstract: Objective To summarize surgical experiences and explore risk factors of patients undergoing repeated heart valve surgery. Methods Clinical records of 325 consecutive patients who underwent repeated heart valve surgery from January 1998 to December 2008 in Changhai Hospital of Second Military Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 149 male patients and 176 female patients with their average age of (47.1±11.8) years. Following variables were collected: preoperative morbidity, heart function, indications and surgical strategies of repeated heart valve surgery, postoperative mortality and morbidity, which were compared with those clinical data of patients who underwent their first heart valve surgery during the same period. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine risk factors of perioperative death of patients undergoing repeated heart valve surgery. Results The main reasons for repeated heart valve surgery were mitral valve restenosis after closed mitral commissurotomy and new other valvular diseases. Postoperatively, 28 patients died in the early-stage with the overall mortality of 8.6% (28/325). The main reasons of in-hospital death included low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS)and acute renal failure. Compared with patients undergoing their first heart valve surgery, patients who underwent repeated heart valve surgery were more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), New York Heart Association (NYHA) classⅢ-Ⅳ, and atrial fibrillation, preoperatively. Their cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic cross clamp time were comparatively longer. They also had more postoperative morbidities such as LCOS, acute renal failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Multivariate logistic regression showed that preoperative critical state (OR=2.82, P=0.002), cardiopulmonary bypass time longer than 120 minutes (OR=1.13, P=0.008), concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (OR=1.64, P=0.005), postoperative LCOS(OR=4.52, P<0.001), ARDS (OR=3.11, P<0.001) and acute renal failure (OR=4.13, P<0.001)were independent risk factors of perioperative death of patients undergoing repeated heart valve surgery. Conclusion Repeated heart valve surgery is a difficult surgical procedure with comparatively higher risks. Full preoperative assessment of the valvular lesions, proper timing for surgery and perioperative management are helpful to reduce postoperative mortality and morbidity.
Abstract:Objective To investigate the reoperation indication,surgical timing and the key point of surgical treatment of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) after valve replacement. Methods From February 2000 to July 2005,18 patients with PVE underwent surgery ,their clinical manifestation ,process of treatment and their prognosis outcome were analyzed. Results There were 3 patients (16.7 %) of early-death, 1 patient died of septic shock, and 2 patients died of multiple organ failure. Since 2003,there was no operative death for all 11 patients. There were 6 patients with respiratory insufficiency, 2 patients with renal insufficiency,which were recovered after treatment. The 15 survivors were followed up from 1 month to 5years. There was recurrence of infection in 1 patient who died after ineffective medical treatment. The other 14 patients recovered well. Conclusion It has high risk and high mortality for reoperation for PVE. Accurate reoperative indication,optimal surgical timing,radical debridment of infected tissue and correct perioperative use of antibiotics are the key factors to improve the reoperative result for PVE.

Objective To summary the operative technique of liver retransplantation (RLT). Methods The clinical data of 62 cases who had received RLT in our institute from Jan. 2003 to Jun. 2012 were analyzed retrospectively, and the experience about RLT was summaried too. Results The operative time 〔(12.7±3.5) h vs. (10.5±3.0) h〕, bleeding volume (3 431 mL vs. 2 211 mL), and blood volume transfused during operation (3 229 mL vs. 1 910 mL) in 62 cases who had underwent RLT were longer or higher than that of 38 patients who had underwent the first liver transplantation (LT) in our hospital (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference on the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score between the 2 groups (P>0.05). All cases were followed up for 1-104 months (average 31 months). Twenty case died within 1 month after RLT, including sever lung or abdominal infection in 13 cases, multiple organ failure in 4 cases, hepatic artery complication in 2 cases, and portal vein complication in 1 case. Eight cases died of tumor recu-rrence during 14-69 months (average 27 months) after RLT. The cumulative survival rate of 1-, 2-, and 5-year of 62 cases of RLT were 67.7%, 59.7%, and 56.4%, respectively. The 34 patients had survived for 3-104 months (average 49 months), of them, there were biliary stenosis in 3 cases who were cured by interventional radiology treatment, biliary stenosis in 2 cases who were cured by a third RLT, infection in 10 cases who were cured by anti-infective therapy and immunosuppressant adjustment, light rejection in 2 cases who were relieved by dosage increase of oral immunosuppressant, other 17 cases suffered no complications and all in good condition. Conclusions RLT is an effective method for irreversible graft failure after LT. Proper surgical procedure contributes to the increase of survival rate of patients who has received RLT.
Objective To summary the clinical experience of liver retransplantation (RLT), and to improve the effect. Methods The clinical data of 62 cases who had received RLT in our institute from Jan. 2003 to Jun. 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The survival rates of patients with different interval between two liver transplantation (LT) were calculated, and the data of patients who died and survived during perioperative period after operation were compared and analyzed. Results The 1-, 2-, and 5-year cumulative survival rates of 62 patients were 67.7%, 59.7%, and 56.4%, of early stage RLT patients were 38.5%, 38.5%, and 30.8%, of later stage RLT patients were 75.5%, 65.3%, and 63.3%, respectively. There were 28 patients died after operation, and 20 patients (71.4%) died during perioperative period, whose major cause of death were infection (65.0%, 13/20), in addition, 4 cases (20.0%) died of multiple organ failure, 2 cased (10.0%) died of hepatic artery complication, 1 case (5.0%) died of portal vein complication. Eight cases (28.6%) died after perioperative period in reason of tumor recurrence. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score 〔(26.95±9.28) score vs. (14.23±9.06) score〕, creatinine (Cr) level 〔(157.3±88.0) μmol/L vs.(69.8±35.9) μmol/L〕, international normalized ratio (INR) value 〔(1.676±0.744) vs.(1.124±0.286)〕, and total bilirubin (TBiL) value 〔431.8 μmol/L vs. 248.2 μmol/L〕 of patients died during perioperative period were higher than that of patients survived after perioperative period (P<0.05). The ratio of abnormal Cr of patients died during perioperativeperiod and survived after perioperative period were 60.0% (12/20) and 7.1% (3/42), respectively. The 34 patients who had survived after perioperative period were all got followed-up for 3-104 months (average 49 months). There were no tumor recurrence during the followed-up, and liver function of them were normal. Conclusions RLT is an effective method for irreversible graft failure after LT. Optimum operative time and reasonable individual immunosuppressive regimen to decrease the infection rate are all contribute to the increase of the survival rate.
Objective To explore the reoperative techniques of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 56 patients who treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of General Hospital of PLA and General Hospital of PLA from Feb. 2011 to Feb. 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Results All performed surgeries were successful. Surgeries took 90-150 minutes with an average of 120 minutes. Bleeding during surgeries was 70-200 mL with an average of 120 mL. Postoperative drainage was 90-210 mL with an average of 100 mL. The pathological diagnosis of the second surgery in 44 cases were as the same as the first, but there were no malignant tumor tissues of dissected glands in 12 cases. All patients had no postoperative bleeding and bucking, but 8 patients experienced hand and foot numbness, and 5 patientsexperienced transient hoarseness. Fifty patients were followed-up for 6-30 months (average 10.8 months) from the reoper-taion and 18-66 months (average 45.2 months) from the first operation, and rate of postoperative followed-up was 89.3%(50/56). During the followed-up, 1 patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma and 1 patient with follicular thyroid carcinoma died in 44 months and 38 months respectively, 3 patients suffered lymph node metastasis at non-Ⅵ region ofaffected side, no one suffered recurrence. Conclusions For differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients who are undergoingthe second surgery, thorough whole body condition analysis should be performed and appropriate type of surgery should be chosen. By using recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring, carbon nanoparticles for lymph node clearance, and protecting parathyroid gland to lower the possibility of postoperative complication, to improve survival rate and life quality.
