目的 探讨四维经食管超声心动图（4D-TEE）在瓣膜修复中的作用。 方法 2016 年 1 月我院对 3 例行二尖瓣修复和 1 例行主动脉瓣膜修复的患者采用西门子 SC2000 4D-TEE 进行术前术后评估，其中男 2 例、女 2 例，年龄38～59 （48.0±10.5）岁。同期采用二维经食管超声心动图指导二尖瓣和主动脉瓣修复的 13 例患者作为对照，其中男 8 例、女 5 例，年龄43～67（56.4±7.5）岁。 结果 术中 4D-TEE 可实时显示瓣叶的各项参数，如不同节段瓣叶高度、交界区面积、瓣叶面积、对合面的大小、窦管交界大小，瓣膜运动形态、主动脉管壁位移等信息。可根据内置软件建立个性化的瓣膜几何模型，动态模拟瓣膜启闭并直观呈现。对照组仅可显示某切面的瓣膜、腱索、乳头肌、心腔等信息。 结论 4D-TEE 跳过了对二维图像的解读步骤，更直观完整地显示了瓣膜形态和动态，可以通过它的辅助来进行更有效的手术决策。
ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical experience of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in adult patients with cardiac surgery, analyze the risk factors associated with the mortality and other severe complications and to discuss prevention methods of complications during ECMO treatment.MethodsThe clinical data of 26 patients with cardiac surgery, who underwent ECMO because of cardiopulmonary insufficiency ect in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from January 2012 to September 2017, were retrospectively analyzed. There were 19 males and 7 females aged 24–80 (58.0±13.9) years.ResultsTwelve (42.3%) patients successfully weaned from ECMO and six (23.1%) were discharged from hospital. Among 26 patients, 24 received VA ECMO (veno-arterial ECMO), including 5 after heart transplantation, 9 after heart valve surgery, and 3 were successfully weaned from ECMO. Seven patients with valvular surgery underwent ECMO within 48 hours due to refractory low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS). Eight patients underwent major angioplasty, 3 of whom were successfully weaned from ECMO. Four patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and other cardiac surgeries. Patients with VA ECMO were treated with femoral vein-femoral artery cannulation except for 2 patients undergoing femoral vein-radial artery cannulation after major angioplasty. Patients with VV ECMO (veno-venous ECMO) underwent femoral vein-jugular vein cannulation. After ECMO support, 10 patients with bleeding occurred, and 5 patients were successfully weaned from ECMO. All patients had transfusion therapy during the assist period, 7 patients had infection after ECMO support, 4 patients suffered severe distal limb ischemia. There was no significant difference in the lactic acid between the survival and the dead patients before and after ECMO support. However, the decline of serum lactic acid in the survivors was faster than that of the dead patients. The trend was the most significant within 6 h after the operation.ConclusionECMO is one of the significant treatments for LCOS and refractory hypoxemia after cardiac surgery. The type of cardiac surgery and the timing of catheter placement are key factors for the success of ECMO. The different ways of ECMO intubation, prevention and control of bleeding during ECMO, monitoring and management of internal environment and the strategies of anti-infection are all important for success of ECMO.
ObjectiveTo review and analyze the clinical manifestations of common aortitis in cardiac surgery. MethodsWe screened 41 552 patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 2010 to 2020, analyzed the patients' clinical data, and classified according to the type of diseases. Then we summarized all their clinical manifestations. ResultsIn our center 145 patients were operated for aortitis diseases, including 75 males and 70 females, with the age of 24-76 (45.6±11.3) years. There were 61 patients of Takayasu's arteritis, 51 patients of Behcet's disease, 8 patients of syphilitic aortitis, 8 patients of systemic lupus erythematosus, 2 patients of Kawasaki disease, 4 patients of ankylosing spondylitis, 10 patients of dry syndrome, and 1 patient of scleroderma. ConclusionAortitis is not uncommon in cardiac surgery, and awareness of the disease should be enhanced. So that we can distinguish various types of aortitis and to make proper management to improve patients' prognosis.
