随着人口的老龄化，越来越多的有症状或无症状的冠心病患者需接受非心脏外科手术。接受非心脏外科手术而死亡的患者大约有50%是由于心脏并发症所致［1］。围手术期发生的心脏并发症大约5%～10%为心肌梗死，主要发生于术后头3天，其病死率很高，可达32%～69%［2，3］。术后发生心肌梗死或不稳定型心绞痛的患者发生心血管问题的几率增加20倍［4］。因此，如何评估非心脏外科手术患者的心脏危险性，如何预防围手术期心脏并发症的发生，已成为外科医生十分关注的一个问题。
Objective To assess the value of pulmonary ventilation test in evaluating the prognosis of cardiac surgery patients. Methods Data were collected retrospectively from consecutive patients with coronary heart disease or valvular disease, who were prepared for cardiac surgery in Zhongshan Hospital from January 2007 to December 2008. The main outcome indices were mortality of surgery, the prolonging time of using artificial airway ( ≥3 days) , and the prolonging time in intensive care units ( ICU) ( ≥5 days) . Then the relationship between the poor outcome and ventilation disorder was analyzed. Results In the 422 cases,the incidence of ventilation disorder was 55% , included 27. 5% restrictive ventilation disorder, 15. 6% obstructive ventilation disorder, and 11. 8% mixed ventilation disorder. And the severity of pulmonaryventilation disorder was mild of 34. 6% , moderate of 15. 2% , and severe of 5. 2% . Among the 42 patients who gave up surgery,50% were due to ventilation dysfunction, and the patients were prone to give up surgery with the deterioration of pulmonary function( P lt; 0. 001) . But comparing with the patients with normal pulmonary function, the risk of poor outcome after surgery did not significantly increase in the patients with ventilation disorder ( P gt; 0. 05 ) . The logistic regression analysis indicated that cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB) was an absolute risk factor ( P lt; 0. 05) . Conclusions The incidence of ventilation disorder in patients with cardiac disease is quite high. Severe pulmonary ventilation disorder is the significant cause of giving up surgery, but may be not the absolute contraindication of cardiac surgery.
Abstract： Objective To evaluate prediction validation of Sino System for Coronary Operative Risk Evaluation （SinoSCORE） on in-hospital mortality in adult heart surgery patients in West China Hospital.?Methods?We included clinical records of 2 088 consecutive adult patients undergoing heart surgery in West China Hospital from January 2010 to May 2012, who were also included in Chinese Adult Cardiac Surgical Registry.We compared the difference of preoperative risk factors for the patients between Chinese Adult Cardiac Surgical Registry and West China Hospital. SinoSCORE was used to predict in-hospital mortality of each patient and to evaluate the discrimination and calibration of SinoSCORE for the patients.?Results?Among the 2 088 patients in West China Hospital, there were 168 patients （8.05%） undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG）, 1 884 patients （90.23%） undergoing heart valve surgery, and 36 patients （1.72%） undergoing other surgical procedures. There was statistical difference in the risk factors including hyperlipemia, stroke, cardiovascular surgery history, and kidney disease between the two units.The observed in-hospital mortality was 2.25% （47/2 088）. The predicted in-hospital mortality calculated by SinoSCORE was 2.35% （49/2 088） with 95% confidence interval 2.18 to 2.47. SinoSCORE was able to predict in-hospital mortality of the patients with good discrimination （Hosmer Lemeshow test: χ2=3.164, P=0.582） and calibration （area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.751 with 95% confidence interval 0.719 to 0.924）. Conclusion SinoSCORE is an accurate predictor in predicting in-hospital mortality in adult heart surgery patients who are mainly from southwest China
Objective To study palliative surgical strategies for patients with complex congenital heart diseases， and improve their clinical outcomes and survival rate.?Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 95 patients with complex congenital heart diseases who underwent palliative surgical repair in Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College，Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2004 to May 2011. There were 68 male patients and 27female patients with their age ranging from 1 month to 37 years. Modified Blalock-Taussig shunt （B-T shunt） was performed in 12 patients， modified Brock’s procedure in 23 patients， bidirectional Glenn procedure in 55 patients and pulmonary artery banding in 5 patients. Surgical strategies and influential factors of treatment outcomes were analyzed.?Results There were 10 in-hospital death with the overall mortality of 10.5% （10/95）. All the surviving patients were discharged successfully. Main postoperative complications included low cardiac output syndrome， hypoxemia and pneumonia. All the surviving patients were followed up for 5 months to 6 years， and in New York Heart Association （NYHA） functional class ⅠorⅡduring follow-up. During follow-up， nine patients after modified Brock’s procedure received radical repair， and 6 patients after bidirectional Glenn procedure received total cavopulmonary connection.?Conclusion A considerable numberof patients with complex congenital heart diseases may miss their best timing for surgical repair， which significantlyinfluences their surgical outcomes. We need to choose best palliative surgical strategy for these patients according to their pulmonary artery development condition， heart malformation characteristics and final treatment goal.
Objective To summarize the immediate and intermediate outcomes of surgical correction on patients with tetralogy of Fallot and absent pulmonary valve (TOF/PVAB). Methods From January 1996 to August 2009, 14 patients，including 5 males and 9 females, aged 3.4±3.4 years (0.2-11.0 years) with an average weight of 12.0±6.3 kg (4-26 kg), underwent complete surgical correction in Beijing Fu Wai Cardiovascular Hospital. The right ventricular outflow tract was reconstructed with valved conduit in 4 patients, and monocusp with transannular patch was used in 10 patients. Six patients underwent pulmonary artery wall reduction, and 2 patients underwent both pulmonary artery plication and wall reduction. Results There were 2 (14.3%) perioperative deaths. Both were low bodyweight infants. One died of low cardiac output and respiratory failure, and the other died of central nervous system complications. Ten patients were followed up for an average time of 8.3±4.3 years (0.6-13.0 years). All patients followed up survived. The echocardiogram found pulmonary valvular dysfunction in 4 patients. The patients’ cardiac function were classified as New York Heart Association(NYHA) Ⅰ to Ⅱ. There was no late death or reoperation. Conclusion The immediate and intermediate outcomes of surgical correction of TOF/PVAB are good, but the function of pulmonary valves and conduit should be followed-up closely.
Abstract： Objective To study the molecular mechanism of pathologic states related to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and screen the differential proteins from the serum before and after CPB in the open heart surgery patients. Methods By the twodimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE), we took the blood samples from each of the sixteen open heart surgery patients 30 minutes before CPB, 1 hour after CPB, and 24 hours after CPB. The protein spots were analyzed by the PDQuest image analysis software and the differential protein spots were identified by matrixassisted laser desorption/ionizationtime of flightmass spectrometry (MALDITOF-MS). Then, enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the expression level of serum amyloid A protein (SAA) in the serum of healthy people and the enrolled patients before and after CPB. Results Through 2DE in combination with massspectrometry, 7 proteins altered in expression were identified, including SAA, haptoglobin (HPT), leucinerich alpha2-glycoprotein (A2GL), hemoglobin subunit beta (HBB), serine/threonineprotein phosphatase 2A -regulatory subunit B″ subunit gamma (P2R3C), transthyretin (TTHY), and T-complex protein 11-like protein2 (T11L2). ELISA analysis showed that SAA levels in healthy people and the open heart surgery patients 30 minutes before CPB were not statistically different (t=-1.955, P=0.056), while the SAA level rose from 54.47±48.32 μg/ml 30 min before CPB to 1 017.78±189.92 μg/ml 24 hours after CPB in the serum of open heart surgery patients． Conclusion The results of this pilot study illustrate that SAA, HPT, A2GL, HBB, P2R3C, TTHY and T11L2 may be the molecule markers of pathologic state related to CPB. Acute phase reaction happens intensively after CPB in human body.
Objective To summarize the surgical experience of supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection(S-TAPVC) and study the surgical technique and outcomes for S -TAPVC. Methods Eightysix patients with S-TAPVC underwent the surgical repair from May 1985 to December 2007. There were 49 males and 37 females. The patients aged from 7 months to 35 years (mean 9.6 years) and weighed from 4.9 kg to 68.0 kg (mean 23.8 kg). The patients were divided into three groups by the approach for the anastomosis. There were 20 patients in groupⅠthrough the right atrium incision, 49 patients in group Ⅱ through the right and left atrium incisions and 17 patients in group Ⅲ through the top of the left atrium incision. The interrupt continuous anastomosis between the common pulmonary venous and the left atrium was used in all patients. The enlarged atrial septal defect(ASD) was repaired with autopericardium. The vertical vein was ligated if the postoperative left atrial pressure was less than 15 mm Hg. But the vertical vein was opened or just partialy ligated if the postoperative left atrial pressure was more than 15 mm Hg. Results There was no early operative death. The postoperative left atrial pressure in three groups were 9.3±3.2 mm Hg, 9.9±2.9 mm Hg and 11.6±3.8 mm Hg, respectively. The cases with open or just partly ligated vertical vein in three groups were 0 case （0%）, 7 cases (14.3%) and 2 cases (11.8%), respectively. The cases of arrhythmia in three groups were 5 cases （25.0％）, 15 cases （30.6%）and 1 case （5.9%）. The severely low cardiac output syndrome occurred in 2 patients and reoperation for bleeding in 2 patients. The morbidity of arrhythmia in group Ⅲ was less than in group Ⅱ（P=0.042）. Conclusion The outcome of surgical repair for S -TAPVC is satisfactory. The anastomosis through the top of the left atrium incision has low occurrence of arrhythmia. The anastomosis through the right and left atrium incision is easy to expose and to perform surgery, especial for old children and adult patients.
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of primary malignant tumors of the left atrium and the late results of surgical treatment. Methods The clinical experience with surgical treatment of 13 primary malignant tumors of left atrium was analyzed retrospectively. Complete resection of malignant tumor was achieved in 7 cases(53.8％ )，and subtotal resection was achieved in 3 cases(23.0％), only biopsy was performed in 2 patients(15.4％ )because of extensive metastasis of tumor. Heart transplantation was performed in 1 case(7.7％). Results There was no hospital death. The pathological diagnosis was undifferentiated sarcoma in 5 cases, leiomyosarcoma in 2 cases, malignant transformation of myxoma in 2 cases, angiosarcoma in 1 case, fibrosarcoma in 1 case, malignant fibrous histocytoma in 1 case and malignant hemangiopericytoma in 1 case. There were 11 patients followedup for 3 months to 65 months and showed 9 late death due to recurrence or metastasis. There was 2 patients lost of follow-up. Conclusion Primary malignant tumors of the left atrium should be resected to relieve symptoms caused by local tumor growth. Surgery provides control of primary tumor and allows the potential for cure or longterm survival with effective adjuvant therapy. The prognosis of these patients is still poor.
