Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary stent implantation (PCI) in the treatment of patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCA). Methods Databases including The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2012), PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP were electronically searched from inception to September 2012 for randomized controlled trials on the effectiveness and safety of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus percutaneous coronary stent implantation (PCI) for ULMCA; References of the included studies were also retrieved. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality of the included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0. Results Four studies were included involving 1 611 cases, of which, 802 cases are in the CABG group, while 809 cases were in the PCI group. The results of meta-analysis showed that: comparing with PCI, CABG significantly reduced the postoperative repeat revascularization rate (OR=0.45, 95%CI 0.31 to 0.66, Plt;0.000 1), but there was no significant difference between the two groups in reducing the myocardial infarction incidence (OR=1.28, 95%CI 0.47 to 3.48, P=0.63), mortality rate (OR=1.36, 95%CI 0.80 to 2.34, P=0.26), and the incidence of major adverse cardio-cerebral vascular events (OR=0.92, 95%CI 0.66 to 1.28, P=0.61). Conclusion This study indicates that CABG is superior to PCI in reducing postoperative rate of target vessel revascularization. But CABG and PCI are alike in reducing myocardial infarction incidence, mortality rate, and the incidence of major adverse cardio-cerebral vascular events. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusion needs to be verified by more high quality RCTs.

Objective To explore the effect of endovascular treatment guided by ultrasonography combined with portosystemic shunts on the patients with Budd-Chiari Syndrome （BCS）.Methods The clinical data of 136 patients with BCS treated by balloon angioplasty and stent implantation guided by Doppler ultrasonography in our hospital from January 1995 to January 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.After balloon angioplasty,53 patients were treated by inferior vena cava （IVC） stent implantation and 31 patients with hepatic venous occlusion underwent portosystemic shunts （PSSs） at one week after endovascular treatment.The long-and short-term effects after treatment were studied.Results After endovascular procedures,the IVC pressure of patients significantly decreased （P＜0.01）,while IVC diameter, flow velocity in the lesion,and right atrial pressure of patients showed significant increase（P＜0.01）.Slight heart dysfunction appeared in 13 cases of patients.After shunting,acute pancreatitis occurred in 3 cases, and 1 patient died of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage on the 10 d after PSSs.Doppler ultrasonography for IVC and shunt vessels showed：the swollen liver and spleen lessened on 3d after endovascular procedures.The swollen liver lessened 2-7cm （mean 5.5cm）,swollen spleen lessened 3-8cm （mean 5.8cm）, and the time of ascites disappearance was 3-60d （mean 14d）.All the patients were followed up for 1 month to 15 years with an average of 3 years.Restenosis of the distal part of stent was found in 1 patient in 2 years after operation, hepatic vein occlusion occurred in 1 case in 1 year after treatment,hepatocellular carcinoma occurred in 1 patient in 3 years after stent implantation,and 1 patient died of C type hepatitis after 1 year,and 5 out of 6 cases of patients with infertility had babies after 1 year.All patients had no stent migration or occlusion of shunts and the symptoms of portal hypertension were obviously relieved.Conclusions Endovascular treatment guided by Doppler ultrasonography is a convenient,safe,and effective method for BCS.Portosystemic shunts are commended to patients with hepatic venous occlusions.The above mentioned methods provide a feasible and effective means for IVC stenosis and short segment occlusion with hepatic vein occlusion of BCS.
Abstract: Objective To evaluate myocardial protection effect of different myocardial protective strategies for patients undergoing double valve replacement （DVR） . Methods From Jun. 2005 to Dec. 2005, 32 patients with predominant aortic valve stenosis undergoing DVR in Xinqiao Hospital were included in this study. These patients were randomly divided into four groups with 8 patients in each group： （1） antegrade perfusion group：Cold-blood cardioplegia was delivered antegradely through aortic root, and mitral valve replacement （MVR）was performed. Then cold-blood cardioplegia was delivered antegradely through left and right coronary ostia, and aortic valve replacement （AVR） was performed； （2）retrograde perfusion group：Cold-blood cardioplegia was delivered retrogradely and intermittently through coronary sinus, and DVR was performed； （3）antegrade＋retrograde perfusion group：The route of cold-blood cardioplegic infusion was antegrade during MVR procedure first and then retrograde during AVR procedure；and （4）beating heart group：Oxygenated blood from cardiopulmonary bypass machine was delivered retrogradely and continuously through coronary sinus, and DVR was performed with beating heart. Early clinical outcomes were observed. Serum cardiac troponin I （cTnI） was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. Serum creatine kinase-MB （CK-MB） and myocardial lactic acid release rate were measured by Hitachi7150 Automatic Chemistry Analyzer. Myocardial mitochondria malondialdehyde （MDA） level was measured through thiobarbituric acid reagent species analysis. Results All the 32 patients survived their surgery and were discharged successfully. Myocardial lactic acid release rate at 80 min after aortic cross-clamping, serum cTnI and CK-MB on the first postoperative day, myocardial mitochondria MDA levels of beating heart group were 13.59%±6.27%,（1.17±0.25） ng/ml, （56.43±16.50） U/L and（2.18±1.23） nmol/（ng.prot）respectively, all significantly lower than those of retrograde perfusion group ［（33.49%±8.29%, （1.82±0.58 ）ng/ml, （78.31±21.27） U/L （5.07±2.35） nmol/（ng.prot），P＜0.05］ and antegrade＋retrograde perfusion group［20.87%±7.22%, （1.49±0.23） ng/ml,（66.67±19.13） U/L,（4.34±1.73） nmol/（ng.prot），P＜0.05］, but not statistically different from those of antegrade perfusion group ［18.83%±5.97%, （1.41±0.32） ng/ml, （63.21±37.52） U/L, （3.46±1.62） nmol/ （ng.prot），P＞0.05］. Conclusion All the four myocardial protective strategies are effective myocardial protection methods for DVR patients. Continuous retrograde perfusion with beating heart and intermittent antegrade perfusion can provide better myocardial protection, and therefore are preferred for DVR patients. The combination of antegrade and retrograde perfusion is easy to administer and does not negatively influence surgical procedures. Retrograde perfusion is also effective as it takes only a short time.
Objective To compare the early compl ications of carotid stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in treatment of carotid artery stenosis. Methods Between January 2005 and December 2007, 63 patients with carotid artery stenosis were treated with CEA in 36 cases (CEA group) and with CAS in 27 cases (CAS group). There were 42 males and 21 females with an average age of 67.5 years (range, 52-79 years). The locations were the left side in 28 cases and the rightside in 35 cases. The carotid stenosis was 60%-95% (mean, 79%). The major cl inical symptoms were stroke and transient ischemic attack. The cranial CT showed old cerebral infarction in 24 cases, lacunar infarction in 22 cases, and no obvious abnormal change in 17 cases. The encephalon, heart, and local compl ications were compared between 2 groups within 7 days after operation. Results In CEA group, encephalon compl ications occurred in 3 cases (8.3%), heart compl ications in 2 cases (5.6%), and local compl ications in 5 cases (13.9%); while in CAS group, encephalon compl ications occurred in 8 cases (29.6%), heart compl ications in 1 case (3.7%), and local compl ications in 3 cases (11.1%). The encephalon compl ication ratio of CAS group was significantly higher than that of CEA group (χ2=4.855, P=0.028); and there was no significant difference in other compl ications ratios between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion CEA is the first choice to treat carotid artery stenosis.
