Objective To summarize the essential of perioperative therapy and improve the prognosis of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR) through analyzing 1405 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Methods From May 1997 to January 2006, 1 405 patients were treated in our hospital. On-pump CABG were performed in 825 patients, single CABG were performed in 666 patients, CABG with cardiac valvular operation in 98 patients, CABG with cardiac ventricular aneurysm resection in 55 patients, CABG with ventricular septal defect repairment in 2 patients; CABG with left atrium gelatinous tumor resection in 2 patients, CABG with ascending aorta repairment in 1 patient, and mediastinal septum tumor resection in 1 patient. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) were performed in 500 patients; single TMLR were performed in 30 patients, CABG+TMLR were performed in 50 patients. Results The number of bridge vessel was 2.9±1.0. Forty-two patients(3.0%) died of bleeding, myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome, renal failure, multiple organ failure(MOF) and so on. Various complications were occurred in 70 patients(5.0%), including bleeding, low cardiac output syndrome, myocardial infarction, renal failure and so on. All of them were recovered after treatment. There were 1 177 patients of angina in grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ (CCS) before operation, 1 154 of them (98.0%) changed in grade 0-Ⅰ (CCS) postoperatively. There were 857 patients (62.9%) in follow-up for 8.3±2.9 months postoperatively. There was no angina in 788 patients(91.9%) 6 months after surgery. The ultrasonic graphic showed that left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.66±0.10 and raised 7.9% than that before operation. The quality of life was better than before. Conclusion CABG has become the most potent routine operation in the therapy of coronary artery disease. It can extend the applications of CABG and improve the operative prognosis, if the indications are correctly mastered and the perioperative management are enhanced.
ObjectiveTo summarize our clinical experience of surgical treatment for 51 patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection (AD). MethodsClinical data of 51 patients with Stanford type A AD who received surgical treatment in Shanghai Yuanda Heart Hospital between February 2009 and January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 29 males and 22 females with their age of 35-63 (47.2±11.1)years. The diagnosis of all the patients was confirmed by enhanced CT scan and Doppler echocardiography. Surgical procedures included Bentall procedure and Sun's procedure in 29 patients, Bentall procedure, mitral valve replacement and Sun's procedure in 2 patients, ascending aorta replacement and Sun's procedure in 17 patients, valsalva sinus plasty, ascending aorta replacement and Sun's procedure in 2 patients, ascending aorta replacement (stage 1), Sun's procedure (stage 2)and endovascular exclusion of the thoracic aorta (stage 3)in 1 patient. ResultsMean operation time was 320.6±77.3 minutes, cardiopulmonary bypass time was 190.4±63.4 minutes, aortic cross-clamp time was 123.2±45.1 minutes, duration of circulatory arrest with hypothermia was 28.2±11.1 minutes, and mean length of hospital stay was 13.4±4.2 days. Two patients (3.9%)died perioperatively including 1 patient with intraoperative bleeding and another patient with delayed bleeding after operation. Postoperative complications included bleeding, paraplegia, perivalvular leak and sternal dehiscence in 1 patient respectively, and endoleak in 2 patients. Forty-nine patients were followed up for 3-48 (25.3±10.5)months and no late death occurred. ConclusionSurgical treatment is effective for patients with Stanford type A AD.
