  • Pulse Indicated Continuous Cardiac Output for Low Cardiac Output Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

    ObjectiveTo analyze the significance of application of pulse indicated continuous cardiac output (PICCO) as hemodynamic monitoring for low cardiac output patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operation. Method We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 110 patients conducted non-extracorporeal circulation CABG operation in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between June 2013 and October 2014. The patient were divided into two groups including a PICCO applied group and a non-PICCO applied group. There were 49 patients including 29 males and 20 females at average age of 60.80±9.34 years in the PICCO group. There were 61 patients with 37 males and 24 females at age of 62.22±10.41 years in the non-PICCO group. We compared the treatment effects between the two groups. ResultsComparing to the non-PICCO group, the PICCO group had shorter average days of postoperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) usage (t=2.155, P=0.039), less usage rate of endotracheal reintubation (χ2=5.098, P=0.039), shorter average postoperative mechanical ventilation time (t=2.087, P=0.044), less occurrence rate of cardiac arrhythmia (χ2=4.011, P=0.045), less occurrence rate of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) (χ2=5.075, P=0.035), shorter days in ICU (t=2.141, P=0.040) and in-hospital time (t=2.061 P=0.048). During monitoring, the PICCO group had slower average heart rate, higher average arterial pressure, lower blood lactate, greater oxygenation and greater left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) than those in the non-PICCO group. ConclusionThe application of PICCO reduces occurrence of postoperative complications for low cardiac output patients with post coronary artery bypass grafting operation, increases cure rate.

  • Impact of Perioperative Use of Clopidogrel on Coronary Bypass Grafting Patients: A Meta-Analysis

    Objective To systematically evaluate impact of perioperative use of clopidogrel on coronary bypass grafting (CABG) patients for anti-platelet treatment, in order to provide evidence for the rational drug use of such patients in the perioperative period. Methods PubMed, EMbase, HighWire, CENTRAL and its affiliated clinical trial registered data center, CBM and CNKI were electronically searched from 2003 to November, 2012. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized clinical trials on perioperative use of clopidogrel of CABG patients were collected. References of included studies were also retrieved. Two reviewers independently screened studies according to exclusion and inclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results 18 studies (including 10 RCTs and 8 non-randomized clinical trials) involving 14 592 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: a) Among 10 included RCTs, preoperative use of clopidogrel for anti-platelet treatment reduced the incidence of myocardial infarction obviously, compared with the blank control group (RR=0.63, 95%CI 0.48 to 0.83, P=0.000 9), but there is no significant difference between the two groups in blood loss amount within 24 hours after operation (MD=130, 95%CI –6.21 to 266.22, P=0.06), the number of reoperation patients because of bleeding (RR=1.42, 95%CI 0.92 to 2.20, P=0.12), and risk of postoperative short-term death (RR=1.19, 95%CI 0.89 to 1.58, P=0.24); b) Among 8 non-randomized clinical trials, there was no significant difference between the two groups in reducing the incidence of myocardial infarction (RR=0.83, 95%CI 0.30 to 2.26, P=0.71), but preoperative use of clopidogrel for anti-platelet treatment significantly increased blood loss amount within 24 hours after operation (MD=82.42, 95%CI 35.18 to 129.66, P=0.000 6), the number of reoperation patients because of bleeding (RR=1.71, 95%CI 1.07 to 2.75, P=0.03), and risk of postoperative short-term death (RR=1.89, 95%CI 1.15 to 3.12, P=0.01). Conclusion Current evidence shows that, perioperative use of clopidogrel can reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction, but doctors should consider cautiously the increased risk of bleeding, re-operation and postoperative short-term death. There is contradiction between the results of RCTs and those of non-randomized clinical trials, which may result from the argument intensity, quantity and sample size bias of the included studies. The above conclusion should be proved by large-scale high-quality RCT results in future.

  • Effectiveness and Safety of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting for Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery: A Systematic Review

    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.

  • Comparative Study on Adaptive Support Ventilation and Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation in Ventilation Weaning in Patients after Fast-Track Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

    Objective To investigate whether the respiratory support weaning based on adaptive support ventilation ( ASV) could reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation in patients after fast-track coronary artery bypass grafting ( CABG) . Methods After CABG during the same fast-track general anesthesia, 46 patients were randomly assigned to an ASV group or a synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation ( SIMV) group as control. The duration of mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic parameters, and airway pressures were recorded. Meanwhile, the variables and the number of the arterial blood gas were recorded. Results The duration of mechanical ventilation was shorter in the ASV group than that in the control group [ 196( 152-286) ] min vs. 253( 196-498) min, P lt;0. 05] . The duration of ICUstay was shorterin the ASV group than that in the control group [ ( 14. 5 ±0. 7) h vs. ( 16. 8 ±0. 4 ) h, P lt;0. 01] . Fewer arterial blood analyses were performed in the ASV group than those in the control group [ 5 ( 4-7) vs.7( 6-9) , P lt; 0. 05] . Conclusions A ventilation weaning protocol based on ASV is practicable. It may accelerate tracheal extubation, shorten the length of ICU stay, and simplify ventilation management in patients after fast-track CABG.

  • Characteristics of Extracellular Matrix Gene Expression in Saphenous Vein of Patients with End-stage Renal Disease

    Abstract: Objective To investigate the extracellular matrix (ECM) gene expression profile of saphenous vein (SV) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Sixty-eight patients who were diagnosed as coronary artery disease by coronary angiography and admitted to Department of Cardiovascular Surgery,Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from July 2004 to December 2010 were enrolled in this study. According to whether or not they had preoperative ESRD history,all the 68 patients were divided into 2 groups,the ESRD group with 30 ESRD patients who needed maintenance hemodialysis,and the control group with 38 patients without preoperative renal disease. Preoperative clinical data of all the patients were collected in detail. SV samples were obtained at the time of CABG. Microarray,immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were used to investigate the expression profile of ECM genes of SV in ESRD patients undergoing CABG. Results There was no statistical difference in preoperative clinical variables between the 2 groups except the variables which were directly related to their kidney disease (P>0.05). There were 16 genes that were up-regulated at least 3-fold and 3 genes that were down-regulated at least 3-fold in the ECM gene expression profile of SV in the ESRD group patients before CABG. The expressions of matrix metalloproteinases-2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) of the ESRD group were significantly higher than those of the control group (2.60±0.50 vs. 0.70±0.16,1.80±0.40 vs. 0.60±0.15,P<0.01). The expressions of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) of the ESRD group were significantly lower than those of the control group (0.60±0.19 vs. 2.20±0.30,0.90±0.28 vs. 2.40±0.70,P< 0.05). Conclusion A variety  of ESRD-related risk factors of cardiovascular diseases may severely influence on the balance of ECM gene expression of SV before CABG,and the resulting imbalance is a risk factor to aggravate SV graft disease after CABG.

  • Treatment Strategy for Patients with Subacute Myocardial Infarction and Severe Ischemic and Functional Mitral Regurgitation

    Objective To investigate appropriate treatment strategy and timing for patients with subacute myocardial infarction and severe ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR). Methods A total of 89 patients with subacute myocardial infarction and severe IMR underwent surgical treatment from January 2005 to December 2011 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. There were 66 male patients and 23 female patients with their mean age of 64 (55-73) years. All the patients received only coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) after 3 months of medication treatment without specific management for their IMR. Echocardiography was examined before medication treatment,preoperatively and 6 months after CABG to analyze their IMR degree and measure left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD),left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Results There was no surgery-related death,perioperative myocardial ischemia or other severe postoperative complication. Eighty-one patients (91.0%) were followed up for 6-60 months. At 6 months after CABG,mitral regurgitation area (3.1±1.3 cm2 vs. 5.6±2.3 cm2),LVEDD (51.3±4.2 mm vs. 54.3±5.5 mm) and LVESD (31.7±3.9 mm vs. 34.6±4.3 mm) were significantly decreased than preoperative values (P<0.05),but LVEF was not statistically different from preoperative value (59.1%±3.9% vs. 58.9%±5.6%,P>0.05). From the third year during follow-up,all the patients received annual CT examination of their coronary artery,and no significant graft stenosis (graft stenosis>50%) was found. Conclusion With appropriately delayed CABG and right medication treatment,patients with subacute myocardial infarction and severe IMR may no longer need concomitant surgical management for their IMR, which can decrease surgical risks and reduce treatment cost.

  • Comparison of Milrinone, Phenoxybenzamine, and Mixture of Nitroglycerin and Verapamil for the Prevention and Treatment of Human Radial Artery Spasm

    Objective To compare milrinone (MIN), Phenoxybenzamine (PHE),and mixture of nitroglycerin and verapamil(NVC) for the prevention and treatment of human radial artery spasm. Methods Residuary radial arteries from 30 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using autologous radial artery from March to September of 2012 in General Hospital of Shenyang Military District were collected. All the artery specimens were cut into 60 vessel rings of 3 mm in width and hanged in the Organ-Bath. Using a random number table,all the vessel rings were divided into 4 groups:PHE group,NVC group,MIN group and blank group (control group). Firstly,20 vessel rings were used for spasm relaxation experiment with 5 rings in each group. Phenylephrine was added into the Organ-Bath to reach final concentration of 10-3 mol/L in order to cause vessel rings spasm. PHE of 1 mmol/L,NVC of both 30 μmol/L,MIN of 30 μmol/L and Krebs-Ringer’s solution were added respectively into above groups to compare the relaxant effect of these vasodilators on radial artery spasm. Secondly,the other 40 vessel rings were used for spasm prevention experiment with 10 rings in each group. All the 40 vessel rings were dipped in above 4 groups. After 30 minutes,phenylephrine was added to the Organ-Bath to reach final concentration of 10-3 mol/L. Time-dependent constriction of the vessel rings were compared to examine the prevention effect of these vasodilators on radial artery spasm. Results In the spasm relaxation experiment, vessel ring spasm relaxed most quickly in NVC group (P< 0.01). Vessel rings in MIN group relaxed more slowly but steadily (P< 0.05). Vessel rings in PHE group relaxed most slowly (P<0.01). And there was no relaxation in the control group. In the spasm prevention experiment,vessel rings in the control group contracted (spasm) 100% immediately after phenylephrine administration. Vessel rings in MIN group contracted immediately after phenylephrine administration too,but slower than the control group(P<0.01). Vessel rings in NVC group did not contract right after phenylephrine administration,but the sedentary tension of these vessel rings gradually increased 120 minutes after phenylephrine administration,and vessel ring contraction reached 46.89% 240 minutes after phenylephrine administration. There was no vessel ring contraction in PHE group. Conclusions All the vasodilators in our experiment are effective for the prevention and treatment of radial artery spasm to different degree,but each medication has its own characteristics,vasodilatation result and time-dependent effect. NVC is most effective to dilate radial artery which has been in spasm state, while radial artery pretreated by PHE is least to become spasm after being stimulated.

  • Clinical Outcomes of Plication of Left Ventricular Aneurysm During Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

      Abstract: Objective To evaluate clinical outcomes of plication of left ventricular aneurysm during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Methods A total of 114 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and concomitant surgical treatment for left ventricular aneurysm from January 2007 to January 2011 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were included in this study. All the patients were divided into 2 groups according to the different surgical procedures they received. In groupⅠ, there were 76 patients including 57 males and 19 females with their average age of (63.4±7.8) years who underwent CABG and left ventricular aneurysmectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass on the  non-beating heart. In groupⅡ, there were 38 patients including 32 males and 6 females with their average age of (60.6±8.9) years who underwent OPCAB and plication of the left ventricular aneurysm on the beating heart. Preoperative data were not statistically different between the 2 groups except that the percentage of the left ventricular aneurysm to the left ventricle  of groupⅠwas significantly larger than that of groupⅡ(42.2%±13.6% vs. 26.5%±12.3%, t=5.499, P=0.000). Postoperative clinical outcomes and morbidities were compared between the 2 groups, and all the patients were followed up for 6 months. Results There was 2 in-hospital death in groupⅠ, one for postoperative refractory ventricular arrhythmia, and the other for severe pneumonia. There was 1 in-hospital death in groupⅡ because of perioperative myocardial infarction. Postoperative thoracic drainage, incidence of reexploration for bleeding, mechanical ventilation time and incidence of  intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation were not statistically different between the 2 groups (P>0.05). To compare  their echocardiography outcomes at early postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge with preoperative values, left ventricular end-diastolic dimensions (LVEDD) at early postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge were both signific antly decreased than preoperative value in both groups [groupⅠ: (54.0±7.8) mm amp; (56.0±8.1) mm vs. (59.6±6.6) mm,  groupⅡ: (52.0±7.2) mm amp; (53.6±5.3) mm vs. (57.9±5.4) mm], and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at early  postoperative stage and 6 months after discharge were both significantly higher than preoperative value in both groups  (groupⅠ:43.5%±3.2% amp; 55.7%±3.7% vs. 38.0%±7.4%, groupⅡ:44.7%±2.8% amp; 57.0%±3.5% vs. 41.0%±6.6%), but there was no statistical difference in LVEDD and LVEF between the 2 groups(P>0.05). Conclusion Plication of  left ventricular aneurysm during OPCAB is a safe and effective surgical procedure, and possibly more appropriate for patients  with a smaller left ventricular aneurysm.

  • Comparison of Accuracy of Different Renal Function Measurements for Predicting Adverse Events after Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

    Objective To compare the accuracy of different renal function measurements for predicting postoperativeadverse events after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for Chinese patients. Methods Clinical data of 283 Chinese patients undergoing isolated OPCAB from January 2010 to December 2011 in the First Hospital of Peking University were retrospectively analyzed. There were 194 male and 89 female patients with their age of 65.0±9.7 years. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using Cockcroft-Gault equation,Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation respectively.Logistic multivariate regression analysis was performed to compare the accuracy of these 3 different renal function measure-ments for predicting postoperative adverse events. Results Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that preoper-ative renal dysfunction was an independent risk factor for higher postoperative morbidity,more blood transfusion,prolongedhospitalization,mechanical ventilation time and length of ICU stay. Among the different postoperative complications,preop-erative renal dysfunction was an independent risk factor for postoperative acute renal injury,gastrointestinal bleeding,new onset atrial fibrillation and low cardiac output syndrome. Among Cockcroft-Gault equation,MDRD study equationand CKD-EPI equation to calculate eGFR,CKD-EPI equation was most accurate to predict postoperative morbidity (OR=1.227),acute renal injury (OR=1.534),new onset atrial fibrillation (OR=1.184),prolonged hospitalization(OR=1.160),mechanical ventilation time (OR=1.165) and ICU stay (OR=1.151). Conclusion Preoperative renal dysfunction is an independent risk factor for postoperative adverse events after OPCAB. CKD-EPI equation is more suitable for predicting postoperative adverse events after OPCAB for Chinese patients.
