ABSTRACT
To analyze the risk factors for peri-operative mortality in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Methods: A total of 563 TAPVD patients including atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus treated in our hospital from 1996-10 to 2012-12 were retrospectively investigated. There were 219 (38.9%) male, the mean age of patients was (4.6±9.0) years and the mean body weight was (13.2±14.6) kg. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Death group, n=34 and Survival group, n=529. Risk factors for peri-operative mortality were studied by single and multi Logistic regression analysis. Results: The overall peri-operative mortality was 6.0% (34/563). Compared with Survival group, Death group had more patients≤1 year of age (P=0.008), the higher ratio of elective surgery (P=0.002), the longer cardiopulmonary bypass time (P=0.000) and longer aorta clamping time (P=0.001). Multi Logistic regression analysis presented that the age≤1 year was the independent risk factor for TAPVC peri-operative death (OR=3.802, P=0.013) and elective surgery was the protective factor for TAPVC peri-operative death (OR=0.234, P=0.027). Conclusion: The patient's age≤1 year was the independent risk factor for TAPVC peri-operative death, while elective surgery was the protective factor for TAPVC peri-operative death.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To compare the early and long-term outcomes between on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in elder female patients. Methods: A total of 763 female patients elder than 65 years of age received isolated CABG in our hospital from 1999-01 to 2008-12 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to operational method: On-pump group,n=331 and Off-pump group,n=432. The mortality at 30 days post-operation, in-hospital clinical indexes and long term mortality with MACCE as all cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and repeated revascularization were compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with On-pump group, the patients in Off-pump group had the elder age (P24h mechanical ventilation (P Conclusion: Off-pump CABG would reduce the mortality at 30 days post-operation, have less application of blood products, shorter post-operative mechanical ventilation, less early post-operative renal failure, pulmonary complications and re-exploration for bleeding. While it could not reduce the long-term mortality and MACCE occurrence.
