ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the monitoring value of echocardiography for atrial septostomy during the treatment of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO).Methods:Sixteen patients underwent atrial septostomy during the treatment of ECMO in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital from Jan.2017 to Dec.2019 were included. The diameter of the ostomy, the direction of interatrial shunt, the tricuspid regurgitation degree and the pulmonary artery pressure were measured by echocardiography daily after atrial septostomy.Results:There were no significant differences in the diameter of the ostomy in 16 patients(the range of coefficient of variation 0.86%-4.77%). The direction of interatrial shunt changed gradually from right - left atrial shunt to left - right atrial shunt. Pulmonary arterial pressure decreased gradually(the range of coefficient of variation 14.70%-32.13%) as estimated by tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient.Conclusions:Atrial septostomy is an effective measure to relieve right heart pressure and improve right heart function in patients with ECMO. The echocardiography can be helpful for the monitoring of atrial septostomy.

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of HIT-antibodies in suspected HIT patients with heart diseases.Methods A single center study.We collected 242 blood samples of suspected HIT patients whose platelet count decreased after heparin application during July 1 st ,2012 to June 30th ,2016 in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital and detected the concentration of HIT antibodies , meanwhile the 4T′s score were calculated.Among the study objects , there are 206 patients received cardiac surgery , 28 received cardiac interventional therapy and 8 received drug therapy.And we divided them into HIT group (44, median age 57.5, 23 females ) and non-HIT group ( 198, median age 63.5, 87 females ) according to clinical diagnosis.Quantitative data was analyzed by independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test.Qualitative data was analyzed by Fisher′s exact test.We drew ROC curve according to the statistical analysis to determine the optimal threshold value of antibodies in diagnosis of HIT andsensitivity , specificity, negative likelihood ratio, positive likelihood ratio of the HIT antibody detection .Therefore, we can assess the value of HIT antibody detection in HIT clinical diagnosis and treatment .Moreover, we used the optimal threshold value of antibodies to testify the suspected HIT patients .Results The HIT antibody concentration of HIT group (44) and non-HIT group ( 198 ) are 3.2 ( 95% CI:1.8 -5.5 ) U/ml and 0.4 ( 95% CI:0.3 -0.4 ) U/ml, respectively.The concentration of HIT group is much higher than the non-HIT group(P<0.000).When the cut-off value of HIT-Ab is set at 0.9 U/ml, sensitivity and specificity are 93.2%and 91.9%, respectively. And negative likelihood ratio and positive likelihood ratio are 0.07 and 11.53, respectively.When the cut-off value of HIT-Ab is set at 0.6 U/ml, sensitivity and specificity are 100.0%and 73.7%.HIT-Ab and 4T′s score of ROC-AUC are 0.971 and 0.745, respectively.The diagnosis value of HIT-Ab in HIT is significantly higher than the 4T′s score ( P<0.000).Conclusions HIT antibody detection is a simple and effective auxiliary diagnostic method in HIT exclusion .And HIT antibody detection is more optimal than the 4T′s score in HIT diagnosis and treatment .

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of echocardiography in monitoring the treatment of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).Methods A total of 21 patientss were included into the present study,who were treated by ECMO due to CS in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015.The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and Tei index were measured by echocardiography before,in the middle of (flow reduced to one half)and immediately after the process of ECMO.The systolic blood pressure (SBP) and the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) were also recorded,and the parameters were compared.The differences of LVEF,Tei index,SBP and SaO2 among different phases of ECMO were compared by using one-way ANOVA and LSD-t test.The differences of heart beat rate,the diameters of left ventricle,diameters of inferior vena cava,subsidence rate of inferior vena cava,pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and central venous pressure among different phases of ECMO were also compared by paired-samples t test.Results Compared with the pre-ECMO level,the LVEF increased during and immediately after the ECMO (t=31.952,59.404,both P < 0.01),while the Tei index decreased significantly (t=34.406,58.969,both P < 0.01).Compared with the pre-ECMO level,the SBP,SaO2 and subsidence rate of inferior vena cava all increased during and immediately after the ECMO,while the diameter of left ventricle,pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and central venous pressure all decreased significantly (t=7.382,37.785,-11.286,3.294,13.923,16.971,all P < 0.01 or 0.05).In contrast,there was no significant change for the parameters of heart beat rate and diameter of inferior vena cava.Conclusion When treating CS patients with ECMO,the echocardiography can monitor the cardiac function effectively,and provide important parameters for the clinical doctors to estimate the ECMO efficacy and decide the weaning time.

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the feasibility and accuracy of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in screening patients,intraoperative guidance of occluder releasing and efficacy assessment in the patients of percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion with Watchman.Methods Ultrasonic instrument Philips iE33(proble model X7-3t) were used to measure the maximum diameter and the depth of LAA ostium in enrolled patients by TEE,and intraoperative guided puncture of interatial septum,positioning Watchman transmission system and instruction closure release under TEE,immediate evaluate the postoperative therapeutic effect and record the complications by TEE.At 45 days after implantation,patients should repeat TEE to assess the efficacy.Results Eighteen patients underwent device implantation.Seventeen patients implant successfully,except one patient can't implant device beacuse of the LAA morphologe was not suitable.There was one patient showing thrombus formation on the surface of device,one patient of LAA and the device axial angulation was 90 °.At 45 days after implantaion,16 patients were fullowed up,there were no major stroke at all.Conclusions TEE has important application value in screening of preoperative patients,intraoperative guidance of occluder releasing and efficacy assessment in the patients of percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion with Watchman.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value and misdiagnosis cause of echocardiography (UCG) and CT in aorto-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT). Methods UCG and CT of 5 patients who were diagnosed as ALVT by surgical operation during August 2010 to October 2014 in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital were reviewed and analyzed. Results By UCG, 4 cases were diagnosed as ALVT. The abnormal tunnel between aortic root and left ventricle could be clearly displayed with two dimensional echocardiography. On color Doppler flow image (CDFI), it could be clearly demonstrated that the blood flow went into aorta from left ventricle in systolic period via aortic valves and ALVT, and back to left ventricle in diastolic period via ALVT. Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) was found in 2 patients, and aortic valve reflux in 1 patient. According to Hovaquimian classification, 2/4 patients were diagnosed as ALVT of typeⅠ, and other 2 patients as ALVT of typeⅡ. One case was misdiagnosed as left coronary artery-left ventricle fistula. By CT, 2 cases were diagnosed as ALVT and 1 case was misdiagnosed as left coronary artery-left ventricle fistula. Conclusion The combination of UCG and CT is a reliable technique in the diagnosis of ALVT, which has significance in therapeutic strategy making and prognosis prediction.
