ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the surgical strategy of coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) for moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation(IMR), and to clarify the impact of mitral valve surgical intervention(MVS) on the long-term prognosis of such patients.Methods:The clinical data of 234 consecutive patients with moderate IMR who received CABG from January 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively included, with 184 males and 50 females. The age ranged from 29 to 78 years, with a mean of(61.5 ± 8.7) years old. According to whether MVS was performed at the same time, they were divided into CABG group(108 cases, CABG alone) and CABG+ MVS group(126 cases, CABG+ MVS at the same time). The long-term cardiac events, all-cause deaths, major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events(MACCE) and other end events were followed up. A matching queue was established by propensity matching score for statistical analysis.Results:After propensity matching score, a matching queue was established, including 78 pairs of patients. Survival analysis showed that the incidence of long-term cardiac events and postoperative new onset atrial fibrillation in CABG+ MVS group was significantly higher( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in all-cause mortality, cardiogenic mortality, and the incidence of MACCE events( P>0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that simultaneous CABG+ MVS was a risk factor for long-term cardiac events and new postoperative atrial fibrillation. The results of subgroup studies showed that for patients without tricuspid regurgitation before operation, left ventricular end diastolic diameter>55 mm, and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) ≤0.55, the probability of cardiac events after MVS at the same time of CABG was higher( P<0.05). However, patients with no tricuspid regurgitation before operation, left ventricular end diastolic diameter>55 mm, LVEF≤0.55, and left atrial diameter≥40 mm had a higher probability of atrial fibrillation after MVS at the same time of CABG( P<0.05). Conclusion:CABG can improve left ventricular remodeling in patients with moderate IMR, whether MVS intervention is performed at the same time or not, and the long-term survival rate of both is similar. CABG+ MVS in the same period can maintain a low residual reflux, but the incidence of long-term cardiac events and arrhythmias is high. The longer-term prognosis needs to be further studied. The surgical strategy of such patients should be selected individually according to the specific situation and the surgical quality in medical centers.
ABSTRACT
Objective Big endothelin-1(big ET-1) is associated with the prognosis of various cardiovascular diseases. This study is to explore the predictive value of plasma big ET-1 level for long-term outcome after mitral valvuloplasty in patients with moderate to severe chronic ischemic mitral insufficiency .Methods A total of 142 consecutive patients with moderate to severe chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valvuloplasty were enrolled at our center from January 2009 to December 2015.The clinical baseline data were collected and recorded.All patients were followed up.The mortalities and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events during the follow-up period were re-corded.Results A total of 142 patients were enrolled, with mean age of(59.4 ±8.3) years.During(51.9 ±22.6) months follow-up, 19 cases(13.4％) died and 35 cases(24.6％) had major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.Uni-variate and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that big ET-1 was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (HR=3.970, 95％CI:1.535-10.268) and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events(HR=2.754, 95％CI:1.238-6.129).In addition, left ventricular ejection fraction, pulmonary hypertension and stroke history were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality , while left ventricular ejection fraction , stroke history were independent risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.Conclusion Long-term outcomes of simultaneous coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valvuloplasty for moderate to severe ischemic mitral insufficiency are satisfactory and big ET-1 is an inde-pendent risk factor for long-term outcomes of these patients.
ABSTRACT
La regurgitación mitral isquémica (RMI) es una complicación común de la enfermedad arterial coronaria que produce insuficiencia cardíaca en un alto porcentaje de pacientes. Puede presentarse como una verdadera emergencia cuando es causada por un infarto del miocardio con ruptura del músculo papilar asociada a shock cardiogénico. La insuficiencia mitral isquémica crónica es una complicación frecuente trasel infarto agudo del miocardio, aparece aproximadamente en 20% de los casos y es mucho más probable en el infarto agudo del miocardio de localización inferior (38%) que en el anterior (10%). Es producida por una integración de varios mecanismos que influyen en su desarrollo y que básicamente están relacionados con remodelado local o global del ventrículo izquierdo, con disfunción y disincronía del mismo. Su evaluación adecuada y rápida puede influir en el éxito de su tratamiento y en el mejor pronóstico de los pacientes. Una indicación quirúrgica precoz, actuando sobre ventrículos menos remodelados, y la innovación en el arsenal de dispositivos y técnicas quirúrgicas permitirán una corrección exitosa y duradera con baja mortalidad hospitalaria. En este sentido, las nuevas exploraciones desarrolladas por la ecocardiografía han adquirido una gran importancia al permitir evaluar la severidad de la insuficiencia mitral, el grado de disfunción local o global del ventrículo izquierdo y el estado del aparato valvular mitral lo que ha hecho del método la exploración más confiable y necesaria en estos pacientes. Revisamos la utilidad y el papel del ecocardiograma en el estudio de la insuficienciamitral isquémica.
Ischemic mitral regurgitation is a common complication of coronary heart disease that leads to heart failure in a high percentage of patients. It can present as a real emergency when it is caused by a myocardial infarction with rupture of a papillary muscle resulting in cardiogenic shock. Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation is a frequent complication after a myocardial infarction in 20% of cases and it is even more frequent when the myocardial infarction is localized in the inferior wall (38%) than the anterior wall (10%). This complication is the result of the interaction of several mechanisms that are related to local or global remodeling of the left ventricle and associated left ventricle dysfunction and desynchronization. Prompt and precise evaluation can be of vital importance for successful treatment and a better prognosis. Early surgery in less remodeled ventricles, and innovation in devices and surgical techniques will lead to long-lasting successful correction with low in-hospital mortality. Therefore, new developments in echocardiography have acquired substantial significance for the evaluation of the severity of mitral insufficiency, the grade of local or global dysfunction of the left ventricle and the state of the mitral valve apparatus, rendering this method more reliable and indispensable for these patients. We reviewed the utility and role of echocardiography in the evaluation ofischemic mitral regurgitation.
