RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the impact of age and diabetes mellitus (DM) on the ultrastructure of radial artery (RA).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From June 2009 to December 2010, 64 patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with autologous RA: 14 patients aged beyond 65 years without DM [9 male patients and 5 female patients, age (70 ± 4) years] and 18 patients aged beyond 65 years with DM [11 male patients and 7 female patients, age (68 ± 5) years], 20 patients aged under 60 years without DM [13 male patients and 7 female patients, age (53 ± 5) years] and 12 patients aged under 60 years with DM [7 male patients and 5 female patients, age (51 ± 6) years]. Four groups were subjected to routine electron microscopic examination and transmission electron microscopic examination.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were significant differences in percentage of endothelial denudation among four groups according to scanning electron microscopic evaluation (χ² = 18.082, P = 0.000). To compare with each other, there were significant differences between DM elderly patients and non-DM elderly patients, also between DM young patients and non-DM young patients according to scanning electron microscopic evaluation. There were no significant differences between DM elderly patients and DM young patients, also between non-DM elderly patients and non-DM young patients. Foam cells and the tendency of smooth muscle cells moving to intima could be visualized in DM patients according to transmission electron microscope. According to semiquantitative electron microscopic evaluation, non-DM young patients got the lower total scores than DM young patients (1.32 ± 0.20 vs. 4.38 ± 0.30) while non-DM elderly patients got the lower total scores than DM elderly patients (1.43 ± 0.20 vs. 4.67 ± 0.30). According to factorial design, there were significant differences between DM patients and non-DM patients (F = 41.22, P = 0.000). There were no differences between elderly patients and young patients (F = 1.24, P = 0.270). There is no interaction (F = 1.05, P = 0.309) between age and DM.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>After preoperative assessment with modified Allen's test and Doppler analysis, RA used as graft in the elderly has similar quality and function with young patients, and it may lead to a high patency in long term. However, the quality of RA in patients with DM is in bad condition, and further research on patency needs to be done.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effects of left atrial plication (LAP) in patients with giant left atrium (GLA) associated with mitral valve disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-three patients with left atrial diameter (LAD) over 8.0 cm were enrolled. All cases underwent valve replacement and LAP between November 1993 and November 2004 were studied retrospectively. According to New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, 15 belonged to class III, 8 to class IV. Mitral valve replacements were performed in 18 patients (mechanical valve in 17 and biological valve in 1), double value replacement in 5, tricuspid valve plasty (TVP) in 15, atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation in 2.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Low output syndrome happened in 3, respiratory failure in 2. The early death was in 3 cases (operative mortality 13%). The causes of death were: heart failure in 2 cases and stroke in 1. LAD was decreased significantly in patients after operation.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>LAP has considerably beneficial effects on improvement of postoperative respiratory and cardiac function, reducing operative mortality. Atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation is effective in patients with GLA associated with valve disease. It may be recommended for patients with GLA during mitral valve surgery, especially for patients with LAD > 8.0 cm.</p>
