RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the risk factors of ischemic stroke after coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) in elderly(≥75 years old)patients, establish a risk prediction model and evaluate it.Methods:From January 2015 to September 2021, a total of 1 553 elderly patients with coronary artery disease who were admitted to Beijing Anzhen Hospital for coronary artery bypass grafting were included retrospectively. Among which 1 121(72%) cases were males, with a median age of 77( IQR 75, 78) years. Clinical data were collected and univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to explore the risk factors of ischemic stroke after CABG in elderly patients. After the establishment of risk prediction model, we constructed the nomogram, and tested the discrimination and calibration of the model. Results:All patients underwent CABG, there were 35 patients with ischemic stroke after operation, with an incidence of 2.25%(35/1 553). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes( OR=2.61, 95% CI: 1.31-5.32), old myocardial infarction( OR=3.62, 95% CI: 1.61-7.63), systolic blood pressure( OR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04) and vertebral artery stenosis( OR=1.01, 95% CI: 1.00-1.02) were independent risk factors for postoperative cerebral infarction in patients undergoing CABG. The model was presented by a nomogram, and the model discrimination was evaluated by ROC curve. The area under the curve( AUC) was 0.757, indicating a optimal discrimination. Hosmer- Lemeshow test of goodness of fit was performed to evaluate the model calibration( χ2=6.209, P=0.624). Conclusion:Diabetes mellitus, old myocardial infarction, systolic blood pressure and vertebral artery stenosis are independent risk factors for ischemic stroke in elderly patients after CABG. The established risk prediction model has optimal discrimination and calibration.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the perioperative and follow-up data of carotid artery stenting (CAS)+ coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and CABG alone, and to assess the safety and efficacy of CAS in the treatment of severe stenosis of the carotid artery in combination with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 700 CABG patients combined asymptomatic carotid artery severe stenosis at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, and Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 was performed. According to whether or not underwent CAS treatment, they were divided into the CAS-CABG group(116 cases)and the CABG-only group(584 cases). The mean age of the CAS-CABG group was (64.8±7.3) years, and all of them underwent unilateral CAS surgery only; the mean age of the CABG only group was (65.5±7.6) years. The main results of the patients in the two groups were compared at 30 days after the operation and follow-up period.Results:The early postoperative stroke rate was significantly lower in the CAS-CABG group(2.6% vs. 9.1%, P=0.02), while the combined procedure did not increase the rates of mortality and adverse events during follow-up. Subgroup analysis revealed that there was no significant difference in stroke rates between the two procedures for asymptomatic unilateral carotid artery stenosis, advanced age, history of atrial fibrillation, and history of stroke were independent risk factors for early stroke in CABG for asymptomatic unilateral carotid artery stenosis. Conclusion:CAS-CABG is safe and effective in the treatment of coronary artery disease combined with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, and can reduce the incidence of early postoperative stroke in patients. CABG patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis should be rationally screened for prophylactic CAS to reduce the risk of postoperative stroke in these patients.
