RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To summarize the application experience and clinical effect of radial artery in total arterial coronary revascularization (TAR) in elderly patients.@*METHODS@#Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients who underwent TAR at the University of Hong Kong Shenzhen Hospital from July 1, 2020 to May 30, 2022. Patients were divided into ≥ 65-year-old group and < 65-year-old group according to age. The radial artery blood flow, diameter, intimal integrity and Allen test were evaluated by ultrasound before operation. The distal ends of radial artery were collected for pathological examination during operation. Coronary artery CT angiography (CTA) was examined postoperatively and follow up. The safety and reliability of ultrasonic assessment of radial artery and application of radial artery in elderly patients with TAR were summarized and analyzed.@*RESULTS@#A total of 101 patients received TAR, including 35 cases aged ≥ 65 years old, 66 cases aged < 65 years old; 78 cases used bilateral radial arteries, and 23 cases used unilateral radial arteries. 4 cases of bilateral internal mammary arteries. All the proximal ends of the radial artery were anastomosed to the proximal end of the ascending aorta, 34 cases were performed of "Y" grafts, and 4 cases were sequential anastomoses. There was no in-hospital death and perioperative cardiovascular events. Perioperative cerebral infarction occurred in 3 patients. 1 patients was reoperated for bleeding. Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) assistance was used in 21 patients. Poor wound healing occurred in 2 cases and healed well after debridement. Follow-up of 2 to 20 months after discharge showed no internal mammary artery occlusion and 4 radial artery occlusions; no major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) occurred, and the survival rate was 100%. There was no significant difference in the above perioperative complications and follow-up endpoints between the two age groups.@*CONCLUSIONS@#By adjusting the order of bypass anastomosis and optimizing the preoperative evaluation method, radial artery combined with internal mammary artery can obtain better outcome early in TAR, and can be safely and reliably applied to elderly patients.

Objective To retrospective study the morphological features of normal aortic arch in population of Tianjin area by computed tomography angiography (CTA). Methods From Jan 2016 to Dec 2016, 142 volunteers undergoing thoracic aorta CTA in our institution were retrospectively reviewed. In each patient, 10 measurements were made in GE AW4.6 workstation, including diameters, distances, and angles of branch vessels of aortic arch. SPSS statistical software was used to analyze data. Results The diameter of the origin of brachiocephalic trunk (BCT) D1 was (15.2 ± 3.0) mm, left common carotid artery (LCCA) D2 was (11.8±2.2) mm and left subclavian artery (LSA) D3 was (13.6±1.9) mm. The distance between the BCT and the LCCA (E1) was (4.0±2.5) mm, between the LCCA and the LSA (E2) was (8.2±3.7) mm. The angle between the BCT and arch (α) was 29.5°±14.4°, between the LCCA and arch (β) was 40.3°±17.5°, between the LSA and archγwas 57.9°±21.6°. The angle formed by BCT, LCCA, and LSA(Φ) was 144.1°±10.1°. The distance between center of LCCA ostia and line between center of ostia of BCT and LSA (L) was (4.5±1.2 )mm. Values of D2 and D3 were larger in male than that in female. In the three age groups of 19-40 y, 41-60 y and ≥61 y, values of D1 increased gradually, while α and γdecreased gradually. When in the two age groups of 41-60 y and≥61 y, values of D2, D3, E2 and L were significantly larger than those in the age group of 19-40 y, whileΦwas smaller (P<0.05). Conclusion The data obtained by this study on the diameter and angle of branching vessels arising from the normal aortic arch may provide support for various studies of endovascular repair of aortic arch.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of perioperative period D-dimer and tissue factor (TF)-1208 D/I gene polymorphism on the long-term prognosis of patients with off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods Retrospective analysis of the case data of the first OPCABG patients admitted to Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from May 2015 to May 2016 were enrolled. The general data, operation time, bypass number, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), flow rate of 24-hour pleural effusion, intraoperative heparin dosage, combined anticoagulant and antiplatelet time, and the time of postoperative ventilator were measured. The blood biochemical indexes of 1, 4, 7, 14 days and 1, 2, 3 months after operation, perioperative complications, the level of D-dimer in the patients with different TF-1208 D/I gene polymorphism, and prognosis of 1-year follow-up were recorded. The risk factors of recurrent angina 1 year after operation was analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. Results The level of plasma D-dimer was increased continuously after OPCABG, and reached a peak at 1 month after operation [1.94 (1.07, 2.70) mg/L], then decreased, and decreased to preoperative level 3 months after operation [0.20 (0.10, 0.45) mg/L]. The level of D-dimer in TF-1208 I I genotype was significantly higher than that in TF-1208 DD genotype and TF-1208 D/I genotype group at 14 days and 1 month after operation [mg/L: 4.17 (1.54, 5.09) vs. 1.91 (1.07, 2.26), 1.02 (0.91, 1.88) at 14 days; 5.12 (2.41, 6.32) vs. 1.94 (1.18, 2.70), 1.62 (0.22,1.88) at 1 month, all P < 0.05]. The results of 1-year follow-up showed that 25 patients with recurrent angina pectoris without the occurrence of myocardial infarction. The proportion of recurrent angina pectoris in TF-1208 I I genotype was significantly higher than that in TF-1208 DD genotype and TF-1208 D/I genotype group (χ2= 0.197, P = 0.004). Logistic regression analysis showed that LVEF< 0.50 [odds ratio (OR) = 6.482, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.365-18.763, P = 0.015] and TF-1208 I I genotype (OR = 8.864, 95%CI = 1.613-46.743, P = 0.012) were independent risk factors for recurrent angina pectoris at 1 year after OPCABG. Conclusions After OPCABG, the body was in a hypercoagulable state and lasted for a long time, and almost recovered 3 months after operation. LVEF < 0.50 and TF-1208 I I genotype were independent risk factors of angina pectoris at 1 year after surgery.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the risk factors and prognosis of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) in patients who under?went off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Methods A total of 342 patients scheduled for OPCAB between June 2013 and June 2015 were included in this study. According to results of preoperative duplex ultrasound examination of carotid arteries, patients were divided into CAS group (≥50%stenosis) and control group (<50%stenosis or no stenosis). The risk factors of CAS, death rate and the postoperative complications were compared between two groups. Results There were significant differences in age, smoking history, hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) between two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (OR=1.050, 95%CI:1.014-1.086, P<0.01), hypertension (OR=2.566, 95%CI:1.299-5.071, P < 0.01) and COPD (OR=7.573, 95%CI:1.106-51.834, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors for CAS in OPCAB surgery. CAS (OR=4.530, 95%CI:1.361-15.078, P<0.05) and the history of percutaneous coronary intervention (OR=7.685, 95%CI:2.289-25.800, P<0.01) were independent risk factors for postop?erative death. Conclusion Risk factors for CAS in patients undergoing OPCAB include advanced age, hypertension and COPD. There is higher risk of death in CAS patients with OPCAB.
RESUMO
Objective To study the variation characteristics of plasma von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF Ag) after the off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB) and its predictive value on the assessment of cardiovascular ischemia events in the postoperative patients.Methods A total of 338 patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were selected from 2010 to 2012 in this retrospective cohort study,with 249 males and 89 females and a mean age of (69.2 ± 4.5) years.The level of vWF Ag was assayed by the IL ACL-TOP 700 blood coagulation instrument.Receiver-operator curve (ROC) analysis of vWF Ag levels in the prediction of risk of ischemic events was performed.x2 test and Logistic regression were conducted to analyze the relevance between vWF Ag and clinical pathological factors.Cox regression analysis model were used to evaluate the effect on prognosis.Results There was significant difference in vWF Ag level at different time point between the poor recovery group and the stable disease group (x2 =129.53 and 101.48 respectively,both P＜0.01).And the vWF Ag level was higher in the poor recovery group on the 14th,30th,60th,90th day after OPCAB than in the stable disease group at the same time points respectively (all P＜0.05).The optimum cut-off point of vWF Ag (the 30th day after OPCAB) for prediction of ischemic events was 251 ％ within the 31-90th day after OPCAB,the area under ROC curve was 0.839 (95％ confidence interval:0.776-0.902).The Logistic regression analysis showed that the vWF Ag level on 30th day after OPCAB was affected by age,left ventricular ejection fraction,left main artery disease,serum creatinine level,vascular number of bypass grafts,history of myocardial infarction and hypertension (all P＜0.01).The Cox analysis showed that the cut-off value of vWF Ag (on the 30th day after OPCAB) was the independent prognostic assessment parameter for ischemic events in patients with cardiovascular diseases within one year.Conclusions The variation of serum vWF Ag level can reflect the integrated influence of multiple pathological factors on vascular endothelial function after the OPCAB,it can become the effective predictor for disease progression within 90 days and the long-term prognosis after OPCAB.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of strent-graft with Chimney technique in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of thoracic aortic dissection left subclavian artery (LSA) disease and left common carotid artery (LCCA) disease without good landing zone. Methods A total of 21 patients with thoracic aortic diseases complicated by in-sufficient proximal anchoring area,who were presented in our hospital in recent years,were selected in this study. The clini-cal data were retrospectively analyzed. The thoracic aortic diseases included aortic dissection ( n=11), aortic pseudoaneurysm (n=2), aortic aneurysm(n=1) and penetrating ulcer(n=7). Among all 21 patients,lesion was located in distal to LSA in 18 pa-tients with distance to LSA anchoring less than15 mm,and the lesion was located between the LSA and LCCA in the rest 3 patients.Thoracic aortic stent-graft placement was carried out.The ostium of LSA was intentionally and completely cov-ered by thoracic aortic stent-graft and left subclavian artery or left internal carotid artery stent-graft placement was subse-quently performed. The patients were observed for symptoms of cerebral and upper limb ischemia. The postoperative com-plications such as endoleak and the patency of LSA were assessed with angiography. Results Thoracic aortic stent-graft placement was suceessfully carried out in all 21 patients. In addition,one“Chimney”stent was properly implanted in LSA or LICA in each patient. After the procedure,no complications of nervous system or severe ischemia of upper extremity was observed. Follow-up examinations between to 38 months after the treatment revealed that the aortic stent-graft remained in stable condition without type I endoleak. Meanwhile the blood flow in“chinney”stent was unobstructed. Conclusion Chimney technique can expand the applicability of TSGP with high tolerance. Chimney technique expand the applicability of TEVAR for patients with challenging anatomy. It is a safe,effective and microinvasive method to treat thoracic aortic lesions.
RESUMO
Objective To study the variation of D-dimer after the off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCAB),and to evaluate its value for the assessment of postoperative cardiovascular ischemia events.Methods This is a retrospective cohort study.203 patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(NSTEMI) were random selected from the Tianjin medical university general hospital from 2010 to 2012,including 151 males and 52 females with a mean age of (66.9 ±8.4) years.The level of D-dimer was analysed by using the Biomerieux VIDAS fluor-euzymelinked immunoassay Analyzer assay.Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity,the relevance between D-dimer and clinical pathological factors was analysed by x2 test,the effect on prognosis was evaluated by using cox regression analysis model.Results Compared the group with stable disease,the level of D-dimer was increased remarkable in the group with poor recovery on the 14th day after surgery,(U =75.09,P ＜0.01).The optimum cut-off point with D-dimer(the 14th day after surgery) for the diagnosis of ischemic events within the 31th-90th day after surgery was 2 590μg/L,the area under ROC curve was 0.867(95％ confidence interval:0.791-0.943).The logistic analysis showed that the D-dimer was influenced by the sex,age,left ventricular ejection fraction,left main coronary artery disease,the number of vascular with bypass grafts,using internal mammary artery,hypertension and other factors,OR value was 0.495(95％ CI:0.327-0.694),0.527(95％ CI:0.370-0.812),0.564(95％ CI:0.419-0.638),0.331(95％ CI:0.278-0.426),0.592(95％ CI:0.440-0.785),2.093(95％ CI:1.533-2.856),0.580 (95 ％ CI:O.451-0.709) respectively (P ＜ 0.01).The Cox analysis showed that the level of Ddimer on the 14th day after surgery was not the independent assessment parameter for long-term prognosis.Conclusion The serum D-dimer was influenced by multiple pathological factors after the OPCAB,the level of serum D-dimer(on the 14th day after surgery) could be used as effective estimate parameter for the adverse events within the 31 th-90th after OPCAB.
RESUMO
ObjectiveThe present study was designed evaluate the aspirin effectiveness in the inhibition of platelet aggregation in patients after OPCAB.Methods290 patients were recruited.145 patients underwent first time OPCAB (surgery group).Arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation and urine 11-dehydro thromboxane B2 (11-dehydroTxB2) were measured before operation and on aspirin re-administered days 1,4, 10, and 6 months after surgery.The same tests were also detected in 145 patients from the cardiology department (non-surgery group) received medicine therapy as controls.Results Ninety-nine patients were defined as aspirin sensitive after OPCAB (AS Group).Postoperative aspirin resistance was identified in 46 (32％) patients at the first day after aspirin treatment started (AR Group).19 (13％) and 5 (3％) patients remained as AR at day 4 and 10 after aspirin re-administration, respectively.Patients in the AR group had higher 11-dehydroTxB2 levels than those in the AS group (P = 0.049).Six months follow-up showed ARA-induced platelet aggregation was (11.5 ± 3.4) ％.Urine level of 11-dehydroTxB2 was (50.3 ± 15.4) ng/L.No resistance was found.All cardiologic patients were identified as aspirin sensitive, the change of platelet aggregation and 11-dehydroTxB2 were similar as those in the AS group.Weight ＞75 kg and postoperative drainage ＞500 ml were risk factors of aspirin resistance after OPCAB.ConclusionAnti-platelet effect of aspirin was reduced during the early postoperative period in certain patients undergoing OPCAB.In case of resistance,antiplatelet treatment strategy should be intensified or modified.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the change of interleukin-8(IL-8) during perioperative period, and to define whether the increase of IL-8 in response to cardiac surgery is related to the presence of a certain allele in a functional polymorphism. To explore the relationship between postoperative inflammation and clinical outcome. Methods One hundred and forty-five patients undergoing selective off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) for the first time were enrolled. The IL-8 (-251A >T) polymorphisms were analyzed by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gene sequencing. The plasma levels of cytokine, troponin T (TnT). creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and creatinine (Cr) were measured before and 4, 24 and 72 hours after operation by suspension array system. Results After surgery, the IL-8 concentration increased and reached the highest level at 4 hours after surgery [18.0 (8.4, 37.1) ng/L, P = 0.000], and then it decreased to the preoperative level at 3 days after surgery. Four hours after surgery, the patients with IL-8-251 AA homozygous genotype had higher concentration of IL-8 C33.1 (16.6, 49.5) ng/L, P =0.0353. They had higher TnT and CK-MB levels than patients homozygous for AT and TT genotype 4 hours after surgery [TnT:0.53 (0.43, 4.92) ng/ml, P = 0.037; CK-MB: 41.5 (28.8, 65.5) U/L, P=0.025], and patients homozygous for AT genotype had higher Cr level 24 hours after surgery C93.1 (76.4, 121.5) μmol/L, P = 0. 021]. The patients who underwent ventilation for more than 1 day or post-operative hospital stay for more than 14 days had higher IL-8 levels (P=0.036, 0.038). IL-8-251AA genotype was an independent risk factor for patients undergoing ventilation for more than 1 day (OR=11.80, 95% CI: 1.87-74.48) and post-operative hospital stay for more than 14 days (OR=38.00, 95% CI:4.15-347. 87) . Conclusions OPCAB results in postoperative inflammatory response. IL-8-251AA genotype is associated with longer mechanical ventilation and hospital staying. Genetic background might alter the extent of inflammatory response and relate to postoperative prognosis. 、
RESUMO
Objective:To assess aspirin efficacy in the early postoperative period following off-pump coronary artery bypass(OPCAB)surgery.Methods:Sixty patients undergoing OPCAB surgery were enrolled in the study.Previous aspirin treatment Was terminated 5-7 days before OPCAB and continued to take at the day with food intake after surgery.The functional and biochemical responses to aspirin were evaluated by arachidonie acid (ARA)-induced platelet aggregation.Samples were collected before and on days 1,4 and 10 after aspirin intake(100 mg/d).Results:There were 17 patients(28.3%),9 patients (15%)and 2 patients(3.3%)with aspirin resistance on day 1,4 and 10 of aspirin intake.The overall levels of platelet aggregation(%)were 63(52,70),13(11,22),12(10,14),and 12(11,14)before the surgery and on day 1,4 and 10 of aspirin intake.The level was stable from the 4th day after aspirin intake.It was found that aspirin resistance was not an independent risk factor for the operation.Conclusion:Aspirin did not sufficiently inhibit platelet aggregation at the early stage after OPCAB.It is important to keep potential anti-coagulation therapy in the early postoperative period.
