RESUMO
Objective To compare the predicting values for Prognosis among Global Risk Classification (GRS),Synergy Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score,the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) in patients who received stenting because of unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) lesion.Methods Totally 105 successive elderly patients with ULMCA lesion who received stenting were divided into 2 groups:with and without main adverse cardiac events (MACE).The clinical and angiographic characteristics were analyzed and then compared among GRC,SYNTAX score and EuroSCORE.Results As compared with none MACE group,MACE group had higher EuroSCORE score (2.0±2.3 vs.6.5±2.9,t=8.18,P=0.002),and more trivessel disease and left main bifurcation lesion (x2 =8.96,6.96,P =0.011,P =0.008).High risk GRC showed more MACE than medium or low risk GRC [55.9％ (19/34) vs.20.5％(9/44),7.4％ (2/27),x2 =19.77,P=0.001].AUC(95％CI )of GRC,SYNTAX score and EuroSCORE were [0.821 (0.730-0.912),0.586(0.462-0.709) and 0.631 (0506-0.757)],respectively.Compared with SYNTAX score and EuroSCORE,GRC was superior in the MACE predicting value (Z=3.29,2.63,P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).
RESUMO
Six patients with ST segment elevated acute myocardial infarction (AMI), who were 52.5 years old in average, were enrolled and performed the treatment at Tongren Hospital from November 2003 to June 2004. Following percutanecus transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent revascularization, autologous bone marrow stem cell (BMSC) transplantation was performed after informed consent was obtained. Patients were subcutaneously injected with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) at 1 week before transplantation. When CD34+ cells going up to 1%-3% in peripheral blood, mononuclear cells in peripheral blood were harvested,purified, and further infused into the infarcted related coronary artery with an over-the-wire balloon catheter. Following up was performed every half a year. Four years later, the infarcted area of these patients was further decreased by 8.03%, in the basic descent of 42.7% at 3 months averagely; total infracted area descent was 50.73%, but ejection fraction increased by 4.6% from 50.8%. There was no serious coronary artery restenosis and/or stenosis formation which need revascularization upon angiography.
