ABSTRACT

A totally endoscopic minimally invasive approach is widely used for cardiac valve surgery in normal adults. However, minimally invasive cardiac surgery during pregnancy is rarely reported. In addition to traditional median thoracotomy, totally endoscopic minimally invasive approaches can now be used for pregnant patients. We describe our experience with totally endoscopic cardiac valve surgery (TECVS) during pregnancy, which is safe for both mothers and fetuses.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To compare the safety and efficacy of del-Nido cardioplegia (DNC) with traditional 4:1 cold blood cardioplegia (CBC) in coronary artery bypass grafting and/or valve surgeries in elderly patients. METHODS: The present study is a retrospective case-series study that included 302 consecutive patients aged 70 years and over who underwent on-pump valve surgery and/or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). DNC was administered to 90 patients and CBC to 212 patients. After propensity-score matching, 89 pairs were compared. The safety and efficacy were analyzed between the two groups. RESULTS: The DNC group had a similar mortality (3.4% vs. 5.6%, OR = 0.79, P = 0.720) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) implantation rate (1.1% vs. 2.2%, OR = 0.75, P = 1.000) to the CBC group, a lower incidence of postoperative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) implantation (1.1% vs. 9.0%, OR = 0.54, P = 0.034) and a higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at discharge (60 (56-64) % vs. 57 (51-62)%, P = 0.007). The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the DNC group was higher when the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (79.4 (65.0-94.3) ml/min/1.73m2 vs. 77.2 (59.8-88.7) ml/min/1.73m2, P = 0.014), but no significant differences were identified after 24 h. The serum lactate values of the DNC group were significantly lower than those of the CBC group (0 h: 2.7 (2.0-3.2) vs. 3.2 (2.4-4.4), P = 0.001; 3 h: 3.2 (2.0-4.8) vs. 4.8 (2.8-6.6), P < 0.001; 6 h: 3.5 (2.2-5.4) vs. 5.8 (3.4-8.4), P < 0.001; 9 h: 3.4 (2.0-7.0) vs. 5.5 (2.9-8.3), P = 0.005). There were no differences between the two groups in respect of lactate levels at 12 h and thereafter. Postoperative creatinine kinase-MB concentrations were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Del-Nido cardioplegia is safe and effective in elderly patients undergoing CABG and/or valve surgery.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To demonstrate the technical details of total endoscopic aortic valve replacement using a standard prosthesis, compare the clinical effect and safety of endoscopic aortic valve replacement and traditional aortic valve replacement. Methods: From 2020 to 2021, 60 consecutive patients underwent elective isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR). They were divided into two groups: the total endoscopic AVR group (TE-AVR group, 29 patients, nine women, aged 51.65 ± 11.79 years), and the traditional full-sternotomy group (AVR group, 31 patients, 13 women, aged 54.23 ± 12.06 years). Three working ports were adopted in the TE-AVR procedure. Results: No patient died in either group. The cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and aortic cross-clamp (ACC) time in the TE-AVR group were longer than those in the AVR group (CPB time: 177.6 ± 43.2 vs. 112.1 ± 18.1 min, p < 0.001; ACC time: 118.3 ± 29.7 vs. 67.0 ± 13.2 min, p < 0.001). However, the mechanical ventilation duration (14.2 ± 9.3 vs. 24.0 ± 18.9 h, p = 0.015) and postoperative hospital stay (6.0 ± 1.7 vs. 8.0 ± 4.5 days, p = 0.025) were shorter in patients of TE-AVR group than those of AVR group. Although the ICU stay (55.1 ± 26.9 vs. 61.5 ± 44.8 h, p = 0.509) and post-operative chest drainage of the first 24 h (229.8 ± 125.0 vs. 273.2 ± 103.2 ml, p = 0.146) revealed no statistical difference, there was a decreasing trend in the TE-AVR group. Among the patients of the TE-AVR group, two patients were converted to thoracotomy because of mild to moderate paravalvular leakage identified by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Conclusion: Total endoscopic aortic valve replacement is safe and feasible, with less trauma and quicker recovery.

ABSTRACT

@#Objective    To analyze the clinical efficacy and mid-term outcomes of reimplantation of anomalous origin of left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), and to evaluate whether concomitant management of mitral regurgitation (MR) during ALCAPA repair is needed. Methods    Between March 2005 and March 2015, 52 consecutive patients (20 males and 32 females with a median age of 10 months ranging 2-193 months) underwent reimplantation of ALCAPA at Department of Cardiac Surgery, Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute. There were 14 males and 21 females with a mean age of 35.4±42.8 months not receiving mitral valvuloplasty (a Non-MVP group), and 6 males and 11 females with a mean age of 13.5±11.0 months receiving mitral valvuloplasty (a MVP group). In order to facilitate the analysis, degree of MR was graded by number: 0.0=none, 1.0=trivial, 2.0=mild, 2.5=mild-moderate, 3.0=moderate, 3.5=moderate-severe and 4.0=severe. Results    The left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) demonstrated significant improvement between preoperation and discharge (28.6%±9.6% vs.   32.1%±10.1%, P=0.023; 38.4±5.6 mm vs. 30.5±5.7 mm, P<0.001), and there was also significant improvement in the mean MR grade between preoperation and discharge (2.9±1.2, vs. 2.4±1.2, P=0.001). There were 4 in-hospital deaths (7.7%). The median follow-up was 21.0 months (ranging 1.5-111.0 months). Three patients (5.8%) were lost to follow-up, 1 patient required reoperation for mitral valve replacement and there was no death during follow-up. Significant improvement was seen in LVFS between discharge and final follow-up (32.1%±10.1% vs. 38.0%±6.0%, P=0.001); however, there was no significant difference in the degree of MR between discharge and final follow-up (2.4±1.2 vs. 2.3±1.2, P=0.541). There was no significant difference in cardiopulmonary bypass time, aortic cross-clamping time, mechanical ventilation time or hospital stay between the two groups. Conclusion    Creation of a dual coronary system with reimplantation of the left coronary artery results in complete recovery of left ventricular function. However, concomitant management of MR during ALCAPA repair remains controversial. Concomitant mitral valve repair for ALCAPA patients with moderate-severe and severe MR is helpful to early function recovery of mitral valve.

ABSTRACT

A 63-year-old female patient with one year history of dyspnea intermittently, and had dyspnea aggravation for one month accompanied by coughing with blood. She was reated in our hospital in July 31, 2012. Physical examination: bilateral nasal patency, without abnormal secretions and bleeding, pharyngeal mucosa with chronic congestion, without swelling tonsil, normal laryngeal pronunciation, and without hoarseness. No bump or swollen lymph node in the neck area. There were no exception in heart, lung and stomach. Indirect laryngoscopy and fiber laryngoscopy show: One pedicled new creature in the glottis near posterior commissure, with smooth surface, located on the back end of the right vocal cord, bilateral vocal cord move well. Pathological diagnosis postoperative: laryngeal basal cell adenoma(the tubular type).

ABSTRACT

Influenza A virus poses serious health threat to humans. Neutralizing antibodies against the highly conserved M2 ion channel is thought to offer broad protection against influenza A viruses. Here, we screened synthetic Camel single-domain antibody (VHH) libraries against native M2 ion channel protein. One of the isolated VHHs, M2-7A, specifically bound to M2-expressed cell membrane as well as influenza A virion, inhibited replication of both amantadine-sensitive and resistant influenza A viruses in vitro, and protected mice from a lethal influenza virus challenge. Moreover, M2-7A showed blocking activity for proton influx through M2 ion channel. These pieces of evidence collectively demonstrate for the first time that a neutralizing antibody against M2 with broad specificity is achievable, and M2-7A may have potential for cross protection against a number of variants and subtypes of influenza A viruses.
