ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Preventive intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) for high-risk patients with stable hemodynamics is controversial, and its definition of high-risk is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of prophylactic IABP on the early outcome of left main disease (LMD) patients receiving off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) with stable hemodynamics. METHODS: From January 2013 to April 2020, 257 consecutive patients who underwent OPCABG through sternotomy were enrolled in this study. All LMD patients (greater than 70%) had stable hemodynamics (BP>100 mmHg without vasoconstrictor substance infusion). Early outcomes of 125 patients with prophylactic IABP (IABP group) and 132 patients without IABP (Control group) were compared in this study. RESULTS: IABP did not show favorable effect on the conversion to CPB (RR 0.63, 95%CI 0.05-7.89, P = 0.7211), perioperative MI (RR 0.69, 95%CI 0.22-2.12, P = 0.5163), mortality (RR 0.65, 95%CI 0.04-10.25, P = 0.7608) or the composite end of the conversion, MI and mortality (RR 0.63, 95%CI 0.23-1.74, P = 0.3747). There was greater incidence of prolonged ventilation in IABP after adjustment (RR2.16, 95%CI 1.12-4.18, P = 0.0221). There was no IABP-related mortality or limb ischemia. CONCLUSION: No significant difference in early outcomes was observed in hemodynamically stable patients with LMD between prophylactic IABP group and control group. Prophylactic IABP may be unnecessary in patients with LMD undergoing OPCABG.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Vein graft failure (VGF) is a serious complication of coronary artery bypass graft, although the mechanism remains unclear. The study aimed to investigate the effects of microRNAs (miRNAs) on the endothelial dysfunction involved in VGF. METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were subjected to mechanical stretch stimulation to induce endothelial dysfunction. Genome-wide transcriptome profiling was performed using the Human miRNA OneArray® V4 (PhalanxBio Inc., San Diego, USA). The miRNA-messenger RNA (mRNA) network was investigated using gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. The miR-551b-5p mimic and inhibitor were applied to regulate miR-551b-5p expression in the HUVECs. The 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and Western blotting (WB) were used to assess HUVECs proliferation, mRNA expression, and protein expression, respectively. The vein graft model was established in early growth response (Egr)-1 knockout (KO) mice and wide-type (WT) C57BL/6J mice for pathological and immunohistochemical analysis. Endothelial cells isolated from the veins of WT and Egr-1 KO mice were subjected to mechanical stretch stimulation; PCR and WB were conducted to confirm the regulatory effect of Egr-1 on Intercellular adhesion molecule (Icam-1). One-way analysis of variance and independent t-test were performed for data analysis. RESULTS: Thirty-eight miRNAs were differentially expressed in HUVECs after mechanical stretch stimulation. The bioinformatics analysis revealed that Egr-1 might be involved in VGF and was a potential target gene of miR-551b-5p. The mechanical stretch stimulation increased miR-551b-5p expression by 2.93 ± 0.08 fold (t = 3.07, P < 0.05), compared with the normal HUVECs. Transfection with the miR-551b-5p mimic or inhibitor increased expression of miR-551b-5p by 793.1 ± 171.6 fold (t = 13.84, P < 0.001) or decreased by 26.3% ± 2.4% (t = 26.39, P < 0.05) in the HUVECs, respectively. HUVECs proliferation and EGR-1 mRNA expression were significantly suppressed by inhibiting miR-551b-5p expression (P < 0.05). The lumens of the vein grafts in the Egr-1 KO mice were wider than that in the WT mice. Icam-1 expression was suppressed significantly in the Egr-1 KO vein grafts (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Increased miR-551b-5p expression leads to endothelial dysfunction by upregulating Egr-1 expression. EGR-1 KO can improve the function of a grafted vein through suppressing Icam-1.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical characteristics and outcomes of redo CABG. METHODS: The outcomes of 42 consecutive patients who underwent redo CABG from January 2002 to December 2010 was analyzed. There were 29 males and 13 females, aging from 46 to 78 years old with a mean of (61.2 ± 2.1) years. Off-pump CABG was applied for 31 patients and on-pump CABG for 11 patients. There were 1 patient underwent concomitant aortic valve replacement and 1 patient underwent aortic root and right aortic arch replacement respectively. RESULTS: Three patients died of right ventricle rupture, heart failure and multiple system organ failure respectively and the perioperative mortality rate was 4.8%. The post-operatively mechanical ventilation time varied from 9 to 27 h with a mean of (17 ± 7) h. There was no residual angina and perioperative myocardial infarction in the remaining patients who were all discharged uneventfully. Intraoperative 6 patients had accepted intraaortic balloon counterpulsation. During the follow-up from 6 months to 4.5 years for 38 patients, which showed no evidence of recurrent angina and postoperative coronary CT angiography in 12 patients showed the patency of grafts is good. CONCLUSION: Satisfactory outcome of redo coronary artery bypass grafting can be achieved if proper indication were choose and reasonable management were performed.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the clinic characteristics and effect of surgical repair of ruptured aortic sinus aneurysm. METHODS: From September 1997 to September 2007, 43 patients with ruptured aortic sinus aneurysm underwent surgical procedures. There were 32 male and 11 female patients. The age ranged from 11 to 50 years old with a mean of (29.0 +/- 11.5) years old. The origins of rupture were the right coronary sinus in 34 patients and the noncoronary sinus in 9 patients. The aneurysms ruptured into the right ventricle in 30 patients, the right atrium in 8 patients, the right ventricle and right atrium in 3 patients, and the ventricular septum and then the right ventricle in 2 patients. Associated cardiac anomalies included ventricular septal defect in 26 patients, aortic regurgitation in 15 patients, infectious endocarditis in 8 patients, tricuspid regurgitation in 6 patients, atrial septum defect in 4 patients, mitral valve regurgitation in 2 patients, patent ductus arteriosus in 2 patients, and pulmonary valve vegetation in 1 patient. All the patients underwent the repair of ruptured aortic sinus aneurysm and correction of associated anomalies with cardiopulmonary bypass. RESULTS: There were no deaths after the operation and during the follow-up. The complications, including acute heart failure and III atrioventricular block, occurred in 5 patients. Follow-up was 6 to 120 months with a mean of (68.0 +/- 17.7) months. Two patients underwent reoperation for aortic valve replacement at the 6(th) and 8(th) year after the first operation. There were 2 patients which the aortic regurgitation deteriorated from grade I to II. CONCLUSIONS: Repair of ruptured aortic sinus aneurysm presents a satisfactory result. Aggressive treatment in early time, prevention of post-operative complications and long-term follow-up are recommended in the treatment for patients of ruptured aortic sinus aneurysm with infectious endocarditis and aortic regurgitation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMLR) has been used in the treatment of patients with end-stage coronary artery disease (CAD) since 1990. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of TMLR in patients with diffuse CAD. METHODS: Ninety-four consecutive patients underwent TMLR in one center from July 1997 to December 2000. The follow-up data of these patients were obtained through face-to-face, mail questionnaires, or telephone interviews in July 2004 and December 2004. Four cases failed to respond. Mean follow-up time was (5.5 +/- 1.0) years. RESULTS: Mean Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina scores of TMLR patients were 3.1 +/- 0.8 at baseline, 1.7 +/- 0.9 at 1 year (P < 0.05), 1.7 +/- 0.9 at 3 years (P < 0.05), and 1.9 +/- 0.9 at 5 years (P < 0.05). At an average of 5 years, 69% of the patients had > or = 1 angina class reduction, mean NYHA class level (1.9 +/- 0.9) ameliorated compared to the baseline (2.5 +/- 0.7, P < 0.001), the rate of re-hospitalization was 2.7 times/person. Kaplan-Meier survival rate was 87% at 1 year, 69% at 3 years and 64% at 5 years. The causes of death were attributed more to heart failure (58.9%) and myocardial infraction (14.7%) after TMLR. The patients with no angina relief, or who died after TMLR, had a higher percentage of preoperative unstable anginas or prior myocardial infraction compared to the survivors. The assorted shapes of myocardial laser channels were detected in some patients by the color Doppler velocity technique. CONCLUSIONS: TMLR provided a long-term improvement in the quality of life, including CCS angina class or NYHA heart functional class for about 70% of Chinese patients with severely disabling angina pectoris. The various myocardial laser channels would always be visible after TMLR. 5-years after TMLR as a sole therapy, the survival rate of the patients was 64%.
