Abstract: Objective To compare the therapeutic effects between offpump coronary artery bypass grafting (off-pump CABG) and onpump coronary artery bypass grafting (on-pump CABG) in the patients of multivessel coronary disease below 70 years old, in order to decide on the best surgery method. Methods From June 2007 to June 2009, 196 patients below the age of 70 underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), including 152 male patients and 44 female patients. The average age was 55.00 years old, ranging from 46 to 69 years. The patients were divided into two groups according to the methods of operation. There were 94 patients in the off-pump CABG group including 2 patients who were converted to the onpump CABG surgery because of the unstable hemodynamics. The other 102 patients were in the onpump CABG group. The type and number of the vessel grafts, the quantity of blood transfusion, intubation duration, length of stay in hospital, complications during perioperative period and mortality were compared between the two groups. Results In the offpump CABG group, 2 patients were converted to onpump CABG surgery because of the unstable hemodynamics, and 1 of them died from multiple organ failure. In the onpump CABG group, 2 patients died from severe low output syndrome and sudden heart arrest respectively. No significant difference was found in the vessel grafting materials, perioperative complications and mortality between the two groups (Pgt;0.05), while the number of anastomosis (3.22±0.65 vs. 4.52±1.11, t=9.807, P=0.000), the [CM(159mm]quantity of blood transfusion (312.57±305.26 ml vs. 744.86±279.37 ml, t=10.317, P=0.000),the intubation duration (10.71±5.32 h vs.17.12±4.67 h, t=8.683, P=0.000) and the length of stay in hospital (17.75±3.04 d vs. 21.24±6.46 d, t=4.782,P=0.000) in the off-pump CABG group were significantly lower or shorter than those in the on-pump CABG group. A total of 93 patients in the off-pump CABG group and 100 patients in the on-pump CABG group were followed up with the time periods ranging from 2 to 26 months. All patients survived without angina. Conclusion There is no significant difference in the early clinical therapeutic effects between off-pump CABG and onpump CABG in the patients of multivessel coronary disease below 70 years old, but revascularization in the on-pump CABG patients is better. So far, offpump CABG cannot replace on-pump CABG and more clinical trails are needed for evaluation of the longterm prognosis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), to explore the risk factors and prognosis of postoperative AKI, and to establish a relatively accurate preoperative risk assessment strategy and prevention measures.MethodsThe clinical data of 252 patients who underwent deep hypothermic circulatory surgery in our hospital from January 2014 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 179 males and 73 females with an average age of 53.6±11.6 years. The patients were divided into an AKI group and a non-AKI group according to the AKI diagnostic criteria developed by kidney disease improving global outcomes (KDIGO). The data of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors related to AKI after DHCA were analyzed by single factor and multivariate logistic regression.ResultsAmong the 252 patients enrolled, the incidence of AKI was 69.0%. The postoperative hospital mortality rate was 7.9% (20/252). The univariate analysis showed that the patient's age and body mass index (BMI)≥28 kg/m2, left ventricular ejection fraction<55%, preoperative serum creatinine (Scr)≥110 μmol/L, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Cleveland score and intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time, intraoperative infusion of red blood cells, intraoperative infusion of plasma, postoperative mechanical ventilation time≥40 h and other indicators were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05); multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there was significant difference between the two groups in age (OR=1.040, 95% CI 1.017–1.064, P=0.001), BMI≥28 kg/m2 (OR=2.335, 95%CI 1.093–4.990, P=0.029), eGFR<90 mL/(min·1.73 m2) (OR=2.044, 95%CI 1.082–3.863, P=0.028), preoperative Cleveland score (OR=1.300, 95%CI 1.054–1.604, P=0.014) and intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR=1.009, 95%CI 1.002–1.017, P=0.014).ConclusionThe incidence of AKI is higher after DHCA. Patients with postoperative AKI have longer hospital stay and higher risk of hospitalization death. The age of patients, BMI≥28 kg/m2, eGFR<90 mL/(min·1.73) m2, Cleveland score, intraoperative extracorporeal circulation time are independent risk factors for AKI after DHCA.
Objective To investigate the surgical therapy for chronic total occlusion (CTO) of coronary artery with offpump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Methods From Aug. 1999 to Oct. 2007, 696 patients with 853 totally occluded coronary arteries (127 coronary arteries lack of opacification while the other 726 arteries with reverse flow showed by coronary angiography) underwent OPCAB. A total of 2 231 grafts were constructed including 136 placed to coronary endarterectomy (CE) targets and 28 arterialized middle cardiac veins. Blood flow was detected during operation in 26 coronary arteries with no opacification in preoperative angiography, while no blood flow was detected in 63 coronary arteries with opacification in preoperative angiography. Cardiopulmonary bypass was applied in 15 cases because of a poor hemodynamics and 6 of which were assisted with intraaortic balloon pump(IABP). Results All patients survived the operation. 6 died in hospital because of low cardiac output (2 cases), renal failure (2 cases), perioperative cardiac infarction (1 case) or cerebrovascular accident (1 case). Stress ulceration occurred in one case, mediastinal infection occurred in another case after operation. Both were treated medically and recovered. 692 patients were followed up and the rate of flup was 99.42%(685/686), with 4 withdrawal. Freedom from cardiac angina was 99.85%(685/686) and cardiac functional grading (NYHA) was Ⅰ-Ⅱ. Conclusion OPCAB can be well performed in patients with chronic total occlusion of coronary arteries. The ralue of coronary angiography for evaluating totally occluded coronary artery is limited, and endoscope or intravascular ultrasound techniques may be helpful.
