This experiment was to study the blood supply of diffcrent types of skin flaps and the revascularization of the host region. The types of skin flaps used in this cxpcriment were the axial pattern flap and the random pattern flap on the back of rabbite. Forty New Zealand rabbits were divided into 5 groups at random. In gathering the data For assessment, besides the local changes such as color, swelling of the flaps, the area of survival of flaps after division of the pedicles, the tests used to observe the postoperative changes included the isotope (99mTc) clearance test, intravenous orescein test, tissue transparent method by perfusion of the flap vessels with Chengdu ink and histologie study. The following conclusions cule be drawn: The complete revaseularization of random pattern flap occurred at 10 days after operation and that of xaial pattern flap was 14 days, the random pattern flaps had a quicker rate of revascularization. It was suggested that the flap ischemia was a factor which enhanced revascularization.
Progress in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)， chronic coronary artery disease and their immediate complications has led to an increasing number of surviving patients with residual left ventricular dysfunction. It has been shown that viable myocardium in post-AMI patients and chronic heart failure patients plays an important role in predicting their prognosis and making clinical decisions. Viable myocardium refers to myocardium with reversible contractile dysfunction that occurs in coronary ischemia or after ischemia-reperfusion, but still has contractile reserve. Myocardial microvascular integrity is in correspondence with myocardial viability. Myocardial contrast echocardiography can evaluate the microvascular integrity of myocardial dysfunctional areas in patients with AMI or chronic coronary artery disease, detect viable myocardium， predict the potential for functional recovery in dysfunctional areas following reperfusion， and provide clinicians with valuable information for individualized treatment.
Objective To summarize the essential of perioperative therapy and improve the prognosis of coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG） and transmyocardial laser revascularization （TMLR） through analyzing 1405 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Methods From May 1997 to January 2006, 1 405 patients were treated in our hospital. On-pump CABG were performed in 825 patients, single CABG were performed in 666 patients, CABG with cardiac valvular operation in 98 patients, CABG with cardiac ventricular aneurysm resection in 55 patients, CABG with ventricular septal defect repairment in 2 patients; CABG with left atrium gelatinous tumor resection in 2 patients, CABG with ascending aorta repairment in 1 patient, and mediastinal septum tumor resection in 1 patient. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting （OPCAB） were performed in 500 patients; single TMLR were performed in 30 patients, CABG＋TMLR were performed in 50 patients. Results The number of bridge vessel was 2.9±1.0. Forty-two patients（3.0%） died of bleeding, myocardial infarction, low cardiac output syndrome, renal failure, multiple organ failure（MOF） and so on. Various complications were occurred in 70 patients（5.0%）, including bleeding, low cardiac output syndrome, myocardial infarction, renal failure and so on. All of them were recovered after treatment. There were 1 177 patients of angina in grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ （CCS） before operation, 1 154 of them （98.0%） changed in grade 0-Ⅰ （CCS） postoperatively. There were 857 patients （62.9%） in follow-up for 8.3±2.9 months postoperatively. There was no angina in 788 patients（91.9%） 6 months after surgery. The ultrasonic graphic showed that left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.66±0.10 and raised 7.9% than that before operation. The quality of life was better than before. Conclusion CABG has become the most potent routine operation in the therapy of coronary artery disease. It can extend the applications of CABG and improve the operative prognosis, if the indications are correctly mastered and the perioperative management are enhanced.
ObjectiveTo summarize the experience of 4 patients with a great saphenous venous graft patency after 15 years of postoperitive great saphenous venous sequential aortic coronary artery bypass grafting. MethodWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 4 patients accepted great saphenous vein aortic coronary artery bypass graft under moderate hypothermia cardiopulmonary bypass from November 1989 to December 1992 year. There were 3 males and 1 female with a mean age of 48.3 years ranging from 40-58 years. We harvested great saphenous vein under groin 45-50 cm. The proximal and distal anastomoses were performed with parachute technique under two clamps technique. Coronary artery bypass graft was performed by two sequential grafts routinely. Aspirin was given through nasal tube 6 hours after operation. The risk factors of arteriosclerosis were controlled by patients themselves after discharge. ResultFour patients received coronary angiography in 15, 16, 18, and 21 years after surgery and the grafts and both proximal and distal anastomoses were patent. The patients lived about 20 years without angina. Conclusioncarefully dealing with the vein graft, taking sequential bypass grafting to guarantee parabolic curve and meticulous anastomosis are preconditional and necessary for long-term patency.
Objective To investigate the etiology, diagnosis, revascularization of upper l imb ischemia and the compl ications. Methods From March 2003 to February 2008, 72 cases of upper l imb ischemia were treated. There were 44males and 28 females, aged 19-90 years old (median 63 years old). The duration of the disease was 1 hour to 2 years. All cases had symptoms of l imb ischemia such as paleness, coldness, paralysis. According to individual condition, 72 patients accepted revascularizations including thromboembolectomy, reconstruction after traumatic injuries, pseudoaneurysm excision and angioplasty, balloon dilatation and stent implant, arterial repair, patch, vascular prosthesis or vein bypass/transplantation, and l igation or coarctation of fistula. Results Sixty patients (83.3%) recovered well after operation. Re-occlusion following thromboemboletomy was found in 6 patients (8.3%). And there were 4 patients (5.6%) with l imbs disturbance and muscles contracture and 2 patients (2.8%) with compartment syndrome in this series. The affected l imb had to be amputated in 2 patients (2.8%). And 1 patient (1.4%) died of cerebral hemorrhage because of anticoagulation 3 days after operation. All patients were followed up 1-6 years (mean 52 months) after operation. Four patients recurred and got improved after retreatments. The others got a good result with normal skin color and temperature, restoration of the radial and ulnar pulses, normal saturation of blood oxygen of finger ti p (gt; 90%) and patent blood flow of affected arteries was shown by color Doppler ultrasound. Conclusion The study indicates that identifying the etiology of upper l imb ischemia before operation and active revascularizations consistent with different causes are the key to treat the upper l imb ischemia.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the "gold standard" for revascularization of left main diseased and/or complex multi-vessel diseased coronary artery disease. Post-CABG stroke is a relatively rare but catastrophic complication with a serious health and economic burden. In recent years, the further understanding of the concept of "panvascular disease", the implementation of the philosophy of "cardio-cerebral integrated treatment", and the improvement of related diagnostic and therapeutic techniques have provided new options for the recognition, prevention and cure of post-CABG stroke. Focusing on the key factor of carotid-cerebral artery disease, this review systematically scrutinizes the incidence, epidemiology, risk factors, mechanisms and prevention and treatment of post-CABG stroke. This review analyzes the association between post-CABG stroke and carotid-cerebral artery disease, summarizes the status of evidence-based prophylactic carotid-cerebral artery revascularization strategy, and prospects for future research directions.
ObjectiveTo compare the superiority of total arterial revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated with left ventricular dysfunction. MethodsThis retrospective study included the patients who were diagnosed with CAD and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≤40% and underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at our hospital from January 2016 to July 2019. The patients were divided into two groups according to the different types of bypass vessels: a total arterial revascularization group (TAR group) and a conventional group (a CON group). The clinical data were compared between the two groups to explore the incidence of important complications and evaluate the safety of total arterial revascularization and its protective effect on cardiac function. Results Finally 75 patients were enrolled including 52 males and 23 females with a mean age of (61.58±7.93) years. There were 35 patients in the TAR group and 40 patients in the CON group. The operation time and the drainage volume at 24 hours after operation in the TAR group were longer or more than those in the CON group (P<0.001), but there was no statistical difference in hospital stay, postoperative complications (such as respiratory failure, mediastinal infection, renal failure), intra-aortic balloon pump or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use rate (P>0.05). After 2 years of follow-up, compared with the CON group, the cardiac function of the TAR group was significantly improved, the LVEF was higher, the left ventricular end diastolic diameter was reduced, and the graft stenosis rate was lower (all P<0.05). Conclusion Total arterial revascularization is a safe and feasible surgical method, which is helpful to improve the cardiac function and improve the quality of life.
Hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) combines the advantages of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCAB) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and avoids its relative shortcomings, which has received particular attention in recent years. HCR seems to have become the third revascularization strategy for multi-vessel disease in coronary heart diseases. However, the clinical researches on HCR are still limited. This article will systematically review the comparison of HCR with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and PCI, the results of HCR in specific patients, and the clinical results of different HCR strategies.
