ObjectivePerimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) is a common congenital heart disease (CHD) usually treated with either catheter or surgical closure. Superiority of one procedure over the other in children is still a matter of debate. We performed this meta-analysis to compare the clinical outcomes and cost of transcatheter and surgical closure of pmVSD in children.Materials and methodsWe searched seven databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, CENTRAL, CINHAL, and Cochrane library) and literature references for articles published in the past 10 years (between January 2008 and January 2018) comparing closure of pmVSD by both procedures in children. The outcomes of interest were success rate, residual shunt, need for blood transfusion, complications especially complete atrioventricular block, length of hospital stay, and cost.ResultsA total of 1750 articles were identified. However, only five studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. As regards success rate, no significant difference was found between surgical and catheter closure. Residual shunt was significantly lower in catheter closure than surgical closure [risk ratio (RR) = 0.44; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.23–0.83, p = 0.01). The need for blood transfusion and the length of hospital stay were significantly lower in the catheter closure compared to surgical closure (RR = 0.02; 95% CI, 0.01–0.08; p < 0.00001), (RR = ?4.81; 95% CI, ?7.76 to ?1.86; p = 0.001), respectively. However, overall complications, complete atrioventricular block, and the cost were comparable in both procedures.ConclusionTranscatheter closure of pmVSD in children was as effective as surgical closure with a lower residual shunt and need for blood transfusion, and shorter hospital stay. 相似文献

BackgroundPublished data on the outcome of coronary artery revascularization in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) are limited. Because APS is associated with a high rate of arterial thrombosis, there is concern that coronary revascularization in this group may be complicated by increased need for repeat revascularization. We aimed to determine the incidence and timing of repeat revascularization performed in patients with APS undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).MethodsOur institutional database was queried for individuals (n = 575) testing positive for antiphospholipid antibodies between 2000 and 2012. From this group, 46 patients underwent cardiac catheterization. Charts were reviewed to identify subsequent revascularization procedures.ResultsThe study sample consisted of 15 patients (67 ± 11 years, 11 females) who underwent revascularization. All of the study subjects had prior history of arterial (stroke, TIA n = 7) or venous (n = 10) thrombosis. Ten of the subjects had initial revascularization (6 CABG, 4 PCI) at an outside facility, while another five underwent initial PCI at our hospital. Repeat revascularization occurred in five patients (33%) at a median of 6 years (range 4, 13) following the initial revascularization. The median follow-up for patients who did not require repeat revascularization (n = 10) was 10 years (range 2, 15).ConclusionAmongst patients with APS who underwent CABG or PCI the need for repeat revascularization was infrequent and occurred several years after initial procedure. Based on this small sample size the periprocedural risk associated with coronary artery revascularization in subjects with APS is not prohibitively high. 相似文献

BackgroundThe optimal strategy for treating ostial left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) disease remains matter of speculation. We evaluated the impact on long-term outcomes of ostial LAD disease treated by means of ostial stenting (the floating-stent) or left main (LM)-to-LAD cross-over stenting.MethodsClinical and instrumental records of 74 consecutive patients with isolated ostial LAD disease, enrolled between the 1st January 2012 and the 1st January 2017 were reviewed. Patients have been stratified according the stenting techniques adopted: ostial stenting (OS) or LM cross-over (CO).ResultsSeventy-four consecutive patients (54 males, mean age 73.39 ± 9.54 years old) have been analyzed. In CO patients the SYNTAX score (16.2 ± 3.3 vs 24.1 ± 2.5, p < 0.0001) and the percentages of rotablation resulted higher than in OS group. IVUS has been predominantly used in CO groups revealing a significant extension of plaque burden of at least 10 mm of LM proximal to the LAD ostium in all the 18 out of 21 patients (85.7%) undergone IVUS-guided procedure. Fluoroscopy time and contrast medium volume were higher in OS versus CO group of patients. On a mean follow-up of 49.7 ± 7.9 months, MACE and target vessel revascularization (TVR) were 21.0% and 21.0% in OS groups versus 10.1 and 5.6% in the CO group (p = 0.20 and p = 0.04, respectively). Restenosis was higher in the OS than in CO group of patients and was located angiographically at the ostium.ConclusionsOn long-term follow-up CO seems to be superior to OS technique for isolated ostial LAD disease especially in the presence of heavy calcification. 相似文献

The advance of therapies to reduce the stroke impact of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis has proved difficult over the last decade. Disagreement concerning the underlying randomized control trials has limited entry into the care arena of endovascular therapies. Recently, advances in percutaneous therapies for carotid artery disease have been reported and provide a substantial database supporting the further incorporation of endovascular-based therapies in patients who need revascularization and meet selection criteria. With a second randomized control trial now published, it is time for a re-evaluation of endovascular therapy as a component of carotid artery care. This review describes the advances in the field in the last 5 years, clarifying the current position of these therapies in the care of the patient with asymptomatic carotid artery disease. 相似文献

BackgroundTherapeutic strategies - such as duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after coronary artery stenting - usually generate a large quantity of meta-analyses. The meta-analyses that include the same randomized clinical trials should produce similar results. Our aim in the study is to analyze the quality and to compare the results of meta-analyses focused on a controversial topic such as dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention.MethodsWe searched all published meta-analyses published up to November 2015 (near DAPT trial publication) selecting those that included the same randomized clinical trials comparing patterns of briefer versus longer–term double antiplatelet therapy.ResultsSeventeen meta-analyses achieved our selection criteria. Of the seventeen analyzed, we identified seven (41.1%) based on the same ten randomized clinical trials (RCTs), yet their results varied widely. Many of the meta-analyses differed in only some minor aspect of the design (i.e. eligible studies, length of comparators and statistical methods used). Some authors differed in the number of patients participating in RCTs and even, despite reviewing the same underlying trials, only 2 of the 7 meta-analyses included the same number of patients.ConclusionMeta-analyses around cardiovascular, all-cause or non-cardiovascular death differ frequently. In the DAPT duration setting, several meta-analyses have been recently published based on the same data, presenting several issues making it difficult to determine clear recommendations on certain points. 相似文献

AimsTo identify prevalence and predictors of undetected pre-clinical diastolic dysfunction (PDD) in a cohort of adult Hispanic patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and compare variations in epidemiology and echocardiographic characteristics between categorization based on the 2009 versus 2016 guidelines.MethodsFrom 2013 to 2016, a cross-sectional cohort study of adults with T2D was performed. Patients without signs/symptoms of heart failure (HF) underwent 2D/Doppler echocardiographic screening, and were grouped into two subcohorts: 1) normal diastolic function, and 2) PDD, defined by the 2009 or 2016 ASE/EACVI criteria.ResultsAmong 307 Hispanic subjects, by 2009 criteria, 193 (62.9%) had normal diastolic function, 113 (36.8%) diastolic dysfunction and 1 (0.3%) indeterminate. Those that had diastolic dysfunction (DD) were older (mean age 59.1 ± 12.7 vs 52.2 ± 12.2 years, p < 0.0001), with higher proportion female (69.0 vs 53.9%, p = 0.0092), and higher systolic blood pressure (136.5 ± 18.6 vs 131.7 ± 19.9, p = 0.0372). By 2016 criteria, 261 (85%) had normal diastolic function, 22 (7.2%) diastolic dysfunction and 24 (7.8%) indeterminate. Among those that had normal diastolic function (n = 261) by 2016 criteria, 29% (n = 76) had DD by 2009 criteria, and they were more likely to have higher E/e′ and left atrial volume index (LAVI).ConclusionsBy applying the 2016 versus the 2009 diastolic function criteria to a Hispanic population with T2D, the prevalence of PDD decreased significantly from 37% to 7%. These findings are consistent with recent studies demonstrating that the 2016 ASE/EACVI guidelines are more specific for diagnosing DD and hence less sensitive leading to lower prevalence of diastolic dysfunction. 相似文献

ObjectivesAdult survivors with congenital heart diseases represent a large and growing population, yet the published data does not represent the magnitude of their needs specifically in the Middle East. We aimed to review our experience at King Faisal Heart Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the outcome of adult patients with congenital heart disease who underwent either primary or redo surgery.MethodsA retrospective study at a tertiary care hospital. All patients who underwent surgery either as the first surgery or as a reoperation for congenital heart disease aged >16 years old at the time of cardiac surgery in the period between January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2013. We looked for incidence of postoperative bleeding, arrhythmias, acute kidney injury, neurological complications, duration of mechanical ventilation, hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Additionally, we assessed the mortality and 1- and 5-year survival.ResultsNinety-eight patients were included in our study. Fifty-two (53%) were females and 46 (47%) were males, with a mean age of 26 ± 8.4 years and a mean weight of 62 ± 22.8 kg. Forty-nine patients (50%) required redo surgery. Ten patients (10%) suffered from postoperative bleeding. Eight patients (8%) had postoperative arrhythmias, of which two patients required permanent pacemaker insertion. Three patients (3%) had postoperative acute kidney injury and seven patients (7%) suffered from neurological complications. The mean duration of ventilation was 1.3 ± 2 days, with a mean ICU and hospital stay of 3.7 ± 3 days, and 10 ± 7 days, respectively. The overall mortality rate in our series was 4% with a 1–5-year survival of 96%.ConclusionAdult patients with congenital heart disease are prone to immediate postoperative multisystem complications, yet the majority of them are reversible. Their 1- and 5-year survival rate is excellent. Further follow up studies are required. 相似文献

BackgroundAllogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT) is the only treatment option with curative potential in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). The aim of our study was to evaluate the safety of splenectomy before alloHSCT in MF patients who failed to achieve significant spleen response after ruxolitinib therapy.MethodsSplenectomy was performed in 12 patients for alloHSCT with myelofibrosis—primary (6 patients), post-polycythemia vera (3 patients). or postessential thrombocythemia (3 patients) between 2016 and 2018. The patients were prospectively included in the study if persistence of splenomegaly ≥ 25 cm was documented after at least 3 months of ruxolitinib therapy. In eight patients subsequent alloHSCT was performed.ResultsMedian length of hospital stay was 11 (8–30) days, median follow-up after splenectomy was 20.0 (0.6–31.1) months. No deaths were documented, perioperative morbidity was 50%. Three patients experienced portal vein thrombosis and one experienced splenic vein thrombosis. One patient developed pancreonecrosis and subdiaphragmatic abscess. Mean leukocyte count was significantly higher 1 month after splenectomy than before, 10.7 ± 1.7 versus 6.9 ± 2.3 × 109/L (p = 0.03). Platelets rate significantly elevated starting Day + 7 after splenectomy (p = 0.01). Median time between splenectomy and alloHSCT was 2.6 (0.17–4.5) months. All patients achieved engraftment. In early posttransplant period no cases of severe sepsis, intraabdominal infections were documented. One patient died after alloHSCT due to thrombotic microangiopathy. Seven patients are alive in disease complete remission. No relapses after alloHSCT were observed. Two-year overall survival in the whole group is 90% (95%CI 98–43%).ConclusionSplenectomy before alloHSCT might be a promising option in patients who failed to achieve significant spleen response after ruxolitinib therapy. 相似文献

BackgroundSystemic immune side effects including pancreatitis have been reported with the use of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICI) (CTLA-4, PD-1 and PDL-1). However, the true incidence, risk, causes (tumor or drug specific) of pancreatitis and relation to other immune side effects, especially diabetes mellitus (DM) are unknown.MethodsWe performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of all clinical trials using ICI for the incidence of any grade lipase elevation, pancreatitis or DM.ResultsThe incidence of asymptomatic lipase elevation after ICI use is 2.7% (211/7702) and grade 2 pancreatitis is 1.9% (150/7702). No pancreatitis related mortality has been reported in these clinical trials. Patients treated with CTLA-4 inhibitors have increased incidence of pancreatitis when compared to patients treated with PD1 inhibitors 3.98% (95% CI: 2.92 to 5.05) vs 0.94% (95% CI: 0.48 to 1.40); P value < 0.05. Patients treated with ICI for melanoma have increased incidence of pancreatitis when compared to non-melanoma cancers. We also noted an additive increase in incidence of pancreatitis with combination of CTLA4 and PD-1 inhibitors (10.60; 95% CI: 7.89 to 13.32) compared with either CTLA-4 or PD-1 inhibitors alone.ConclusionsOur study provides precise data for the incidence of pancreatitis among patients using ICI based on tumor types and ICI regimens. ICI use for solid tumors is associated with increased incidence of all grades of lipase elevation and pancreatitis, especially for CTLA-4 agents and ICI combination. Although it does not appear to be associated with mortality, ICI related pancreatitis should be recognized early for appropriate treatment and to potentially reduce long term complications. 相似文献

Background and aimsA predictive algorithm for survival is urgently needed in clinical practice. This study aimed to establish an algorithm to predict long-term survival in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with hepatic cirrhosis and variceal bleeding after endoscopic therapy.MethodsThis was a retrospective study in which 603 patients who followed-up for three years were randomly assigned into a training cohort and a validation cohort in a 2:1 ratio. A new score model was devised based on the result of Cox regression analysis in the training cohort, and was verified in the validation cohort.ResultsA prediction score model composed of age, neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and MELD score was established. The score ranged from 0 to 11. Areas under the ROC curve of the score were 0.821 (p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.769–0.873) and 0.827 (p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.753–0.900) in the training cohort and validation cohort, respectively. Scores 0–4 and 5–11 identified patients as low-risk and high-risk categories, respectively. The cumulative 3-year survival rate was significantly higher in the low-risk group than in the high-risk group (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe new score model can be used to predict long-term survival in CHB patients with hepatic cirrhosis and variceal bleeding after endoscopic therapy. 相似文献
