The objective of this study was to assess the clinical course of patients undergoing planned percutaneous carotid stenting followed by staged coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Coexisting carotid and coronary atherosclerotic disease is relatively common. A combined or staged surgical approach has a composite stroke, myocardial infarction, or death rate of > 10%. We performed a retrospective search of our single-institution database to identify all patients scheduled to undergo staged carotid stenting followed by CABG. Twenty-three such patients (17 males, 6 females) were identified, with 3/23 (13%) requiring bilateral carotid stenting. Most carotid lesions were asymptomatic (18/26; 69.2%) and severe (mean stenosis, 82.9% 6+/- 8.6%). Stents were successfully placed in 26/26 carotid arteries (100%). One stent procedure (1/26; 3.8%) resulted in a minor stroke, but full recovery occurred within 1 week. There were no other peri-stenting complications. Three patents (3/23; 13%), none of whom suffered an adverse event at carotid stenting, elected not to undergo CABG. The mean interval from last carotid stent to CABG was 69.6 6 +/- 39.6 days (range, 8-157 days). Antiplatelet therapy was ceased > 3 days prior to CABG in 10/20 patients (50%), but continued until surgery in the remainder. There were no peri-CABG bleeding or neurological complications, but one myocardial infarction occurred (1/20; 5%). Therefore, of the 20 patients who underwent planned carotid stenting followed by CABG, our overall rate of death, stroke, or myocardial infarction was 10%. However, our rate of death, persistent stroke or myocardial infarction was 5%. Planned carotid stenting followed by staged CABG is a viable method of treatment for patients with coexistent carotid and coronary atherosclerosis. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the early results of combined coronary artery bypass graft surgery and carotid endarterectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective and ongoing analysis of patients who underwent combined coronary artery bypass graft surgery and carotid endarterectomy. SETTING: Cardiothoracic unit in a London teaching hospital. PATIENTS: From June 1987 to March 1995, 64 patients were identified. They were patients who were scheduled to have coronary artery bypass graft surgery or required urgent coronary revascularisation and who were found to have significant coexistent carotid disease. (Unilateral carotid stenosis > 70%, bilateral carotid stenosis > 50%, or unilateral carotid stenosis > 50% with contralateral occlusion.) INTERVENTIONS: Both procedures were performed during one anaesthesia: the carotid endarterectomy was performed first without cardiopulmonary bypass. After completion of carotid endarterectomy, coronary artery bypass graft surgery was performed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The incidence of stroke, transient ischaemic attack, and myocardial infarction in the early postoperative period was analysed. RESULTS: Myocardial revascularisation was successful in all 64 patients. There were no perioperative infarcts. In three patients (4.7%) a new neurological deficit developed postoperatively: two recovered fully before hospital discharge. CONCLUSIONS: Combined coronary artery bypass graft surgery and carotid endarterectomy were performed safely and with good results. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Implantation of a carotid artery stent after predilation is a standard approach in the endovascular treatment of carotid artery stenoses. Stenting without predilation may be an alternative approach in a certain subset of patients. The present prospective, single-center registry was designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of direct carotid artery stenting (DCAS) in high-risk patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Symptomatic patients with stenosis >50% and asymptomatic patients with stenosis >70% were eligible for enrolment. Criteria for high-risk patients included: need or history of open heart surgery, history of myocardial infarction, multivessel coronary artery disease, left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction < or =40%), severe pulmonary or renal disease, significant contralateral carotid disease, previous endarterectomy, and age > or =80 years. All procedures were performed using a filter protection device. Patients underwent complete clinical examination before and after DCAS and at 30-day follow-up. A total of 83 consecutive patients (45 males, 68+/-9 years, 33% symptomatic) underwent 100 procedures and 103 stents were deployed successfully. The technical success rate of stenting was 100%. Predilation of carotid stenosis was necessary in 1 (1%) procedure. Carotid-artery stenoses before and after DCAS were 80+/-9% and 7+/-9%, respectively. The median fluoroscopic time for DCAS was 7 min. The overall rate of in-hospital major adverse cerebrovascular events (death, stroke, myocardial infarction) was 5% (2 minor strokes, 3 transient attacks). There was 1 (1%) minor stroke within the 30-day follow-up. CONCLUSION: DCAS is feasible and can be performed with an acceptable risk in high-risk patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is considered an excellent alternative treatment for unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) stenoses. Most PCIs for ULMCA stenoses are performed via the transfemoral approach. The feasibility and safety of the transradial approach for this particular entity are unknown. The present study assessed the feasibility, safety and 1-year outcomes of the transradial approach for stenting of ULMCA stenoses. METHODS AND RESULTS: Of 131 consecutive patients who underwent coronary stenting for ULMCA stenoses, 113 patients (86.3%) received stenting using the transradial approach. All 113 procedures were performed with 6 or 7 French (Fr) catheters except 1 procedure requiring an 8 Fr guiding catheter for directional atherectomy. The technical success rate was 100%, and angiographic success was achieved in 96 patients (85.9%). Two patients had local hematoma (1.8%), and no procedure-related deaths, Q-wave myocardial infarction, repetitive PCI, stroke or emergent coronary artery bypass graft surgery during hospitalization were noted. One (0.9%) in-hospital cardiac death occurred due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia. More than half of our patients stayed in hospital by < or =3 days. The 1-year target lesion revascularization and cardiac death rate were 14.2% and 3.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This investigation demonstrated the feasibility, safety and accepted short-term clinical outcomes of transradial stenting for ULMCA stenosis. This procedure may offer a feasible alternative to the transfemoral approach. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Acute left main coronary artery occlusion is a dramatic condition with very high mortality. The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of primary stenting in patients with left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS: Between June 1997 and April 2002, primary stenting for left main coronary artery disease was performed in 18 patients with acute myocardial infarction. We evaluated early and late clinical outcomes, and prognostic determinants in this clinical setting. RESULTS: Mean ages of patients were 59 +/- 12 years. Fourteen patients had cardiogenic shock on admission. Angiographic success (TIMI flow > or = 2 and diameter stenosis < 30% after stenting) was achieved in 17 patients (94%). In-hospital death occurred in eight patients (44%). Two patients (11%) received emergent bypass surgery because of hemodynamic instability after primary stenting. On univariate analysis, good pre-intervention TIMI flow (grade > or = 2) was identified as a good prognostic determinant of in-hospital survival. During mean follow-up of 39 +/- 22 months, there was no late death and one patient received bypass surgery. Probability of freedom from death at 3-year was 56 +/- 12%. CONCLUSION: Primary stenting is a valuable therapeutic strategy for left main coronary disease in the setting of acute myocardial infarction, and it might save the life especially in patients with good pre-intervention TIMI flow (grade > or = 2). Long-term clinical outcome of patients surviving to hospital discharge is favorable. 相似文献

Although most patients with left main coronary artery stenosis undergo urgent coronary artery bypass grafting, limited information is available regarding the risk factors that might lead to cardiac events between angiographic diagnosis and surgery. We retrospectively reviewed 1,731 cases of coronary artery bypass grafting at our institution, 97 of which were performed in patients with significant (> or = 50%) left main coronary artery stenosis. These patients were placed in 1 of 2 groups: eventful waiting or uneventful waiting. We analyzed multiple preoperative variables, and the incidence of serious cardiac events (death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, left ventricular failure, and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias) during the waiting period between angiography and surgery Four patients (4.1%) experienced serious cardiac events while awaiting surgery (1 had non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction; 3 had life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias); none died. All the events occurred more than 24 hours after cardiac catheterization. Of the preoperative variables analyzed (acute coronary syndrome, age, history of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, renal failure, severity of left main stenosis, right coronary artery involvement, ejection fraction, and use of intra-aortic balloon pump), only acute coronary syndrome predicted the incidence of preoperative cardiac events (P=0.001). The occurrence of severe cardiac events while patients await coronary artery bypass grafting is rare. Carefully selected patients with severe left main coronary artery stenosis can safely await surgery. Concomitant acute coronary syndrome and severe left main coronary artery stenosis indicate a high risk for cardiac events. Therefore, in patients with these conditions, emergency coronary artery bypass may be preferable. 相似文献

Preoperative statins have been associated with decreased mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting. Data are limited on whether these benefits extend to patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery. We examined whether preoperative statins decrease morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing isolated cardiac valve surgery. In a retrospective cohort analysis of consecutive patients who underwent surgical valve repair or replacement (excluding concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic root replacement, or ventricular assist device placement) at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, the primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included 30-day major adverse events (composite of early mortality, postoperative myocardial infarction, or stroke). Of 825 patients, 31% received preoperative statins (n = 255). Logistic regression analysis revealed that age >65 years (p = 0.02), history of congestive heart failure (p = 0.001), and total bypass time >80 minutes (p = 0.01) were independent predictors of increased 30-day mortality. Preoperative statin therapy was not associated with decreased 30-day mortality (odds ratio 0.89, 95% confidence interval 0.38 to 2.03), major adverse events (odds ratio 1.09, 95% confidence interval 0.61 to 1.96), postoperative myocardial infarction (p = 0.70), or stroke (p = 0.57). At a mean follow-up of 1.57 years, preoperative statin therapy was not associated with decreased mortality (p = 0.81). In the analysis using propensity score matching (354 propensity-matched patients, 177 in each group), preoperative statin was not associated with improved primary or secondary outcomes. In conclusion, preoperative statin therapy was not associated with a decrease in morbidity or mortality in patients undergoing isolated cardiac valve surgery. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Carotid artery stenting is being used as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy, both within the context of clinical trials and in non-surgical candidates. Though stenting is known to activate platelets, the role of antithrombotic therapy in carotid stenting has not been fully characterized. METHODS AND RESULTS: Consecutive patients (n = 162) were followed in a single-center carotid stent registry. The cumulative rate of 30-day death, stroke, transient ischemic attack and myocardial infarction in those patients receiving a thienopyridine was determined, as were rates of stent thrombosis and intracranial hemorrhage. The mean age of the patients was 70.3 years and there was an extremely high prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities, including 40% with unstable angina. The carotid lesion was symptomatic in 59% of patients. The average pre-treatment stenosis was 83%. The cumulative 30-day rate of death, stroke, transient ischemic attack and myocardial infarction was 5.6%. Specifically, in the patients who received ticlopidine (n = 23), the rate was 13%, versus 4.3% in the patients who received clopidogrel (n = 139) (p = 0.01). In this series, there were no cases of stent thrombosis and 1 intracranial hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: Dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel plus aspirin in patients receiving carotid artery stents is associated with a low rate of ischemic events. Furthermore, clopidogrel appears superior to ticlopidine. Thus, our findings lend support to the dual antiplatelet strategy of clopidogrel plus aspirin for patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. 相似文献

Iatrogenic left main coronary artery stenosis is a potentially life-threatening complication of cardiac valve replacement surgery due to injury by perfusion cannulas. This requires prompt clinical recognition and diagnosis by repeat coronary angiography, and treatment by early coronary artery bypass grafting. We present 3 patients who had normal coronary arteries prior to valve replacement surgery, and who developed severe left main coronary artery stenosis after surgery. Accelerating angina and refractory ventricular arrhythmia were presenting clinical manifestations. Coronary artery bypass grafting was successfully performed in all 3 patients. 相似文献
