一期次全或全主动脉替换术的中期随访结果

Objective To summarize the experience of one-stage total and subtotal aortic replacement for aneurysm evolving the entire aorta and show the midterm results of the operation. Methods From February 2004 to July 2008, 22 patients (17 men and 5 women, age ranged from 19 to 47 years old) underwent one-stage total or subtotal aortic replacement under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and selective antegrade cerebral perfusion. Seven patients received subtotal aortic replacement (from the aortic valve to the abdominal aorta). Fifteen patients underwent total aortic replacement (from the aortic valve to the aortic bifurcation). Patients were opened with a mid-stornotomy and a thoracoabdominal incision. First, the ascending aorta was replaced; following which the aortic arch was reconstructed. Finally, the thoracoabdominal aorta was fully replaced. Results Thirty-day mortality was 4. 5% (1/22). One patient died of multiple organ failure 11 days postoperatively. Two patients had cerebral infarction secondary to embolism. Spinal neurological deficits didn't occur. Twenty-one patients survived the operation and were followed up for 3 to 56 months (35.0±16. 9 months). There was no late death. One patient received aortic valve replacement due to aortic valve regurgitation one year after David and total aortic replacement.Conclusion One-stage total and subtotal aortic replacement is an effective operation for aneurysm evolving the whole length of the aorta with acceptable mortality and morbidity. Midterm follow-up showed satisfactory results.

Abstract：

Objective Stanford type A acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening medical condition with high rates of morbidity and mortality that requires surgical repair, on an emergency basis. The extent of aortic arch repair that should be carried out during emergency surgery of this type is controversial. This study was conducted to report clinical experience on aortic arch repair and determine surgical indication, optimal operative procedures and strategy for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection. Methods 210 consecutive patients with acute Stanford A aortic dissection who underwent aortic arch replacement combined with implantation of stented elephant trunk into the descending aorta between August 2005 and August 2010. Surgical procedures included hemi-aortic arch replacement in 92 patients, subtotal aortic arch replacement in 50 patients and total aortic arch replacement in 68 patients. All operations were performed with the aid of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP). Enhanced computed tomography scanning was performed to evaluate the postoperative outcomes, particularly the fate of the false lumen remaining in the descending thoracic aorta by aortic arch replacement combined with implantation of stented elephant trunk during follow up. Results Average cardiopulmonary bypass time was (146 ±52) min. The average cross clamp time was(93 ±25)min and average selective cerebral perfusion and circulatory arrest time was(35 ±14)min. The overall in-hospital mortality was 4. 8% (10/210) and morbidity was 8. 6% ( 18/210). Postoperative complications included acute renal failure, stroke, mediastinitis and respiratory insufficiency. During the follow-up period [mean (27 ± 18) months, ranged 2 to 60 months], 1 patient underwent reoperation due to the descending thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm. There was no late death. Follow-up enhanced CT scanning showed about 74% false lumens obliterated at the level of the distal border of the stent graft post operation. Conclusion Open aortic arch replacement is an effective approach and provides acceptable outcomes for type A acute aortic dissection. Optimal treatment strategy is the key factor to success in emergency surgical intervention.

Ross术后中远期主动脉瓣反流的危险因素分析

Objective To analyze the risk factors of the postoperative mid- and long-term aortic valvular regurgitation after ROSS procedure(pulmanary valve homograft transplantation). Methods Between March 1998 and July 2007,47 patients[25male, 22 female, mean age (13.31±5.79) years, ronge 1-34 years] with aortic valvular disease underwent the Ross procedure at our insti tution. There were 6 patients suffering fron rheumatic heart disease and 41 patients suffering from congenital heart disease. The aver age aortic blood flow velocity was (4.67±3.47) m/s, the average pressure gradient across aortic valve (88.26±58.06)mm Hg, LVEDD (45.53 ±10.78) mm, EF 0.69±0.08. All the patients were followed up in out-patient departement by ultrasonic cardio gram. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to find out the risk factors of the postive aortic valvular regurgitation. Results There was no poetoperative death in hospital. The mean follow-up periods was (36.15±22.1) months, rasnge from 12 to 110 months and none long-dated death. Compared with the data recorded in hospital, the diamenters of the aortic sinus and aortic annu lus enlarged significantly, respectively from (26.16±5.10) mm to (32.37±6.84) tam and from (19.41 ～3.98) mm to (23.45± 5.86) mm. The average flow velocity d the homograft (new aortic valve) was(1.39±0.48) m/s, graclient pressure (8.17+6.16) mm Hg. Mild aortic regurgitstion was present in 5 patients (10.6%), moderate aortic tegmgitafion in 2 pmieats (4.3%) and aevere aortic regurgitation in 1 petient (2.1%). The rate of free from regurgitation was 82.9%. Multiple logistic analyses identified the per esence of bicuspid aortic valve, enlargement of aortic annulus and age above 14 years as the risk factors for posterative aortic regurg itation. Conclusion The Ross procedure is a safe and effective procedure with good clinical results in mid-and long-term follow-up. However, the presence of bicuspid aortic valve, enlargement of aortic annulus and age above 14 years preoperatively were identified as the risk factors for postoperative aortic regurgitation.

Reoperation for coronary artery disease in the young: early and mid-term results

Background As the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) at young age is high in Asian countries, the number of coronary reoperations in this group of patients is increasing. The aim of this study was to define the incidence, risk factors and to discuss the methods of re-revascularization and early to mid-term outcomes in these patients. Methods This study is a retrospective analysis of the data of patients who underwent primary coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) before the age of 45 years and underwent reoperation for recurrence of angina due to progression of native coronary artery disease and, or, graft occlusion. The data was also analyzed with regards to the risk factors contributing to the recurrence of the disease and the short to mid-term outcomes. During a six year period from January 1998 to October 2004, a total of 68 patients had reoperation for recurrence of angina. The mean interval of presentation following primary CABG was 12.48±3.11 years (ranged from 8 months to 16 years). Reoperation was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in 63 patients and in the remaining five patients on beating heart without using CPB. Results Reoperation accounted for 4.6% of 2478 patients who underwent CABG between January 1998 through October 2004 at our institute. Among these 114 patients, 68 patients underwent primary CABG before the age of 45 years. These 68 patients received a total of 214 grafts (3.14 grafts per patient) of which 169 grafts were re-anastamosed to previously grafted target arteries. Left internal mammary artery was used in 61 patients (89.7%) who required graft to left anterior descending coronary artery at reoperation. The early mortality was 4.4% (3 out of 68). Two patients (2.94%) had perioperative myocardial infarction and two more patients were re-explored for mediastinal bleeding. Freedom from recurrence of symptom of angina at 2 and 4 years was 98.01%, 94.5% respectively. Conclusions Redo CABG is associated with higher morbidity and mortality when compared to first-time CABG. Perioperative myocardial infarction and left ventricular dysfunction contribute significantly to the increased risk of redo CABG.

Outcomes of total aortic arch replacement with coronary artery bypass grafting

There are few reports regarding outcomes of total aortic arch replacement (TAAR) with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to analyze outcomes after total arch replacement with CABG in our institute. Between July 2006 and December 2010, 126 patients underwent elective total arch replacement with or without CABG. Of these patients, 56 had concomitant CABG. The mean age was 73.9±5.6 years. Fifteen patients were female. Six patients had chronic aortic dissection, and two patients had previous aortic operations. Total arch replacement was performed with selective cerebral perfusion and the elephant trunk procedure. The mean number of coronary anastomoses was 1.9±1.0. An internal thoracic artery (ITA) and saphenous vein graft were used in 37 (66.1%) and 47 (83.9%) patients, respectively. Only the anastomosis between the in-situ ITA and the left anterior descending artery (LADA) was performed after declamping the aorta using the on-pump beating technique. Operative mortality was 3.6%. Stroke occurred in 7.1% of patients. Early graft patency of bypass grafts was 100%. Composite outcomes of mortality and the rate of major complications of patients with CABG was 19.6%.

目的总结非体外循环心脏跳动下冠状动脉内膜剥脱后行非体外循环冠状动脉旁路移植术（off—pump CABG）治疗弥漫性冠状动脉病变的早期临床结果和经验，以提高手术疗效。方法2003年5月～2006年11月，对83例弥漫性冠状动脉病变患者在非体外循环下做冠状动脉内膜剥脱后行off—pump CABG，其中男61例，女22例；年龄55-80岁（65±7岁）；加拿大心脏病协会（CCS）心绞痛分级：Ⅱ级7例，Ⅲ级20例，Ⅳ级56例。有心肌梗死史36例（43．4％）。冠状动脉造影显示：双支血管病变5例，3支病变78例，其中合并左主干病变16例。左心室射血分数25％～65％（51％±16％）。83例共行110支冠状动脉内膜剥脱，其中左前降支系统67支，回旋支、钝缘支9支，右冠状动脉系统34支。20例内膜剥脱后先用大隐静脉片行左前降支成形，再在补片上用乳内动脉行旁路血管移植；应用左乳内动脉83支，桡动脉2支，余均为大隐静脉，每例移植血管3．9±1．2支。结果无手术死亡。术中移植血管血流满意101支（92％），血流量为22±16ml／min。术后发生心肌梗死4例，梗死面积小，无血流动力学改变，未给予特殊治疗。83例患者皆痊愈出院。随访75例（90．4％），8例失访，随访时间8～50个月，无心绞痛发作。8例患者在手术后3～29个月复查冠状动脉造影显示：冠状动脉内膜剥脱后行off—pump CABG的移植血管均通畅。结论非体外循环下冠状动脉内膜剥脱后行off—pump CABG，安全可行，再血管化程度高，是治疗弥漫性冠状动脉病变的有效方法。     

Surgical strategy for critical aoritc stenosis with small aortic annulus in the elderly patients

BACKGROUND: There are an increasing number of elderly patients with critical aortic stenosis. This study was performed to evaluate the surgical outcome of aortic valve surgery for elderly patients with aortic stenosis. METHODS: Eleven patients aged over 75 years old (mean 79.7 +/- 4.4) underwent aortic valve replacement with stented bioprosthesis from May 2001 to August 2004. All of the patients had a history of congestive heart failure, syncope, or angina pectoris with multiple medical problems including renal dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, cerebral infarction, or coronary artery disease. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification ranged II to IV (mean 2.8 +/- 0.7). Their logistic Euro score ranged from 2.56 to 41.61 (mean 8.6 +/- 10.9). The concomitant procedures were annular enlargement in 2 and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 3 patients. RESULTS: All patients tolerated these procedures well and were discharged except 1 patient who died from arrhythmia on the postoperative day 14. Postoperative echocardiogram after 3 months showed satisfactory decrease in peak left ventricular-aortic pressure gradient as well as left ventricular mass regression. All surviving patients are in NYHA class I. CONCLUSIONS: Aortic valve replacement provided satisfactory results for elderly patients. Surgical treatment should be considered even for the elderly patients with critical aortic stenosis under meticulous perioperative management.     

How to Avoid Problems in Redo Coronary Artery Bypass

ABSTRACT Background: Redo cardiac surgery still carries higher mortality and increased morbidity as compared with primary coronary revascularizations. Various steps can be taken to decrease the incidences of adverse outcomes. From our experience, we have accumulated safe steps to be taken during the surgical procedure to reach a positive outcome. Methods: We reviewed our own experience of redo coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) at two institutions during the last 4 years. Though the surgeons were the same at both institutions, because of institutional variability of patient referrals, operative equipment, anesthesia management, and preoperative care, we kept the data separate. Five surgeons performed CABG with almost similar myocardial preservation techniques; however, the surgical skill varied slightly depending on the seniority and clinical experience. We performed 433 redo coronary artery revascularizations at one institution and 201 in the second institution. Fifteen percent of these patients also had additional procedures, such as valve repair, valve replacement, or aneurysm resection. In this patient group, 160 patients underwent either urgent or emergent CABG. Urgent surgery was defined as patient revascularization during the same admission as cardiac catheterization, and emergency surgery was defined as a patient undergoing surgery on the same day as the catheterization, especially when hemodynamic instability was present. The total mortality was 7%, while the elective redo CABG mortality was 3%. The length of stay ranged from 8.5 to 12.6 days. The morbidity included perioperative stroke in 18 patients and nonfatal perioperative myocardial infarction (MI) in 19 patients. Major factors contributing to the mortality were stroke, perioperative bleeding and exploration, renal failure, respiratory failure, and malnutrition. Conclusion: We outlined the precautions and safe surgical approaches to be undertaken during redo CABG for a successful outcome.
