Mitral regurgitation (MR) with multi-pathogenesis is a common disease in cardiac surgery department. MR can be classified into two categories-primary mitral regurgitation and secondary mitral regurgitation. With the development of cardiac intervention, numerous patients who cannot tolerate open heart surgery for the reason of high risk of surgery receive the treatment of intervention and achieve the favorable endpoint. The technique of transcatheter therapy which could be used to treat MR is comprised of leaflet repair, annuloplasty and implantation of artificial chordae. Comparing to primary mitral regurgitation, surgical effect of secondary mitral regurgitation is not desirable for the reasons of complex pathophysiologic mechanism. Hence, based on the perspective of surgeon, we will introduce the research progress of transcatheter interventional mitral valve repair which is focused on the treatment of primary mitral valve regurgitation and reviewed from three aspects of surgical risks, surgical types and outlook.
In the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2021, the results of six clinical trials related to cardiovascular surgery were revealed. The PALACS trial demonstrated that posterior left pericardiotomy during open heart surgery was associated with a significant reduction in postoperative atrial fibrillation; the EPICCURE study found that injection of mRNA encoding vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A mRNA) directly into the myocardium of patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improved patients’ heart function; the VEST trial once again proved the safety and potential value of external stent for vein graft. This article will interpret the above-mentioned three studies.
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.
摘要:目的:探讨小切口全髋关节置换的疗效及优缺点。方法:针对性选取我院行THA的病员48例,分为初期小切口THA组、熟练小切口THA组、传统切口THA组,各组16例。记录切口长度、术中出血量、术后12小时引流量、手术时间及Harris评分,对其治疗效果进行回顾性分析。结果:初期小切口THA组平均出血量,术后12小时平均引流量,平均手术时间等指标均高于传统组,术后Harris评分低于传统组,熟练组与传统组比较,切口长度较短、术中出血量略少,术后早期Harris评分高,远期Harris评分接近。结论:熟练小切口THA与传统切口THA比较远期疗效无明显优点,初期小切口THA不具微创优势,不必强求小切口THA,并应注重学习曲线。

Objective To explore the impact of diabetes on coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG） in clinical representations, operative morbidity and mortality in this hospital. Methods Data was collected as a part of prospective registry of CABG through Sep. 2001 to Jul. 2003. Four hundreds and eighty-two patients were recruited. They were divided into diabetic group （n= 135） and non-diabetic group （n=347） depended on if the patients with diabetes or not. All patients were treated with insulin for hyperglycemia. Clinical representations, operative morbidity and mortality in this hospital between two groups were compared by using chi-square tests, t tests and logistic regression. Results Re-exploration in diabetic group was higher than that in non-diabetic group （4.4% vs. 0. 9%; x2= 6. 769, P = 0. 009）. There was no significant difference in the operative morbidity and mortality in hospital between two groups. Multi-variance logistic regression showed that the lower left ventricular ejection fraction （〈 0. 40,OR 15.96）, re-exploration （OR 32. 77） and re-intubation （OR 124.17） were the predictors of perioperative mortality in hospital. Conclusions There are no significant difference in the operative mortality and complication between patients with diabetes and patients with non-diabetes. Strict glucose control in perioperative period would reduce hospital mortality and morbidity.
Left atrial appendage occlusion is a common procedure for patients with atrial fibrillation history when they underwent cardiac surgery. Before the LAAOS Ⅲ research results, this operation has been lacking strong evidence-based support. LAAOS Ⅲ is a prospective, double-blind, international multicenter, randomized blinded trial. According to the results of LAAOS Ⅲ, the left atrial appendage occlusion can reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism. This article will perform detailed interpretation of LAAOS Ⅲ research.
Cardiac surgery presents specific challenges in conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The American Heart Association made a scientific statement of methodological standards, with the purpose to review key concepts and standards in design, implementation, and analysis of cardiac surgery RCTs, and to provide recommendations. Recommendations include an evaluation of the suitability of the research question, clinical equipoise, feasibility of enrolling a representative patient cohort, impact of practice variations on the effect of the study intervention, likelihood and impact of crossover, and duration of follow-up. Trial interventions and study end points should be predefined, and adequate deliverability of the trial interventions should be ensured. Every effort must be made to keep a high completeness of follow-up. Trial design and analytic techniques must be tailored to the specific research question and trial setting. In this paper, the authors made an interpretation of this scientific statement based on their practical experience.
ObjectiveTo analyze the platelet (PLT) count, coagulation function, and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in the patients underwent splenectomy due to different etiologies. MethodsThe patients who underwent splenectomy in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2013 to December 2022 were collected. According to the etiology, the patients were assigned into the occupying group (splenic and pancreatic occupying lesions), hypersplenism group (portal hypertension and hypersplenism), and splenic rupture group (traumatic splenic rupture). The changes of PLT, white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), neutrophils (Neut), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (Fib), D-dimer (DD), and PVT were observed after splenectomy. ResultsA total of 166 patients were collected, including 42 in the occupying group, 22 in the hypersplenism group, and 102 in the splenic rupture group. There were no statistically significant differences in the age and preoperative Child-Pugh score among the patients of the three groups (P>0.05). There were 12 (7.2%) patients with PVT, including 2 in the occupying group, 6 in the hypersplenismn group, and 4 in the splenic rupture group. The PVT incidence among the three groups had a statistical significant difference (Fisher exact test, P=0.003), which in the hypersplenismn group was higher than the occupying group (P=0.016) and the splenic rupture group (P=0.002), while there was no statistically significant difference between the occupying group and the splenic rupture group (P=1.000). The overall trend was that the PLT, RBC, WBC, and various coagulation function indicators such as PT, APTT, and Fib among the three groups all showed an upward trend immediately after splenectomy, but the postoperative peak time and change trends had no markedly regular among the three groups. The PLT of the patients with and without PVT changed over time during the observation period (patients without PVT: F=60.238, P<0.001; patients with PVT group: F=9.700, P=0.043), and which showed a continuous upward trend after surgery, reaching a peak on the 14th day and then beginning to decline in the patients of both 2 groups. However, there was no statistically significant intergroup effect between the 2 groups (F=0.056, P=0.816). ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that the peak value of PLT in the hypersplenism group is lower as compared with the occupying group and the splenic rupture group, and the PVT is more likely to occur. However, no difference of the PLT level is found in the patients without and with PVT.
