RESUMO
BACKGROUND: On-pump cardiac surgery triggers sterile inflammation and postoperative complications such as postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). Hematopoietic somatic mosaicism (HSM) is a recently identified risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and results in a shift toward a chronic proinflammatory monocyte transcriptome and phenotype. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, characteristics, and impact of HSM on preoperative blood and myocardial myeloid cells as well as on outcomes after cardiac surgery. METHODS: Blood DNA from 104 patients referred for surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) was genotyped using the HemePACT panel (576 genes). Four screening methods were applied to assess HSM, and postoperative outcomes were explored. In-depth blood and myocardial leukocyte phenotyping was performed in selected patients using mass cytometry and preoperative and postoperative RNA sequencing analysis of classical monocytes. RESULTS: The prevalence of HSM in the patient cohort ranged from 29%, when considering the conventional HSM panel (97 genes) with variant allelic frequencies ≥2%, to 60% when considering the full HemePACT panel and variant allelic frequencies ≥1%. Three of 4 explored HSM definitions were significantly associated with higher risk for POAF. On the basis of the most inclusive definition, HSM carriers exhibited a 3.5-fold higher risk for POAF (age-adjusted OR: 3.5; 95% CI: 1.52-8.03; P = 0.003) and an exaggerated inflammatory response following AVR. HSM carriers presented higher levels of activated CD64+CD14+CD16- circulating monocytes and inflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages in presurgery myocardium. CONCLUSIONS: HSM is frequent in candidates for AVR, is associated with an enrichment of proinflammatory cardiac monocyte-derived macrophages, and predisposes to a higher incidence of POAF. HSM assessment may be useful in the personalized management of patients in the perioperative period. (Post-Operative Myocardial Incident & Atrial Fibrillation [POMI-AF]; NCT03376165).

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: To evaluate whether the simplified valve-sparing technique (SVST) implies clinical outcomes comparable or not with those of established David technique in the surgery of aortic root. METHODS: We collected the records of patients who had undergone aortic root surgery with the SVST or standard David technique (SDT) at our institution between January 2009 and December 2018. The primary endpoints were the incidence of all-cause death, reoperation for any reason, and postoperative complications. The secondary endpoint was the midterm incidence of reoperation for aortic valve regurgitation. RESULTS: A total of 169 patients who underwent aortic root surgery were analyzed. SDT and SVST were performed in 48 (28.4%) and in 121 (71.6%) patients, respectively. Thirty-day mortality occurred in 0% and 0.8% of patients in the SDT and SVST groups, respectively. The rate of postoperative new permanent pacemaker implantation was 6.3% (three patients) and 0.8% (one patient) in SDT and SVST cohort, respectively (p = .07). The incidence of postoperative thromboembolic stroke was 6.3% and 2.5% in SDT and SVST groups, respectively (p = .23). The median follow-up time was 29 (23-47) months. During the FU period, no differences were found between two cohorts in terms of all-cause mortality (p = .99), the incidence of reoperation (p = .19), and incidence of aortic valve regurgitation requiring reoperation (p = .58). CONCLUSIONS: The SVST appears to be safe and feasible showing early clinical results comparable to the SDT. Nevertheless, further studies with larger series and long-term follow-ups are required to demonstrate its safety and efficacy.

BACKGROUND: Data evaluating the impact of positive vascular margins (PVMs) following surgical resection of non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with inferior vena cava (IVC) tumor thrombus are lacking. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the oncological impact of positive vascular margins following surgical resection of RCC with IVC tumor thrombus. METHODS: Patients who underwent radical nephrectomy with the removal of IVC tumour thrombus for RCC between 2000 and 2019 were included. PVMs were identified from pathology reports defined as microscopically identified tumour present in the IVC wall at the site of resection or in case of thrombus was not completely removed. To achieve balance in baseline characteristics between patients with PVMs versus negative vascular margins, we used inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on the propensity score. Local recurrence, distant metastasis and overall mortality were evaluated between groups using Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS: 209 patients were analyzed. Among them, 49 (23%) patients with PVMs were identified. Median follow-up was 55 months. After adjustment, excellent balance was achieved for most propensity score variables. In IPTW analysis, PVMs was associated with a higher risk of local recurrence (HR = 3.66; p < 0.001) without any impact on systemic recurrence (HR = 1.15; p = 0.47) or overall mortality (HR = 1.23; p = 0.48). Limitations include the sample size and unmeasured confounding. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that a PVMs in patients with RCC after nephrectomy with thrombectomy is associated with a higher risk of local recurrence, however, it did not appear to influence the risk of distant metastasis or death.

BACKGROUND: A relevant morning-afternoon variation in ischemia-reperfusion (IR) insult after cardiac surgery has been demonstrated. We speculated that the biorhythm might also impact systemic reactions involved in acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery. We aimed at investigating incidence, determinants and prognostic impact of AKI in a large cohort of patients referred for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) according to surgery time-of-day. METHODS: Between 2009 and 2015, we explored consecutive patients referred to our Heart Valve Center (CHU Lille) for first SAVR. Patients undergoing morning and afternoon SAVR were matched into pairs by propensity score and followed for major events (ME) i.e. cardiovascular death, cardiac hospitalization for acute heart failure (HF) and post-operative myocardial infarction. AKI was defined using KDIGO classification. RESULTS: In the matched population (nâ¯=â¯596 patients), AKI occurred in 20% of patients. After multivariable adjustment, medical history of hypertension, pre-operative renal function impairment and cardio-pulmonary bypass duration were independent predictors of AKI onset. Post-operative AKI was significantly associated with increased occurrence of ME and specifically of cardiac hospitalization for HF (pâ¯=â¯0.0035 and pâ¯=â¯0.0071, respectively) during the 500â¯days following SAVR. Finally, AKI occurrence and severity were similar between morning and afternoon groups (pâ¯=â¯0.98 and pâ¯=â¯0.99, respectively). CONCLUSION: We showed that despite current high-quality patient management during and following SAVR, peri-operative AKI remains frequent, developing in 20% of patients, and clearly worsens mid-term post-operative outcomes. AKI more often develops in patients with pre-operative chronic kidney disease and long duration of cardiac surgery but is not influenced by surgery time-of-day.

BACKGROUND: On-pump cardiac surgery provokes a predictable perioperative myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury which is associated with poor clinical outcomes. We determined the occurrence of time-of-the-day variation in perioperative myocardial injury in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement and its molecular mechanisms. METHODS: We studied the incidence of major adverse cardiac events in a prospective observational single-centre cohort study of patients with severe aortic stenosis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (>50%) who were referred to our cardiovascular surgery department at Lille University Hospital (Lille, France) for aortic valve replacement and underwent surgery in the morning or afternoon. Patients were matched into pairs by propensity score. We also did a randomised study, in which we evaluated perioperative myocardial injury and myocardial samples of patients randomly assigned (1:1) via permuted block randomisation (block size of eight) to undergo isolated aortic valve replacement surgery either in the morning or afternoon. We also evaluated human and rodent myocardium in ex-vivo hypoxia-reoxygenation models and did a transcriptomic analysis in myocardial samples from the randomised patients to identify the signalling pathway(s) involved. The primary objective of the study was to assess whether myocardial tolerance of ischaemia-reperfusion differed depending on the timing of aortic valve replacement surgery (morning vs afternoon), as measured by the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and admission to hospital for acute heart failure). The randomised study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02812901. FINDINGS: In the cohort study (n=596 patients in matched pairs who underwent either morning surgery [n=298] or afternoon surgery [n=298]), during the 500 days following aortic valve replacement, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events was lower in the afternoon surgery group than in the morning group: hazard ratio 0·50 (95% CI 0·32-0·77; p=0·0021). In the randomised study, 88 patients were randomly assigned to undergo surgery in the morning (n=44) or afternoon (n=44); perioperative myocardial injury assessed with the geometric mean of perioperative cardiac troponin T release was significantly lower in the afternoon group than in the morning group (estimated ratio of geometric means for afternoon to morning of 0·79 [95% CI 0·68-0·93; p=0·0045]). Ex-vivo analysis of human myocardium revealed an intrinsic morning-afternoon variation in hypoxia-reoxygenation tolerance, concomitant with transcriptional alterations in circadian gene expression with the nuclear receptor Rev-Erbα being highest in the morning. In a mouse Langendorff model of hypoxia-reoxygenation myocardial injury, Rev-Erbα gene deletion or antagonist treatment reduced injury at the time of sleep-to-wake transition, through an increase in the expression of the ischaemia-reperfusion injury modulator CDKN1a/p21. INTERPRETATION: Perioperative myocardial injury is transcriptionally orchestrated by the circadian clock in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement, and Rev-Erbα antagonism seems to be a pharmacological strategy for cardioprotection. Afternoon surgery might provide perioperative myocardial protection and lead to improved patient outcomes compared with morning surgery.

The reimplantation technique for valve-sparing aortic root replacement is increasingly used to treat aortic root pathology. The systematic approach described by El Khoury in 2009 and modified in 2011 using the Valsava graft is simple and reproducible. However, in-conduit suturing of the aortic valve annulus and small rim of sinus remnant to the graft sinuses is time-consuming and may lead to bleeding or distortion of the prosthetic root. We describe a simple technique to facilitate the native valve reimplantation.

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to provide bedside evidence of the potential link between cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction and arrhythmia as reported in bench studies. BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent complication of cardiac surgery. Underlying mechanisms of post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) remain largely unknown. Because cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported in clinical conditions with a high risk of POAF, we investigated whether a causal link exists between POAF onset and pre-operative function of cardiac mitochondria. METHODS: Pre-operative mitochondrial respiration and calcium retention capacity, respiratory complex activity, and myocardial oxidative stress were quantified in right atrial tissue from 104 consecutive patients with metabolic syndrome, in sinus rhythm, and undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. RESULTS: In this high-risk population, POAF occurred in 44% of patients. Decreased pre-operative mitochondrial respiration and increased sensitivity to calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening were significantly associated with POAF. Adenosine diphosphate-stimulated mitochondrial respiration supported by palmitoyl-l-carnitine was significantly lower in POAF patients and remained independently associated with AF onset after adjustment for age, body mass index, heart rate, beta-blocker use, and statin medication (multivariate logistic regression coefficient per unit = -0.314 ± 0.144; p = 0.028). Gene expression profile analysis identified a general downregulation of the mitochondria/oxidative phosphorylation gene cluster in pre-operative atrial tissue of patients in whom AF developed. CONCLUSIONS: Our prospective study identifies an association between pre-operative mitochondrial dysfunction of the atrial myocardium and AF occurrence after cardiac surgery in patients with metabolic disease, providing novel insights into the link between mitochondria and arrhythmias in patients.

OBJECTIVES: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) has been recognized as a potent proinflammatory mediator that may induce myocardial dysfunction. Mechanisms by which MIF affects cardiac function are not completely elucidated; yet, some macrophage migration inhibitory effects have been related to changes in cytoskeleton architecture. We hypothesized that MIF-induced myocardial dysfunction and mitochondrial respiration deficit could be related to cardiac cell microtubule dynamics alterations. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized study. SETTING: Experimental Cardiovascular Laboratory, University Hospital. SUBJECTS: Human myocardial (atrial) trabeculae. INTERVENTIONS: Atrial trabeculae were obtained at the time of cardiac surgery. Isometrically contracting isolated human right atrial trabeculae were exposed to MIF (100 ng/mL) for 60 minutes, in the presence or not of pretreatment with colchicine (10 µM), a microtubule-depolymerizing agent, or paclitaxel (10 µM) a microtubule-stabilizing agent. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Maximal active isometric tension curve and developed isometric force were studied. Trabeculae were then permeabilized for mitochondrial respiration studies using high-resolution oxygraphy. Heart fiber electron microscopy and visualization of ßIV tubulin and polymerized actin by confocal microscopy were used to evaluate sarcomere and microtubule disarray. Compared with controls, MIF elicited cardiac contractile and mitochondrial dysfunction, which were largely prevented by pretreatment with colchicine, but not by paclitaxel. Pretreatment with colchicine prevented MIF-induced microtubule network disorganization, excessive tubulin polymerization, and mitochondrial fragmentation. Compound-C, an inhibitor of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), partially prevented contractile dysfunction, suggesting that cardiac deleterious effects of MIF were related to AMPK activation. CONCLUSIONS: MIF depresses human myocardial contractile function and impairs mitochondrial respiration. Changes in microtubule network likely promote MIF-induced cardiac dysfunction by 1) altering with mitochondrial tubular assembly and outer membrane permeability for adenine nucleotides leading to energy deficit, 2) excessive tubulin polymerization that may impede cardiomyocyte viscosity and motion, and 3) interfering with AMPK pathway.

BACKGROUND: The surgical management of renal tumours with thrombi in the inferior vena cava (IVC) has become the gold standard treatment. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endoluminal occlusion of the IVC during radical nephrectomy with either retrohepatic (level II) or suprahepatic (level III) caval tumour thrombus. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: From January 2000 to October 2007, 28 consecutive patients with renal cell carcinoma presenting a thrombus level II or III were treated with endoluminal occlusion of the free IVC cranial. SURGICAL PROCEDURE: The occlusion balloon was positioned under transesophageal echography (TEE) control through a cavotomy performed at the level of the renal vein ostium. Thrombectomy and radical nephrectomy were then performed. MEASUREMENTS: Operative time, perioperative bleeding, and pre- and postoperative complications were assessed. Overall patient survival time, disease-free survival, and development of metastasis were assessed. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Caval thrombectomy was performed successfully in all patients. IVC replacement with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft or patch closure after lateral cavectomy was performed in 10 and 4 patients, respectively. Average operative time was 160 min (range: 120-210). There was no perioperative mortality. The complications were one splenectomy and one early thrombosis of the IVC. Mean length of follow-up was 22.1 mo (range: 3-90). There was no local or IVC tumour recurrence. Cause-specific death and metastasis occurred in six (21.4%) and nine patients (32.1%), respectively. Thirteen patients (46.4%) are disease-free. CONCLUSIONS: Endoluminal occlusion of the IVC with TEE monitoring for level II and III thrombus avoided a suprahepatic or subdiaphragmatic approach of the IVC. Segmental resection and reconstruction of the IVC could also be performed in case of adherent thrombi.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate endoluminal occlusion of the inferior vena cava (IVC) during surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with either retrohepatic (level II) or suprahepatic (level III) caval tumour thrombus. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From January 2000 to February 2005, 31 patients with renal vein/IVC involvement (T3b/c) of 278 who had a radical nephrectomy, were selected for review. Of these 31, 13 consecutive patients with RCC presenting a thrombus level II or III were prospectively treated with endoluminal occlusion of the free IVC cranial to the thrombus, to avoid dissection of the suprahepatic IVC or the subdiaphragmatic IVC. The occlusion balloon was positioned using transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) control through a cavotomy at the ostium of the renal vein. Thrombectomy and radical nephrectomy were then performed. The operative duration, peri-operative bleeding, and complications during and after surgery were assessed. Overall patient survival time, disease-free survival and development of metastasis were calculated. RESULTS: Caval thrombectomy was successful in all patients. The IVC needed to be replaced with an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene graft in three patients and a patch closure after lateral cavectomy was used in four. There was no case of air embolism. One case of asymptomatic tumour migration was detected during the procedure by TEE. The mean (sd) and median (range) operative duration was 170 (29) and 170 (120-210) min, and the mean number of units of packed red cells transfused during hospitalization was 5 (5) and 3 (0-16). There was no peri-operative mortality. The complications were one splenectomy and one early thrombosis of the IVC. The mean (range) follow-up was 22.1 (2-50) months. Distant metastases occurred in seven patients; there was no local or IVC tumour recurrence. Four patients died from metastatic progression and six are alive with no progression. CONCLUSION: Endoluminal occlusion of the IVC with TEE monitoring for level II and III thrombus avoided a suprahepatic or subdiaphragmatic approach to the IVC. This technique caused no major complications and was very reliable, due to TEE monitoring. Segmental resection and reconstruction of the IVC could also be used for adherent thrombi.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate strategies used for surgical management of renal cell carcinoma with a tumoral thrombus extension in the inferior vena cava (IVC). From January 2000 to December 2001, urological and vascular surgeons jointly undertook surgical treatment on 10 patients with renal cell carcinoma and tumor thrombus in the IVC. There were five women and five men, with a mean age of 60.2 years. The limit of thrombus extension, classified according to the Neves and Zincke system, was level I (renal) in one patient, level II (infrahepatic) in one, level III (retrohepatic) in three, and level IV (atrial) in five. Exposure was achieved by chevron bilateral subcostal laparotomy associated with sternotomy in three patients, bilateral subcostal laparotomy in six, and median sternolaparotomy in one. Radical nephrectomy associated with caval thrombectomy was performed in all patients. Cardiopulmonary bypass was used in four of the five level IV patients. The fifth patient was contraindicated for cardiopulmonary bypass. Transesophageal echography (TEE)-guided endoluminal occlusion of the unobstructed infradiaphragmatic IVC was performed in patients with level III thrombus. Clamping of the IVC was performed in patients with levels I and II thrombus. All procedures were assisted by continuous TEE surveillance. No intraoperative gas or tumor emboli were detected by TEE. The mean number of red blood cell units transfused during the course of hospitalization was 9.7 (range 2-22, median 9). One patient died of multiple organ failure on the day 28 after the procedure. The mean duration of hospitalization was 16 days. The mean duration of follow-up was 9.7 months. During follow-up, two of the remaining nine patients died due to tumor recurrence. Tumor recurrence was also detected in one of the seven surviving patients. Surgery for renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the IVC must be carried out in a specialized facility with the assistance of TEE surveillance and, in some cases, cardiopulmonary bypass. Operative treatment improves the prognosis of renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombus in the IVC. In patients with level III thrombus, TEE-guided endoluminal occlusion of the unobstructed infradiaphragmatic IVC simplifies surgical management by obviating the need for exposure of the retrohepatic and supradiaphragmatic IVC.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has evolved from a complex multifunctional system to the minimally invasive extracorporeal circuit (MIEC). Concerns currently exist regarding the technically demanding nature of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) procedures, the quality of anastomosis associated with it, and the difficulty in achieving "complete revascularization." Recognizing these issues, the so-called mini-CPB concept has evolved in an effort to offer the perceived benefits of OPCAB with the technical advantages of CPB and at the same time minimize the adverse effects of full-scale CPB. The first generation of MIEC had an inherited risk of gas embolisms. Therefore, there was the introduction of the resting heart system (RHS), the main characteristic of which is the venous air removal device. The aim of this study was to describe our early experience, feasibility, and safety with this system to help others who are considering introducing this technique into their clinical practice. Using this system, we operated on 30 consecutive patients. Moderate hypothermia (33 degrees C) CPB and cold intermittent antegrade cardioplegia was used. No technical incidents were encountered. One death from multiorgan failure occurred in a patient operated on for a thoraco-abdominal aneurysm. Our own short-term experience with the RHS has been very favorable, and we will continue to explore this development in CPB technology.

We report a case of two iatrogenic complications after endovascular repair of a type B aortic dissection treated for abdominal aortic branch ischemia. A rupture of the common iliac artery occurred first during the procedure. A type A dissection occurred 12 days later. The proximal part of the aortic endovascular graft had created a tear in the aortic wall resulting in a retrograde type A dissection. Although aortic endovascular grafting is apparently associated with less morbidity and mortality, potentially lethal complications, both acute and delayed, may arise.
