ABSTRACT
@#Aortic valve disease is one of the major diseases threatening human health. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a new treatment for aortic disease. Preoperative evaluation is of great significance to the successful operation and the long-term quality of life of patients. The 3D printing technology can fully simulate the cardiac anatomy of patients, create personalized molds for patients, improve surgical efficiency, reduce surgical time and surgical trauma, and thus achieve better surgical results. In this review, the relevant literatures were searched, and the evaluation effect of 3D printing technology on the operation of TAVR was reviewed, so as to provide clinical reference.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To evaluate the short-term therapeutic effect of extended adventitial inversion with graft eversion anastomosis technique in the root treatment of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Methods From November 2019 to July 2020, 28 patients with ATAAD were treated by extended adventitial inversion with graft eversion anastomosis technique in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Dalian Municipal Central Hospital, including 19 males and 9 females, aged 60.11±11.11 years. The intima of the ascending aorta was trimed to 5 mm above the sinotubular junction. The adventitia of the ascending aorta was longitudinally cut to the reserved intima margin along the junction of the three aortic valves. The extended adventitial inversion was sutured continuously, no coronary sinus was sutured over the aortic annulus, and the left and right coronary sinus was sutured above the coronary ostium. The anastomotic graft was everted and inserted into the aortic lumen, and the everted graft was continuously sutured at the level of sinotubular junction which was 5 mm away from the edge of graft. Results There was no intraoperative death, intractable root hemorrhage, residual root false lumen, root dilatation, anastomotic hematoma or other complications. There was no recurrence of the pain in the back of all patients, and the results of the CT angiography were not significantly changed. In 22 patients with no regurgitation, only 1 (4.55%) patient had a mild regurgitation. In 6 patients with mild aortic regurgitation, the disappearance rate of regurgitation was 50.0% (3/6). Conclusion The treatment of extended adventitial inversion with graft eversion anastomosis technique in the root treatment of aortic dissection eliminates the residual dissection at the root. The anastomotic hemorrhage is prevented, the root structure of aortic dissection is reconstructed and strengthened, the root function is restored, and the possible expansion of the root is prevented. The short-term results are satisfactory.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To evaluate the value of myocardial perfusion change before and after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in predicting postoperative major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Methods A total of 70 CABG patients who received CABG completed by the same operator from January to November 2017 were selected, including 45 males and 25 females with an average age of 64.83±9.09 years. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the patients had MACE after 1 year of the surgery, including a non-MACE group (group A, n=60) and a MACE group (group B, n=10). The clinical data of patients were compared. Results There were statistical difference in the myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) score in the group A before and after surgery (P<0.05), and there were statistically significant differences in the left ventricular size and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) value before and 1 year after surgery (P<0.001), but no statistically significant difference in the size of left atrium (P=0.075). There was no significant difference in the preoperative and postoperative MCE score, and preoperative and postoperative 1-year cardiac ultrasound score in the group B (P>0.05). Conclusion The change of myocardial perfusion after CABG surgery is associated with postoperative MACE. The evaluation of myocardial perfusion before and after CABG surgery is of great significance for the prognosis evaluation of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the influence of brain natrluretic peptide(BNP) in the prognosis of cardiac surgery.Methods Selected 115 cases of pafients with the first cardiac surgery.Their BNP concentration was measured before operation. Observed the relationship between BNP and postoperative atrial fibrillation,mechanical ventilation time,hospital stay,and the mortality of 30 d.Results Whether the patients had hypertension,diabetes,myocardial infarction history,left main stem disease and hemoglobin level or not,showed no definite relationship with BNP (P>0.05).Preoperative lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)(P=0.002) and European system for cardiac operation risk evaluation [(5±3)scores](P=0.003) were associated with higher BNP level.Postoperative mechanical ventilation time was(15.0±5.4)h,hospital stay was (32±11) d,showed a clear relationship with BNP(P= 0.035,0.001),but postoperative mediastinal infection,atrial fibrillation and mortality of 30 d had no definite relationship with BNP(P>0.05).Conclusion BNP can be used to predict the risk after cardiac surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship of bone marrow micrometastases(BMM) with nm23 expression of breast cancer(BC) in patients with stage Ⅰ BC. Methods BMM and nm23 expression of carcinoma tissue in 52 cases of stage Ⅰ BC were examined by immunohistochemical technique with monoclonal anti epithelial membrane antigen(anti EMA) and nm23 H1. Results BMM was observed in 10 of 52 patients(19.2%). In the group of poor differentiated cancer, the positive rate of BMM was significantly higher than that in well differentiated cancer(P
