RESUMEN

Objective Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are generally older and frailty is therefore an important clinical issue. The baseline degree of frailty is associated with the prognosis in patients undergoing TAVI; however, the incidence of in-hospital frailty progression and its influencing factors have not yet been elucidated. Methods This observational, single-center study retrospectively evaluated 281 patients who underwent TAVI. The degree of frailty at baseline and discharge was evaluated using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). In-hospital frailty progression was defined as an increase of at least one level in the CFS score at discharge from baseline, and predictors of frailty progression were assessed. Results The median baseline CFS score was 4.0 (interquartile range: 3.0-4.0). In-hospital frailty progression was observed in 49 patients (17.4%). No significant differences were observed in age, sex, comorbidities, or surgical risk scores between patients with and without frailty progression. Patients with frailty progression experienced stroke more frequently during hospitalization than those without (12.2% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.001). A multivariable logistic analysis showed that in-hospital stroke was a significant predictor of frailty progression (odds ratio, 10.7; 95% confidence interval: 2.34-49.2, p = 0.002). Patients with frailty progression had a longer hospital stay than those without frailty progression [7.0 (4.0-17.0) vs. 4.0 (4.0-8.0) days, p = 0.001]. Conclusions In-hospital frailty progression was not uncommon in patients undergoing TAVI. Stroke incidence was a significant influencing factor in frailty progression, whereas baseline comorbidities and surgical risks were not.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: A cutting stapler is a well-established instrument in many surgical fields. However, its efficacy and safety have not been proven yet in resecting a left atrial appendage (LAA) in minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS). METHODS: A cutting stapler was used to resect the LAA in 98 consecutive patients who underwent MICS. Of these, 26 patients underwent aortic valve replacement, 72 mitral valve repair/replacement, 25 tricuspid annuloplasty, 7 closure of atrial septal defect, and 26 the Maze procedure (contains overlapping). The ascending aorta was elevated using a retractor, and a 12-mm shaft motor-driven cutting stapler was inserted through the transverse sinus. As a control group, 150 patients who underwent suture resection/closure of the LAA either from inside or outside were compared. RESULTS: There was one mortality in each group. They were not related to the LAA resection/closure. In the suture group, the LAA suture was taken down in one patient because of a suspected obstruction of the circumflex artery, and two patients had re-exploration for bleeding from the LAA. In the stapler group, there was no complication related with the LAA. The rate of complication did not reach a statistical difference. CONCLUSION: A cutting stapler is considered to be a useful instrument to resect the LAA in MICS.

RESUMEN

Totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement (TE-AVR) is still challenging, and few series report exist even today. In 2015, we started to use three-dimensional (3D) endoscope and we also introduced TE-AVR. Patient is placed in the partial left lateral position. The main wound is created in right antero-lateral 4th intercostal space through 4 cm skin incision. No rib spreader is used. 3D endoscope is inserted on the mid-axillary line. A 5 mm trocar was inserted in the 3rd intercostal space, thus creating 3-port setting similarly to that for endoscopic mitral valve surgery. All sutures are tied using a knot-pusher. We have performed 106 cases of TE-AVR. Compared with transaxillary AVR, there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the hospital deaths or MACCE. Postoperative hospital stays became shorter in totally endoscopic group. In conclusion, TE-AVR was possible through 3 ports created in the right antero-lateral chest similarly to the endoscopic mitral valve surgery. Transaxillary approach seemed to be suitable for the TE-AVR. By adopting common approach for both mitral valve surgery and aortic valve surgery, endoscopic double valve surgery could be performed seamlessly.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement (AVR) is still a challenging operation, and only a few series reports exist in the literature. The purposes of this study were to establish a method for endoscopic AVR and evaluate its initial results. METHODS: A total of 47 patients (median age 76 years, 17 men) underwent endoscopic AVR. The main wound was created in the right anterolateral 4th intercostal space through a 4-cm skin incision. No rib spreader was used. A 3-dimensional endoscope was inserted at the midaxillary line. A 5.5-mm trocar was inserted in the 3rd intercostal space, thus creating a 3-port setting similar to that used for endoscopic mitral valve surgery. A standard prosthesis was used, and the sutures were tied using a knot pusher. Results were compared with those of 157 patients who underwent right transaxillary AVR with direct vision plus endoscopic assist. RESULTS: Patient backgrounds did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. No deaths occurred in the entire series. There was no conversion to thoracotomy or sternotomy in the endoscopic AVR group. The complication rate did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. The total operating time was significantly shorter in endoscopic AVR (188-206 min); the cardiopulmonary bypass time (130-128 min) and the cross-clamp time (90-95 min) did not differ significantly (median, endoscopic AVR, right transaxillary AVR). Two patients underwent endoscopic double-valve (aortic and mitral) surgery under the same conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic AVR was possible through 3 ports created in the right anterolateral chest, similar to the procedure for endoscopic mitral valve surgery. By adopting a common approach for both the aortic and the mitral valve operations, endoscopic double-valve surgery can be performed seamlessly.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Reports are few on the long-term patency of bilateral internal thoracic artery (BITA) grafts in patients with diabetes. We evaluated the relationship between the long-term patency of BITAs and the clinical outcomes in diabetes. METHODS: We retrospectively identified 569 patients (321 with diabetes, 248 without diabetes) who underwent isolated BITA grafting for left-sided complete revascularization at our institution from 2000 to 2015. The primary end point was the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events comprising death, re-revascularization, and myocardial infarction. The secondary end point was the patency of the BITAs. RESULTS: No differences were found in the major adverse cardiovascular event rate (10-year: diabetic group, 33.7%; nondiabetic group, 22.3%; p = 0.15) or overall mortality rate (24.0% versus 12.2%, p = 0.066) between the patients with and without diabetes. The incidence of cardiac death (3.3% versus 1.8%, p = 0.80) or re-revascularization and myocardial infarction (11.4% versus 11.8%, p = 0.67) was similar between the groups. The patency of free internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts to the left circumflex artery was associated with greater patency in patients with diabetes than in patients without diabetes (4 years: 99.3% versus 95.5%, p = 0.049); the patency of other ITA grafts did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: All-cause death, re-revascularization, and myocardial infarction showed no differences between patients with and without diabetes who underwent left-sided revascularization with the BITAs. Although diabetes did not affect the patency of the ITA, free ITA grafts to the left circumflex artery showed good long-term patency in patients with diabetes.

RESUMEN

PURPOSES: We assessed the validity of three-port totally endoscopic repair (3PTER) for atrial septal defect (ASD). METHODS: Between February, 2000 and November, 2017, 151 patients underwent surgery for ASD. Forty-seven patients underwent 3PTER as minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and 104 patients underwent conventional median sternotomy (CMS). Propensity matching yielded 94 matched patients (47 vs 47). We compared the early results between the groups. The 3PTER technique was performed with the patient in the partial left lateral position, under cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) established through a groin incision. The three ports consisted of a main incision (3 cm), a trocar for the left-handed instrument, and a camera port in right antero-lateral chest. RESULTS: MICS needed longer cross clamp and CPB times (57, 48-86 vs 24, 16-30 min, p < 0.01 and 115, 106-131 vs 53, 43-80 min, p < 0.01, respectively)*, although the operation time and hospital stay were significantly shorter (180, 159-203 vs 190, 161-225 min, p = 0.024 and 6.0, 6-8 vs 15, 13-19 days, p < 0.01, respectively)*. The intra-operative and postoperative bleeding were significantly less in MICS than CMS (20, 5-40 vs 225, 130-287.5 p < 0.01 and 200, 145-290 vs 340, 250-535 ml, p < 0.01, respectively)*. *: median, 25th-75th percentile. CONCLUSION: Irrespective of the longer CPB and cross-clamp time than for CMS, MICS had a shorter operation time, less bleeding, and resulted in quicker recovery. The 3PTER was safe and cosmetically excellent.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: We developed trans-right axillary aortic valve replacement (TAX-AVR) as a more cosmetically superior approach to minimally invasive AVR. We herein retrospectively compared the safety and invasiveness between TAX-AVR and conventional AVR (C-AVR). METHODS: TAX-AVR was performed under femorofemoral cardiopulmonary bypass. Creation of a small right axillary vertical skin incision was followed by anterolateral intercostal thoracotomy. AVR was performed using long-shafted minimally invasive instruments, a knot pusher and endoscopic assistance. From January 2007 to June 2016, 112 patients underwent TAX-AVR and 183 controls underwent first-time, isolated non-emergency C-AVR. The factors used to calculate the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation score and Society of Thoracic Surgeons score were adopted for propensity matching. Early mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebral events were compared. The procedural time, postoperative intensive care unit stay and hospital stay were compared as markers of invasiveness. RESULTS: Propensity matching generated 108 matched pairs with similar backgrounds. Thirty-day mortality occurred in 0 and 1 patient in the TAX-AVR and C-AVR groups, respectively. The major adverse cardiac and cerebral events rates were not significantly different between the groups. The average aortic clamp time was longer (100 vs 94 min), but the intensive care unit stay (1.2 vs 1.8 days) and hospital stay (10.0 vs 12.5 days) were shorter in the TAX-AVR group. Postoperative blood loss, transfusion and atrial fibrillation were lower in the TAX-AVR group. The average prosthesis size was 22 mm in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: TAX-AVR is as safe as C-AVR and less invasive in terms of a shorter recovery period.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the effect of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients who underwent revascularization with bilateral internal thoracic arteries (ITAs). METHODS: Between January 2000 and December 2014, 499 patients underwent isolated CABG with bilateral ITAs for complete revascularization of the left coronary system at our institution. On-pump CABG was performed in 137 patients, and off-pump CABG was performed in 362 patients. We retrospectively compared the clinical outcomes and patency of the ITAs. RESULTS: The off-pump group showed less respiratory failure and required a shorter postoperative stay than the on-pump group. The survival probability, freedom from cardiac events and early graft patency were similar in both groups. Five-year patency of the ITA anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery was significantly greater in the on-pump group than in the off-pump group (98.8% vs 91.2%, P = 0.010). The incidence of string change in the off-pump group was higher than that in the on-pump group (P = 0.017). There was no significant difference between the groups in the 5-year patency of the ITA anastomosed to the left circumflex artery (on-pump group: 93.8%, off-pump group: 91.8%; P = 0.46). CONCLUSIONS: The early graft patency and the late patency of the ITA anastomosed to the left circumflex artery between the groups were similar, implying an equivalent quality of anastomoses. However, the patency of the ITA anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery in the off-pump group showed late deterioration, mainly because of string sign development.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To predict the amino acid residues playing important roles in acetyl-CoA and substrate binding and to study the acetyl group transfer mechanism of Chryseobacterium sp. 5-3B N-acetyltransferase (5-3B NatA). RESULTS: A 3-dimensional homology model of 5-3B NatA was constructed to compare the theoretical structure of this compound with the structures of previously reported proteins belonging to the bacterial GCN5 N-acetyltransferase family. Homology modeling of the 5-3B NatA structure and a characterization of the enzyme's kinetic parameters identified the essential amino acid residues involved in binding and acetyl-group transfer. 126Leu, 132Leu, and 135Lys were implicated in the binding of phosphopantothenic acid, and 100Tyr and 131Lys in that of adenosyl biphosphate. The data supported the participation of 83Glu and 133Tyr in catalyzing acetyl-group transfer to L-2-phenylglycine. CONCLUSIONS: 5-3B NatA catalyzes the enantioselective N-acetylation of L-2-phenylglycine via a ternary complex comprising the enzyme, acetyl-CoA, and the substrate.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: We performed a retrospective study of patients who underwent a video-assisted minimally invasive right mini-thoracotomy approach for cardiac benign tumor resection compared with median sternotomy. METHODS: Of 23 patients who underwent isolated benign cardiac mass resection at the Japanese Red Cross Nagoya Daiichi Hospital from 2001 to 2014, 16 patients were treated through median sternotomy and seven were operated through right mini-thoracotomy. RESULTS: No hospital deaths occurred. The duration of operation, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and aortic clamp time showed no significant differences. Although the postoperative intubation time and intensive care unit stay time did not differ significantly between the groups, the duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the minimally invasive group (17.5 ± 5.6 vs. 10.4 ± 1.5 days; p = 0.004). All of the patients except two were followed to the late phase (late follow-up rate, 91.3%), for a mean duration of 4.7 ± 3.7 years. There were two late deaths in the sternotomy group and no recurrences in either group during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that the clinical outcome of the minimally invasive technique for myxoma resection was acceptable and the technique is feasible.
