RESUMO
@#Objective To assess outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for pure native aortic valve regurgitation. Methods A total of 129 patients underwent transfemoral TAVR in Fuwai Hospital from May 2019 to October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 83 males and 46 females with an average age of 72.26±8.97 years. The patients were divided into a pure native aortic valve regurgitation group (17 patients) and an aortic valve stenosis group (112 patients). Results The incidence of valve in valve was higher in the pure native aortic valve regurgitation group (47.0% vs. 16.1%, P<0.01). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in conversion to surgery, intraoperative use of extracorporeal circulation, intraoperative left ventricular rupture, postoperative use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), peripheral vascular complications, disabled stroke, death, or pacemaker implantation. There was no statistical difference in the diameter of annulus (25.75±2.21 mm vs. 24.70±2.90 mm, P=0.068) or diameter of outflow tract (25.82±3.75 mm vs. 25.37±3.92 mm, P=0.514) between the pure native aortic valve regurgitation group and the aortic valve stenosis group. Conclusion Transfemoral TAVR is a feasible method for patients with pure native aortic valve regurgitation. The diameter of annulus plane, the diameter of outflow tract and the shape of outflow tract should be evaluated.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of peritoneal dialysis on fluid balance and outcome in children who receive cardiac operation. METHODS: From July to Dec. 2000, 12 (2.08%) patients of 576 consecutive children who underwent heart operation required peritoneal dialysis because of acute renal failure. The mean age of these 12 patients was (2.9+/-2.0) years (range, 5 months-7 years) and the mean body weight was (12+/-3) kg (range, 7.4-18.5 kg). RESULTS: The interval between the operation and the initiation of peritoneal dialysis was (21.2+/-11.4) hours (4.4-42 hours). The duration of peritoneal dialysis was (6.3+/-4.8) days (0.47-15 days). Mortality in these 12 patients was 25%. Fluid removed by peritoneal dialysis was (34.7+/-17.8) ml x kg(-1) x day(-1). Asymoptomatic hypokalemia, thrombocytopenia and hyperglycemia were frequent complications, which were easily managed. Hemodynamics and pulmonary function improved during the study period. CONCLUSION: The early initiation of peritoneal dialysis is an effective and safe method to treat acute renal failure after cardiac operation in children.

Objective@#To explore the relationship between the incidence of aortic dissection and climate change.@*Methods@#The characteristics of 345 acute aortic dissection patients came from Beijing in Department of Vascular Surgery, Fu Wai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College from January 2005 to December 2015 were analyzed, retrospectively. There were 266 male and 79 female patients with a mean age of (49±12) years. There were 209 cases of Stanford type A aortic dissection, and 136 cases of type B. According to Fuwai aortic dissection classification: type A 8 cases, type B 95 cases, type Cp 13 cases, type Ct 187 cases, type Cd 40 cases, type D 2 cases. Meanwhile, monthly maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, average pressure, amount of rainfall, sunshine, relative humidity and other meteorological data were collected. Rank-sum test was used to analyze the difference of onset of aortic dissection in different seasons and months. Generalized additive models were implied to explore climate change and the onset of aortic dissection.@*Results@#The onset of aortic dissection was related to season. Winter had higher morbidity compared to summer (M(QR): 3(2) vs. 2(2), Z=1.97, P=0.05). The occurrence of aortic dissection was associated with month.December had the largest quantity, July had the least (2(3) vs. 2(1), Z=2.42, P=0.02). The mean temperature was statistically significant for indicating the change of aortic dissection onset. It meaned that onset probability was increased with the decrease of temperature (RR=1.01, 95%CI: 1.00 to 1.02, P=0.04).@*Conclusions@#The onset of aortic dissection had something to do with season and month. The incidence of aortic dissection increases with temperature decreases.
RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate theperiodic changes in onset of aortic dissection.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 1 121 patients with acute aortic dissection from Hebei province, treated at Fuwai hospital from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2016, were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The regularity for the onset of aortic dissection was analyzed according to daytime (1:00 to 6:00, 7:00 to 12:00, 13:00 to 18:00, and 19:00 to 24:00), weekday, month, and quarter. Meanwhile,the differences in various type of aortic dissection patient were also compared.@*Results@#The patients were (51.4±12.0) years old,77.88% (873 cases)were male and 69.05% (774 cases) were type A aortic dissection.The peak period for the onset of the disease in a day was from 13:00 to 18:00 (401 cases. 35.77%),and disease onset was less frequent from 1:00 to 6:00 (196 cases, 17.48%).The peak weekday of disease onset was Monday (173 cases, 15.43%) , and disease onset was less frequent on Friday (153 cases, 13.65%) . The peak month of disease onset was January (135 cases, 12.04%), and disease onset was less frequent in July(54 cases, 4.82%). The peak season of disease onset was winter (349 cases, 31.13%), and disease onset was less frequent in summer (184 cases, 16.41%). Number of disease onset was similar between ≥65 years old and<65 years old groups, with or without hypertension groups, with or without Marfan syndrome groups at different periods of a day, each weekday, and seasons(all P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#There are periodic changes in the onset of acute aortic dissection,which is higher in winter than in summer, higher in the afternoon than in the morning.
RESUMO
The purpose of the current treatment about the aortic intramural hematoma(IMH)is to prevent aortic rupture or conversion to typical dissection. Due to the different influence of human race,IMH type,severity and progression factors on this disease,the management of IMH remains controversial. Therefore,we reviewed current therapy of Aortic intramural hema-toma(IMH). And we provided a reference for further study on this disease by analyzing and comparing the relatively radical strategies and the close follow-up treatment(wait-and-watch strategy)strategies.
RESUMO
Objective Nowadays, emergency surgery is the most important method to treat acute type A aortic dissec-tion.There are many factors that can affect the prognosis, but the relationship between time period and the prognosis of aortic dissection surgery has not been reported.Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between different time periods and the prognosis of acute type A aortic dissection surgery .Methods We retrospectively analyzed the characteris-tics of acute type A aortic dissection surgery in Fuwai Hospital from 2010 to 2015.All patients were divided into two groups ac-cording to different time period .Propensity matching analysis was used to compare in-hospital mortality and post-operative com-plications of these groups.Results There were 698 cases acute aortic dissection surgery during study period.321 cases were operated in the nighttime(45.98%), the others were operated during daytime(54.02%).After propensity score matching, the operation time, extracorporeal bypass time, and the aortic blocking time of nighttime group were longer than daytime group , and there was a statistical difference(P<0.01).There was a statistical difference between the two groups of postoperative con-tinuous renal replacement therapy.Nighttime group had higher incidence(15.94% vs.5.64 %, P<0.01).There was statis-tically significant in 30-day mortality between daytime group and nighttime group(5.26% vs.10.53%, P=0.03).The mul-tiple-factor risk analysis of 30-day mortality in the whole group found that nighttime surgery was an independent risk factor ( OR 2.13, 95%CI 1.19-3.81, P=0.01).Conclusion For acute type A aortic dissection surgery, nighttime surgery may be the important factor for increasing 30-day mortality.For relatively stable patients, avoiding nighttime surgery may increase survival rate.
RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the technical method for harvesting and application of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (DBLCFA) in the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operation.@*Methods@#Between December 2016 and April 2017, 19 patients were arranged to use DBLCFA and got CT angiography (CTA) of pelvic and femoral arteries pre-operative at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. Finally, DBLCFA was harvested in 16 patients (including 2 female patients, with a mean age of (47.4±8.5) years) through the anterior thigh incision (13 cases on the left side, 3 cases on the right side). The CABG operations were performed under the cardiopulmonary bypass support (in 10 cases) or under the beating heart condition (in 6 cases), and the DBLCFA conduit was used combining with bilateral internal thoracic artery (in 12 cases), radial artery (in 7 cases) and saphenpous vein (in 3 cases).@*Results@#Due to anatomical variations such as short length and anomalous branch, or due to silent atherosclerosis stenosis of femoral artery, DBLCFA in 3 patients was considered inappropriate for use and was not harvested after CTA examination. In another 16 patients, DBLCFA was safely and quickly harvested and successfully used. On average, 3.4±0.6 anastomosis was built up in CBAG, no adverse effects were exhibited. The length of the harvested DBLCFA was (10.3±1.8) cm, with average lumen diameter of (1.9±0.5) mm. DBLCFA was used as free graft in 15 patients (7 to the first diagonal branch, 6 to the ramus intermedius branch, 1 to the left anterior descending branch and 1 to the second obtuse marginal branch). In 1 patient, the DBLCFA was firstly implanted end-to-side to the internal thoracic artery as a "Y" type composite graft, and then anastomosed to the third obtuse marginal branch.@*Conclusions@#The descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery is an option conduit in CABG. It can be harvested easily and safely. However, pre-operative CTA examination is necessary to exclude the variation and appropriate strategy for graft establishment should be considered during the operation.
RESUMO
Objective Summarizing single clinical experience with extracorpomreal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) as a supplement to extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation(ECPR) in adult patients with cardiac arrest to explore new ideas.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of 17 patients who underwent ECMO as part of ECPR from July 2005 to September 2014 at Fuwai Hospital,and analyzed the differences between the survival group(n =6) and the in-hospital death group.Results The mean CPR time was(44.53 ± 21.39) min.The support duration of ECMO was(106.38-± 70.43) h.12 patients of all were successfully weaned from ECMO,and 6 patients survived to hospital discharge.There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of the last serum creatinine and blood lactate acid level before ECMO,and the time to lactate normalization.11 patients died,7 patients developed bleeding,and 8 cases developed infection.Conclusion Single-center data showed that applying ECMO as a means of ECPR improved the survival rate in cardiac arrest patients.Additionally,creatinine and lactic acid were good indicators for assessing prognosis.Refractory circulatory dysfunction and neurologic complications have an adverse impact on the survival of cardiac arrest patients.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the safety and efficacy of off-pump technique with normothemia to extend thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm replacement compared with traditional hypothermic circulatory arrest.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2004 to December 2013, 128 consecutive patients underwent surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (type Crawford Ⅱ) in Fuwai Hospital. The mean age was (37±11) years. The patients included 74 cases (57.8%) with chronic Stanford A dissection, 34 cases (26.6%) with chronic Stanford B dissection, 20 cases (15.6%) with thoracoabdominal aortic true aneurysm. There were 71 patients who underwent hypothermic circulatory arrest surgery (cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) group) and 57 patients who underwent off-pump surgery with normothermia (off-pump group). The clinic data was compared between the 2 groups using paired t tests and χ(2) test. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used for postoperative survival stays.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mean CPB time in CPB group was (251 ±87) minuets and the circulatory arrest time was (45±24) minuets. Spinal cord ischemia time in the two groups was (21±12) minuets and (18±10) minuets (t=5.68, P=0.51). The operation time, ventilator time, length of ICU stay and length of hospital stay of off-pump group were shorter than CPB group ((408±114) minuets vs.(630±156) minuets, t=-7.67, P=0.05; (18±13) hours vs. (113±89) hours, t=-3.86, P=0.00; (4±2) days vs.(10±9) days, t=-4.19, P=0.00; (15±7) days vs.(25±14) days, t=-4.47, P=0.00). The intraoperative blood loss in off-pump group and CPB group was (900±750) ml and (1 400±400) ml (t=-2.23, P=0.04). The mortality was 1.7% and 9.8% in the off-pump group and CPB groups (χ(2)=3.544, P=0.05). The cerebral complication rate in the normal temperature group was 1.7% vs. 22.6% in extracorporeal group (χ(2)=9.35, P<0.05). A total of 113 patients were followed up, with a follow-up rate of 88.2%. Duration of follow-up was (78±54) months. Five patients died during the follow-up period, including 2 who died of cerebral infarction and 3 paraplegia patients who died of infection. Eight patients had phase Ⅱ aortic arch replacement after a mean time of 6 months. The overall postoperative survival rate was 97%, 93% and 87% at 3 years, 5 years and 7 years, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Off-pump technique with normothemia was associated with a lower risk of a composite outcome of mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events during repair of extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.</p>

Objective: To evaluate the clinical application of total cavopulmonary connection with off-pump technique. Methods: Between May 2000 and December 2002, 9 patients underwent total cavopulmonary connection without cardiopulmonary bypass. The patients were 5 males and 4 females, mean age (10.3?6.4) years, ranged 4~24 years and mean body surface area (0.95?0.35) m 2, range 0.65~1.66 m 2. SpO 2 before operation was (73?6)% (60%~80%). Pulmonary pressure was (12.7?2.4) mmHg (10~16 mmHg) at operation. Results: Patient died after surgery. Chylothorax occurred in 1 patient. 2 patients were reoperated for fenestration between the extracardiac conduit and right atrial during the early postoperative period. All survivors were noncyanotic, the average SpO 2 on breathing air was (94?3)% (89%~97%). On d ischarged. Conclusion: Total cavopulmonary connection with off-pump technique is a useful procedure in management of patients with a functional univentricular heart. It is easy to perform. However, much remains to be studied about this unique physiologic status.
