This paper discusses a female patient with severe aortic stenosis, who was preoperatively assessed to be at high risk of left coronary artery occlusion, but developed complete occlusion of the right coronary artery during the procedure of transcatheter aortic valve replacement, leading to hemodynamic disorder. Surgical treatment under emergency cardiopulmonary bypass played a critical role in rescuing the patient.
Abstract: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become more and more popular, but how to decrease the thrombotic stenosis of saphenous vein grafts remains a tough problem clinically. Some researchers raised that aspirin resistance (AR) may be one of the most principal causes of graft thrombus and many correlative studies have been reported in recent years．In this article, we reviewed and analyzed the concept and evaluation criterion, incidence rate, mechanisms, clinic significance, and preventing strategy of AR, expecting to deepen the understanding of AR and help to optimize the antiplatelet therapy for postCABG patients with AR.

Objective To evaluate the effects of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (ECABG) in the treatment of emergent patients, and to summarize our experience. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 160 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Command from January 2010 through December 2013. The patients were divided into an ECABG group (operation underwent on the day diagnosed, n=27, 22 males and 5 females, at age of 70.2±10.2 years) and a conventional group (CABG operation underwent on 5 days after diagnosed, n=133, 104 males and 29 females, at age of 66.3±8.9 years). Results Statistical differences were found between the ECABG group and the conventional group in EuroSCORE (5.8±3.2 versus 3.4±2.1, P=0.001), acute myocardial infarction (33.3% vs. 11.3%, P=0.007), rate of application of IABP (29.6% versus 12.0%, P=0.034), pericardium and mediastinal tube drainage (533.4±132.8 ml versus 414.8±124.3 ml, P=0.018). There was no statistical difference in continuous renal replacement therapy (P=0.677), postoperative sternal wound complication (P=1.000), the length of hospital stay (P=0.589), or 30-day-mortality (P=0.198) between the two groups. We followed up 24 patients(88.89%) for 3-36 months in the ECABG group. One patient occurred angina symptoms at the end of 1 year follow-up. The symptoms disappeared after treatment. The other patients had no symptoms of angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia. Conclusion ECABG as a lifesaving therapy is an effective procedure in the treatment of severe and acute patients. Sufficient preoperative assessment, good myocardial protection, full revascularization, and comprehensive treatment plays an important role in the success of ECABG.
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting in the treatment of coronary artery disease patients aged over 70 years. Methods A total of 160 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting from January 2013 to December 2017. There were 94 males and 66 females at age of 70–85 (76.67±2.33) years. Operations were performed by using sternal median incision with the assistance of local myocardial surface fixator and shunt plug, and the saphenous vein and internal mammary arterywere used as grafted vessels. Results All the patients were received successful off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting without death, and the cardiac function improved significantly. There were 62 patients with the internal mammary artery bridge and 98 patients with the whole vein bridge. All the patients were followed-up for 1 to 4 years. All the patients had obvious relief of angina pectoris. Conclusion Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for the treatment of elderly patients with coronary heart disease is an effective and safe operation, especially for patients with renal insufficiency, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease and severe left ventricular dysfunction.
Abstract:Objective To investigate the pattern and affecting factors of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting（OPCAB）. Methods Fifty-five patients of coronary artery disease without acute myocardial infarction （AMI） who underwent selective OPCAB were chosen for this study. Four ml blood sample was taken at 30 min before operation, and 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 120 h after operation. The hematopoietic stem cell count was made by flow cytometer with CD34 and CD45 double antibody. The serum myoeardium enzyme and troponin T （cTnT） were measured at the same time. Results The hematopoietic stem cell count was 0. 13%±0. 12% of all nucleated cells in the peripheral blood circulation before operation. It increased significantly witha peak value at 24 halter OPCAB（0.34%±0.20%）. It turned back to pre-operativelevelat 120h after operation. Smoking, hyperlipemia and diabetes mellitus had no effect on hematopoietic stem cell mobilization. But hypertension could reduce its mobilization significantly. The hematopoietic stem cell count was positively correlated with creatine kinase （CK）, creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme （CK-MB）, lactate de hydrogenase （LDH） and cTnT （r=0. 692,P=0. 000; r=0. 558, P=0. 000; r=0. 447, P=0. 000 and r=0. 401, P=0. 004, respectively） 24h after OPCAB. Conclusion Hematopoietic stem cells mobilize rapidly and temporarily after OPCAB. Myocardial injury and CABG risk factors take part in hematopoietic stem cell mobilization.
Objective To investigate the feasibility of imaging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide(SPIO) transplanted into coronary artery in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the redistribution of the cells into other organs. Methods BMMSCs were isolated, cultured from bone marrow of Chinese mini swine, and double labeled with SPIO and CMDiI(Cell TrackerTM C-7001). The labeled cells were injected into left anterior descending coronary artery through a catheter. The injected cells were detected by using MRI at 1 week,3weeks after transplantation. And different organs were harvested and evaluated the redistribution of transplanted cells through pathology. Results The SPIO labeled BMMSCs injected into coronary artery could be detected through MRI and confirmed by pathology and maintained more than 3 weeks. The SPIO labeled cells could be clearly imaged as signal void lesions in the related artery. The pathology showed that the injected cells could be distributed into the area of related artery, and the cells injected into coronary artery could be found in the lung, spleen, kidney, but scarcely in the liver, the structures of these organs remained normal. Conclusion The SPIO labeled BMMSCs injected into coronary artery can be detected by using MRI, the transplanted cells can be redistributed into the non-targeted organs.
Coronary angiography (CAG) as a typical imaging modality for the diagnosis of coronary diseases hasbeen widely employed in clinical practices. For CAG-based computer-aided diagnosis systems, accurate vessel segmentation plays a fundamental role. However, patients with bradycardia usually have a pacemaker which frequently interferes the vessel segmentation. In this case, the segmentation of vessels will be hard. To mitigate interferences of pacemakers and then extract main vessels more effectively in CAG images, we propose an approach. At first, a pseudo CAG (pCAG) image is generated through a part of a CAG sequence, in which the pacemaker exists. Then, a local feature descriptor is employed to register the relative location of pacemaker between the pCAG image and the target CAG image. Finally, combining the registration result and segmentation results of main vessels and pacemaker, interferences of pacemaker are removed and the segmentation of main vessels is improved. The proposed method is evaluated based on 11 CAG images with pacemakers acquired in clinical practices. An optimization ratio of the Dice coefficient is 12.04%, which demonstrates that our method can remove overlapping pacemakers and achieve the improvement of main vessel segmentation in CAG images.Our method can further become a helpful component in a CAG-based computer-aided diagnosis system, improving its diagnosis accuracy and efficiency.
