Abstract： Objectives To evaluate the early and mid-term follow-up outcomes of “one-stop” hybrid coronary revascularization strategy for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. Methods From June 2007 to December 2009, 104 consecutive patients underwent “one-stop”hybrid coronary revascularization in Fu Wai Hospital. There were 93 male patients and 11 female patients with mean age of （61.8±10.2）years（ranging from 35 to 81 years）. All the patients had multivessel coronary artery disease including left anterior descending （LAD）coronary artery stenosis, and underwent “one-stop”hybrid coronary revascularization. “One-stop”hybrid procedure was first performed through a lower partial sternotomy at the second left intercostal space. The distal anastomosis of in situ left internal mammary artery （LIMA）to LAD graft was completed. Angiography was performed immediately to confirm patency of the LIMA graft after closure of the thorax. A 300 mg loading dose of clopidogrel was administered through a nasogastric tube after confirmation of LIMA graft patency. Intravenous unfractionated heparin was administered to obtain an activated clotting time of greater than 250 s. Then percutaneous coronary intervention（PCI）was performed on the non-LAD lesions. Results All the patients underwent“one-stop”hybrid coronary revascularization including grafted LIMA to LAD，and one hundred and ninety one drug eluting stents and three bare metal stents were used for other non-LAD lesions. No death event occurred during surgery and in hospital. All the patients were followed up for a mean duration of 1.5 years. There was no myocardial infarction, neurologic event or death occurred during follow-up except one patient with stent stenosis who was treated by PCI. Conclusion “One-stop” hybrid coronary revascularization is a feasible and safe alternative for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.
Heart failure (HF) is a symptoms caused by various diseases. As the myocardial contractility and/or diastolic weakening, the cardiac output decreased, when it can not satisfy the needs of the body, a series of symptoms and signs occurs. HF is an end-stage performance of heart disease, and is also a major factor of mortality. The morbidity of heart failure increased as peoples enter the aging. Despite the continuous improvement of drug treatment,the morbidity and mortality of HF remains high. At present, nondrug treatment of heart failure get more and more attention to clinicians. Surgical methods gets more innovation.Medical intervention has been introducted new auxiliary facilities, and genetics and stem cell technology bring new hope to it’s treatment. This article reviews the HF surgery, nterventional treatment and its related gene and cell therapy and research recently.

Methods A total of 174 patients with coranaria disease from July 2003 to July 2009 were randomly divided into a control group and an observed group. The patients underwent the intervention treatment through femoral arteries in control group and through radial arteries in observed group. The duration and achievement rate of paracentesis and operation, and the incidence rate of complications were observed and the results in the two groups were compared. Results There were no differences in the duration and achievement rate of paracentesis and operation, and the achievement rate of operation between the control and observed groups. Compared with the control group, the incidence rate of complications and achievement rate of paracentesis were lower in observed group. Conclusion Intervention treatment through radial arteries on coranaria disease could reduce the post-operative complications with reliable therapeutic effect.
With the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and the increasing use of intracardiac pacemakers, the incidence of isolated tricuspid regurgitation is gradually increasing. Severe isolated tricuspid regurgitation has a seriously negative effect on the survival rate and life quality of patients. As the major invasive therapy, surgery is not routinely carried out due to high perioperative mortality. This article attempts to summarize the etiology, natural course and adverse consequences of isolated tricuspid regurgitation, current treatment strategies, surgical indications and techniques, efficacy evaluation, prognostic factors and transcatheter treatment progress of isolated tricuspid regurgitation, aiming to provide references for cardiologists and further researches.
Objective To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects on malignant spinal tumors treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) under the guidance of the digital subtraction angiography(DSA). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 196 patients (99 males and 97 females, aged 23-85 years, averaged 60.4 years) with malignant spinal tumors, who underwent the PVP treatment combined with standard chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatment from January 2002 to January 2005. The malignant spinal tumors had their origins as follows: lung cancer (66 cases), breast cancer (55 cases), liver cancer (19 cases), colon cancer (15 cases), stomach cancer (9 cases), prostate cancer (12 cases), multiple myeloma (16 cases), and malignant lymphoma of the spine (4 cases).The metastatic tumors involved the cervical vertebra (32 cases), thoracic vertebra (93 cases), lumbar vertebra (71 cases), and spinal column, including 1 vertebral segment (135 cases), 2 segments (50 cases), and more than 3 segments (11 cases). During the follow-up survey, changes in the visual analogue pain scale(VAS) and changes in the X-ray measurements of the average anterior height, midline height, and posterior height of the diseased vertebra were observed. Results The follow-up for 6 months to 3 years revealed that the percutaneous vertebroplasty on279 vertebral segments had a success with an operational success rate of 100%. Bone cement was injected into the lesions 1-9 ml per segment of the spine. The postoperative X-ray and CT evaluations revealed that spinal stabilization was obtained in all the patients. After operation, 193（98.5%）patients had an obvious decrease or disappearance of the pain in the lower back, and only 3 (1.5%) patients had no obvious improvement in the pain. There was a significant statist-ical difference in the VAS scores between before operation and after operation (Plt;0.05). There were also significant statistical differences in the average anterior height of the diseased vertebra between before operation and after operation（15.71±2.80 mm vs 16.61±3.01 mm）, in the midline height（13.65±2.93 mm vs 14.52±2.72 mm）, and in the posterior height（23.67±2.81 mm vs 23.70±3.13 mm,Plt;0.05). The patients with lung or liver cancer had a mean survival time of 9 monthsafter PVP; the patients with breast cancer, stomach cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma, or other metastatic tumors had a mean survival time of 18 months. The patients with multiple myeloma had a mean survival time of 27 months. The differences were statistically different (Plt;0.01). Conclusion PVP under the guidance of the DSA is an easier operation witha small wound and few complications. It can effectively alleviate the patient’s pain due to metastatic spinal tumor, stabilize the spine, improve the patient’s quality of life, and reduce the incidence of paraplegia.
The diameter of the giant coronary artery aneurysm is at least 4 times bigger than that of the normal coronary artery and 2-3 times bigger than that of the normal coronary artery aneurysm. Giant coronary artery aneurysm is rare in clinic with a reported morbidity which is less than 0.3%. Just like ordinary coronary artery aneurysm, coronary artery atherosclerosis is the main cause of the giant coronary artery aneurysm. Most giant coronary artery aneurysms are asymptomatic, but some patients may have heart-related clinical emergency in short term and may have thrombosis which can lead to embolism and fistula which can cause rupture in long term. Surgical treatment is the first chioce for giant coronary artery aneurysm now. However, the interventional therapy will also be an important way to treat the disease in the future. In this article, we review the diagnosis, clinical manifestation, treatment and other aspects of giant coronary artery aneurysm as follows.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors for cerebral thrombosis due to interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms.MethodsThe clinical data of 240 patients with intracranial aneurysms treated by interventional embolization in Department of Neurosurgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University between January 2015 and December 2019 were collected retrospectively. According to whether cerebral thrombosis occurred after embolization, the patients were divided into the cerebral thrombosis group and the non-cerebral thrombosis group. Univariate analyses and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors for cerebral thrombosis due to interventional embolization of intracranial aneurysms.ResultsOf the 240 patients, 55 (22.9%) had postoperative cerebral thrombosis confirmed by MRI, and 15 (6.2%) had neurological symptoms. There were significant differences in age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, operative duration, and procedure methods (simple coiling, balloon or stent-assisted coiling) between the cerebral thrombosis group and the non-cerebral thrombosis group after embolization of intracranial aneurysms (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only operative duration [odds ratio=1.036, 95% confidence interval (1.018, 1.054), P<0.001] was the independent risk factor for cerebral thrombosis after interventional embolization of aneurysms.ConclusionsOperative duration is the independent and adjustable risk factor for cerebral thrombosis after embolization of intracranial aneurysms. Improving the surgical skills of neurointerventional surgeons and shortening the procedure time will be helpful to reduce the occurrence of cerebral thrombosis after interventional treatment of aneurysms and improve the prognosis of patients.
