Objective To introduce the technique of surgical patch angioplasty for the treatment of patients with isolated left main coronary artery stenosis. Methods Retrospective investigation of results of surgical patch angioplasty in patients with isolated left main coronary artery disease. Results All 8 patients who underwent left main coronary artery patch angioplasty survived with no major perioperative complications. One patient had recurrent angina and required coronary artery bypass grafting 6 months after patch angioplasty. All other patients were symptom free and had normal activity, at a mean follow-up of 5. 3 years. Conclusions Patch angioplasty can be used as an alternative surgical technique in cases of isolated left main coronary artery stenosis with no distal coronary artery disease. However, it may not be suitable for patients with significant left main coronary artery calcification.

Methods：We analyzed eGFR in the patients with coronary artery disease confirmed by coronary angiography and the control, and compared the proportion of patients with reduced renal function in the different groups. Results: A total 116 cases were included in each group. Among these patients, normal renal function, mildly and severe reduced renal function was documented in 82, 29 and 5 in coronary artery disease group, and in 98, 13 and 5 in the control group, respectively. In comparison to the control, more patients with reduced eGFR were found in coronary artery disease group (χ2 value 7.517,P=0.023), although no significant difference was observed between both groups（Pgt;0.05). Conclusion: Reduced eGFR, even if mildly, could be regarded as the risk factor of coronary artery disease.
ObjectiveTo analyze the safety and follow-up results of on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for the treatment of multivessel diseases via left anterolateral minithoracotomy.MethodsFrom January 2018 to March 2020, a total of 30 patients including 18 males and 12 females with an average age of 61.3±7.5 years having multivessel coronary heart diseases were treated in our hospital with on-pump CABG via left anterolateral minithoracotomy. Among them, 14 patients had three-vessel diseases and 16 patients had two-vessel diseases.ResultsThere were 29 internal mammary artery-to-left anterior descending bypass grafts harvested in total while the rest were saphenous-vein bypass grafts. The average number of bypass vessels was 2.3±0.5. There was no perioperative death in the whole group, one patient underwent rethoracotomy due to hemorrhage, and one patient suffered acute renal insufficiency. The average time of postoperative tracheal intubation was 16.0±5.8 hours, and the postoperative ICU stay was 30.1±11.5 hours. Twenty five patients were followed up, including coronary CT angiography examinations at 6 months and 1 year after operation. Proximal anastomotic stenosis in one patient and distal anastomosis occlusion in one patient occurred.ConclusionOn-pump CABG via left anterolateral minithoracotomy is safe for appropriately selected patients.
ObjectiveTo describe our experiences of application of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (OPCABG) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with dilated left ventricle.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 303 patients with dilated left ventricle [left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD)> 60 mm] who underwent OPCABG from January 2008 to December 2018 at a single center was conducted. There were 205 males and 98 females at age of 45-87 (66.9±9.3) years.ResultsThe mean pulmonary artery pressure in 90 patients was more than 25 mm Hg. Sixteen patients underwent OPCABG with emergent transition of extracorporeal circulation (CPB). Twenty-one patients underwent OPCABG with CPB at the beginning of CABG. Thirty-five patients underwent intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP). Four patients died during in-hospital time with the experience of emergent transition of CPB. Six months after operation, LVEDD and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were improved.ConclusionOPCABG is a safe and effective alternative for CAD patients with dilated left ventricle. However, for patients with higher pulmonary pressure and a spherical left ventricle after cardiac reshaping, there is a high risk of emergent transition of CPB during OPCABG; for this kind of patients, it is necessary to start CPB at the beginning of OPCABG.
ObjectiveTo retrospectively compare and analyze the effect of myocardial protection between histidinetryptophane-ketoglutarate (HTK) and 4:1 blood cardioplegia in patients with complex coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction.
MethodsFrom January 2003 to July 2013, 2132 patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in our institution. Among them, 227 patients with complex coronary artery disease (left main or triple vessel disease) and left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤ 50%) were included in this study. According to the category of cardioplegia utilized in the operations, the patients were divided into two groups: a HTK group (85 males and 4 females, n=89) and a blood cardioplegia group (113 males and 25 females, n=138). The average age was 62.78±9.30 years in the HTK group and 62.74±9.07 years in the blood cardioplegia group. The effect of myocardial protection between two groups was compared.
ResultsAccording to the pre-operational data of these two groups, there was no significant difference identified in terms of basic characteristics and risk factors, even though more female patients were found in the blood cardiophegia group and more patients with renal dysfunction were found in the HTK group. In addition, the patients in the HTK group had more distal anastomosis, longer cardiopulmonary time and cross clamping time than those in the blood cardiophegia group. Based on the results measured by those primary assessment criteria,there was no significant difference being found between these two groups. However, on those secondary assessment criteria the pulmonary pressure and inotropic support after reperfusion were significantly higher in the HTK group than its counterpart.
ConclusionFor patients with complex coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction, HTK solution and blood cardioplegia provide similar effective myocardial protection. HTK doesn't significantly increase postoperative adverse cardiovascular events under the circumstance of longer ischemic time.
Objective To compare and analyze the early- to mid-term outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) combined with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) combined with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for the treatment of significant aortic stenosis (AS) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods The data of patients with significant AS and CAD who underwent surgical treatment at Central China Fuwai Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to July 2023 were collected. These patients were divided into a TAVR+PCI group and a SAVR+CABG group according to the operation method. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to select patients with close clinical baseline characteristics, and the early- to mid-term outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results A total of 272 patients were enrolled, including 208 males and 64 females, with a mean age of (64.16±8.24) years. There were 47 patients in the TAVR+PCI group and 225 patients in the SAVR+CABG group. After 1 : 1 PSM, 32 pairs were selected. There was no statistical difference in baseline data between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the SAVR+CABG group, the TAVR+PCI group had significantly shorter operative time, mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay, postoperative hospital stay, and less intraoperative bleeding, and significantly lower postoperative transfusion and complete revascularization rates (P<0.05). The differences in the rates of postoperative in-hospital death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or other complications between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05), and the differences in the rates of moderate-to-severe perivalvular leakage, death, or readmission in the mid-term follow-up were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion In patients with significant AS and CAD, the early- and mid-term rates of death and complications are similar between those treated with TAVR+PCI and SAVR+CABG, and TAVR+PCI is a safe alternative to SAVR+CABG.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the long-term efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) versus drug-eluting stent implantation (DES-PCI) for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.
MethodsWe searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2015), PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about CABG versus DES-PCI for patients with coronary multivessel disease from the inception to October 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software.
ResultsA total of seven RCTs, involving 5 723 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: compared with the DES-PCI group, the CABG group had lower 1-year incidence of target vessel revascularization (OR=0.39, 95%CI 0.31 to 0.48, P<0.000 01), 5-year mortality (OR=0.78, 95%CI 0.65 to 0.94, P=0.008), and 5-year incidence of myocardial infarction (OR=0.46, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.58, P<0.000 01). However, 1-year, 2-year and 5-year incidences of stroke in the CABG group were significantly higher than that in the DES-PCI group (all P values <0.05).
ConclusionThe available evidence suggests that CABG is superior to DES-PCI for patients with multivessel coronary artery disease in long-term effects, but CABG could increase the incidence of stroke. Due to the quantity and quality of the included studies, the above conclusions still need to be verified by more high-quality RCTs.

Objective To analyze the efficacy of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) in elderly patients with coronary artery disease complicated with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation. Methods The clinical data of patients aged≥70 years with coronary artery disease complicated with moderate mitral regurgitation, and undergoing OPCABG from January 2009 to January 2020 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The echocardiographic indicators of the patients were compared preoperatively, postoperatively before discharge and during the follow-up. Results Finally 239 patients were enrolled. There were 136 males and 103 females, aged 74.1±3.2 years. Before postoperative discharge, 49 (20.5%) patients had no mitral regurgitation, 144 (60.3%) mild regurgitation, 46 (19.2%) moderate regurgitation, and 0 severe regurgitation. The area of mitral regurgitation was significantlyimproved (2.5±1.8 cm2 vs. 5.6±1.0 cm2, P<0.001). There were 10 (4.2%) patients of hospital death, 23 (9.6%) of low cardiac output, 3 (1.3%) of myocardial infarction, and 8 (3.3%) of nervous system injury after operation. As a result, 208 (90.8%) patients were followed up and the mean follow-up time was 3.4 years (range 1-9 years). The cumulative survival rates at postoperative 2, 4, 6, and 8 years were 95.8%, 88.0%, 78.4%, and 73.1%, respectively. Postoperative follow-up showed significant improvements compared with those before surgery in the area of mitral regurgitation, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular end-diastolic and left ventricular end-systolic diameters (all P＜0.05). Duirng the follow-up, the major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events were all cause death in 22 (10.6%) patients, including cardiac death in 17 (8.2%) patients, myocardial infarction in 7 (3.4%) patients, heart failure in 24 (11.5%) patients, cerebrovascular events in 11 (5.3%) patients, re-hospitalization due to heart disease in 23 (11.1%) patients, and none of the patients with myocardial infarction were revascularized. Conclusion The mid- and long-term outcomes of OPCABG in the treatment for elderly patients with coronary artery disease complicated with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation is good.
Objective To systematically review the efficacy, safety and economic value of hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for Chinese patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. Methods We searched PubMed, WanFang Data, CNKI, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2016) to collect case-control studies about HCR versus CABG for Chinese patients with coronary multivessel disease from the January 1996 to April 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 9 studies, involving 1 231 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: compared with the CABG groups, HCR group had lower length of ICU stay (MD=–25.84, 95% CI –42.55 to –9.13,P=0.002) and intubation time (MD=–4.06, 95% CI –6.43 to –1.69,P=0.000 8). However, there were no significant differences between both groups in the length of hospital stay (MD=–0.64, 95% CI –2.53 to 1.25,P=0.51), the incidence of atrial fibrillation (OR=1.41, 95% CI 0.86 to 2.30,P=0.17) and renal failure (OR=1.56, 95% CI 0.89 to 2.74,P=0.12). No significant differences were found between both groups in mortality (OR=0.36, 95% CI 0.12 to 1.11,P=0.07), the incidence of myocardial infarction (OR=0.32, 95% CI 0.06 to 1.85,P=0.20) and the incidence of target vessel revascularization (OR=1.16, 95% CI 0.48 to 2.76,P=0.74). But the incidence of the stroke (OR=0.35, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.91,P=0.03) and MACCEs (OR=0.37, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.70,P=0.002) of the HCR group were lower than those of the patients of the CABG group. Conclusion The current evidence shows that, compared with the CABG groups, HCR had lower incidence of stroke and MACCEs, however, the safety and efficacy were not significantly different between both groups. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
