Objective To summarize the experience of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting （CABG） after failed percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods From January 1998 to December 2002, 9 patients underwent emergency CABG after failed percutaneous coronary intervention. The indications of emergency CABG were coronary artery dissection （5 cases）or perforation （2 cases） and acute arterial occlusion （2 cases）. The time averaged 2 hours from onset of ischernia to revascularization. The CABG was performed under off-pump bypass in 3 cases and under CPB in 6 cases. The mean graft number was 3. Results There were no hospital death. The mean follow-up was 17 months. No death and angina occurred. The function of New York Heart Association class Ⅰ-Ⅱ were in 8 patients, class Ⅲ in 1 patient. Conclusion Emergency CABG is an effective management for failed percutaneous coronary intervention if the indication is right.
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of triple-antiplatelet treatment based on Cilostazol for restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, The Cochrane Library, Issue 3, 2009), PubMed (1966 to 2009), EMbase (1974 to 2009), CNKI (1994 to 2009), CBM (1978 to Feb. 2009), VIP (1989 to Feb. 2009), and CMD Digital Periodicals (1998 to 2009). Two reviewers independently evaluated the quality of the included studies and extracted the data. Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 2 348 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that triple-antiplatelet treatment based on Cilostazol could increase minimum lumen diameter (MD=0.31, 95%CI 0.11 to 0.51) and decrease restenosis rate (OR=0.49, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.65). In addition, it could decrease death rate (OR=0.52, 95%CI 0.31 to 0.88), but it could not change target-vessel revascularization, stroke rate, palpitation rate, and the rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebral events and major adverse cardiac events. Conclusion Evidence shows that triple-antiplatelet treatment based on Cilostazol could increase minimum lumen diameter and decrease restenosis rate and death rate. Their clinical application is worthy to be advocated.
Objective To explore the effects of aggressive lipid lowering therapy and its influence on cardiovascular events using lipitor (20 mg daily) for Chinese people after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We did a double-blind and randomized controlled trial. From July 2005 to June 2006, 120 patients with PCI procedure who were discharged from the Shanghai Chest Hospital were randomly divided into aggressive lipid lowering group (atorvastatin 20 mg daily, n=60) and an ordinary lipid lowering group (atorvastatin 10 mg daily, n=60). The trial treatment was administered from the day of PCI to the third month after PCI. Atorvastatin at 10 mg daily was then used until one year after PCI. Blood biochemistry, cardiovascular events and drug adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results Among the 120 patients, 5 discontinued treatment and 4 more withdrew from the study. Therefore 115 and 111 were included in our main analyses [Comment from Mike: it is not ITT if the 5 who discontinued treatment are excluded] and a per-protocol (PP) analysis, respectively. Baseline clinical characteristics were comparable between the two groups. The reduction in TG and the increase in HDL-C were similar between the two groups (Pgt;0.05), but the reductions in LDL-C and TC were significantly different between the two groups (Plt;0.05). This was observed from the beginning of follow-up to the third month after PCI. In the PP analysis, the percentage of patients whose LDL-C met the predefined requirement at the third month in the 20 mg group was significantly higher than in the group receiving the lower dose (87.03% vs. 70.17%, P=0.031). A similar result was also obtained if the patients who withdrew were retained in the analysis (P=0.044). The change in C reaction protein (CRP) from baseline at the first and the third month was significantly different between the two groups (Plt;0.05), but become relatively stable at the sixth month (Pgt;0.05). The mean follow-up duration was 6.5±3.0 months in the higher dose group, with 1 case of recurring angina pectoris and 1 case of revascularization were identified. It was 7.2±3.6 months in the 10 mg daily group, with 3 cases of recurring angina pectoris, 1 case of nonfatal myocardial infarction, 2 cases of revascularization and 1 case of sudden cardiogenic death. The difference in the Kaplan-Meier event curves was of borderline statistical significance from the fourth month (P=0.048). Drug adverse reactions were mild and myopathy was not identified in any patients. Conclusions After PCI procedure, the use of atorvastatin 20 mg daily for aggressive lipid lowering was safe and effective.

ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the surgical treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection after coronary artery stenting, and to explore the surgical techniques and surgical indications. MethodsClinical data of 1 246 consecutive patients who underwent operations on Stanford type A aortic dissection from April 2016 to July 2019 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection after coronary artery stenting were enrolled. ResultsFinally 19 patients were collected, including 16 males and 3 females with an average age of 54±7 years ranging from 35 to 66 years. There were 11 patients in acute phase, 15 patients with AC (DeBakey Ⅰ) type and 4 patients with AS (DeBakey Ⅱ) type. In AC type, there were 10 patients receiving Sun's surgery and 5 patients partial arch replacement. Meanwhile, coronary artery bypass grafting was performed in 7 patients and mitral valve replacement in 1 patient. Stents were removed from the right coronary artery in 4 patients. In this group, 1 patient died of multiple organ failure in hospital after operation combined with malperfusion of viscera. Eighteen patients recovered after treatment and were discharged from hospital. The patients were followed up for 30 (18-56) months. One patient underwent aortic pseudoaneurysm resection, one thoracic endovascular aortic repair, one emergency percutaneous coronary intervention due to left main artery stent occlusion, and one underwent femoral artery bypass due to iliac artery occlusion. ConclusionIatrogenic aortic dissection has a high probability of coronary artery bypass grafting at the same time in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection after coronary artery stenting. Complicated type A aortic dissection after percutaneous coronary intervention should be treated with surgery aggressively.
ObjectiveTo analyze the short-term clinical efficacy and prognosis of one-stop transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)+percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the treatment of aortic valve disease with coronary heart disease. MethodsThe clinical data of patients with aortic valve disease complicated with coronary heart disease who underwent one-stop TAVR+PCI treatment at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospective analyzed. The preoperative and postoperative clinical data were compared, and 1-month follow-up results were recorded. ResultsA total of 37 patients were enrolled, including 22 males and 15 females, with an average age of 69.14±6.47 years. Thirty-six patients recovered and were discharged after the surgery, and 1 (2.7%) patient died during the surgery. Self-expanding TAVR valves were implanted through the femoral artery in all patients. One coronary artery was opened by PCI in 35 (94.6%) patients, and two coronary arteries were opened by PCI in 2 (5.4%) patients. All PCI opened arteries had a stenosis>70%. During the postoperative hospitalization, the complications included pulmonary infection in 11 (30.6%) patients, severe pneumonia in 10 (27.8%) patients, liver function injury in 14 (38.9%) patients, renal function injury in 5 (13.9%) patients, cerebral infarction in 1 (2.8%) patient, atrial fibrillation in 1 (2.8%) patient, ventricular premature beats in 2 (5.6%) patients, atrioventricular block in 2 (5.6%) patients, and complete left bundle branch block in 5 (13.9%) patients. The median postoperative ventilation assistance time was 12.0 (0.0, 17.0) h, the ICU monitoring time was 1.0 (0.0, 2.0) d, and the postoperative hospitalization time was 5.0 (4.0, 7.0) d. There was a significant improvement in the New York Heart Association cardiac function grading after surgery (P<0.001). After surgery, there were 21 (58.3%) patients had minor perivalve leakage, 6 (16.7%) patients had minor to moderate perivalve leakage, and no moderate or above degree of perivalve leakage. After one month of postoperative follow-up, 36 patients showed significant improvement in heart function. There were no patients with recurrent acute coronary syndrome, re-PCI, or cardiovascular system disease related re-hospitalization. ConclusionThe one-stop TAVR+PCI treatment for patients with aortic valve disease and coronary heart disease can obtain satisfactory short-term clinical efficacy, which is worth further trying and studying.
