World J Clin Cases 2023; 11:6754-6762. [PMID: 37901009 PMCID: PMC10600861 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v11.i28.6754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients with cardiovascular disorders suffer from coronary artery diseases, which can be treated successfully using coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). One of the unpleasant events following CABG is postoperative vision loss (POVL). Vulnerability of retinal vessels to hemodynamic changes, an expectable event following CABG, may contribute to the development of POVL, which might be associated with the changes in the choroidal and retinal structures. AIM To investigate postoperative changes in chorioretinal and peripapillary nerve fiber layer (NFL) thickness, and progression of diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy after CABG. METHODS In this prospective, cross-sectional study, 49 eyes in 25 candidates for CABG underwent both ophthalmic and cardiovascular examinations within 6 mo prior to and 9 mo after surgery. RESULTS Among the study participants, 56% were male with a mean age of 62.84 years ± 10.49 years (range 33-80 years). Diabetes mellitus was observed in eight participants (32%). None of the patients suffered from postoperative anterior or posterior ischemic optic neuropathy, central retinal artery occlusion, and cortical blindness. The mean value of the preoperative best corrected visual acuity was 0.11 ± 0.10 logMAR (range, 0-0.4), which worsened to 0.15 ± 0.08 logMAR (range, 0-0.4) after CABG (P = 0.031). No significant difference was observed between the pre- and postsurgical choroidal (P = 0.853) and macular (P = 0.507) thickness, NFL thickness in the subfoveal (P > 0.999) and peripapillary areas (P = 0.659), as well as the severity of diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy. CONCLUSION CABG may reduce visual acuity without affecting ocular structures. Postoperative vision reduction might be attributable to molecular or cellular variations, changes in visual pathway function, or central nervous system.

Conventional or minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support during coronary artery bypass grafting? - An analysis by means of perfusion and body mass index. Artif Organs 2018; 43:542-550. [PMID: 30411818 DOI: 10.1111/aor.13386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2018] [Revised: 10/11/2018] [Accepted: 11/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
The use of minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support to reduce the side effects of extracorporeal circulation is still contradictorily discussed. This study compares perfusion operated by conventional (CCPB) and minimized (MCPB) cardiopulmonary bypass support during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study includes the data of 5164 patients treated at our department between 2004 and 2014. Tissue perfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass support and cardiac arrest was assessed by means of body mass index, hemodilution, blood pressure with corresponding pump flow and venous oxygen saturation, serum lactate, and serum pH. Hemodilution was more pronounced after CCPB: hemoglobin had dropped to 4.47 ± 0.142 g/dL after CCPB and to 2.77 ± 0.148 g/dL after MCPB (P = 0.0022). Despite the higher pump flow in conventional circuits (4.86-4.95 L/min vs. 4.1-4.18 L/min), mean blood pressure was higher during minimized bypass support (53 ± 10 vs. 56 ± 13 mm Hg [aortic clamping], 57 ± 9 vs. 61 ± 12 mm Hg [34°C], 55 ± 9 vs.59 ± 11 mm Hg [aortic clamp removal], P < 0.0001) at all time points. Venous oxygen saturation remained on comparable levels of >70% during both conventional and minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support. The increase in serum lactate was more pronounced after CCPB (8.98 ± 1.28 vs. 3.66 ± 1.25 mg/dL, P = 0.0079), corresponding to a decrease in serum pH to acidotic levels (7.33 ± 0.06 vs. 7.35 ± 0.06, P < 0.0001). These effects were evident in all BMI ranges. Minimized cardiopulmonary bypass support provides efficient perfusion in all BMI ranges and is thus equivalent to conventional circuits.

Abstract
Minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) systems have initiated important efforts within science and technology to further improve the biocompatibility of cardiopulmonary bypass components to minimize the adverse effects and improve end-organ protection. The Minimal invasive Extra-Corporeal Technologies international Society was founded to create an international forum for the exchange of ideas on clinical application and research of minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation technology. The present work is a consensus document developed to standardize the terminology and the definition of minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation technology as well as to provide recommendations for the clinical practice. The goal of this manuscript is to promote the use of MiECC systems into clinical practice as a multidisciplinary strategy involving cardiac surgeons, anaesthesiologists and perfusionists.

A retrospective comparative study of minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation versus conventional extracorporeal circulation in emergency coronary artery bypass surgery patients: a single surgeon analysis. Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2015; 21:102-7. [PMID: 25911678 DOI: 10.1093/icvts/ivv103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2014] [Accepted: 04/02/2015] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES At the moment, the main application of minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) is reserved for elective cardiac operations such as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and/or aortic valve replacement. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of emergency CABG operations using either MiECC or conventional extracorporeal circulation (CECC) in patients requiring emergency CABG with regard to the perioperative course and the occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE). METHODS We analysed the emergency CABG operations performed by a single surgeon, between January 2007 and July 2013, in order to exclude the differences in surgical technique. During this period, 187 emergency CABG patients (113 MiECC vs 74 CECC) were investigated retrospectively with respect to the following parameters: in-hospital mortality, MACCE, postoperative hospital stay and perioperative transfusion rate. RESULTS The mean logistic European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation was higher in the CECC group (MiECC 12.1 ± 16 vs CECC 15.0 ± 20.8, P = 0.15) and the number of bypass grafts per patient was similar in both groups (MiECC 2.94 vs CECC 2.93). There was no significant difference in the postoperative hospital stay or in major postoperative complications. The in-hospital mortality was higher in the CECC group 6.8% versus MiECC 4.4% (P = 0.48). The perioperative transfusion rate was lower with MiECC compared with CECC (MiECC 2.6 ± 3.2 vs CECC 3.8 ± 4.2, P = 0.025 units of blood per patient). CONCLUSIONS In our opinion, the use of MiECC in urgent CABG procedures is safe, feasible and shows no disadvantages compared with the use of CECC. Emergency operations using the MiECC system showed a significantly lower blood transfusion rate and better results concerning the unadjusted in-hospital mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate and late outcome of emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a multicenter setting. DESIGN Multicenter, retrospective study. SETTING Four university hospitals. PARTICIPANTS 596 patients were included in this study. INTERVENTIONS Included patients underwent isolated, emergency CABG. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Sixty patients (absolute rate: 10.1%, pooled rate: 8.7%) died during the in-hospital stay period. Increasing emergency CABG classes (p<0.0001), recent myocardial infarction (p=0.019), left ventricular ejection fraction≤30% (p=0.034), on-pump surgery (p=0.012), and participating centers (p<0.0001) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. Survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 86.4%, 81.6%, and 76.1%, respectively. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was used in 6 patients and 3 of them (50.0%) survived the immediate postoperative period. Patient populations of participating centers differed significantly in most of baseline characteristics. The preoperative use of intra-aortic balloon pump (8% to 51%) and off-pump surgery (2.8% to 56.3%) varied significantly between institutions. In-hospital mortality (2.8%, 5.9%, 7.7% and 19.8%, p<0.0001), as well as midterm survival, significantly differed between institutions (at 3 years, 90.6%, 89.8%, 81.2%, and 67.2%, p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS The outcome after emergency CABG is satisfactory despite a significant operative risk. However, the results of emergency CABG significantly differed between the participating institutions, likely due to differences in the referral pathways and perioperative treatment strategies. Evaluation of these factors is crucial for implementation of treatment in centers with suboptimal results.

Impact of age on early outcome after coronary bypass graft surgery using minimized versus conventional extracorporeal circulation. J Cardiothorac Surg 2014; 9:143. [PMID: 25185963 PMCID: PMC4243947 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-014-0143-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2014] [Accepted: 08/04/2014] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of age on comparative early outcomes after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) with minimized (MECC) and conventional extracorporeal circulation (CECC). Methods A retrospective age-, gender- and operation-matched cohort analysis between January 2005 and December 2010 with a total of 2274 patients undergoing CABG with MECC (n = 1137; 50%) or CECC was performed. Patients were stratified into 4 groups according to age: <59 years, 60–69 years, 70–79 years, and 80 years of age or older. Outcomes were compared within each age group. Patients with preoperative dialysis were excluded from analysis. Primary endpoint was 30-day mortality. Results Patients treated with CECC had a significantly higher mean logistic EuroSCORE (6.3% vs. 5.0%; p < 0.001), a slightly lower rate of preoperative myocardial infarction (46% vs. 51%; p = 0.01) and a higher rate of impaired renal function (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2: 24% vs. 20%; p = 0.01) compared to MECC-patients. Left internal mammary artery was significantly used more often in MECC patients (93% vs. 86%; p < 0.001). Cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic-cross clamping time were significantly lower in the MECC group (p < 0.001). Overall 30-day mortality was significantly higher in patients treated with CECC (4.4% vs. 2.2%; p = 0.002). Within the different age groups mortality rates were not significantly different except for patients aged 60–69 years (4.5% vs. 1.8%; p = 0.03). Postoperative requirement of renal replacement therapy (4% vs. 2.2%; p = 0.01), respiratory insufficiency (9.9% vs. 6.6%; P = 0.004) and incidence of low cardiac output syndrome (3% vs. 1.2%; p = 0.003) were significantly increased in patients with CECC. Multivariate analysis identified age (p = 0.005; 95% CI 1.01 to 1.08; OR 1.05) among other parameters as an independent risk factor, whereas conventional extracorporeal circulation itself did not present as an independent risk factor for 30-day mortality. Conclusions In this matched study sample early outcome was significantly better in patients with MECC compared to CECC, irrespective of age. Prior myocardial infarction estimated GFR < 60 mL and waiving the use of LIMA were independent risk factors for 30-day mortality, which were more present in the CECC group.

Abstract
Aim: The retina and ocular vasculature are vulnerable to alterations in systemic hemodynamics, such as in open heart surgeries. Our aim was to investigate retinal vascular caliber (RVC), ocular pulse amplitude (OPA), peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular thickness in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery patients. Methods: Twenty-six patients who had a history of CABG surgery and 26 age-sex-matched healthy participants were recruited for this prospective, cross-sectional and comparative study. The RVC, peripapillary RNFL and macular thickness measurements were taken with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. The OPA, a surrogate of pulsatile ocular blood flow, was measured with the Pascal dynamic contour tonometer. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the CABG surgery patients and the controls with regard to RVC, OPA, peripapillary RNFL thickness and macular thickness measurements (p>0.05). Conclusions: CABG surgery does not affect retinal structures and pulsatile ocular blood flow in the long-term follow-up.
