Is Peripheral Artery Disease an Independent Predictor of Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Outcome? Heart Lung Circ 2020; 29:1502-1510. [PMID: 32165084 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2020.01.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2019] [Revised: 12/14/2019] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
AIM The aim was to use a propensity score-based analysis to determine the impact of peripheral artery disease (PAD) on early outcomes after coronary artery bypass surgery grafting (CABG) in patients with PAD. METHOD We conducted a multicentre retrospective analysis of 11,311 consecutive patients who underwent CABG between 1997 and 2017. Patients with previous or concomitant vascular surgery were excluded. The main endpoints were death, stroke, and limb ischaemia requiring percutaneous or surgical revascularisation. Subgroup analyses were performed to test the interaction of PAD with concomitant factors. RESULTS There was no difference in mortality in patients with and without PAD (p=0.06 and p=0.179, respectively). Patients with PAD had a greater incidence of stroke (p=0.04), acute kidney disease (p=0.003), and limb ischaemia requiring interventions (p<0.001) than those without PAD. The use of off-pump or no-touch aortic techniques did not influence the effect of PAD on the outcomes. Early mortality rate increased in patients with PAD when associated with long cardiopulmonary bypass, cross-clamp times (both p<0.001), and postoperative low cardiac output (p=0.01). CONCLUSIONS The presence of PAD is associated, independently of other factors, with greater incidence of stroke, acute kidney disease, and limb ischaemia following CABG, irrespective of the technique employed. Operative mortality was greater in patients with PAD only when associated with long cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times, and low cardiac output.

Abstract
PURPOSE The surgical outcome of a simultaneous carotid endarterectomy and cardiac surgery has not been clarified. This study retrospectively reviewed short- and mid-term outcomes after a carotid endarterectomy combined with valvular surgery or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS Fifteen patients (12 males and 3 females, mean age 68.9 ± 6.7, range 59-86 years) underwent a carotid endarterectomy combined with cardiac surgery. The main indication for carotid endarterectomy was more than 75% carotid stenosis with or without cerebral ischemic symptom. Eight patients had a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack. Endarterectomy was performed under mild hypothermia and controlled hemodynamics with pulsatile perfusion with cardiopulmonary bypass in all cases. Concomitant cardiac procedures were aortic valve replacement in 1 patient and CABG in 14 patients. RESULTS There was no early death. Early neurological complications occurred in only 1 patient (6.7%). The ratio of heart-type fatty acid binding protein increased significantly in those that suffered postoperative neurological complications. One patient died 6 months after the operation due to pneumonia. There was no myocardial infarction, and no events were observed in the late postoperative periods. CONCLUSIONS Carotid endarterectomy can be safely performed in combination with cardiac surgery. Furthermore, the heat-type fatty acid binding protein levels might be useful for predicting early neurological complications.

Abstract
Background—
The strategy for treating patients with severe asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis and cardiac disease remains unresolved. Staged or combined carotid endarterectomy in these patients offers the potential benefit of decreased neurological morbidity during and after cardiac surgery; however, in high-risk patients with severe coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or renal impairment, the incidence of death and stroke is significantly higher.
Methods and Results—
We report the results of a prospective, single-center study designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) before cardiac surgery in neurologically asymptomatic patients. The periprocedural and long-term outcomes of 356 consecutive patients who underwent CAS before cardiac surgery were analyzed. The procedural success rate of CAS was 97.7%. The death and stroke rate from time of CAS to 30 days after cardiac surgery was 4.8% (n=17). The myocardial infarction rate from time of CAS to 30 days after cardiac surgery was 2.0% (n=7), and the combined death, stroke, and myocardial infarction rate was 6.7% (n=24). Distal embolic protection devices were used in 40% of the cases.
Conclusions—
This large cohort of asymptomatic patients who underwent staged CAS and cardiac surgery experienced a low periprocedural complication rate. The high rate of freedom from death and stroke during the 5 years of follow-up supports the long-term durability of this approach. Our findings suggest that this new strategy may become a valuable alternative in the treatment of patients with combined carotid and cardiac disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic stenosis of extracranial carotid arteries is an important cause of ischemic stroke in Taiwan, an ethnic Chinese population. Concurrent atherosclerotic arterial disease is an important issue in the management of patients with carotid stenosis, but its prevalence and extent are unknown. METHODS One hundred and sixty-three consecutive patients with angiographically proven significant cervical carotid artery stenosis (>or=50% stenosis) were enrolled in this study. Angiography was done to document concurrent coronary, renal, and limb artery stenosis. Clinical symptoms and signs were also correlated with the angiographic findings. RESULTS One or more significant concurrent arterial stenotic disease was found in 73% of the patients. The most frequent were coronary artery disease, found in 68% of the patients, while renal artery stenosis and limb artery stenosis were found in 20% and 21% of the patients, respectively. Age, diabetes, history of angina pectoris, intermittent claudication, and asymmetric arm blood pressures were significantly associated with the presence of concurrent arterial stenosis. However, 41% of the patients with concurrent coronary artery disease did not have any clinical symptoms or history of myocardial infarction. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicated that concurrent advanced and extensive arterial disease is common in patients with significant cervical carotid stenosis, and also suggest the importance of global evaluation of systemic atherosclerosis in these patients to achieve optimal management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify factors correlating with a poor outcome following combined cardiac and vascular procedures. METHODS We reviewed 45 consecutive patients undergoing combined cardiac and vascular operations. These included cardiac/CEA (n=27), cardiac/AAA (n=13), cardiac/AAA/one other vascular reconstruction (n=4), and cardiac/renal artery bypass (n=1). Group I included all patients with no morbidity or mortality (n=41) and Group II included patients who died or suffered significant morbidity (stroke, renal failure) (n=4). RESULTS Overall mortality was 4.4% (2/45). These two patients underwent cardiac surgery combined with two additional vascular procedures (cardiac/AAA/other). In patients undergoing cardiac/CEA or cardiac/AAA, there were no deaths and one stroke (contralateral to CEA). Group II had significantly decreased ejection fraction (39%+/-6% vs 52%+/-1%) and an increased number of procedures (2.75 vs 2.04). CONCLUSIONS Combined cardiac surgery and vascular reconstruction can be performed safely. However, multiple vascular reconstructions or the presence of decreased ejection fraction increased operative risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Results of synchronous combined revascularization were examined in specific patient groups with coexistent coronary and cerebrovascular diseases. METHODS Between 1.1.1980 and 31.12.1998, 408 patients underwent a synchronous combined carotid endarterectomy (CEA)+myocardial revascularization (CABG). In 259 (63.5%) patients, carotid disease was asymptomatic. Remaining patients presented with a previous stroke (n=35) or a transient ischemic episode (TIA) (n=114). In 245 (60%) patients, carotid stenosis was bilateral (Group A: bilateral > or =80% stenosis, Group B: contralateral occlusion, Group C: contralateral subcritical disease). A synchronous ipsilateral CEA+CABG was performed in all patients with an unilateral disease (n=163) and also in all Group B (n=33) and Group C (n=142) patients with bilateral disease. A simultaneous bilateral CEA+CABG was performed in 12 high risk Group A patients. Remaining Group A patients (n=58), initially underwent an ipsilateral CEA for most dominant lesion+CABG, soon followed by the contralateral CEA. Results were examined in above specific patient Groups. RESULTS Overall combined hospital mortality from stroke+myocardial infarction was 2.45%. No independent predictor of stroke was identified. In general, initial prophylactic CEA, subdued the risk of subsequent strokes for 7-8yr. Predictors of a late stroke were: progression of bilateral (P=0.007) and intracranial (P=0.04) cerebrovascular disease. Highest risk of an early stroke was recorded in Group A patients. A composite high risk group of patients with multiple risk factors (n=155) demonstrated a higher risk of both early and late strokes, as compared to the remaining patients (n=253) (P<0.04). Observed risk of early and late strokes, in specific patient groups was lower than standard predictions. CONCLUSIONS A regular use of combined approach was justified in the above patient groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A retrospective chart review of 94 patients with asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis undergoing coronary bypass (and valve replacement in some cases) was performed to determine whether significant carotid lesions can be safely ignored in patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures. These operations were performed during a 2-year period. PATIENTS AND METHODS There were 55 men and 39 women, with an age range of 37-89 years. Seventy-one patients had unilateral high-grade carotid stenosis, 17 patients had bilateral high-grade lesions, and six patients had unilateral high-grade stenosis and contralateral occlusion. Associated medical problems were recorded and short-term follow-up was obtained. RESULTS There was one perioperative stroke and no deaths in this group of patients. CONCLUSIONS Although these data indicate that high-grade carotid stenoses may be safely ignored during cardiac surgical procedures, a multicentre prospective randomized trial is needed to determine the appropriate treatment of the patient with coexisting carotid and coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Cardiac disorders are increasingly recognised as an important source of cerebral embolism. Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac dysrrhythmia that can predispose to stroke. Recent advances have significantly increased the identification of clinical, hematological and echocardiographic risk factors that predict the occurrence of atrial fibrillation related stroke. Also, clinical risk stratification has been used to determine medical therapy (aspirin or warfarin) for prevention of atrial fibrillation related brain embolization. Among the various structural heart diseases causing stroke, the role of patent foramen ovale remains controversial. Strides have been made in the use of ultrasonographic techniques such as transesophageal echocardiography and contrast transcranial doppler to detect patent foramen ovale. Coronary artery bypass grafting is often performed in patients with concomitant aortic atheroma and carotid stenosis that may predispose to stroke in the perioperative period. It is now possible to identify perioperatively significant aortic atherosclerosis (using transesophageal echocardiography and aortic ultrasound) and significant carotid disease (using carotid ultrasound) and make appropriate modifications in surgical technique to reduce the incidence of coronary artery bypass grafting related stroke. Because of shared risk factors it is not surprising that coronary artery disease is frequently found in stroke patients. Recent studies suggest that more than one-third of stroke patients have asymptomatic coronary artery disease. Conversely, the brain damaged by infarction may itself be responsible for the production of cardiac structural and electrical abnormalities. Both these factors may contribute to the finding that cardiac events are the leading cause of death in stroke patients on long term follow-up. Recognition of these correlations has enhanced our ability to treat and prevent stroke related mortality.
