Observation group took euthyrox orally 1 week before surgery, control group took vitamin C tablets orally at the same point in time, and both therapies lasted for 1 week. Before taking medicine and after cardiopulmonary bypass (before end of surgery), serum levels of myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes and nerve injury indexes were compared between the two groups of patients. Results: Before taking medicine, differences in the serum levels of myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes and nerve injury indexes were not statistically significant between the two groups of patients. After cardiopulmonary bypass, serum myocardial enzyme spectrum indexes cTnT, CK-MB,α-HBD and LDH levels in observation group were lower than those in control group;serum nerve injury indexes NSE, S100B and GFAP levels were lower than those in control group while bFGF level was higher than that in control group.Conclusion: Euthyrox intervention in valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass can effectively reduce the myocardial and cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.展开更多

The valve is anatomically normal and the incompetence is the result of papillary muscles displacement and annular dilatation, causing leaflets tethering. Functionally the leaflets present a restricted systolic motion due to tethering forces that displaces the coaptation surface toward the left ventricle apex. The patients present poor left ventricular function at the time of surgery and the severity of the mitral regurgitation increases the risk of mortality. Currently there is general agreement to treat surgically severe IMR nevertheless strong evidences for patient with moderate insufficiency remains poor and proper treatment debated. The most effectivesurgical approach for the treatment of IMR remains debated. Some authors demonstrated that coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) alone is beneficial in patients with IMR. Conversely, in most patients, moderate IMR will persist or worsen after CABG alone which translate in higher long-term mortality as a function of residual mitral regurgitation severity. A probable reason for this unclear surgical management of functional MR is due to the contemporary suboptimal results of reparative techniques. The standard surgical treatment of chronic IMR is CABG associated with undersized annuloplasty using complete ring. Though, the recurrence of mitral regurgitation remains high(> 30%) because of continous left ventricle remodeling. To get better long term results, in the last decade, several subvalvular procedures in adjunct to mitral anuloplasty have been developed. Among them, surgical papillary muscle relocation represents the most appreciated option capable to restore normal left ventricle geometry. In the next future new preoperative predictors of increased mitral regurgitation recurrence are certainly needed to find an individual time period of treatment in each patient with moderate IMR.展开更多

METHODS: Two hundred and seventy three octogenarians underwent AVR between 1996 and 2008 at Bristol Royal Inf irmary. Demographics, acute outcomes,length of hospital stay and mortality were obtained. The LES was calculated to characterize the predicted operative risk. Two groups were def ined: LES ≥ 15 (n = 80) and LES < 15 (n = 193). RESULTS: In patients with LES ≥ 15, 30 d mortality was 14% (95% CI: 7%-23%) compared with 4% (95% CI: 2%-8%) in the LES < 15 group (P < 0.007). Despite the increase in number of operations from 1996 to 2008, the average LES did not change. Only 5% of patients had prior bypass surgery. The LES identifi ed a low risk quartile of patients with a very low mortality (4%, n = 8, P < 0.007) at 30 d. The overall surgical results for octogenarians were excellent. The low risk group had an excellent outcome and the high risk group had a poor outcome after surgical AVR. CONCLUSION: It may be better treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation.展开更多

Methods:15 sheep underwent mitral valve replacement(MVR) with this new mechanical valve. Each animal was placed on cardiopulmonary bypass. All of the sheep were given in an anticoagulation protocol and followed for three months. Final studies were performed on all animals surviving for more than 12 weeks. Results:10 sheep died within 48 h after operation,5 sheep survived. The long-term survivors were killed for autopsies,2 sheep were killed after 1 week,1 after 12 weeks and 2 after two and half years. Pathological examination of 10 sheep which died early after operation revealed that there was neither evidence of thrombosis nor any failure of the mechanical valve. Autopsy studies in the 5 long-term survivors revealed that the sewing ring was covered by a thin layer of microthrombi consisted most of platelets and fibrin after 1 week. The sewing ring was covered by a tissue layer,with partial organized microthrombi and endothelialization after 12 weeks. Two and half years after operation,the complete endothelialization presented around the sewing ring without restriction of bileaflet motion. The tissue ingrowth tends to stop at the pyrolytic carbon-fabric interface on both surfaces of left atrium and ventricle. This study demonstrated that the new prosthetic heart valve had not promoted thrombosis and thrombembolism.展开更多
