Journal of cardiothoracic surgery, 19(1) 635-635, Nov 22, 2024As the current guidelines on myocardial revascularization recommend, transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) is increasingly used for intraoperative graft flow analysis during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as a less invasive, more highly reproducible, and less time-consuming method. In addition to the morphological assessment using color Doppler, mean graft flow (Qm) > 15 ml/min, pulsatility index (PI) < 5.0, diastolic filling (DF) > 50%, and systolic reverse flow (SRF) < 4% have been reported to predict patent CABG grafts. However, it is difficult to determine the clear-cut cut-off value of these parameters, because they varies with the hemodynamic characters, including fractional flow reserve (FFR) of the target coronary artery. In addition to these parameters, we focused on fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis, because the TTFM waveform morphology may be more important than Qm itself. FFT analysis is based on the principle that any periodic waveforms can be broken down into a series of pure sine waves or harmonics. Herein we review FFT analysis of the intraoperative TTFM waveforms for quality assessment of CABG grafts.

Journal of clinical medicine, 13(18), Sep 14, 2024Background: We have employed a conservative management approach, including intensive control of both blood pressure and heart rate, in patients with aortic intramural hematoma (AIMH) and retrograde thrombosed type A acute aortic dissection (RT-TAAAD), sharing common clinical and imaging characteristics. Methods: To evaluate the outcomes of our conservative management approach, we retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 98 patients diagnosed with AIMH or RT-TAAAD from January 2008 to March 2023. A conservative management approach was applied, except for those patients with an aortic diameter ≥ 55 mm, false lumen expansion, or cardiac tamponade, who underwent emergency aortic repair. Results: Besides 2 patients, who declined surgery and subsequently died from aortic rupture, 18 patients underwent urgent aortic surgery, while 78 did not. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified the extrusion type of ulcer-like projections (ULPs) on admission and a maximum aortic diameter ≥ 45 mm on Day 1 as risk factors for acute aortic surgery. Among the 78 patients who were discharged, 9 (12%) underwent aortic surgery, while 69 (88%) did not, with a median follow-up of 44 months. The overall actuarial aortic surgery-free rates were 78% at 1 year and 72% at 5 years, respectively. A Cox proportional hazards analysis identified ULPs and an aortic diameter ≥ 45 mm at discharge as risk factors for late aortic surgery. Conclusions: The early and late outcomes of our conservative strategy for AIMH and RT-TAAAD demonstrate favorable surgery-free rates. The extrusion type of ULPs on admission and an aortic diameter ≥ 45 mm on Day 1 are predictors of acute aortic surgery, while ULPs and an aortic diameter ≥ 45 mm at discharge are predictors of late surgery.

Journal of cardiology cases, 27(6) 251-253, Jun, 2023UNLABELLED: We report a case of surgically repaired symptomatic mitral valve regurgitation (MR) in a 61-year-old woman with anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein. A two-staged surgery was scheduled; first a catheter embolization of anomalous vessel to avoid recirculation of the blood into the left atrium during cardiopulmonary bypass, and second a mitral valve repair via right lateral thoracotomy. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Scimitar sign is a horn-like shape on plain chest radiograph. One of the possible diagnoses is partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (APVR), which often requires surgical interventions due to comorbidities of congenital heart disease and recurrent pneumonia [1-3]. Another is anomalous unilateral single pulmonary vein (AUSPV), which is generally asymptomatic, and therefore, requires no medical interventions. This case addresses the advantage of multidetector computed tomography (CT) and the safety of two-staged strategy.

Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 35(3), Aug 3, 2022OBJECTIVES: Patients with cardiovascular disease are vulnerable to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) infection. Although SARS-CoV2 vaccination may be effective, its impact on surgical patients is not well studied. We investigated the effects of cardiovascular surgery, especially under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), on the antibody titres after SARS-CoV2 vaccination. METHODS: A prospective observational study was designed for patients undergoing surgery between July and November 2021. The immunoglobulin G against the receptor-binding domain was measured and antibody preserved rate (APR) was calculated from perioperative titres comparison. RESULTS: Enrolled 63 study patients were divided into 39 undergoing surgery with CPB (Group CPB) and 24 without CPB (Group None). Preoperative vaccines were BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) (n = 58, 92%) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) (n = 5, 8%). While immunoglobulin G against the receptor-binding domain titres did not significantly decrease after surgery in Group None, they decreased significantly in Group CPB from 21.80 [11.15, 37.85] to 11.95 [6.80, 18.18] U/ml (P < 0.001) a day after surgery, 11.40 [7.85, 22.65] U/ml (P < 0.001) 14 days after surgery and 7.60 [4.80, 17.60] U/ml (P < 0.001) a month after surgery. The APRs a day after the surgery were significantly lower in Group CPB (0.46 [0.41, 0.60]) than in Group None (0.80 [0.68, 0.87]) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The SARS-CoV2 antibody titres significantly decreased with lower APRs immediately after surgery under CPB. Based on our informative results, careful considerations of vaccination schedule might be required for surgery under CPB.

SURGERY TODAY, 39(7) 603-605, Jul, 2009 Peer-reviewedThis report presents an extremely rare case of paraplegia following emergency surgery for a nonruptured symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm. A 62-year-old man underwent an emergency surgical repair for a symptomatic nonruptured infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. On postoperative day 2 paraplegia following spinal cord ischemia occurred at the T8 level. The site of the ischemia was situated too high for clamping to have caused this condition, unless the patient had a congenital anomaly in the blood supply to the spinal cord or it had been caused by the previously occluded great radicular artery, which was maintained by the collateral blood supply from the iliac circulation.

Left axillary arterial perfusion for cerebrospinal protection in proximal descending aortic aneurysmGeneral Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 56(12) 589-591, Dec, 2008 Peer-reviewedA 73-year-old man presented with DeBakey type IIIa chronic aortic dissection. The aneurysm of the descending aorta was replaced using an open proximal technique with hypothermic circulatory arrest. For cerebrospinal protection, the left axillary artery was cannulated, which perfuses the vertebral artery and affects the Willis arterial circle, the anterior spinal artery, and the collateral blood supply to the spinal cord. Cannulation of the left axillary artery was a safe and effective surgical option for antegrade cerebral perfusion and spinal protection. © 2008 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 56(1) 22-24, Jan, 2008 Peer-reviewedAberrant right subclavian artery is a rare condition with a prevalence of 0.5%-2.0% of the population. We report a case of distal aortic arch aneurysm with right subclavian artery. A 75-year-old man who was asymptomatic was referred to our hospital for a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Computed tomography showed a 55-mm fusiform aneurysm of the distal arch and an aberrant right subclavian artery. Total arch replacement was performed via median sternotomy with antegrade selective cerebral perfusion and hypothermic circulatory arrest. We reconstructed the aberrant right subclavian artery in the normal position to avoid compression of the esophagus and trachea caused by future aneurysmal dilatation of the orifice of the aberrant right subclavian artery and potential high risk for rupture. © 2008 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

CIRCULATION JOURNAL, 71(11) 1669-1677, Nov, 2007 Peer-reviewedBackground Restenosis still occurs, even with the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES), and the precise mechanisms and the impact of stent fracture on restensosis have not yet been elucidated. Methods and Results Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided SES implantation was performed in 184 lesions in 151 patients with stable and unstable angina. Serial (pre-, post- and follow-up) quantitative coronary angiography analysis was obtained in 169 lesions in 138 patients (angiographic follow-up rate: 91%) and 12-month clinical follow-up was done in all patients. Restenosis occurred in 13 (7.7%) of 169 lesions. Stent fracture occurred in 4 (2.4%) of 169 lesions at follow-up. Of the 13 restenotic lesions, 8 had intimal hyperplasia, 4 had stent fracture, and 1 had late stent thrombosis at 7 months. Although multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that minimal lumen area (min-LA) post (p=0.027), total stent length (p=0.003) and diabetes (p=0.032) were significant independent predictors of restenosis, univariate analysis showed that stent fracture was more common in the restenosis than in the non-restenosis groups (p=0.001). Conclusions Although min-LA post by IVUS, total stent length by QCA and diabetes are independent predictors for angiographic restenosis, stent fracture occurred in 4 lesions (2.4%) and all of them resulted in restenosis (31% of the restenosis). The impact of stent fracture and its potential role in the development of restenosis deserves further study.

Japanese Journal of Vascular Surgery, 16(2) 49-54, 2007Background: Infrainguinal angioplasty provides a minimally invasive alternative to bypass surgery in patients with severe limb ischemia in whom surgery involves a high risk. This study aimed to evaluate early patency, limb salvage effect, and initial technical success rates in patients who underwent infrainguinal angioplasty.Patients and Methods: A total of 29 patients (37 limbs) who presented with severe claudication, rest pain, ulcer, gangrene, or a combination of these conditions were treated with infrainguinal angioplasty between February 2005 and September 2006. Angioplasty was performed using appropriately sized balloons or stents, or both. Intraluminal self expanding stents were used in cases of the superficial femoral artery and were not used in the infrapopliteal, tibial, and peroneal arteries.Results: The primary success rates were 100% for superficial femoral artery stenting and infrapopliteal artery balloon angioplasty. The 3-month primary patency rate, primary assisted patency rate, limb salvage rate, and survival rate were 94%, 100%, 96% and 100% for superficial femoral artery stenting, and 89%, 89%, 100% and 86% for infrapopliteal artery balloon angioplasty as estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis.Conclusions: Infrainguinal angioplasty is a feasible primary treatment of critical limb ischemia in high-risk patients, providing excellent technical success and acceptable patency and limb salvage rates, comparable with surgical bypass surgery.
