Carbon monoxide improves cardiac energetics and safeguards the heart during reperfusion after cardiopulmonary bypass in pigs

2004

Ischemia-reperfusion injury, a clinical problem during cardiac surgery, involves worsened adenosine trisphosphate (ATP) generation and damage to the heart. We studied carbon monoxide ( CO) pretreatment, proven valuable in rodents but not previously tested in large animals, for its effects on pig hearts subjected to cardiopulmonary bypass with cardioplegic arrest. Hearts of CO-treated pigs showed significantly higher ATP and phosphocreatine levels, less interstitial edema, and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and required fewer defibrillations after bypass. We conclude that treatment with CO improves the energy status, prevents edema formation and apoptosis, and facilitates recovery in a clinical…

Aneurysma des Ductus arteriosus Botalli

2000

A congenital aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus Botalli was detected by chest X-ray as an intrathoracic mass in a 7-day-old infant. Following confirmation of the diagnosis by echocardiography and MRI the aneurysm was successfully resected via left lateral thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful. Six years after operation the patient is asymptomatic and growing normally. An intrathoracic mass may be considered in the differential diagnosis especially in infants and children. Aneurysms of ductus arteriosus potentially are associated with serious complications. Timely diagnosis and early surgical intervention are decisive for prevention of serious com…

Pressor amines in coronary artery bypass grafting procedure with and without the use of extracorporeal circulation

2017

Wstęp: Operacje rewaskularyzacji mięśnia sercowego są najczęściej wykonywanymi procedurami w praktyce kardiochirurgicznej. Rozwój technik pomostowania tętnic wieńcowych bez użycia krążenia pozaustrojowego spowodował, iż modyfikacjom uległy również techniki znieczulenia. W prowadzeniu znieczulenia do zabiegów typu OPCA B anestezjolog musi szczególnie szybko reagować na częste, czasem nieprzewidywalne zmiany sytuacji hemodynamicznej. Cel pracy: Celem pracy było porównanie zastosowania amin presyjnych wśród pacjentów poddanych chirurgicznej rewaskularyzacji mięśnia sercowego z krążeniem pozaustrojowym i bez niego. Materiał i metody: Badanie miało charakter retrospektywny. Badaniem objęto 80 ch…

The effect of off-pump coronary artery bypass on mortality after acute coronary syndrome: A meta-analysis

2012

Background Patients requiring surgical revascularisation for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) form a clinically heterogeneous group ranging from haemodynamic stability to cardiogenic shock. Whilst 'off-pump' revascularisation (OPCAB) is often considered, patient selection and operative timing remain controversial. This study aims to identify whether OPCAB may confer a mortality benefit over ONCAB in revascularisation for ACS. Secondly, we review the impact of OPCAB on completeness of revascularisation (CR) and long-term re-intervention. Methods A systematic literature review identified 9 studies (1 randomised controlled trial) of which 8 fulfilled criteria for meta-analysis. Outcomes for a tot…

Changes in lymphocyte subsets after cardiac surgery in children.

2001

Children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) operations have an increased risk of developing severe infections. Impairment of the immune system may contribute to the development of sequelae such as capillary leaks, pulmonary dysfunction and auto-immune reactions. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of cardiac surgery with CPB on the immune system of infants and young children. We conducted a prospective study to investigate the changes in circulating lymphocyte subpopulations in a sample of 21 consecutive infants and young children undergoing cardiac surgery for congenital heart disease. The following statistically significant (P<0.05) results were obtained: leucoc…

0057 : Preoperative Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF15) as a novel biomarker of acute kidney injury after cardiac bypass surgery

2015

ObjectivePreviously, we demonstrated that preoperative plasma GDF15 levels significantly improved the prognostic value of the EuroSCORE for mortality after cardiac surgery. Despite the strong correlation between GDF15 and renal function, no data are available regarding the potential interest of preoperative GDF15 levels to improve the prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Design134 patients operated on for CABG of whom 50 underwent offpump surgery at our university hospital were included in this prospective, observational study. Exclusion criteria were age 80 years, previous atrial fibrillation/flutter, previous severe renal failure (estimated …

Myocardial Protection by Retrograde Cardioplegic Perfusion in the Presence of Acute Coronary Artery Obstruction: An Experimental Study

1992

To investigate retrograde delivery of cardioplegic solutions as a means of enhancing myocardial protection in the presence of coronary artery occlusion, a two-part experimental model was devised. In part 1 (in vitro) the possibility of retroperfusing the entire myocardium during acute occlusion of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) was assessed. In part 2 (in vivo) acute LAD occlusion was performed in dogs, and during 2 hours of aortic cross-clamping crystalline cardioplegic solution was infused at 20-minute intervals. In group I the infusion was antegrade, via the aortic root, and in group II it was retrograde, via the coronary sinus. Thereafter the LAD snare was released and the do…

Treatment of pulmonary hypertension in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass: a randomized, prospective, double-blind study

2006

Pulmonary hypertension can already be present in patients undergoing cardiac surgery or can be exacerbated by cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative treatment is still a challenge for physicians. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of inhaled prostacyclin (iPGI2) and nitric oxide (iNO) compared with those of intravenous vasodilators.This prospective, randomized, double-blind study included 58 patients affected by severe mitral valve stenosis and pulmonary hypertension with high pulmonary vascular resistance (250 dynes x s x cm(-5)) and a mean pulmonary artery pressure25 mmHg. All patients were monitored by central venous, radial arterial and Swan-Ganz catheters. Data were recor…

Increased Phospholipid Transfer Protein Activity Is Associated With Markers of Enhanced Lipopolysaccharide Clearance in Human During Cardiopulmonary …

2021

Introduction: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a component of gram-negative bacteria, known for its ability to trigger inflammation. The main pathway of LPS clearance is the reverse lipopolysaccharide transport (RLT), with phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) and lipoproteins playing central roles in this process in experimental animal models. To date, the relevance of this pathway has never been studied in humans. Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is known to favor LPS digestive translocation. Our objective was to determine whether pre-operative PLTP activity and triglyceride or cholesterol-rich lipoprotein concentrations were associated to LPS concentrations in patients undergoing ca…
