Two Invasive Thymomas Incidentally Found during Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.

ABSTRACT: Thymoma, the most common neoplasm of the anterior mediastinum, is a rare tumor of thymic epithelium that can be locally invasive. We reported 2 cases of invasive thymoma incidentally found during routine coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery at Faghihee Hospital of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences of Iran in a period of about 6 months. The 2 patients were male and above 60 years old. They had no clinical symptoms and radiological evidence of mediastinal mass before detection of the tumor during operation. For both patients mass was completely excised and sent to the laboratory. The ultimate pathological diagnosis of both masses was invasive thymoma (stage 2). There are few reports in which thymomas were found incidentally during cardiac surgery. In spite of rare coincidence, due to being asymptomatic and possibly invasive, special attention to thymus gland during cardiac surgery or other mediastinal surgery and preoperative imaging studies seem to be reasonable approach.

Remote ischemic preconditioning in on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Project description:In this placebo-controlled randomized controlled trial, we tested whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) elicited by four 5-minute cycles of 300 mmHg of cuff inflation/deflation of the lower limb would reduce myocardial necrosis in isoflurane-anesthetized patients undergoing on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Secondary outcomes were the perioperative release of the biomarkers NTproBNP, hsCRP, S100, atrial transcriptional profiles, and short- and long-term clinical outcomes. RIPC with concomitantly applied isoflurane did not affect the release of biomarkers or clinical outcome. NTproBNP release correlated with isoflurane- but not RIPC-induced transcriptional changes. For eleven randomly selected patients from each group (RIPC/CTL=no RIPC) two atrial samples were collected, one at the time of cannulation (T1) and one fifteen min after releasing the cross clamp (T2). The samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and later used for RNA isolation and subsequent microarray hybridization. Gene-level analysis was performed. the results of exon-level analysis will be published separately (only preliminary results available so far).

Hiatal hernia after robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of the present study is to determine the incidence/progression of hiatal hernia (HH) after robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (RA-CABG) surgery.MethodsWe reviewed the pre- and post-operative computed tomography (CT) of 491 patients who underwent RA-CABG between 2000 and 2017. Post-operative CT was acquired prospectively in a research protocol. CT was reviewed to assess the presence and the size of HH.ResultsWe found 444/491 (90.4%) had pre-operative CT, while 201/491 (40.9%) had post-operative CT. In total, 155/491 (31.6%) had both pre- and long-term post-operative CT with a mean follow-up of 6.2 (±3.5) years. HH was more prevalent on post-operative CT, 64/155 (41.3%) compared to pre-operative CT, 44/155 (28.4%), P<0.0001. The diameter of pre-existing HH 2.8 (±1.8) cm was significantly greater after surgery 3.9 (±2.5) cm, P<0.0001. As well the volume of the pre-existing HH 5.8 (4.4-9.2) mL (quartile) was significantly greater after surgery 14.1 (7.2-64.9) mL, P<0.0001. 20/155 (12.9%) had a newly developed HH after RA-CABG. A binary multivariate regression including HH risk factors showed that male gender is a predictor of developing a HH after RA-CABG with Hazard Ratio of 3.038, confidence interval (1.10-8.43), P=0.033.ConclusionsRA-CABG is associated with an increased risk of developing HH and increases the size of pre-existing HH.

Transesophageal Echocardiography in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery.

Project description:BackgroundThe impact of utilization of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) at the time of isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on clinical decision making and associated outcomes is not well understood.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the association of TEE with post-CABG mortality and changes to the operative plan.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of planned isolated CABG patients from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database between January 1, 2011, and June 30, 2019, was performed. The exposure variable of interest was use of intraoperative TEE during CABG compared with no TEE. The primary outcome was operative mortality. The association of TEE with unplanned valve surgery was also assessed.ResultsOf 1,255,860 planned isolated CABG procedures across 1218 centers, 676,803 (53.9%) had intraoperative TEE. The percentage of patients receiving intraoperative TEE increased over time from 39.9% in 2011 to 62.1% in 2019 (p trend <0.0001). CABG patients undergoing intraoperative TEE had lower odds of mortality (adjusted odds ratio: 0.95; 95% confidence interval: 0.91 to 0.99; p = 0.025), with heterogeneity across STS risk groups (p interaction = 0.015). TEE was associated with increased odds of unplanned valve procedure in lieu of planned isolated CABG (adjusted odds ratio: 4.98; 95% confidence interval: 3.98 to 6.22; p < 0.0001).ConclusionsIntraoperative TEE usage during planned isolated CABG is associated with lower operative mortality, particularly in higher-risk patients, as well as greater odds of unplanned valve procedure. These findings support usage of TEE to improve outcomes for isolated CABG for high-risk patients.

Survival enhancing indications for coronary artery bypass graft surgery in California.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is performed because of anticipated survival benefit, improvement in quality of life, or both. We performed this study to explore variations in clinical indications for CABG surgery among California hospitals and surgeons.MethodsUsing California CABG Outcomes Reporting Program data, we classified all isolated CABG cases in 2003-2004 as having "probable survival enhancing indications (SEIs)", "possible SEIs" or "non-SEIs." Patient and hospital characteristics associated with SEIs were examined.ResultsWhile 82.9% of CABG were performed for probable SEIs, the range extended from 68% to 96% among hospitals and 51% to 100% among surgeons. SEI rates were higher among patients aged >or= 65 compared with those aged 18-64 (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] > 1.29 for age groups 65-69, 70-74 and >or= 75; all p < 0.001), among Asians and Native Americans compared with Caucasians (AOR 1.22 and 1.15, p < 0.001); and among patients with hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease and congestive heart failure compared to patients without these conditions (AOR > 1.09, all p < 0.001). Variations in indications for surgery were more strongly related to patient mix than to surgeon or hospital effects (intraclass correlation [ICC] = 0.04 for hospital; ICC = 0.01 for surgeon).ConclusionCalifornia hospitals and surgeons vary in their distribution of indications for CABG surgery. Further research is required to identify the roles of market factors, referral patterns, patient preferences, and local clinical culture in producing the observed variations.

Symptomatic late saphenous vein graft failure in coronary artery bypass surgery.

Project description:ObjectivesCoronary artery bypass grafting for advanced coronary artery disease is a well-established procedure with excellent long-term results. The issue of saphenous vein graft (SVG) performance and its relation to clinical symptoms and thereby the potential for improvement by using superior grafts are still not fully understood. We aim to estimate the contribution of late SVG failure to the long-term outcome.MethodsA study population operated between 1997 and 2020, with an internal thoracic artery with a single distal anastomosis and 1, 2 or 3 distal SVG anastomoses, was isolated from the Swedish Web System for Enhancement and Development of Evidence-Based Care in Heart Disease Evaluated According to Recommended Therapies registry. Data regarding postoperative clinically driven coronary angiography and status of bypass grafts were collected.ResultsThe study population consisted of 44 951 patients. Clinically driven angiography occurred in 10.1% (9.5-10.8), 7.9% (7.6-8.3) and 7.1% (6.7-7.5), respectively, of patients within 3 years and 23.6% (22.6-24.5), 20.0% (19.5-20.6) and 17.5% (16.9-18.2), respectively, of patients within 10 years after surgery. Excluding the first 3 postoperative years, no failed SVGs were found in >75%, 60% and 45%, respectively, of cases when an angiography was performed in the first 10 years after surgery.ConclusionsThe results suggest that the risk of symptomatic graft failure due to vein graft disease during the first 10 years after surgery is in the range of 1-2% for every grafted coronary vessel and provide an estimate for the upper limit of the improvements in results that could be achieved by replacing SVGs with superior grafts.

Perioperative covert stroke in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Project description:ObjectivesCovert stroke is a complication of coronary artery bypass graft surgery that is increasingly recognized as a serious problem. In noncardiac surgery settings, covert stroke is associated with the development of delirium, long-term cognitive decline, and future clinical stroke. Therefore, we sought to determine the feasibility of conducting a large, prospective cohort study of the influence of covert stroke on neurocognitive outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.MethodsNeuroVISION Cardiac pilot was a prospective cohort study enrolling patients aged ≥21 years undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery to receive diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the brain after surgery to identify patients with covert stroke. Patients were screened for postoperative delirium in-hospital and were administered questionnaires of cognitive and global function (once before and twice after surgery). Regional cerebral oxygen saturation was recorded during surgery using near-infrared spectroscopy.ResultsBetween March 27, 2017, and February 11, 2018, 50 of 66 patients enrolled (76%) completed the brain magnetic resonance imaging (1 patient per week). Among the 49 patients included in the analysis, 19 (39%; 95% confidence interval, 26%-53%) experienced perioperative covert stroke and 3 (6%) had a clinical stroke within 30 days of surgery. Postoperative delirium occurred in 5 (26%) patients with covert stroke and in 3 (10%) patients who did not experience covert stroke.ConclusionsThe NeuroVISION Cardiac pilot study established the feasibility of conducting a large, prospective cohort study of the determinants and consequences of covert stroke in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Chromosome 9p21 variant predicts mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Project description:BackgroundRecent genome-wide association studies have identified several chromosome 9p21 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction in nonsurgical populations. We have recently demonstrated an independent association between these 9p21 variants and perioperative myocardial injury after isolated primary coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. This study investigated the association of a 9p21 variant with mortality in patients after CABG surgery and its prognostic value to improve the EuroSCORE.Methods and resultsIn a 2-center, prospective, observational study of 846 white primary CABG surgery patients, we genotyped rs10116277, the 9p21 variant with the strongest association to perioperative myocardial injury in our cohort. To estimate the utility of rs10116277 for predicting all-cause mortality within 5 years after surgery, a Cox proportional hazard model was constructed to estimate the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) while adjusting for demographics and clinical covariates. The homozygote minor allele of rs10116277 was associated with significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality even after adjusting for other clinical predictors of mortality in a Cox proportional hazards model (HR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.7; P=0.026). Addition of rs10116277 to the logistic EuroSCORE also significantly improved model prediction for mortality (HR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.15-2.88; P=0.01).ConclusionsThe 9p21 variant rs10116277 is independently associated with all-cause mortality after primary CABG surgery in whites and significantly improves the predictive value of the logistic EuroSCORE.
