To evaluate the short-term and long-term outcomes of myocardial revascularization – percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) – in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. \u0000Materials and methods. This one-center prospective study was conducted on the basis of the Ukrainian Children’s Cardiac Center, Clinic for Adults, Kyiv, Ukraine. Analysis included 194 patients with CAD and HF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. The studied cohort of patients underwent myocardial revascularization: 99 (51.1%) patients through PCI and 95 (48.9%) patients through CABG during 24 months (between January 2020 and January 2022). \u0000Results and discussion. PCI and CAD were associated with a similar risk of all-cause mortality during 30-day follow-up (HR 0,95; [95% CI], 0.135-6.796; p=0.96). When analyzing the long-term results of myocardial revascularization in terms of the effect on all-cause mortality, PCI and CABG had identical results, no significant difference was observed (HR 1.05; [95% CI], 0.448-2.481; p = 0.903). However, PCI was associated with an increased risk of repeated myocardial revascularization (HR 3.00; [95% CI], 1.251-7.221; p=0.025) compared with CABG. Patients who underwent CABG had a significant difference in the number of re-hospitalizations due to HF progression compared to those after PCI (HR 0.33; [95% CI], 0.170-0.652; p=0.002). The rehabilitation period was 2±4 days in patients after PCI, and 7±4 days in patients after CABG, which corresponded to a statistically significant difference (HR 3.48; [95% CI], 2.489-4.891; p <0.001). The visual analog scale scores of pain intensity were 3±1 in patients after PCI and 7±2 in those after CABG, the difference is statistically significant (HR 3.16; [95% CI], 2.283-4.382; p <0.001). \u0000Conclusions. Results of myocardial revascularization with PCI and CABG had identical short-term and long-term all-cause mortality rates. However, PCI was associated with a higher risk of repeated myocardial revascularization over a 2-year follow-up period. CABG, in turn, was associated with more frequent HF readmissions than PCI. The rehabilitation period was statistically shorter in patients after PCI. According to the visual analog scale, the pain in patients after CABG was more pronounced.","PeriodicalId":33680,"journal":{"name":"Ukrayins''kii zhurnal sertsevosudinnoyi khirurgiyi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46425150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the study of the peculiarities of surgical treatment of ventricular septal defect in patients with different deadlines for surgical intervention after the development of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the most appropriate approach to the correction of PIVSR in such patients was determined. In particular, taking into account mortality risk (42 %), the most reasonable is the use of wait-and-see tactics in the management of patients with PIVSR at the early stages after the development of AMI. At the same time, the decision on the timing of surgical intervention should be made individually, taking into account the clinical condition of the patient and the course of the postinfarction heart remodeling. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the effectiveness of the use of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation and the time intervals of surgical intervention from the moment of hospitalization in patients with PIVSR. It was found that clinical course of coronary heart disease complicated by PIVSR can be extremely unpredictable not only in the early postinfarction period, but also up to 2 months after the development of AMI. In addition, when planning the amount of surgical intervention, it is necessary to take into account the presence of multivessel atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries in patients with PIVSR, regardless of the timing after the development of AMI.","PeriodicalId":33680,"journal":{"name":"Ukrayins''kii zhurnal sertsevosudinnoyi khirurgiyi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43856984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patient R., male, 67 years old, underwent examination and treatment from April 22 to May 25, 2021 at the department of surgical treatment of acquired heart diseases of the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine with the diagnosis of stage IV mitral regurgitation, stage IV tricuspid insufficiency, high grade pulmonary hypertension, permanent atrial fibrillation (lasting 10 years since 2011), IIB heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), secondary hypothyroidism (state of drug subcompensation). Upon admission, the patient was in a state of circulatory decompensation, which required long-term medical preparation for the operation. After his condition was improved, the patient underwent surgery: mitral valve replacement with complete preservation of the valve apparatus, triangular plasty of LA, tricuspid valve plasty with the imposition of a support ring and resection of the right atrium. There were no complications during the intraoperative period.

Evaluation of the clinical effect and glycemic variability of dapagliflozin in patients with angiographically confirmed CAD and concomitant type 2 DM. \u0000Materials and methods. The study involved 47 patients with angiographically confirmed CAD. The patients underwent laboratory blood tests, electrocardiography, echocardiography, continuous glucose monitoring and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Depending on the usage of dapagliflozin 10 mg, the patients were divided into 2 groups: group I (+SGLT2i, n = 24) and group II (–SGLT2i, n = 23). The average follow-up period was 16 months. \u0000Results. Distribution of the examined patients by age, anthropometric characteristics, duration of DM, functional state of the heart and kidneys, smoking, the presence of acute cardiovascular events and previous PCI showed no statistically significant difference. In patients of group I, on the background of taking SGLT2i, a decrease in body mass index and improved glycemic profile were revealed. Patients in group II were more likely to have complaints of angina (4 [17.3%] vs 1 [4.3%], p>0.05); repeated coronary angiography in this group was significantly more likely to reveal progression to atherosclerotic CAD (4 [17.3%], p<0.05) which required re-revascularization.

In 1989, Billingsley et al. first reported the addition of bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis to definitive biventricular repair in patients with RV hypoplasia, pulmonary artery atresia, and intact interventricular septum in four patients, and introduced the term one and half ventricle repair (1.5VR). The method of 1.5VR consists of bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis, which reduces the volume load on the RV, in addition to the complete repair of other CHDs. \u0000The aim. To assess perioperative characteristics of patients, immediate and long-term results after surgical correction of complex CHD through the method of 1.5VR. \u0000Materials and methods. In the period from 1996 to 2022, surgical correction was performed in 33 patients with complex CHD combined with hypoplasia and/or dysfunction of the RV at the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. There were 21 male patients (64%) and 12 female patients (36%). The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 57.9 months. Me = 34 [3.5; 312] months. The main method of diagnosis in determining the defect and assessing the immediate and long-term results was echocardiographic examination and probing of the heart cavities, which made it possible to assess the morphology, kinetics of the heart structures, and hemodynamic state. Depending on the selected tactics of surgical treatment, all the patients were divided into two groups: group І (n=21) with patients operated through the method of 1.5VR, and group ІІ (n = 12) including those operated through the single ventricle pathway. \u0000Results. In the early postoperative period, there were 3 (9%) deaths in both groups: one (4.7%) death in group I, and 2 (16%) deaths among patients of group II. In all the deceased patients, the cause of death was acute heart failure, which subsequently led to multiple organ failure. In one patient of the group II, in addition to heart failure, acute cerebrovascular accident occurred. In the group I, the average indicator of systemic saturation (92±6.2%) at discharge from the hospital was higher, than that in group II (87±4.7%).

To compare the effectiveness of methods of protecting the brain and visceral organs during operations for aortic aneurysms combined with coronary artery lesions. \u0000Materials and methods. In the period from 2012 to 2020, 23 patients with Stanford type A and non-A non-B aortic dissection with damage to the coronary arteries were operated at the National Amosov Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery of the NAMS of Ukraine using the brain protection techniques. Out of 23 surgical interventions, 16 were performed for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection, 3 for Stanford type A chronic aortic dissection, 1 for Stanford type A subacute aortic dissection, and 3 for Stanford non-A non-B aortic dissection. The main causes of aortic dissection were hypertension (16 patients), Marfan syndrome (3 patients), bicuspid aortic valve (4 patients). \u0000Results. The most threatening postoperative complication in this group of patients is neurological damage, which was observed in 4 (17%) patients after surgery, with gradual recovery of brain function. Also, the complications observed were respiratory failure in 3 (13%) patients, which required long-term artificial ventilation (more than 72 hours), and multiple organ failure in 1 (4.3%) patient, which caused a fatal outcome.Complications such as kidney and liver failure were not observed (most likely due to the small sample size). Heart failure was not noted as well. Hospital mortality was 4.3% (1 fatal case). In our study, among the entire group of operated patients, symptoms of neurological damage occurred in 4 (17.4%) patients, hemorrhagic stroke was present in 1 (4.3%) patient with a complicated medical history, 2 (8.6%) patients had hemiparesis and in 1 case (4.3%) there were cognitive disorders. \u0000Conclusions. Comparing brain protection techniques, taking into account the prolongation of aortic clamping time due to coronary artery shunting compared to isolated aortic dissection, it can be concluded that longer duration of selective brain perfusion (retrograde or antegrade) or duration of circulatory arrest more often lead to postoperative complications, namely neurological lesions. \u0000On the other hand, the small number of observations does not make it possible to fully assess the impact of each of the techniques.

We examined 130 patients with hypercholesterolemia and comorbid pathology (type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, obesity grade II-III).

Direct correlations between lipid profile and comorbid pathology characteristics were revealed. Patients of the subgroups with “possible” FH had higher atherogenicity of the lipid profile associated with comorbid pathology destabilization and high percentage of atherosclerosis of carotid and coronary arteries. According to the results of the follow-up, it was established that statin therapy and comorbid pathology compensation led to the achievement of target levels of LDL (group 3) or a reduction of LDL by 50% (group 1, 2).

The cohort of patients defined as having “possible” FH is heterogeneous and may include patients with secondary dyslipidemia on the background of comorbid pathology destabilization, timely verification and treatment of which contributes to achieving the goals of lipid-lowering therapy. Taking into account that only obese patients reached the target level of LDL <1.8 mmol/l, combined lipid-lowering therapy is recommended for patients with hypothyroidism and diabetes.

To evaluate the IMT as an integrative biomarker of the occurrence of cardiovascular pathology in women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in their advanced reproductive age and in perimenopausal age. \u0000Materials and methods. We studied 51 women at the age of 48-55 years with the history of severe preeclampsia. The women were asked to fill out a questionnaire in which they indicated the presence of a diagnosis of hypertension, angina pectoris at the time of filling the questionnaire. The diagnosis of hypertension and angina attacks as well as other descriptions of the disease were taken away from the results of the women’s questionnaire. The investigators were not given copies of medical records. The control group consisted of 20 women aged 48-55 who had no history of preeclampsia or any other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Ultrasound imaging of the carotid arteries was performed according to the recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography 2020 in women of both groups using SonoAce-8000 Ex scanner (Medison, South Korea) with a linear sensor UST5524 with a frequency of 7 MHz.

Thrombosis spread from tibial to popliteal, femoral, iliac veins with venous collateral thrombosis up to the level of the left renal vein. \u0000The patient received enoxaparin at a dose of 1 mg per kg of body weight twice a day for 7 days with subsequent transition to warfarin under the control of international normalized ratio. Warfarin was prescribed from a starting dose of 5 mg with subsequent control of international normalized ratio in the range of 2.0-3.0. Venotonic and anti-inflammatory drugs were also prescribed. In combination with drug therapy, class 2 elastic compression stockings were recommended. \u0000After the treatment, the patient’s condition improved, swelling and cyanosis of both lower extremities regressed. Repeated duplex scanning at the discharge of the patient from the hospital after 7 days showed signs of initial recanalization of the affected venous segments and no progression of thrombosis. \u0000Conclusions. Thus, this clinical case showed that the use of anticoagulant therapy allows to obtain satisfactory results in the treatment of patients with congenital anomalies of the development of IVC, to avoid the development of pulmonary embolism and other life-threatening conditions. At the same time, such patients need regular follow-up examinations in order to adjust the treatment and prevent the development of IVC syndrome.","PeriodicalId":33680,"journal":{"name":"Ukrayins''kii zhurnal sertsevosudinnoyi khirurgiyi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45114036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
