Filter by:The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the association between brain changes and cognitive deficits in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and whether a low-cost thiamine intervention can be used to reduce post-CABG cognitive issues in CHD subjects.
This IMPROVE trial plans to enroll 648 patients who are diagnosed with coronary artery disease and are going to take off-pump CABG in five centers in China, to access whether RIC can and improve short-term prognosis.
To verify the effectiveness and safety of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting for complete revascularization of multivessel coronary artery disease via inferior part-sternotomy, We aim to randomize 260 patients undergoing isolated Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to compare the ratios of complete revascularization between inferior part-sternotomy CABG and full median sternotomy CABG from 9 hospitals in China.
The ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of the myocardium initiates a variety and complex sets of inflammatory reactions that may both exaggerate local injury as well as provoke injury of distant organ function . I/R injuries are the main causes of heart failure, morbidity, and mortality after cardiac surgery such as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG surgery) . The reactive oxygen species are believed to be excessively elevated during coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) due to compromised free radical scavenging mechanism in the myocardium that can make myocardium highly susceptible to oxidative stress and inflammation and result in reperfusion injury . Melatonin and its metabolites protect against inflammation by regulating several inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, melatonin is a free radical scavenger and an antioxidant agent. the current study is designed to investigate the protective effects of melatonin against myocardial I/R injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.
After cardiac surgery, there is a high prevalence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). However, its diagnostic and therapeutic management is poorly codified. This pathology is caused by atrial abnormalities which form the concept of atrial cardiomyopathy. New tools affording to itemize the atrial cardiomyopathy are needed. Indeed, current tools, as echocardiography and electrocardiogram are relevant but only lead to a raw evaluation of the atrial cardiomyopathy. MRI, because of the assessment of the atrial fibrosis by late gadolinium assessment (LGE) and 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be relevant to specify the atrial cardiomyopathy.
The ARCTIC-CABG (Aromatherapy for Cognitive Trajectory in Chinese after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting) trial is a randomized, double-blind, 2-arm, parallel group, placebo-controlled study to evaluated the effects of Aromatherapy in improving cognitive function in post-Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) patients. The study will recruit 460 patients who undergo a first-time CABG at the Department of Cardiac Surgery in Beijing Anzhen Hospital. Baseline information will be collected prior to CABG, all eligible participants undergoing CABG will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio before hospital discharge to receive aromatherapy (70% menthol and 30% propanediol) or placebo (10% menthol and 90% propanediol). The treatment will last for 6 months in both groups. Cognitive function measurement will be conducted by blinded assessors at baseline (1-3 days before CABG) and at 3- and 6-month after CABG. The primary outcome will be the change in overall cognitive function (MOCA score) from baseline to 6-month after CABG.
Respiratory dysfunction following cardiac surgery is well documented and due in part to the location of the incision and nature of the surgery. Post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs) remain a significant problem following cardiac surgery, sometimes causing prolonged length of stay in hospital as well as increased morbidity and mortality; with the greater risk to older adults and individuals with obstructive lung disease. Positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy is thought to increase lung volumes and facilitate secretion clearance. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the addition of oscillating PEP therapy to standard postoperative treatment is more effective in decreasing the incidence of PPCs and increasing functional capacity at time of discharge in 'high risk' patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery.
Although data on cardioprotective effects (as profile of troponin I)of perioperative maintenance of normothermia during CABGs are already known, little is known about the effects of maintaining normothermia on clinical outcomes of patients submitted to coronary surgery. Being acute renal failure (ARF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) the two most frequent complications of this surgery, this study compare as primary end point the rate of postoperative ARF and AF in two group of patients, one actively warmed with Thermowrap and the control group receiving standard institutional care.
