CABG graft flow measurement

 Q mean <15 p=""> PI>3
False positives (20-69%) in flow meters
Epicardial echo might be useful to detect dissections of IMA.

False positives (20-69%) because of competition?
Dissection must be detected by flow meters.

Cut and Sew Cox-Maze III Procedure With Mexican Modification

Cut and Sew Cox-Maze III Procedure With Mexican Modification

Ovidio Garcia-Villarreal
http://www.ctsnet.org/article/cut-and-sew-cox-maze-iii-procedure-mexican-modification

This video demonstrates a Mexican modification to the traditional Maze III procedure, which was initially described by Dr. James Cox. This technique is ideal for patients with mitral valve disease and atrial fibrillation who are undergoing surgery. This modification allows the surgeon to better control the base of the left atrial appendage and the surrounding area, as well as perform the mitral valve procedure more easily. The author has performed this technique in over 50 cases.

No ablation devices.
Around mitral and tricuspid valves, he cut just muscular layer not epicardial fat in atrials by a 15 brade knife.
After counter clockwise rotation of heart, LA appendage is fully exposed and cut out from outside of LA.
Use 3-0 prolene
This patient has not fragile LA wall.

In true aneurysms, FET is better results than standard elephant trunk method.
In acute dissections, FET stabilizes the flap and true lumed expansion.
In chronic dissections, more data needed.

川添先生のコメント
ARの量をもっと見るべき。適応を厳密に。
Davidとsuture annnuloplastyは目的が違うので比べるのは意味がない
ARの原因に応じて手術術式を決めるべき

50-year-old Male with Severe MR Mild to Moderate Tricuspid Regurgitation, and Severe Annular Dilatation: Isolated MV Repair or Concommitant TV Repair

Preoperative not intraoperative cardiac echo is important because the situation is normal.
Definition of annular dilatation is difficult because it is dynamic.
We should decide to do TAP or not preoperatively not intraoperatively.
TEE transgastric view is reliable
Tips of TAP: AVB, RCA kinking

エコー
ASの最大圧較差の違う理由。エコーではpeak to peakでなく差delta値が最大となるところを取っているため、時相の違うところを比較している。当然エコー値の方が高くなる。
しかし平均圧較差値でもエコーのほうが25%程度大きくなる。エコーでは左室内と狭窄部の差を見ているのに対し、カテでは左室内と大動脈内(圧回復後)の差を見ている。
PPMの指標が厳しいのもここから来ている。

This systematic review and meta-analysis

The overall incidence of SWI after tracheostomy in patients undergoing cardiac surgery was 7.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 4-10) (Figure 1).

The proportion of SWI after percutaneous tracheostomy was 3% (95% CI, 1-8), whereas after open tracheostomy this was 9% (95% CI, 5-14) (Figure 2).

I believed that the earlier and percutaneous tracheostomy was better.

Surgeon should do mitral and aortic valve repair.
Surgery will remain in catheter era because the long-term surgical results is good and the valve disease is complex.

No touch harvesting was significantly better than conventional harvesting and also was compatible to LITA in long-term results.

Surprise!!!

In a propensity score matched retrospective analysis, LAA closure was independently associated with increased risk of early POAF and did not significantly influence the risk of stroke or long-term mortality.

LAA closure is not appropriate?
Most of patients with LAA closure would likely have preoperative Af and be performed arrhythmia surgery as well.
How about their interaction?
The subject is no arrhythmia?
We should check our data.
