Alternative to CV Su

Harry Hoerr; Alternative Approaches to Cardiac Surgery

QuestionAnswer
What is the average life expectancy in the US? 77.3 years
If you were to eleminate all forms of CV disease how much would life expectancy increase? CV disease-7 yearsCancer-3 years
How many congenital CV defects in 1000 births? 9.0 defects per 1000 births
What is the most common Congential CV defect? 1.VSD 2.ToF 3.Transposition of great arteries 4.Coarctation of aorta 5.ASD
What CV procedure cost the most? 1.Heart Valves ($85,187) 2.CABG ($60,853)
in 1929 he had the first documented human cardiac catheterization? Dr. Werner Forssmann
Who Employed cardiac catheter as diagnostic tool for the first time? 1941 Cournand & Richards
Who developed the concept of the diagnostic coronary angiogram? Mason Sones
Who performed the first saphenous vein graft surgery in Cleveland? 1967 Dr. Rene Favaloro
Who performed the first peripheral human balloon angioplasty? 1974 Andreas Gruentzig(first cath lab PTCA of awake patient)
Fist use of stents in humans (1986) Puel & Siwart
What is a PTCA? Percutaneous translumonal coronary angioplasty: Balloon advanced to blockage and inflated. Plaque pushed against vessel wall. Small crakcs created w/ plaque an artery stretched.
What is the criteria for coronary angioplasty? -BAlloon can be passed through the blockage. -Blockage can be reached by catheter. -Blocked vessel is NOT the left main. -Patient is not in heart failure. -Patient is having a heart attack w/in 2 to 6 hours of onset.
What are som advantages of coronary angioplasty? -Less invasive than bypass surgery. -Low Risk. -Low Cost. -LA versus general. -Percutaneous incision. -Patient able to return to normal activity shortly after procedure.
What are some risks and complications of coronary angioplasty? -Bleeding from insertion site. -Damage to the insertion artery or coronary artery by catheter. -Restenosis. -Sudden vessel closure. -Stents may cause clot formation. -Infection. -Allergic to dye. -MI. -Death. -Stroke. (need for emergent Bypass)
What are the restenosis rates of PTCA? 10% to 40% during first six months
What are the restenosis rates of bare metal stents? 30% - 50% during first six months
What are the restenosis rates of drug eluting stents? 7% to 15% during first six months
What are some things you must think about when placing a stent? -Stent must cover the complete lenght of blockage. -Stent must be fully expanded so there are no gaps between the surface of the plaque and the stent.
What kind of drug is used in Boston Scientific Stents? Chemotherapeutic Drug
What do Johnson & Johnson use in the stents? Immunosuppressive agent
What may atherectomy work best on? Complex Lesions; -heavily calified/fibrotic/undilatable lesion. -Ostial & branch-ostial lesions. -Chronic total occlusions. -in-stent restenosis
What are the different types of atherectomy devices? -Directional. -Rotational. -Transluminal extraction.
What is directional Atherectomy and what are its RPM? -PErcutaneous over-the-wire cutting and retrieval system. -Cuttin window placed toward the plaque-balloon inflated pushing plaque into cutting cup. -2,000 RPMs
What is rotational atherectomy and what are its RPMs? -Elliptical-shapes brass burr coated with 5-10 micron diamond chips. Saline flush solution infused into the plastic sheath around the drive shaft to minimize frictional heat. -Burr ablates and pulverizes inelastic plaque tissue. 140-190,000 RPMs
What is transluminal extraction atherectomy and what are its RPMs -Percutaneous over-the-wire cutting and aspiration system. -Head with two stainless blades. -Lactated Ringers solution flushed into area creates particulate slurry that is suctioned back through the catheter. -750 RPMs
What is transluminal angiogenesis? -May be best for patient who are not canidates for angioplasty or surgery. -Guide laser into LV (burn small channels directly into the myocardial wall). -May promote growth of small new blood vessels.
What are some surgical techniques for CABGs? -CPB. -Without bypass. -Assisted perfusion. -Minimal CABG w/ CPB. -Robotically
