Abstract Background Renal impairment is a common complication after CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) surgery associated with an adverse outcome. Purpose To further characterize the molecular framework of the disease through omics analyses. Methods In N=165 CABG patients we performed multi-omics-analyses in preoperatively collected blood and tissue samples as well as 991 creatinine measurements. We used multivariable mixed-model regression analyses to analyse post-operative creatinine increase and to find common genetic polymorphisms, transcripts, metabolites and/or proteins associated with changes in postoperative creatinine increase. Multiple testing was accounted for by setting a 5%-limit on the false discovery rate (FDR) using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. Results Post-operative increase of log transformed creatinine was 0.035 (8%); 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.025, 0.045; P<0.001. We identified 55 gene expressions and two proteins associated with post-CABG renal impairment. On the metabolomic and single nucleotide point mutation (SNP) level, no relevant targets were found. The three most important identified gene expressions were MIR3202.1 (beta of log transformed creatinine increase per standard deviation gene expression increase −0.034; 95% CI: −0.048, 0.020; P<0.001), LOC105374386 (−0.032; 95% CI: −0.046, 0.019; P<0.001) and maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) (−0.022; 95% CI: −0.032, 0.013; P<0.001). Expression of all three was associated with a lower risk of post-CABG renal impairment. The same applies to the identified protein CAPRIN2 (−0.042; 95% CI: −0.062, 0.022; P<0.001), while expression of the protein TUBB6 was associated with a higher risk (0.033; 95% CI: 0.017, 0.048; P<0.001). Conclusions In an integrated approach we identified omics-biomarkers for the prediction of renal impairment after CABG surgery. The underlying pathophysiological associations of these genes and proteins are not fully understood. MELK might be an interesting target for further investigations, as it plays a prominent role in cell cycle control, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell migration and cell renewal. Our results may help to better identify individuals at risk and lay the methodological groundwork for further omics analyses. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

SummaryPatients undergoing surgery for coronary artery bypass graft or heart valve replacement had their platelet count and mean volume measured pre-operatively, immediately post-operatively and serially for up to 48 days after the surgical procedure. The mean pre-operative platelet count of 1.95 ± 0.11 × 1011/1 (n = 26) fell significantly to 1.35 ± 0.09 × 1011/1 immediately post-operatively (p <0.001) (n = 22), without a significant alteration in the mean platelet volume. The average platelet count rose to a maximum of 5.07 ± 0.66 × 1011/1 between days 14 and 17 after surgery while the average mean platelet volume fell from preparative and post-operative values of 7.25 ± 0.14 and 7.20 ± 0.14 fl respectively to a minimum of 6.16 ± 0.16 fl by day 20. Seven patients were followed for 32 days or longer after the operation. By this time they had achieved steady state thrombopoiesis and their average platelet count was 2.44 ± 0.33 × 1011/1, significantly higher than the pre-operative value (p <0.05), while their average mean platelet volume was 6.63 ± 0.21 fl, significantly lower than before surgery (p <0.001). The pre-operative values for the platelet volume and counts of these patients were significantly different from a control group of 32 young males, while the chronic post-operative values were not. These long term changes in platelet volume and count may reflect changes in the thrombopoietic control system secondary to the corrective surgery.

Objective: Invasive, selective coronary angiography is the gold standard for evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) and degree of stenosis. The purpose of this study was to compare 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructed 16-slice multislice computed tomographic (MSCT) angiography and selective coronary angiography in patients before elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure. Methods: Sixteen-slice MSCT scans (Philips Mx8000 IDT) were performed in 50 patients (42 male/8 female; mean age, 64.44 8.66 years) scheduled for elective CABG procedure. Scans were retrospectively electrocardiogram-gated 3D reconstructed. The images of the coronary arteries were evaluated for stenosis by 2 independent radiologists. The results were compared with the coronary angiography findings using the American Heart Association segmental classification for coronary arteries. Results: Four patients (8%) were excluded for technical reasons. Thirty-eight patients (82.6%) had 3-vessel disease, 4 (8.7 %) had 2-vessel disease, and 4 (8.7%) had an isolated left anterior descending artery stenosis. In the proximal segments all stenoses >50% (56/56) were detected by MSCT; medial segment sensitivity was 97% (73/75), specificity 90.3%; distal segment sensitivity was 90.7% (59/65), specificity 77%. Conclusion: Accurate quantification of coronary stenosis greater than 50% in the proximal and medial segments is possible with high sensitivity and specificity using the new generation of 16-slice MSCTs. There is still a tendency to overestimate stenosis in the distal segments. MSCT seems to be an excellent diagnostic tool for screening patients with possible CAD.

Objectives: The radial artery (RA) is increasingly being used as a coronary bypass graft. Results of a previous study using Doppler ultrasound and histopathologic examinations indicated that the RA has a higher incidence of preexisting intimal hyperplasia, medial calcification, and atherosclerosis than the internal thoracic artery. The aims of this study were to evaluate the use of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) to display hand collateral circulation, to define the criteria for an abnormal CTA test result, and to demonstrate usefulness of CTA as an alternative to conventional angiography for evaluation of the radial artery. Materials and Methods: Sixteen patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting entered this study. We performed 32 examinations of forearm and hand arterial anatomy in these patients. CTA was performed in patients with a normal Allen test result, except 1 patient who had a persistent median artery. Soft tissue density forehand roentgenography was performed in all patients before the CTA evaluation. There was no selection of patients in relation to patient characteristics. As a risk factor for radial artery calcification, 6 of the patients had diabetes mellitus, 6 had aortofemoral occlusive disease, and 4 had a history of smoking. Results: Bilateral forearm arteries were visualized in all patients. Severe RA calcification was found in 1 patient, and distal occlusion was found in another patient. Focal RA calcification was noted in 2 patients. In the remaining patients no radial artery calcification or occlusion was noted. Anatomic variation of the upper limb arteries was shown in 2 patients; these variations were persistent median artery with absence of the radial and ulnar arteries and high bifurcation of the radial artery from the brachial artery. Conclusion: CTA is useful and safe for detection of radial artery calcific disease and assessment of the forehand circulation and its anatomic variations. Preoperative imaging of the RA is a means to avoid unnecessary forearm exploration or inadvertent use of a diseased conduit in coronary artery bypass candidates with multiple risk factors such as diabetes mellitus.

The importance of minimally invasive cardiac operations, performed off-pump, without the support of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), is continuously increasing. Complete revascularization of obstructed coronary arteries is needed to obtain a better long-term outcome. Insertion into the left ventricle of an efficient microaxial pump can be useful when targeting an important coronary artery located at posterior wall of the heart in a patient with hemodynamic deficiency. The use of such a device can enable surgeons to avoid conversion from a preplanned off-pump strategy to traditional on-pump coronary bypass surgery. The Impella Microaxial Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) (Abiomed, Aachen, Germany) is a miniature pump with a 7-mm catheter and a flow rate of approximately 2.5-5 L/min. This device can enable cardiovascular surgery to be performed without damaging the left ventricle and causing serious aortic deficiency. Therefore, in patients with serious comorbidity, complete revascularization may be performed off pump, with the heart beating, because of the hemodynamic stability provided with the support of the microaxial intracardiac pump. If required, this pump can also support the heart during the early postoperative period. We report the first assisted beating-heart coronary artery bypass graft surgery performed with the Impella Microaxial VAD in our country. The surgery was performed on 2 patients considered high risk on the basis of EUROSCORE testing.
