Surgical treatment of coronary heart disease was introduced into clinical practice more than 50 years ago. Only one intervention – the use of left internal thoracic artery for bypass grafting of the anterior interventricular artery – Kolovos’s operation– remains practically unchangeable version of execution as a standard for coronary artery bypass grafting. This review summarizes the half-century use of internal thoracic arteries, autoveins, radiate arteries as conduits for coronary arteries on the basis of the randomized studies and meta-analyzes published by 2018.

AbstractAn anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital heart disease. Among the variants, an anomalous origin of the left anterior descending coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALADPA) is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of ALADPA in an adult that was treated with coronary artery bypass grafting using the left internal thoracic artery.

Aim. To elucidate independent predictors of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events in patients with chronic heart disease (CHD) after surgical myocardial revascularization during a long-term prospective observation. Subjects and methods. The study enrolled 120 patients with CHD who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting with extracorporeal circulation. Further 2-5-year follow-ups recorded deaths from cardiac causes, including sudden deaths, as well as the incidence of nonfatal cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke). Results. The mean follow-up time was 36±5 months. During the follow-ups, there were 12 deaths: 1 and 8 deaths from pneumonia and myocardial infarction, respectively; 3 patients died suddenly. Out of the nonfatal events, myocardial infarction and stroke were recorded in 7 and 2 cases, respectively. Stepwise regression analysis showed that the independent predictors of fatal cardiac events were as follows: 1) an ejection fraction of less than 40% (relative risk 5.7 with deviations within 95% confidence interval, 1,2–10,7); 2) age of 70 years or older (4,9; 1,4–8,4); 3) diabetes mellitus (2,3; 1,1–3,7); 4) left ventricular aneurysm (2,1; 1,04–3,8); 5) mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours (2,0; 1,2–2,9); 6) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (1,9; 1,1–3,1). The independent predictors of all cases of both fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events were: 1) age of 70 years or older (4,1; 1,2–8,1); 2) an ejection fraction of less than 40% (3,7; 1,1–6,5); 3) endarterectomy during coronary artery bypass grafting (2,9; 1,1–5,4); 4) mechanical ventilation for more than 100 minutes (2,2; 1,2–3,9); damage to the brachiocephalic artery area (2,1; 1,1–6,4), prior stroke (1,8; 1,1–3,8). Conclusion. The conducted study indicated the implication of both the poor traditional predictors of CHD and comorbidity, as well as the specific features of surgical intervention and anesthetic maintenance in the development of further fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events in patients with CHD after surgical myocardial revascularization.

AbstractCoronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. The most advanced forms of CAD are usually treated by means of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The selection of the appropriate vessels as aortocoronary conduits is of paramount importance. The internal thoracic artery (ITA) or the great saphenous vein (SV) are often harvested. Furthermore, epigenetic processes have been recently associated with atherosclerosis, hypertension, and heart failure, and post-translational histone processes may play a key role in understanding the genetic predisposition of vessels to vascular diseases.In the experiment performed, the transcript levels of JHDM1D, PHF8, and HDAC 1-3 in SV and ITA used for CABG procedures with RT-qPCR were examined. Total RNA was isolated by the method of Chomczyński and Sachi. RNA samples were reverse transcribed into cDNA using a commercial kit. The determination of the level of the transcripts of the mentioned genes was performed using the Light Cycler® 96 Real-Time PCR kit. Our analyzes confirmed that the studied genes related to post-translational modifications of histones are expressed in SV and ITA. In the saphenous vein, the expression of each of the individual genes was higher. The most considerable difference in transcript levels was recorded for HDAC1 and the smallest difference in expression for HDAC2.Our research suggests that more processes related to histone demethylation and acetylation occur in the saphenous vein, which may affect the selection of a vessel for CABG, but this research requires more research and additional analysis.Running title: Histone regulating gene expression in common coronary artery bypass graft vessels

Abstract. Introduction. Coronary heart disease, the complexity of the surgery conducted, inflammatory reaction to extracorporeal circulation and the need for perioperative anticoagulation influence perioperative state of hemodynamics during the surgical revascularization of a myocardium in patients with coronary heart disease. The aim. To improve the results of treatment of cardiac surgery patients with heart failure who underwent surgery, namely, coronary artery bypass grafting using extracorporeal circulation by improving methods of diagnosing heart failure. Materials and methods. 100 cardiac surgery patients with coronary heart disease were operated on at State Institution of Science “Research and Practical Center of Preventive and Clinical Medicine” State Administrative Department. In all the cases, coronary artery bypass grafting was performed using artificial circulation. In patients of group 1 (40 patients) in the postoperative period, the correction of hemodynamic disorders was performed according to the standard protocol. In group 2 (60 patients) - a differentiated approach to the correction of hemodynamic disorders was used. Results. It was found that in group 2 for stabilization of hemodynamics, oxygen status, microcirculation, smaller doses of sympathomimetics and shorter duration of their use, P <0.05 than in 1 were applied. Conclusions. The results of the studies indicate the possibility of using the method of phasography, in particular, the analysis of symmetry of the T wave, as a marker of ischemic changes in the myocardium in cardiac patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting using artificial circulation. The obtained data show that the developed algorithm of perioperative management of cardiac surgery patients with heart failure makes it possible to significantly accelerate the rehabilitation of cardiac surgery patients, increase patient comfort and reduce the length of their hospitalization. The possibility of using phasography for monitoring of myocardial condition in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery has been investigated.
