Objective – to determine the effectiveness of endovascular revascularization of the carotid pool (carotid stenting) in patients with combined atherosclerotic lesions of the cerebral and coronary arteries, which showed coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Materials and methods. 40 patients with combined atherosclerotic lesions of the cerebral and coronary arteries were included in the study. All patients for 14 days before CABG were stented carotid artery. The number of complications and the treatments results were determined. Survival functions were determined to evaluate long-term treatment outcomes over a 10-year follow-up period. Results. 32.5 % of patients had complications after carotid pool revascularization: angina pectoris – 12.5 %, acute myocardial infarction – 2.5 %, transient ischemic attack – 12.5 %, ischemic stroke – 2.5 %, arterial hypotension – 2.5 %. 98.2 % of patients observed positive results of treatment for neurological status. After revascularization of the coronary pool, 45 % of patients had complications: angina – 27.5 %, cardiac arrhythmia – 27.5 %, acute myocardial infarction – 2.5 %, transient ischemic attack – 7.5 %, ischemic stroke – 7.5 %. 83.5 % of patients received positive results of treatment. The 10-year survival rate after surgery was 19 % [34 %; 7 %]. Decrease in survival function was observed uniformly throughout the observation period: 3-year survival – 83 % [92 %; 67 %], 5-year survival – 56 % [70 %; 39 %].Conclusions. Positive results of treatment in patients with combined atherosclerotic lesions of the cerebral and coronary arteries, which performed stenting of the carotid arteries before CABG, are observed in 98.5 % of patients. Carotid artery stenting before CABG is an effective method of preventing cerebral complications in the early postoperative and distant periods. Long-term results of treatment are accompanied by low rates of 5-year and 10-year survival after revascularization of the carotid and coronary pools.

Abstract. Ventricular Septal Rupture (VSR) is a serious complication of acute myocardial infarction. This incidence continues to decline with the thrombolytic and PCI era, but the mortality rate is still high. VSR occurs most frequently after anterior AMI. VSR can occur in the apical, mid or basal of the septum. The most common location is in the apical portion of the septum. The timing of VSR closure surgery depends on the state of the patient's hemodynamic and VSR diameter. Various studies have suggested that VSR closure concomitant with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) provide a better outcome.

Introduction: We analyzed the national Veteran Affairs (VA) data to evaluate the association of preoperative glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) and long-term outcome after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: Between January 2007 - December 2014, Veterans with diabetes mellitus (DM) that underwent isolated CABG were divided on into three groups (I: HbA1c < 8%, II: HbA1c 8 - 10% and III: HbA1c > 10%). Demographic and clinical differences between groups were evaluated with the t-test or chi-square test. The relationship of preoperative HbA1c and long-term survival was evaluated with a multivariable proportional hazards model; restricted cubic splines were used to model non-linear effects. The cumulative incidence of secondary end-points (myocardial infarction, urgent revascularization) for each group was modeled as a competing-risk analysis. Results: Overall, 3,210 patients (mean age 64.6 years, male 98.8%; insulin dependent - 53%) with DM underwent isolated CABG. Group III patients were younger (61 vs 65 years in group I). Median HbA1c levels were similar between races (white - 7.3% and blacks - 7.35%). Insulin dependence was higher in group III (79.3%) vs groups I (43.5%) and II (69.9%). In groups I,II and III, 5 and 10 year survival was 76.2%, 74.4%, 75.4% and 38.9%, 36.9% and 30.2% respectively. HbA1c was observed to have a J-shaped association with mortality with values < 6% and > 9% at higher risk of death. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction [HR 1.5 (1.3 - 1.7)], prior myocardial infarction [HR 1.3 (1.2 - 1.5)] and insulin dependence [HR 1.4 (1.2 - 1.5)] were also associated with lower survival. Myocardial infarction was observed in 9.8% , 13.4% and 12.8% patients in groups I, II and III respectively. Conclusions: Pre-operative HbA1c impacts long-term survival among diabetic patients undergoing CABG. We observed a J-shaped relationship between HbA1c and survival with values < 6% and > 9% associated with increased mortality.
