Percutaneous Cardiac Intervention

AbstractBackgroundPostconditioning by brief episodes of ischaemia performed just at the time of reperfusion have been shown to reduce the size of infarcts in animal models, and in the clinical setting of percutaneous cardiac intervention. The clinical applicability of postconditioning in cardiac surgery remains to be determined. We investigated the effect of postconditioning on myocardial protection in children undergoing cardiac surgery.MethodsWe randomly assigned 40 patients scheduled for surgical correction of congenitally malformed hearts under cold blood cardioplegic arrest to postconditioning or control treatment. Postconditioning was performed by two cycles of 30 seconds ischaemia and 30 seconds reperfusion using aortic reclamping, and declamping started 30 seconds after cardioplegic arrest. We assayed creatine kinase-MB, troponin I, transcardiac release of lactate and neutrophil counts.ResultsThe types of procedure, age, bypass and aortic cross-clamping times were similar in both groups. The postoperative peaks of creatine kinase-MB and troponin I were lower after aortic de-clamping in the postconditioned patients compared with their controls (128 ± 48 units per liter as opposed to 199 ± 79 units per liter, p = 0.016, and 0.34 ± 0.21 nanograms per milliliter as opposed to 0.61 ± 0.53 nanograms per milliliter, p = 0.05), with reduced inotropic scores in those submitted to postconditioning compared with their controls (4.8 ± 3.1 versus 2.3 ± 1.5, p = 0.036). Transcardiac release of lactate was reduced in the postconditioned patients compared with their controls (0.10 ± 0.27 as opposed to 0.37 ± 0.43 millimols per liter, p = 0.048). No differences between groups were found for transcardiac neutrophil count during reperfusion (10.8 ± 6.3% for postconditioning versus 14.0 ± 8.7% for controls, p = 0.48).ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that postconditioning may protect the myocardium of children undergoing cold blood cardioplegic arrest. These data support the need for a larger clinical trial of postconditiong in children undergoing cardiac surgery.

Diagnostic Coronary Angiography

Abstract Aim: To evaluate patient radiation exposure for Diagnostic Coronary Angiography (DCA) and Percutaneous Cardiac Intervention (PCI) performed by different operators. Methods and Results: Retrospective (n = 160) and prospective (n = 62) data for DCA (n = 179) and PCI (n = 43) examinations performed by interventional cardiologists (n = 3) using the same imaging equipment were reviewed. The operator with consistently low diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) was interviewed for their personal perceptions upon operator training. Retrospective Median [IQR] DAP was 18.8 [11.8–31.6] and 50.7 [35.3–85.6] Gy.cm2 for DCA and PCI, respectively. Prospective Median [IQR] DAP for DCA and PCI was 7.9 [5.2–10.6] and 15.9 [10.0–17.7] Gy.cm2, respectively. DRLs were within Irish and European DRLs; however, significant inter-operator variability (p < .001) was identified. Conclusion: Radiation exposure in Interventional cardiology is highly operator dependent; further research is warranted in standardization of operator training with evolving technologies.
