RESUMO
Background: The debate on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) has been constant over time. Objective: To investigate the clinical and procedural characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes of PCI of unprotected LMCA. Material and methods: Observational study which included patients with unprotected LMCA disease undergoing PCI; patients with cardiogenic shock prior to the procedure were excluded. We describe the clinical and angiographic characteristics, as well as the major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) according to the year of the procedure. Results: We included 73 patients, with a SYNTAX I score of 31.2 ± 9.1, mostly with ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (35%). There was a higher frequency of triple vessel coronary disease (63%) and distal LMCA lesions (35%). The provisional stent technique was the most used for distal lesions (58%) and the 2-stent technique for bifurcation lesions (78%), supported by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in 38%. During follow-up, 19 presented MACCE (26%), out of which cardiac death occurred in 13%, non-cardiovascular death in 5%, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction in 1%, cerebrovascular event in 2%, and revascularization of the treated vessel in 4%. Conclusions: It was observed a similar frequency to the one appearing in other studies of cardiovascular events, mainly in patients with intermediate risk, which supports the increasing use of percutaneous intervention in this population.
Introducción: el debate sobre la intervención coronaria percutánea (ICP) del tronco coronario izquierdo (TCI) no protegido ha sido constante a lo largo del tiempo. Objetivo: investigar las características clínicas, de procedimiento y los desenlaces cardiovasculares de la ICP del TCI no protegido. Material y métodos: estudio observacional que incluyó pacientes con enfermedad del TCI no protegido sometidos a ICP; se excluyeron pacientes con choque cardiogénico previo al procedimiento. Describimos las características clínicas y angiográficas, así como los eventos adversos cardiovasculares y cerebrales mayores (MACCE) según el año del procedimiento. Resultados: incluimos 73 pacientes, con puntuación de SYNTAX I de 31.2 ± 9.1, mayormente con síndrome coronario agudo con elevación del ST (35%). Hubo mayor frecuencia de enfermedad coronaria trivascular (63%) y lesión distal del TCI (35%). La técnica de stent provisional fue la más usada para lesiones distales (58%) y la técnica de 2 stents para las lesiones en bifurcación (78%), con apoyo del ultrasonido intravascular (IVUS) en el 38%. En el seguimiento se presentaron 19 MACCE (26%), de los cuales la muerte de causa cardiaca se presentó en el 13%, muerte no cardiovascular en 5%, infarto agudo al miocardio no fatal en 1%, evento vascular cerebral en 2% y nueva revascularización del vaso tratado en 4%. Conclusiones: se observó una frecuencia similar a la de otros estudios de eventos cardiovasculares, especialmente en pacientes con riesgo intermedio, lo cual apoya el uso creciente de la intervención percutánea en esta población.

Objectives: To identify predictors of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) requirement as a revascularization method in in real-world non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients. Materials and methods: . An individual pre-specified analysis of patients with NSTE-ACS was performed from two prospective Argentine registries between 2017 and 2022. We analyzed the difference in baseline characteristics between patients who required CABG and those who did not require this intervention. Then, a logistic regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors in patients who received CABG as a method of revascularization. Results: A total of 1848 patients with a median age of 54.8 (interquartile range [IQR]: 53.7-56) years and an ejection fraction of 42.1% (IQR: 41.2-43.1) were included. A total of 233 patients required CABG (12.6%). Baseline characteristics between the two groups were similar, except in patients requiring CABG, who were younger (51.5 vs. 55.7 years; p=0.010), more frequently diabetic (38.2% vs. 25.7%; p=0.001) and male (90.1% vs. 73.7%; p=0.001). In addition, they had, to a lesser extent, previous cardiac surgery (2.1% vs. 11.2%; p=0.011). After multivariable analysis, the following were independently associated with CABG: age (Odds Ratio [OR]: 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.98-0.99; p=0.008), male sex (OR: 3.08, 95% CI: 1.87-5.1; p=0.001), history of previous CABG (OR: 0.14, 95% CI: 0.05-0.30; p=0.001) and diabetes (OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.31- 2.57; p=0.001). Conclusions: In this analysis of two NSTEACS registries, younger age, male sex, a diagnosis of diabetes and the absence of previous surgery were independent predictors of the requirement for inpatient CABG.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: To identify pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions adopted for pain relief in the postoperative period of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. DESIGN: Integrative review. METHODS: Studies published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese from January 2010 to December 2019 in Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Science, PubMed, and Web of Science. Two hundred studies were identified and eleven were included. Methodological analysis was performed using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument. FINDINGS: The studies found were organized into three thematic categories: pharmacological interventions (methadone, morphine, lidocaine gel, remifentanil, sufentanil, and nefopam), nonpharmacological interventions (low-level laser therapy, light-emitting diode, Class IV laser, and transcutaneous nerve stimulation) and anesthetic techniques (dexmedetomidine, ultrasound-guided pectoral nerve block, high thoracic epidural analgesia, and perioperative parasternal block with levobupivacaine). CONCLUSIONS: A greater tendency to use drug strategies for postoperative pain relief was identified. The drugs used demonstrated efficacy and safety in the treatment of pain, with the exception of nefopam, which showed little benefit in this population. Nonpharmacological interventions, used as adjuvants to drug treatment, were shown to be safe, effective, and well tolerated by the patients.

Resumo Fundamento: A identificação de fatores de riscos na cirurgia cardiovascular auxilia na previsibilidade resultando na otimização de desfechos e redução de custos. Objetivo: Identificação dos preditores de risco pré e intraoperatórios para internação prolongada após cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio (CRM) no Estado de São Paulo. Métodos: Análise transversal no banco de dados REPLICCAR II, registro prospectivo, consecutivo, multicêntrico que incluiu cirurgias de revascularização miocárdica realizadas entre agosto de 2017 e julho de 2019. O desfecho principal foi o tempo de internação prolongado, definida como período de pós-operatório superior a 14 (quatorze) dias. Para a identificação dos preditores foram realizadas análises de regressão logística uni- e multivariada. Os valores de p menores de 0,05 foram considerados significativos. Resultados: A mediana de idade foi de 63 (57-70) anos e 26,55% eram do sexo feminino. Dos 3703 pacientes analisados, 228 (6,16%) apresentaram longa permanência hospitalar (LPH) após a CRM e a mediana da internação foi de 17 (16-20) dias. Foram preditores da LPH após a CRM: idade >60 anos (OR 2,05; IC95% 1,43 - 2,87; p<0,001); insuficiência renal (OR 1,73; IC95% 1,29 - 2,32; p<0,001) e transfusão de hemácias no intraoperatório (OR 1,32; IC 1,07 - 2,06; p=0,01). Conclusão: Nesta análise, a idade > 60 anos, insuficiência renal e a transfusão de hemácias no intraoperatório foram preditores independentes de LPH após a CRM. A identificação destas variáveis pode ajudar no planejamento estratégico multiprofissional visando melhoria de resultados e otimização de recursos no estado de São Paulo.
Abstract Background: Identifying risk factors in cardiovascular surgery assists in predictability, resulting in optimization of outcomes and cost reduction. Objective: This study aimed to identify preoperative and intraoperative risk predictors for prolonged hospitalization after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis using data from the REPLICCAR II database, a prospective, consecutive, multicenter registry that included CABG surgeries performed between August 2017 and July 2019. The primary outcome was a prolonged hospital stay (PHS), defined as a postoperative period exceeding 14 days. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the predictors with significance set at p <0.05. Results: The median age was 63 (57-70) years and 26.55% of patients were female. Among the 3703 patients analyzed, 228 (6.16%) had a PHS after CABG, with a median hospital stay of 17 (16-20) days. Predictors of PHS after CABG included age >60 years (OR 2.05; 95% CI 1.43-2.87; p<0.001); renal failure (OR 1.73; 95% CI 1.29-2.32; p <0.001) and intraoperative red blood cell transfusion (OR 1.32; 95% CI 1.07-2.06; p=0.01). Conclusion: Age >60 years, renal failure, and intraoperative red blood cell transfusion were independent predictors of PHS after CABG. The identification of these variables can help in multiprofessional strategic planning aimed to enhance results and resource utilization in the state of São Paulo.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the learning needs and the orientations received by patients in the preoperative period of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). Method: Descriptive study, with a qualitative approach. Data collection took place from January to April 2021, through interviews carried out with 13 pre-operative patients admitted to the cardiovascular unit of a university hospital in Northeastern Brazil. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the content of the interviews was processed in the software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires. Next, an analysis of textual and similarity classes was carried out. Results: The learning needs that were analyzed were divided in five classes: events that precede the surgery in the hospital; instructions received about the surgery; sites and recovery time after surgery; general questions about the surgery and content for the educational resource. Patients reported needs related to the process of disease, surgical procedures, and care before and after surgery. With regard to orientation, 53.85% reported not having received any. Final considerations: The study identified that patients seldom received orientation. They need education on topics related to the process of the illness, the heart, surgical procedures, exams, care environments, risks, benefits, results, and changes in lifestyle to maintain health and quality of life.

RESUMO
La cirugía de revascularización coronaria (CABG) es el estándar de tratamiento para la revascularización de la enfermedad de la arteria coronaria izquierda y/o de tres vasos. La cirugía coronaria sin bomba (OPCAB) evita el uso de derivación cardiopulmonar y puede mejorar los resultados a largo plazo al reducir las tasas de lesión miocárdica perioperatoria, accidente cerebrovascular (ACV), deterioro neurocognitivo y mortalidad de causa cardiaca. En la actualidad, se han llevado a cabo diversos ensayos clínicos desde la popularización del OPCAB en la década de los 90. Sin embargo, hasta el momento no se ha demostrado ningún beneficio del OPCAB en comparación con la cirugía tradicional a pesar de las reducciones favorables a corto plazo en los requerimientos de transfusión y otras complicaciones postoperatorias. Además, OPCAB se asocia con una revascularización miocárdica menos eficaz y no previene por completo las complicaciones tradicionalmente asociadas con la circulación extracorpórea (CEC). Este artículo revisa la evidencia actual de OPCAB en comparación con CABG tradicional en cuanto a los resultados clínicos a corto y largo plazo. Se analizan los resultados de la cirugía coronaria sin circulación extracorpórea (CEC) , comparándola con la cirugía convencional (con CEC). La revascularización coronaria sin CEC presenta resultados similares a la convencional, siempre que se cumplan determinadas condiciones en la selección de los pacientes. Una de ellas, muy importante, es la mayor experiencia del cirujano con el procedimiento.
The results of coronary artery revascularization performed without extracorporeal circulation (off pump) are compared to those of the traditional ("on pump") procedure. Compliance with selective conditions are required to obtain similar results. The most important being the experience of the surgeon performing the off pump procedure.

Introducción: el síndrome cardiorrenal es una patología dada por la disfunción en la interdependencia de estos órganos por interacciones bidireccionales (agudas o crónicas), los cuales pueden afectar indistintamente la función renal o ventricular. Objetivo: presentar y justificar la enfermedad renal crónica como desencadenante de cuadros congestivos por falla cardiaca de novo. Presentación del caso: se reporta el caso de un paciente masculino de 69 años revascularizado percutáneamente hace tres años con múltiples comorbilidades que ingresa en el contexto de una falla cardiaca de novo, secundaria a su enfermedad renal crónica estadio V de base, en manejo con hemodiálisis y en quien se descartó enfermedad coronaria aguda y miocardiopatía infiltrativa. Se logró estabilizar la injuria renal y cardiaca dando egreso y continuando manejo ambulatorio de sus patologías, al llevar un control adecuado de las mismas con Nefrología y Cardiología. Discusión y conclusión: la enfermedad cardiovascular generada por antecedentes renales tiene una gran repercusión en la función ventricular izquierda, causando hipertrofia, lo que lleva a una congestión con posterior sobrecarga debido a la caída del filtrado glomerular y que resulta en la disminución de la fracción de eyección. La enfermedad renal crónica predispone a alteraciones en la función cardiaca, lo que aumenta el riesgo cardiovascular.
Background: Cardiorenal syndrome is a pathology caused by dysfunction in the interdependence of these organs due to bidirectional interactions (acute or chronic), which can affect either renal or ventricular function. Purpose: To present and justify chronic kidney disease as a trigger of congestive conditions due to de novo heart failure. Case presentation: We report the case of a 69-year-old male patient percutaneously revascularized 3 years ago with multiple comorbidities who was admitted in the context of de novo heart failure secondary to his stage V chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis, in whom acute coronary artery disease and infiltrative cardiomyopathy were ruled out. The renal and cardiac injury was stabilized and the patient was discharged and continued outpatient management of his pathologies with adequate control of the same with nephrology and cardiology. Discussion and conclusion: Cardiovascular disease generated by renal history has great repercussion in left ventricular function causing hypertrophy that leads to congestion with subsequent overload due to the fall of glomerular filtration resulting in a decrease of the ejection fraction. Chronic kidney disease predisposes to alterations in cardiac function increasing cardiovascular risk.
