Detection of differences in operative mortality is important to allow meaningful comparisons. We evaluated the predictive ability of the additive and logistic EuroSCORE. Results The area-under-the-ROC-curves showed good discriminatory power for the additive and logistic EuroSCORE for all the groups. Cusum and VLAD analyses showed that the predicted mortality was higher than the actual mortality in the AVR and CABG group. This was not true for the mitral valve surgery group. Comparison of the additive and logistic EuroSCORE with the predicted probability showed that the logistic EuroSCORE was a better predictor of hospital mortality especially in high risk patients (Fig 1). Both additive and logistic EuroSCORES overestimated the operative risk in low risk patients. The additive EuroSCORE underestimated the risk in high risk patients. Methods Data of isolated CABG, aortic and mitral valve surgery patients from 2004 till 2008 were analyzed. The discriminatory power of the additive and logistic EuroSCORE was analyzed using ROC-curves. Comparison of observed with predicted mortality was done by cusum analyses and VLAD-curves. The predicted probability of hospital mortality was calculated using logistic regression analyses and compared with the EuroSCORE. Conclusion The additive and logistic EuroSCORE had a good discriminatory power meaning that most deceased patients had a high EuroSCORE. For low risk patients they both overestimated the mortality. In high risk patients the logistic EuroSCORE was more accurate than the additive EuroSCORE which underestimated the operative risk.

Currently, the first version of the article is being written. Methods We studied all 127 patients who received a VAD in the University Medical Centre Utrecht until July 2009. Based on available patient data, the occurrence and type of a stroke was determined. Patients without a stroke (controls) were censored at the moment of heart transplantation, VAD explantation or death. The coagulation at these moments was used for comparison. Subjects were classified according to levels of aPTT ratio and INR. The Fishers Exact test was used to detect differences in baseline characteristics and coagulation levels. Results In total, 123 patients were taken into analyses. Forty-one strokes occurred in 24 patients, leaving 99 controls. Except for preoperative cardiac index there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics. Comparing case control status with the categories of both coagulation markers at the moment of event, we found no significant association. Conclusion Ventricular assist devices (VAD) are successfully and increasingly used in patients with end stage heart failure. Despite technical improvement and experience, the high incidence of stroke remains a major concern. The optimal risk/benefit analysis of anticoagulation in these patients has yet to be determined; further prospective research should be performed to investigate the role of anticoagulation and stroke in VAD patients. 8 9 Abstracts Abstracts 10.15 uur 10.30 uur THE EFFECT OF ANTIFIBRINOLYTICS ON PLASMA CYTOKINE LEVELS IN CARDIAC SURGERY THROMBOCYTOPENIA AFTER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT: COMPARISON BETWEEN MECHANICAL AND BIOLOGICAL VALVES AFL Latera, J van Peltb, EF Bruggemansa, FPHTM Romijnb, RJM Klautza Albert HM van Straten1; Mohamed A Soliman Hamad1; NJ Verberkmoes1; Eric Berreklouw1; Joost F Ter Woorst1; Elisabeth J Martens2 and M Erwin SH Tan1 Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Universitair Medisch Centrum. a Department of Clinical Chemistry, Leids b Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, The Netherlands Department of Education and Research, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, The Netherlands & Centre of Research on Psychology in Somatic Diseases, Department of Medical Psychology, Tilburg University, The Netherlands 1 2 Purpose In the light of the recent concerns about the use of aprotinin in cardiac surgery, the clinical advantages of antifibrinolytics need to be re-evaluated, including their possible immune modulating effects. We measured the effect of tranexamic acid as well as aprotinin on the systemic inflammatory response after cardiac surgery. Methods 28 Patients scheduled for first-time, non-complex heart surgery with use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were randomised to receive either high-dose tranexamic acid, aprotinin, or 0.9% saline solution intraoperatively. 10 Additional patients receiving dexamethasone but no antifibrinolytics intraoperatively were selected for comparison of effects. Plasma levels of 12 cytokines and growth factors were assessed preoperatively, and at 6-, 12-, 24-, and 48-hours after the start of CPB, using Evidence InvestigatorTM biochip array technology. Results IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, VEGF, IFN-c, TNF-a, MCP-1, and EGF plasma concentrations significantly changed over time in all 4 treatment groups, whereas those of IL-1a and IL-1ß did not change. Both aprotinin and dexamethasone significantly lowered TNF-a plasma levels when compared with placebo to the same extent (mean difference -2.3 pg/ml, P=0.042, and -2.8 pg/ ml, P=0.009, respectively). Tranexamic acid did not significantly differ from placebo. Conclusion Aprotinin attenuates postoperative pro-inflammatory levels TNF-a to the same extent as dexamethasone, whereas tranexamic acid does not. A common anti-inflammatory effect of tranexamic acid and aprotinin through inhibition of fibrinolysis seems therefore unlikely. Purpose Some concerns about the postoperative decrease in platelet count after aortic valve replacement (AVR) have been recently raised. We retrospectively analysed the data of our patients after AVR concerning postoperative platelet count. Methods Data of all patients undergoing AVR with (n=829) or without (n=1230) coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in a single centre between January 1998 through May 2009 were analyzed. The lowest platelet count (minimum platelet count) within the first five postoperative days was determined. Results Four hundred one patients received an ATS mechanical prosthesis (ATS), 791 patients a St Jude mechanical prosthesis (SJ), 618 patients a Carpentier-Edwards Perimount bioprosthesis (CEP), 213 patients a Medtronic Freestyle stentless bioprosthesis (FRE) and 36 patients a Sorin Freedom Solo stentless bioprosthesis (SFS). Using multivariate linear regression model, the following independent risk factors for a lower postoperative platelet count were revealed: age, body surface area, active endocarditis, preoperative platelet count, duration of extracorporeal circulation, number of grafts, valve size and the number of transfused FFP and RBC. Entering the type of prostheses into the multivariate linear regression analysis together with the other risk factors, patients with CEP and FRE valve prosthesis had a lower minimum postoperative platelet count than those having mechanical prostheses (ATS and SJ). Conclusion Patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with a Carpentier-Edwards Perimount bioprosthesis and those with a Medtronic Freestyle stentless bioprosthesis have a lower minimum platelet count within the first five postoperative days compared to the ATS and St. Jude mechanical prostheses. No differences were found between the Sorin Freedom Solo and all other valve prostheses. 10 11 Abstracts Abstracts 13.15 uur 13.30 uur MINIMALLY INVASIVE MITRAL VALVE SURGERY THROUGH RIGHT MINI ANTEROLATERAL THORACOTOMY: RESULTS OF 221 CONSECUTIVE PATIENTS PREDICTORS OF 30-DAY MORTALITY AFTER AORTIC ROOT REPLACEMENT WITH A MECHANICAL VALVE PROSTHESIS IN A SERIES OF 528 PATIENTS MA Zandee, A Yilmaz, TL de Kroon Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, St Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, The Netherlands Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery, St. Antonius Ziekenhuis Nieuwegein, The Netherlands Purpose Evaluation of short-term results after port-access mitral valve surgery. Methods From November 2005 to July 2009, data of 221 consecutive patients were obtained retrospectively from medical charts and follow-up completed. Results Indication for operation was mitral stenosis in 10 (5%) patients and mitral regurgitation in 211 (95%) patients. The pathology of valve disease was was degenerative disease in 160 (72%), reumatic or sclerotic disease in 25 (11%), annular dilatation in 24 (11%), ischemic disease in 2 (1.0%) and congenital in 1 (0.5%) patients. Nine patients (4.1%) had post-endocarditis lesions and one patient had active endocarditis. Six (3%) patients had prior sternotomy. Valve repair was achieved in 177 (80%) while 45 patients had replacement. Repair rate for degenerative disease was 88%. Concommitant procedures were pulmonary vein isolation in 16 (7.2%), primary ASD closure in 15 (6.8%) and TVP in 5 (2.3%). Follow-up was achieved in 93%. In hospital mortality was 4 (1.8%). Three other patients died (two non-cardiac cause) during the mean follow-up of 635 days (90-1421). Eight (3.6%) patients were reoperated due to recurrent regurgitation and one (0.5%) patient due to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage. After follow-up 74.6% of all patients were in NYHA class I or improved at least one class. Conclusion Our serie shows a high repair rate, low mortality and general good functional recovery after portaccess mitral valve surgery. 12 BP van Putte, S Siddiqi, MAAM Schepens, RH Heijmen and WJ Morshuis Purpose Aortic root replacement with a mechanical valve prosthesis is a widely accepted surgical technique. This study aims to evaluate short-term outcome of this approach and to identify predictors of 30-day mortality. Methods We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive series of 528 patients (mean age: 54 ± 13 years) who underwent aortic root replacement for aneurysm (83%), acute type A dissection (15%) or endocarditis (2%) in the period between 1974 and 2008. The mean time of follow-up was 5.5 ± 6.5 years (range 0-32.9). Concomitant aortic surgery was performed in 71%, coronary revascularization in 18% and mitral valve surgery in 3%. Selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (SACP) was applied in 25% and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in 28% of patients. SPSS version 15.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results Overall 30-day mortality was 3.2%: 2.5% for elective surgery and 6.5% for emergent surgery. Morbidity included resternotomy for bleeding or tamponade (20%), pacemaker implantation (3.6%), myocardial infarction (4.0%) and neurological damage (1.6%). Multivariate analysis revealed myocardial infarction (p<0.001) and the lack of usage of glue (p=0.018) as independent predictors of 30-day mortality. Subanalysis of the SACP and the DHCA patients revealed infarction (p=0.005) and coronary artery disease (p=0.45) for SACP and wrapping (p=0.035) for DHCA as independent risk factors. Conclusion Aortic root replacement with a mechanical valve prosthesis can be performed safely with low mortality and acceptable morbidity. Perioperative myocardial infarction is the strongest independent risk factor of 30-day mortality. 13 Abstracts Abstracts 13.45 uur 15.30 uur OUTCOME AFTER VALVE-SPARING AORTIC ROOT SURGERY WITH THE REIMPLANTATION AND REMODELING TECHNIQUE PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASE AS A PREDICTOR OF SURVIVAL AFTER CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING: COMPARISON WITH A MATCHED GENERAL POPULATION A Tjon, MT Letsch, DR Koolbergen, MG Hazekamp, MIM Versteegh, RJM Klautz Dept. of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden Purpose In this study we report and compare the results of valve sparing aortic root surgery with the reimplantation technique as described by David (reimpl) and the remodeling technique as described by Yacoub (remod) concurrent with or without aortic leaflet repair (AVP). Methods From January 1999 43 patients underwent reimpl (of which 10 with AVP (reimpl+AVP)) and 19 a remod (of which 7 with AVP (remod+AVP)). Mean age for the reimpl was 49,4 (19-67), for the remod 58,1 (40-75). Etiologies were root aneurysm (reimpl 32/43, remod 11/19) and acute aortic dissection (reimpl 11/43, remod 8/19). Clinical and echocardiographic follow-up was complete with a mean follow-up of 4,2 years. Results Early mortality in the reimpl group was 1/43, in the remod group 1/19. Late mortality was respectively 1 and 3. At follow-up 7 patients developed AoI grade 3 or more (reimpl (1), remod (3), remod+AVP (3)), 7 developed AoI grade 2 (reimpl (1), reimpl+AVP (3), remod (1), remod+AVP (2)) and in all others (n=42) the AoI was grade I or less. 5 patients were reoperated, all in the remod group. Only 2 patients were in NYHA class III (reimpl) and all others in I or II. Conclusion The reimplantation technique seems a more durable repair compared to the remodeling technique; this was not influenced if concomitant AVP was performed. Patients with acute aortic dissection can have a valve sparing root reconstruction with low mortality; in our opinion this is the operation of choice for young patients if the clinical situation allows it. 14 MA Soliman Hamad1; Cristina Firanescu1; Joost FJ ter Woorst1; M Erwin SH Tan1; Eric Berreklouw1; Elisabeth J Martens2; and Albert HM van Straten1. Department of 1Cardiothoracic Surgery, and 2Education and Research, Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, The Netherlands Purpose The most popular European scoring system in cardiac surgery, the EuroSCORE, uses the extracardiac arteriopathy as a risk factor for early mortality. We studied the effect of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) on early and late mortality in a large group of patients undergoing isolated CABG. Methods During a 10-year period (January 1998 through December 2007) 10 626 patients underwent isolated CABG in our hospital. The primary endpoints of this study were early and late all-cause mortality. For each year of the study period, general population cohorts were matched with the patient groups for age and gender (expected survival). Results Out of 10 504 patients included in the analysis, 1222 (11.63%) patients had PVD. Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) was not identified as an independent risk factor for early mortality with a hazard ratio of 1.06 (0.70-1.60), P= .776. For late mortality, PVD was found as an independent risk factor with a hazard ratio of 1.67(1.43-1.95), P<.0001. Patients without PVD had a better survival than patients with PVD (log–rank P <0.0001) and even a better survival compared to the normal Dutch population survival (p-value < .002). PVD patients had a worse than expected survival (log-rank P<.0001). Conclusion Peripheral vascular disease is an independent risk factor only for late mortality but not for early mortality. Compared to age and sex matched cohorts from the general Dutch population, the 10-year survival of patients with peripheral vascular disease was worse; whereas the survival of patients with no peripheral vascular disease was better. 15 Abstracts Abstracts 15.45 uur INITIAL EXPERIENCE WITH A PORTABLE DIGITAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM MB de Jong, A Huijbers, WH Steup General surgery, Haga Hospital, The Hague Purpose Air leaks are one of the most common pulmonary complications after pulmonary resection and they are the most frequent cause of prolonged hospital stay. The traditionally used analogue pleural drainage system may be interpreted differently by different bedside observers. More recently a digital pleural drainage system has been developed. This system enables us to quantify the size of air leaks in ml/min. The purpose of this study was to compare the use of a digital drainage system with the analogue drainage system. Methods From January 2008 to December 2008 al data of patients undergoing pulmonary resections were gathered retrospectively. They all received the analogue system. From January 2009 until August 2009 we gathered the data from all patients undergoing pulmonary resections who received the Thopaz® digital system. Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier survival curves of patients with and without peripheral vascular disease and the survival of the normal Dutch population. *survival of the normal Dutch population matched for age and sex with the PVD groups log rank no PVD – expected log rank PVD expected P= 0.002 P=<.0001 No PVD – PVD P=<.0001 16 Results Eighteen patients received the Thopaz®, 12 anatomical resections and 6 wedge resections. The results were retrospectively compared with 26 patients who received the analogue system, 20 anatomical resections and 6 wedge resections. The ability to assess the air leak status continuously afforded quicker chest tube removal in the digital group (mean, 1.5 vs 4.3 days) and reduced hospital stay (mean 7 vs 10.7 days). Conclusion The digital system reduces hospital length of stay by more accurately and reproducibly measuring air leaks resulting in a quicker removal of the chest tube. The ability to save data and present curves for the entire course of treatment will be an advantage for research in the field of lung surgery. 17 Abstracts Film 16.00 uur 16.15 uur POST-PNEUMONECTOMY SYNDROMES: THE HEART, THE BRONCHUS OR THE VEINS? PNEUMONECTOMY IN THE LATE FORTIES MA Paul1, MAJM Huijbregts2, JWA Oosterhuis1 department of surgery, VU university medical center, Amsterdam MA Paul, KJ Hartemink, JWA Oosterhuis departments of 1) surgery and 2) cardiothoracic surgery, VU medical center, Amsterdam Pneumonectomy requires considerable physiological and anatomical adaptations. These changes may lead to several compression syndromes. I. Kinking and narrowing of the airway is caused by displacement of the trachea with stretching of the remaining bronchus over fixed structures, such as the spinal column or the descending aorta. It occurs mostly in young people, especially after right pneumonectomy. Repositioning of the mediastinum with the insertion of spacers is curative. In the archives of the NOS (Dutch Broadcast Society) a 7 minute silent film was found which clearly shows all aspects of a pneumonectomy. This film was dated 1938 and does not reveal any name or institution. However, the intraoperative use of penicillin powder reveals it should be dated in the late forties. II. Intermittent kinking of the left pulmonary veins may follow right pneumonectomy The symptom is acute pulmonary edema, position dependant. Dynamic ultrafast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is required to obtain this diagnosis. Also in these patients, repositioning of the mediastinum using spacers is curative. III. Elevation of the right hemidiaphragm, especially after phrenic nerve injury, can cause compression of the heart. The clinical picture varies from collaps on exercise, due to compression of the left ventricle, to right- sided heart failure caused by atrial compression. In one patient elevation of the right hemidiaphragm caused rotation of the heart with opening of the oval foramen. The intracardiac shunting resulted in severe hypoxia. This type of compression syndrome is easily treated by plication of the diaphragm. Conclusion Late onset dyspnea after pneumonectomy may have various causes, all caused by excessive displacement of mediastinal structures. CT scanning is sufficient for the diagnosis of bronchial compression, the other compression syndromes require MR imaging. Surgical correction provides immediate relief. 18 19 Routebeschrijving Domus Medica Domus Medica Mercatorlaan 1200 3528 BL UTRECHT (030) 28 23 911 Met openbaar vervoer Met het openbaar vervoer is Domus Medica goed bereikbaar.
