Background: Redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is still associated with increased morbidity and mortality as compared to the first-time operation. Further, the application of the off-pump technique to redo CABG is limited due to technical difficulties. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze early and midterm results after redo CABG and compare the outcome of redo on-pump and off-pump CABG. Methods: From June 1996 to October 2011, elective redo CABG was performed in 32 patients. Mean age was 64.8 years (on pump 64.3 years vs. off pump 65.5 years; p=0.658), and 21 patients were male. Among these patients, 14 (43.8%) underwent on-pump CABG, and 18 (56.2%) underwent off-pump CABG. Results: Internal thoracic artery was used in 22 patients (68.8%), and total arterial revascularization was achieved in 17 patients (53.1%). The average number of distal anastomoses was 2.13, and the rate of incomplete revascularization was 43.8%. The rate of total arterial revascularization was higher in the off-pump group (14.3% vs. 83.3%, p<0.001), and the use of saphenous vein graft was more in the on-pump group (78.6% vs. 16.7%, p<0.001). Overall hospital mortality was 3.1% (n=1) and was comparable in both groups (on pump 7.1% vs. off pump 0%; p=0.249). Postoperative complications occurred in 9 patients (64.2%), and the rate of complications was high in the on-pump group without statistical significance (64.2% vs. 33.3%, p=0.082). The mean follow-up duration was 5.4 years, and overall survival at 10 years was $86.0%{\pm}10.5%$. There was no significant difference in the 10-year survival rate between the two groups (79.6% vs. 100%, p=0.225). Conclusion: Redo CABG can be safely performed with acceptable mortality. Redo off-pump coronary artery bypass is feasible with low mortality and morbidity, comparable target vessel bypass grafting, and long-term survival. The off-pump technique might be considered a safe option for redo CABG in high-risk patients.

배경: 심폐바이패스 없이 시행하는 관상동맥우회술("Off-pump" Coronary Artery Bypass grafting, OPCAB)은 체외순환의 부작용을 피할 수 있는 이점이 있으며 합병증 발생을 감소시킴으로써 특히 고 위험군 환자에서 유리한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 심한 허혈성 좌심실 기능부전 환자들에서 관상동맥우회슬시 체외순환 유무에 따른 수술 성적을 비교하였으며 좌심실 기능의 회복정도를 비교분석 하였다. 대상 및 방법 1997년 3월부터 2004년 2월까지 본원에서 관상동맥우회술을 시행 받은 환자들 중 술 전 좌심실 박출계수(Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction, LVEF)가$ 35\%$ 이하이고, 관상동맥우회술만을 단독으로 시행한 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. 대상 환자는 전체 75명으로 OPCAB을 시행한 경우가 33명$(mean\;LVEF\;=\;28.3\%),$ 전통적인 관상동맥우회술(Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass grafting, CCAB)을 시행한 경우가 42명$(mean\;LVEF\;=\;27.6\%)$으로 수술 전 위험인자 및 수술성적을 비교하였고 수술 후 가장 최근에 시행한 심초음파 검사 결과를 이용하여 두 군간의 좌심실 기능변화 정도를 비교하였다. 결과: 수술 전 위험요인 중 CCAB군에서 불안정성 협심증, 삼혈관 질환, 급성 심근경색이 많았으며 그 외 술 전 인자는 두 군 간 차이를 보이지 않았다 OPCAB군에서 수술시간이 통계적으로 유의하게 짧았으며, 원위부 문합수, 좌회선동맥 분지의 문합수는 CCAB군에서 유의하게 많았다. 수술 사망률$(OPCAB\; 9.1\%\;(n=3)\;Vs\;CCAB\;9.5\%\;(n=4)),$ 호흡기 사용일수, 중환자실 체류일수 및 재원기간은 차이가 없었다. 수술 후 합병증 발생률은 통계적 의미는 없었으나 CCAB군에서 더 많이 발생하는 양상이었다. 술 후 평균 16개월에 시행한 심초음파 검사에서 OPCAB군은 LVEF가 평균 $9.1\%$ 향상되었고 좌심실 확장기말 치수(LVEDD)는 4.3mm, 좌심실 수축기말 치수(LVESD)는 4.2mm 감소하였으며, CCAB군은 LVEF가 $11.0\%$ 향상되었고, LVEDD는 5.1mm, LVESD는 5.5mm 감소하였다. 그러나 두 군간의 차이에는 통계적인 유의성이 없었다. 결론: 심한 허혈성 좌심실 기능부전 환자에서 관상 동맥우회술이 수술 후 좌심실 기능을 향상시켜주는 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 체외순환 여부에 따른 좌심실 기능의 회복정도에는 차이가 얼었다. OPCAB은 심한 좌심실 기능저하가 있는 환자에서 수술 사망률 및 술 후 좌심실 기능 회복 측면에서 CCAB에 대등한 결과를 보였으며, 수술시간이 단축되는 장점과 합병증 발생이 감소되는 경향을 고려할 때 CCAB보다 우월하므로 좌심실 기능이 심하게 저하된 환자 수술 시 먼저 시도해 보아야 할 것이다.

Background: The benefits of epicardial ultrasound scanning (EUS) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have not yet been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of EUS in CABG, including in the assessment of the quality of distal anastomoses, the identification of epicardial target vessels, and the evaluation of any graft issues other than the distal anastomoses. Methods: Fifty-three patients undergoing CABG were enrolled between March 2018 and February 2019. Intraoperative EUS was performed along with transit-time flow measurement (TTFM). Graft evaluations were performed early (shortly after surgery) and 1 year after surgery for 53 (100%) and 47 (88.7%) patients, respectively. Results: EUS was applied to assess the quality of all distal anastomoses, 32 target vessels, and 2 conduit trunks. Insufficient TTFM findings were obtained for 18 grafts. However, graft revision was performed for only 3 distal anastomoses; based on the EUS findings, the remaining 15 sites were not revised. The early and 1-year overall graft patency rates were 100% (141 anastomoses) and 96.1% (122 of 127 anastomoses), respectively. All 15 of the distal anastomoses that were not revised despite insufficient TTFM results were patent at the 1-year mark. Conclusion: The routine application of EUS in CABG could be beneficial by confirming the quality of surgery and reducing unnecessary procedures.

Bone grafts are widely used in the reconstruction of osseous defects in the oral and maxillofacial region. Autogenous bone grafts are considered the gold standard in grafting of the oral and maxillofacial region, because of its osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. Mandibular symphysis & ascending ramus bone graft have been used more frequently because of easy surgical access, reduced operative time, and following minimal morbidity. However, even though the frequent use of the anterior part of ascending ramus and the different regions of mandible, rare of the reports provide information about the quantity of bone available in this donor site. So this study was taken to evaluate & quantify the amount of bone graft material in the anterior ascending ramus regions. This study was made on 36 samples of CT image. In 3D volume image, imaginary osteotomy & segmentation were done and the dimensions and volume of the bone grafts were measured and evaluated. the average volume of the graft materials obtained from the ascending ramus was $3656.83{\pm}108.19mm^3$, and the average dimensions of graft materials were $(33.68{\pm}0.48){\times}(34.92{\pm}0.51){\times}(15.96{\pm}0.27){\times}(9.05{\pm}0.27)mm$.

Background Autologous fat graft has become a useful technique for correction of acquired contour deformity in reconstructed breasts. However, there remains controversial regarding the efficacy and safety of the practice for reconstructive breast surgery. Methods A retrospective review was performed on 102 patients who had secondary fat grafting after breast reconstruction. Fat harvest, refinement and injection were done by Coleman's technique. All patients were followed up postoperatively within 1 month and after 6 months including physical examination and ultrasonography. In 38 patients, the reabsorption rate was calculated by serial changes of thickness between skin and pectoral fascia in the ultrasonic finding. Locoregional recurrence rate was compared with control group of 449 patients who had breast reconstruction without fat graft in the same time period. Results Average 49.3 mL fat was injected into each breast. The most common location of fat graft was upper pole, followed by axilla, lower and medial breasts. During 28.7 months of average follow-up period, 2.9% of total patients had symptoms of palpable mass on fat graft side and ultrasonography identified fat necrosis and cyst formation in 17.6% of the patients. Calculated fat reabsorption rate was 32.9%. Locoregional recurrence was occurred in 1 patient (0.9%) and the rate was not different significantly with control group (2%). Conclusions Although further studies are required to provide surgeons with definitive guidelines for the implementation of fat grafting, we propose autologous fat graft is an efficient and safe technique for secondary breast reconstruction.

Calvarial bone grafting in craniomaxillofacial trauma and facial reconstructive surgery is now widely recognized and accepted as a standard procedure. One of the commonly reported problems of calvarial bone graft is the contour defect caused by partial resorption of the graft. But, there are few reports that discuss the fate of the calvarial bone graft based on the quantitative data. In this article, the changes of grafted calvarial bone were evaluated using 3-dimensional computed tomography(CT). 9 patients were observed with the CT scans at 2mm thickness immediately after operation and at the time of last follow-up. The area of the bone defect was segmented on the 3-dimensional CT image and calculated by AnalyzeDirect 5.0 software. The immediate postoperative bone defect area of the recipient site and the donor site were $612.9mm^2$ and $441.5mm^2$, respectively, which became $1028.1mm^2$ and $268.8mm^2$, respectively at the last follow-up. In conclusion, the bone defect area was less increased on the donor site of calvarial bone graft than on the recipient site. And the CT scan is a valuable imaging method to assess and follow-up the clinical outcome of calvarial bone grafting.

Background: A previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may affect the outcomes of patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The objective of this study was to compare the early in-hospital postoperative outcomes between patients who underwent CABG with or without previous PCI. Methods: The present study included 160 patients who underwent isolated elective on-pump CABG at the department of cardiothoracic surgery, Minia University Hospital from January 2010 to December 2014. Patients who previously underwent PCI (n=38) were compared to patients who did not (n=122). Preoperative, operative, and early in-hospital postoperative data were analyzed. The end points of the study were in-hospital mortality and postoperative major adverse events. Results: Non-significant differences were found between the study groups regarding preoperative demographic data, risk factors, left ventricular ejection fraction, New York Heart Association class, EuroSCORE, the presence of left main disease, reoperation for bleeding, postoperative acute myocardial infarction, a neurological deficit, need for renal dialysis, hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality. The average time from PCI to CABG was $13.9{\pm}5.4$ years. The previous PCI group exhibited a significantly larger proportion of patients who experienced in-hospital major adverse events (15.8% vs. 2.5%, p=0.002). On multivariate analysis, only previous PCI was found to be a significant predictor of major adverse events (odds ratio, 0.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.03 to 0.71; p=0.01). Conclusion: Previous PCI was found to have a significant effect on the incidence of early major adverse events after CABG. Further large-scale and long-term studies are recommended.

Backgrounds: To overcome limited amount of autogenous mucosa for the reconstruction of various mucosal defect including oral mucosal defect, tissue engineered mucosa has been recently introduced. However, introduced conventional technique of tissue engineered mucosa still have serious pitfalls such as long fabrication time, fragility of the reconstructed mucosa, and complexity of the technique. Aim of the study: To examine whether the complex of preconfluent autologous keratinocytes and autologous PRP(Platelet rich plasma) can reconstruct oral mucosa on the muscular flap with easier and faster way compared to conventional mucosal tissue engineering technique. Materials and methods: One day before the operation, oral mucosa(3mm in diameter) were taken and treated for extraction of oral keratinocytes according to the routine manner. The day of operation, oral keratinocytes were prepared in the laboratory and then moved to the operating theater. Autologous PRP was also prepared and then mixed with oral keratinocytes just before grafting on the prepared muscular flap. After keratinocyte-PRP complex was seated, then a sterilized rubber sheet was placed on the graft and the elevated skin flap was replaced and sutured. Biopsies were proceeded at 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days. Tissue samples were evaluated clinically, histologically, and immunohistochemically. Results: All of the oral keratinocyte-PRP complexes were successfully grafted on the recipient sites(100%). On 3 days after the operation, 1-2 continuous epithelial layer and many inflammatory cells were observed. On 5 days after the operation, increase of layers of keratinocyte was observed with less inflammatory response. Thickness of the layers was gradually increased from 7 to 21 days after the operation. Cytokeratin confirms epithelium in every specimen. Conclusions: Preconfluent graft of autogenous oral keratinocytes mixed with autogenous PRP have successfully reconstructed myo-mucosal flap. This technique could be a useful alternative for oral mucosal reconstruction in the near future.
