MB creatine kinase and the evaluation of myocardial injury following aortocoronary bypass operation.

Myocardial injury was studied in 104 patients undergoing coronary artery grafting without cold chemical cardioplegia using the quantity of the isoenzyme MB of the creatine kinase liberated as an indicator. This method of evaluation, which is said to permit comparison of different techniques of myocardial protection, allowed us to consider the relative importance of several factors believed to have an influence on intraoperative myocardial injury. Indices of significance were duration of symptoms before operation, presence of chronic arterial hypertension, and the type of antiangina treatment employed. Other operative factors included severity of the arterial lesions, number of anastomoses performed, and duration of extracorporeal circulation and of aortic cross-clamping.

Anaesthesia for separation of conjoined twins.

We have presented the anaesthetic technique used during the separation of two female pygopagus conjoined twins. The twins were three months old and weighed 9.2 kilograms on the day of the operation. The main problem during the operation was to evaluate blood volume lost by each patient and a close monitoring of all cardiovascular parameters was necessary to attain this aim. The little pygopagus recuperated well and left the hospital at six months old.

Serum uric acid: not a discriminator of coronary heart disease in men and women.

Fasting serum uric acid (SUA) was measured using a spectrophotometric method in 635 randomized male subjects aged 20 to 70, as part of an epidemiological study carried our among the civil employees of French origin working for the City of Montreal. It was observed that SUA was not age-dependent and that the overall mean value was 6.26 mg./100 ml. On the other hand SUA was studied in 742 males and 260 females, all of whom had had coronarography. A significant difference in SUA between males and females of 1.26 mg./100 ml. was noted. Correlating the SUA levels with the incidence of CHD or the severity of the lesions in the coronary arteries indicated no relationship between CHD and SUA concentrations in men or in women. The results of this study permit the conclusion that SUA is not a discriminator for CHD.

The influence of serum triglycerides on the fate of aorto-coronary vein grafts.

Fasting blood lipids were analyzed shortly before revascularization surgery in an attempt to find a possible correlation between the fate of the aortocoronary saphenous vein graft and lipoproteinemia. The patency of the bypass was evaluated by arteriography at two weeks and at one year following operation. Patients with closed grafts at two weeks had an original mean serum triglyceride concentration of 287 mg./100 ml. Patients with grafts which were widely patent after one year had an original triglyceridemia of 224 mg./100 ml. The severely stenosed group had an intermediate average preoperative value of 224 mg./100 ml. The same conclusion was reached with a group of patients with good vessel(s) distal to the graft(s). Cholesterolemia was about the same in all groups. These results suggest the hypothesis that hypertriglyceridemia plays a significant role in the reduction and/or occlusion of the lumen of the vein graft.
