Heart and Vascular Research Publications

Publications

Staying abreast of new technology and diagnostic as well as treatment options for our patients is a high priority at Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital. Our goal is to develop and be involved in advanced research of the highest integrity that will allow our patients to participate in and benefit from innovative heart and vascular discoveries. Research is the backbone and first step in defining patient care. The 75-plus trials we are currently running are investigating many areas, including an anticoagulant that does not require INR bloodwork, genes and angina, atrial fibrillation, and stenting of the left main coronary artery.

The physicians on our medical staff and clinical staff members have been published in numerous journals and books, on topics ranging from atrial septal defects to congestive heart failure to angiography. Recent articles are included below:

Novel Cardiac Coordinate Modeling System for Three-Dimensional Quantification of Inflow Cannula Malposition of HeartMate II LVADs. Optimal function of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) depends on proper alignment of the inflow cannula (IC). Quantitative guidelines for IC angulation are lacking because of variation in cardiac geometry and difficulty in analyzing three-dimensional (3D) cannula orientation relative to the left ventricle (LV). Based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography images from five normal and five clinically malpositioned IC cases in patients with HeartMate II LVADs, we developed a method for 3D quantification of IC malpositioning. Using Mimics image software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium), the native heart, major arteries, and LVAD were segmented to create patient-specific 3D models, allowing LV cavity volume and long-axis length to be measured directly. The deviation of the IC was quantified in a cylindrical coordinate system at the IC insertion point relative to the mitral valve and septum, and IC occlusion was assessed by the distance between cannula inlet and the proximal endocardium. Compared with normal cases, patients with malpositioned pumps had shorter LV length (p = 0.03) and reduced pump pocket depth (p = 0.009). Malpositioned pumps may experience greater obstruction by the nearby myocardium. This quantitative 3D modeling tool may help identify different modes of pump malalignment and migration and may facilitate preoperative planning and minimally invasive approaches via virtual LVAD implantation.

Utilization of high donor sequence number grafts in cardiac transplantation. Donor sequence number (DSN) represents the number of candidates to whom a graft was offered and declined prior to acceptance for transplantation. We sought to investigate the outcomes of patients receiving high DSN grafts. Consecutive isolated adult cardiac transplantations performed at a single-center were reviewed. Recipients were grouped into standard (?75th percentile) DSN and high (>75th percentile) DSN. A previously validated donor risk index was used to quantify the risk associated with donor grafts, and recipient outcomes were assessed. Overall, 254 patients were included: 194 standard DSN (range 1-79) and 60 high DSN (range 82-1723). High DSN grafts were harvested at greater distance (P < .001) with increased ischemia time (P < .001), resulting in a modest increase in donor risk index (1 point median difference, P=. 014). High DSN recipients were less frequently listed as UNOS status 1A (P < .001). Despite a nonsignificant trend toward increased in-hospital/30-day mortality in high DSN recipients, there were no differences in primary graft dysfunction or 1-year survival (high DSN 89% vs standard DSN 88%, P=. 82). After adjustment for risk factors, high DSN was not associated with increased 1-year mortality (hazard ratio 1.18, 95%-CI 0.54-2.58, P=. 68).

Major Adverse Renal and Cardiac Events Following Angiography and Cardiac Surgery.Patients at high risk for developing post-procedural complications may receive iodixanol, an iso-osmolar contrast, during coronary angiography to minimize the risk of renal toxicity. For those who additionally require cardiac surgery, the wait-time between angiography and surgery may be a modifiable factor capable of mitigating poor surgical outcomes; however, there have been inconsistsent reports regarding the optimal wait-time. We sought to determine the effects of wait time between angiogram and cardiac surgery, as well as contrast induced acute injury (CI-AKI) on the development of major adverse renal and cardiac events (MARCE).

Velasco CE, Hashemi H, Roullard CP, MacHannaford J, Roberts WC. Asymptomatic Ascending Aorta Aneurysm with Severe Aortic Regurgitation Caused by Multiple Intimal-Medial Tears Unassociated with Aortic Dissection. A 62-year-old man was found to have an asymptomatic ascending aortic aneurysm (6.6?cm) associated with severe aortic regurgitation. Operative resection of the wall of the aneurysm disclosed its cause to be multiple healed intimal-medial tears without dissection involving a previously normal aorta. The concept of an intimal-medial tear unassociated with aortic dissection is a poorly recognized entity and these tears appear to be asymptomatic and after the aortic tearing lead to aneurysmal formation.
