[Investigations of influential factors of acute renal injury after coronary artery bypass grafting].

Objective: To investigate the incidence, correlate factors and effect on convalescent of acute kidney injury (AKI) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: Sixty-eight consecutive patients who underwent scheduled CABG were included. AKI was diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria from expert group of AKI.

[Treatment of a case of Kawasaki's disease complicated with myocardial infarction].

Coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) and ventricular aneurysmectomy were done for a 2.5 years old girl with Kawasaki's disease complicated by myocardial ischemia and old myocardial infarction, left ventricular aneurysm formation and heart failure. Post-operatively, the cardiac out-put of the patient increased, the heart failure syndrome disappeared, and cardiac function improved to class I(NYHA) one month later.

[Clinical application of intro-aortic balloon pump and centrifugal pump in low cardiac output syndrome after coronary artery bypass grafting].

Objective: To explore the clinical application of Intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and centrifugal pump in low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Methods: From April 2000 to January 2004, 5 patients suffered serious LCOS after CABG in our department. Because maximum vasoactive agent had no significant effect, we supported these 5 patients with IABP and centrifugal pumps.

[Impact of intraoperative autotransfusion on RBC's in vivo half-life].

Objective: To explore the changes of in vivo half-life of processed erythrocytes following intraoperative autotransfusion(IAT) in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).

Methods: From November 2003 to January 2004,20 consecutive patients undergoing scheduled off-pump CABG were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. Intra-operative autotransfusion was used in the experimental group.
