Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a global health burden, contributing to mortality and morbidity. A proportion of patients with CAD suffer from diffuse CAD, where conventional revascularization techniques such as percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may be insufficient to adequately restore myocardial perfusion. Transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) uses a laser to create microscopic channels in the myocardium, inducing inflammation, angiogenesis, and neovascularization to improve perfusion to ischemic regions. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrate of platelets that contains a myriad of growth factors and bioactive proteins, which have been shown to promote tissue regeneration and wound healing. The combination of TMR and PRP therapies has been proposed to synergistically enhance myocardial revascularization and functional recovery in patients with advanced CAD undergoing surgical revascularization. Methods This study evaluated the efficacy of combining TMR and PRP with CABG in improving cardiac function in diffuse CAD patients. Fifty-two patients were randomized to CABG alone (n = 16), CABG+TMR (n = 17), CABG+PRP (n = 10), and CABG+TMR+PRP (n = 9). TMR was performed using a holmium:YAG laser to create 10 channels in the inferolateral left ventricular wall. PRP was prepared from autologous whole blood and injected into the myocardium adjacent to the TMR channels. Cardiac function was assessed using speckle-tracking echocardiography preoperatively, postoperatively, and at one-year follow-up. Adverse events, including post-operative atrial fibrillation, acute kidney injury, and readmissions, were also recorded. Statistical analyses were performed to compare outcomes between the treatment groups. Results The CABG+TMR+PRP group showed significantly improved global longitudinal strain (GLS) at one year compared to CABG alone (mean GLS -15.96 vs -12.09, p = 0.02). Post-operative left ventricular ejection fraction trended higher in the TMR+PRP group (57.78%) vs other groups, but not significantly. Post-operative atrial fibrillation was higher in the TMR+PRP group (67% vs 25%, p = 0.04), potentially reflecting increased inflammation. No significant differences were observed in other adverse events. Conclusions The results of this study suggest a synergistic benefit of combining TMR and PRP therapies as an adjunct to CABG in patients with diffuse CAD. The significant improvement in GLS at one year in the TMR+PRP group compared to CABG alone indicates enhanced myocardial remodeling and functional recovery, which may translate to improved long-term outcomes. The higher incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in the TMR+PRP group warrants further investigation but may reflect the heightened inflammatory response necessary for angiogenesis and tissue regeneration. Prospective, randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are needed to validate these findings and optimize treatment protocols. Nonetheless, concomitant TMR+PRP therapy represents a promising approach to augmenting myocardial revascularization and recovery in patients with advanced CAD undergoing surgical revascularization.
背景
冠状动脉疾病(CAD)是一项全球性的健康负担,会导致死亡率和发病率上升。一部分CAD患者患有弥漫性CAD,传统的血运重建技术,如经皮冠状动脉介入治疗和冠状动脉旁路移植术(CABG),可能不足以充分恢复心肌灌注。心肌血运重建术(TMR)使用激光在心肌中创建微小通道,引发炎症、血管生成和新生血管形成,以改善对缺血区域的灌注。富血小板血浆(PRP)是血小板的自体浓缩物,含有大量生长因子和生物活性蛋白,已被证明可促进组织再生和伤口愈合。有人提出将TMR和PRP疗法联合使用,以协同增强接受外科血运重建的晚期CAD患者的心肌血运重建和功能恢复。
方法
本研究评估了TMR和PRP与CABG联合应用对改善弥漫性CAD患者心功能的疗效。52例患者被随机分为单纯CABG组(n = 16)、CABG+TMR组(n = 17)、CABG+PRP组(n = 10)和CABG+TMR+PRP组(n = 9)。使用钬:钇铝石榴石激光在左心室下外侧壁创建10个通道进行TMR。从自体全血中制备PRP,并注入到TMR通道附近的心肌中。术前、术后及1年随访时使用斑点追踪超声心动图评估心功能。还记录了不良事件,包括术后房颤、急性肾损伤和再次入院情况。进行统计分析以比较各治疗组的结果。
结果
与单纯CABG组相比,CABG+TMR+PRP组在1年时整体纵向应变(GLS)显著改善(平均GLS -15.96对-12.09,p = 0.02)。TMR+PRP组术后左心室射血分数较其他组有升高趋势(57.78%),但无显著差异。TMR+PRP组术后房颤发生率较高(67%对25%,p = 0.04),这可能反映了炎症增加。在其他不良事件方面未观察到显著差异。
结论
本研究结果表明,在弥漫性CAD患者中,TMR和PRP疗法联合作为CABG的辅助治疗具有协同益处。与单纯CABG组相比,TMR+PRP组1年时GLS的显著改善表明心肌重塑和功能恢复增强,这可能转化为更好的长期预后。TMR+PRP组术后房颤发生率较高值得进一步研究,但可能反映了血管生成和组织再生所需的炎症反应增强。需要进行样本量更大、随访期更长的前瞻性随机对照试验来验证这些发现并优化治疗方案。尽管如此,TMR+PRP联合治疗是一种有前景的方法,可增强接受外科血运重建的晚期CAD患者的心肌血运重建和恢复。
