nitrates, smoking cessation, weight loss, statins, ASA

38
Q

CAD: anatomy

A

Left main coronary artery (LMCA) - blood supply to LV and LA —> divides into LAD (supplies front of L heart) and circumflex (encircles heart, supplies outer side and back of heart)

Right coronary artery (RCA) - blood supply to RV, RA, SA node, AV node —> branches include R posterior descending artery and acute marginal artery

RCA and LAD —> together supply septum

39

most are proximal

40
Q

A

VSR (ventricular septal rupture) and papillary muscle rupture …. both occur 3-7 days after MI

41
Q

CAD: complications of MI - VSR px, findings, dx, tx

A

hypotension, pansystolic murmur, usually 3-7 days after MI … step up in O2 content between RA and pulm artery (2/2 L to R shunt) … dx = echo … tx = IABP to temporize then place patch over septum

42
Q

CAD: complications of MI - papillary muscle rupture px, dx, tx

A

severe MR with hypotension and pulm edema, usually 3-7 days after MI …. dx = echo …. tx = IABP to temporize, replace valve

43
Q

CAD: drug eluting stent restenosis rate vs saphenous vein graft vs internal mammary CABG

20% at 1 year …. 80% 5-yr patency …. >95% 20 year patency when placed to LAD

44
Q

CAD: best conduit for CABG

A

internal mammary artery … >95% 20yr patency when placed to LAD … collateralizes w superior epigastric artery

45
Q

CAD: controlled cardiac arrest

A

K and cold solution cardioplegia —> causes arrest of the heart in diastole —> keeps heart protected and still while grafts are placed

46
Q

CAD: indications for CABG

A

> 70% stenosis significant for most areas except L main disease …. L main disease, >50% stenosis is significant … 3-vessel disease - LAD, Cx, R coronary …. 2 vessels disease involving LAD … lesions not amenable to stenting

rare note, most are from rheumatic fever

Q

valve disease: mitral stenosis - px

A

pulmonary edema and dyspnea

64
Q

valve disease: mitral stenosis - indications for operation

A

symptomatic ….usually have valve area <1cm2

to open valve, often used as first procedure b/c not as invasive

Q

endocarditis: px

A

fevers, chills, sweats

67
Q

endocarditis: MC site for prosthetic vs native valves

A

MC on L except in drug abusers (R side)

myxoma (75% in LA) … angiosarcoma … lung CA

73
Q

mgmt in this situation: coming off cardiopulm bypass and aortic root vent, blood is dark and aortic perfusion cannula blood is red

A

vetilate lungs

74
Q

location of lower O2 tension

A

coronary veins 2/2 high O2 extraction by myocardiu,

75
Q

SVC syndrome: describe

A

swelling of upper extremities and face

76
Q

SVC syndrome: MC cause

A

lung CA invading the SVC … these tumors are unresectable since the tumor has invaded the mediastinum

77
Q

SVC syndrome: tx

A

emergent XRT

78
Q

mediastinal bleeding postop: when concerned? indications for exploration?

A

> 500cc for 1st hour or >250cc/hr for 4 hours —> need to re-explore after cardiac surgery

79

mediastinitis: risk factors, tx

A

risk = obesity, use of b/l internal mammary arteries, DM … tx = debridement with pectoralis flaps, or can use omentum

80
