Simple Summary: Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a procedure in which complex coronary arteries stenosis is treated by bypassing atherosclerotic lesions with venous or arterial grafts. CABG is associated with myocardial damage due to ischemia/reperfusion injury. In addition, postoperative complications, including perioperative myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation and graft failure, remain important clinical challenges. So far, no reliable diagnostic and prognostic tools to predict outcomes after CABG surgery have been established. MiRNAs are noncoding, 21–24 nucleotide-long RNA particles, expressions of which alter during CABG surgery. Here, we summarize the potential clinical applicability of miRNAs as promising biomarkers to predict post-CABG procedure outcomes. MiRNAs are noncoding, 21–24 nucleotide-long RNA particles that control over 60% of genes. MiRNAs affect gene expression through binding to the 3'-untranslated region of messenger RNA (mRNA), thus inhibiting mRNA translation or inducing mRNA degradation. MiRNAs have been associated with various cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, or ischemic heart disease. In addition, miRNA expression alters during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, which could be used to predict perioperative outcomes. CABG is an operation in which complex coronary arteries stenosis is treated by bypassing atherosclerotic lesions with venous or arterial grafts. Despite a very low perioperative mortality rate and excellent long-term survival, CABG is associated with postoperative complications, including reperfusion injury, graft failure, atrial fibrillation and perioperative myocardial infarction. So far, no reliable diagnostic and prognostic tools to predict prognosis after CABG have been developed. Changes in the perioperative miRNA expression levels could improve the diagnosis of post-CABG myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation and could be used to stratify risk after CABG. Herein, we describe the expression changes of different subtypes of miRNAs during CABG and review the diagnostic and prognostic utility of miRNAs in patients undergoing CABG. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) comprises 15–30% of all bypass grafting surgeries. The currently available perioperative scores such as Euroscore and STS score do not specifically predict long-term mortality after off-pump procedures. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is one of the new, easily accessible markers of inflammation with proven predictive value in cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to develop the first risk score for long-term mortality after OPCAB and to determine if the perioperative value of NLR predicts long-term mortality in OPCAB patients. Methods: In total, 440 consecutive patients with multivessel stable coronary artery disease undergoing OPCAB were recruited. Differential leukocyte counts were obtained by a routine hematology analyzer. Data regarding mortality during a median follow-up time of 5.3 years were obtained from the Polish National Health Service database. An independent population of 242 patients served as a validation cohort. Results: All-cause mortality was influenced by different clinical risk factors. In multivariate regression analysis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, stroke history, post-operative NLR and LVEF were independent predictors of mortality. Combing all independent predictors predicted long-term all-cause mortality with 68.5% sensitivity and 71.5% specificity (AUC = 0.704, p < 0.001). After weighing these variables according to their estimates in a multivariate regression model, we developed a score to predict mortality in patients undergoing OPCAB (PREDICT-OPCAB Score, ranging from 0 to 10). Patients with a high score were at higher risk of mortality within the median 5.3 years of follow-up (score 0–3: 8.3%; 4–6: 27.0%; 7–10: 40.0%; p < 0.001 for score 0–3 vs. 4–6 and 7–10). This association was confirmed in the validation cohort. Conclusions: We developed and validated the first simplified risk score to predict mortality following OPCAB based on easily accessible clinical factors. This risk score can be used when obtaining a patient's informed consent and as an aid in determining treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the most efficient procedures for patients with advanced coronary artery disease. From all the blood vessels with the potential to be used in this procedure, the internal thoracic artery (ITA) and the saphenous vein (SV) are the most commonly applied as aortocoronary conduits. Nevertheless, in order to evaluate the graft patency and efficiency effectively, basic knowledge should be constantly expanding at the molecular level as well, as the understanding of predictive factors is still limited. In this study, we have employed the expressive microarray approach, validated with Real-Time Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR), to analyze the transcriptome of both venous and arterial grafts. Searching for potential molecular factors, we analyzed differentially expressed gene ontologies involved in bone development and morphogenesis, for the possibility of discovery of new markers for the evaluation of ITA and SV segment quality. Among three ontological groups of interest—"endochondral bone morphogenesis", "ossification", and "skeletal system development"—we found six genes common to all of them. BMP6, SHOX2, COL13A1, CSGALNACT1, RUNX2, and STC1 showed differential expression patterns in both analyzed vessels. STC1 and COL13A1 were upregulated in ITA samples, whereas others were upregulated in SV. With regard to the Runx2 protein function in osteogenic phenotype regulation, the RUNX2 gene seems to be of paramount importance in assessing the potential of ITA, SV, and other vessels used in the CABG procedure. Overall, the presented study provided valuable insight into the molecular background of conduit characterization, and thus indicated genes that may be the target of subsequent studies, also at the protein level. Moreover, it has been suggested that RUNX2 may be recognized as a molecular marker of osteogenic changes in human blood vessels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Objective: To compare the endothelial integrity of radial artery grafts harvested by minimally invasive surgery and arteries harvested conventionally for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) in 200 participants, who were assigned to interventions by using random allocation. Methods: An immunohistochemical procedure with monoclonal antibodies was employed to estimate CD31 antigen and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expressions – markers defining endothelial integrity. Results: The CD31 immunostaining revealed that the endothelial cell integrity of the minimally invasive harvested arteries was preserved in 76.1±7.4% of the circumference of luminal endothelium, which was similar to results obtained in conventionally harvested grafts (77.2±9.8%; not significant). On the other hand, eNOS immunostaining indicated that the endothelial integrity of the minimally invasive harvested grafts was preserved in 75.4±10.5% while in conventionally harvested grafts it was reduced to 42.4±14.5% of the total luminal endothelium circumference (P <0.05). Conclusions: The endothelial integrity of radial artery grafts harvested by minimally invasive surgery is better preserved than in the grafts obtained by the conventional manner. This could play an important role in improving graft patency and might represent a preliminary condition of stable functioning in coronary arterial bypasses. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
