Objective To compare the incidence of MACE and predictors in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). To establish a risk stratification to guide treatment and prognosis of patients with ULMCAD who underwent PCI. Methods The incidence of MACE in 201 patients with ULMCAD who underwent PCI or CABG was compared, retrospectively. The predictors of MACE of the two groups were obtained by logistic regression analyses. The predictors of MACE of the PCI group were assigned and stratified. The validity of the risk stratification on the prediction of MACE was verified in a new group of 126 patients with ULMCAD who underwent PCI. Results The incidence of MACE of PCI and CABG group was 16% and 11.9%, respectively. Logistic regression analyses showed that LVEF, diabetes mellitus and Syntax score were related to MACE in PCI group, while age, LVEF and renal function insufficiency were related to MACE in CABG group. The verification results showed a good predictive value of the risk stratification based on LVEF, diabetes mellitus and Syntax score on the incidence of MACE. Conclusions PCI treatment in patients with ULMCAD is feasible and has a good long-term outcome. The risk stratification in accordance with LVEF, diabetes mellitus and Syntax score has good predictive value on the incidence of MACE.

Objective To investigate the indications and mid-term outcomes of periacetabular osteotomy through ilioinguinal approach for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in middle-aged (40-50years old) adult patients.Methods Data of 10 adult patients who had undergone periacetabular osteotomies through ilioinguinal approach for DDH from August 2005 to February 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 7 females and 3 males,aged from 40 to 47 years (average,42 years).Bilateral hips were involved in 3 patients,and unilateral hip was involved in 7 patients.Before this hospitalization,1 patient had received Chari osteotomy,and 1 had received hip-shelf procedure.According to the T(o)nnis classification,3 hips were classified as Grade 0,5 as Grade Ⅰ and 2 as Grade Ⅱ.The Shenton line was discontinuous in 6 hips.The average lateral center-edge angle was 3.50°±4.88°; the average anterior center-edge angle was 1.80°±5.07°; the average acetabular index angle was 18.20°±3.01°; the average femoral head extrusion index was 31.30％±4.37％; the average Harris hip score was 67.40±7.75.Changes of the indexes mentioned above were observed during the whole period of follow-up.Results All patients were followed up for 10 to 76 months (average,37 months).The T(o)nnis grade improved in 2 cases,from preoperative Grade Ⅰ and Grade Ⅱ to Grade 0 and Grade Ⅰ at final follow-up,respectively.At final follow-up,the Shenton line was discontinuous in 2 hips; the average lateral center-edge angle improved to 30.40°±3.31°,the average anterior center-edge angle improved to 29.50°±3.03°,the average acetabular index angle decreased to 4.50°±2.55°,the average femoral head extrusion index decreased to 9.90％±4.33％; the average Harris hip score increased to 84.10±4.07.The major complications included 3 cases of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve palsy which recovered in 4 to 6 months,and 1 case of iliac fossa hematoma which disappeared in 2 weeks.Conclusion With more strict surgery indication and more meticulous manipulation,periacetabular osteotomy through ilioinguinal approach can achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of DDH in middle-aged adults,which can increase hip joint congruence,relieve hip symptom and delay progression of osteoarthritis.
