    (2014) MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira de; HUEB, Whady; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, Roberto
    Background: We aim to evaluate in-hospital events and long-term clinical outcomes in patients over 60 years of age with stable coronary artery disease and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction undergoing off-pump or on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods: The MASS III was a single-center randomized trial that evaluate 308 patients with stable coronary artery disease and preserved ventricular function assigned for: 155 to off-pump and 153 to on-pump CABG. Of this, 176 (58.3%) patients were 60 years or older at the time of randomization (90 of-pump and 86 on-pump). The primary short-term end point was a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, and overall mortality occurring within 30 days after surgery or before discharge, whichever was later. The primary long-term end point was death from any cause within 5 years, non-fatal myocardial infarction between 30 days and 5 years, or additional revascularization between 30 days and 5 years. Results: On-pump CABG had a higher incidence of 30-day composite outcome than off-pump CABG (15,1% and 5.6%, respectively; P = 0.036). However, after the multivariate analysis, this association lost statistical significance, P = 0.05. After 5-year follow-up, there were no significant differences between both strategies of CABG in the composite end points 16.7% and 15.1%; Hazard Ratio 1.07; CI 0.41 - 1.82; P = 0.71, for off-pump and on-pump CABG respectively. Conclusions: On-pump and off-pump CABG achieved similar results of combined events at short-term and 5-year follow-up.

    Comparison between off-pump and on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with severe lesions at the circumflex artery territory: 5-year follow-up of the MASS III trial
    (2015) MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira de; HUEB, Whady; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; SCUDELER, Thiago Luis; KALIL FILHO, Roberto
    OBJECTIVES: The technical difficulty in the revascularization of the circumflex artery territory with off-pump surgery may compromise the outcome of this method in clinical follow-up. We aimed to evaluate cardiac events in patients with stable coronary artery disease and severe obstruction of the circumflex system, undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with or without cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS: MASS III was a single-centre study that evaluated 308 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease randomized to on-pump (153) or off-pump (155) CABG. Of this total, 260 (84.4%) patients had, on coronary angiography, at least one 70% obstruction in the circumflex territory (141 on-pump and 119 off-pump). The combined outcome was death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (angioplasty or surgery) or hospitalization for cardiac causes. Variables with possible associations (P < 0.1) were included in the multivariate analysis. RESULTS: The two groups were well matched for demographics and clinical and angiographic characteristics. After 5 years of follow-up, off-pump CABG had higher combined events than on-pump had: 25 (21%) vs 17 (12%), hazard ratio 1.88, 95% confidence interval 1.02-.48, P = 0.041. In the multivariate model with the inclusion of the following variables: age (P = 0.09) and complete revascularization (P = 0.68), off-pump surgery remained as a predictor of combined events in 5 years, P = 0.03. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and severe lesions in the circumflex territory, off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery resulted in a higher incidence of cardiac events at 5-year follow-up.

    ON-PUMP VERSUS OFF-PUMP CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS SURGERY IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED AGE: FIVE-YEAR FOLLOW-UP OF MASS III TRIAL
    (2013) MELO, Rodrigo M. V.; HUEB, Whady; OIKAWA, Fernando T. C.; COSTA, Leandro; SERRANO, Carlos; GARZILLO, Cibele; REZENDE, Paulo; LIMA, Eduardo; FAVARATO, Desiderio; HUEB, Alexandre; RAMIRES, Jose; KALIL-FILHO, Roberto
    Background: Advanced age is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which may be a consequence of cardiopulmonary bypass. We aim to evaluate cardiac events and long-term clinical outcome in patients with advanced age and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing off-pump (OPCAB) and on-pump (ONCAB) CABG. Methods: The MASS III was a single-center randomized trial that evaluate 308 patients with stable CAD and preserved ventricular function assigned for: 155 to off-pump and 153 to on-pump CABG. Of this, 176 (58.3%) patients had 60 years or older at the time of randomization (90 of-pump and 86 on-pump). Primary composite end points were death, myocardial infarction, further revascularization, or stroke. Results: The two randomized groups were well-matched for baseline demographic, clinical, and angiographic characteristics. The mean age was 67.2 (±5.0) years. In hospital analysis ONCAB patients had a higher incidence of postoperative stroke or myocardial infarction: 13 (15.1%) vs 5 (5.6%); p=0.036. After 5-year follow-up, there were no significant differences between both strategies of CABG in the composite end points 29.1% vs 27.8%; (Hazard Ratio 1.07; CI 0.62 – 1.87; p=0.8) for ONCAB and OPCAB respectively. Conclusion: In this advanced age population, off-pump surgery did not add benefit in clinical outcome at 5-year follow-up.

    (2016) HUEB, Whady; GERSH, Bernard J.; COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira de; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; VILLA, Alexandre Volney; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; STRUNZ, Celia Maria Cassaro; FAVARATO, Desiderio; TAKIUTI, Myrthes Emy; ALBUQUERQUE, Cicero Piva de; SILVA, Expedito Eustaquio Ribeiro da; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, Roberto
    Background. The lack of a correlation between myocardial necrosis biomarkers and electrocardiographic abnormalities after revascularization procedures has resulted in a change in the myocardial infarction (MI) definition. Methods. Patients with stable multivessel disease who underwent percutaneous or surgical revascularization were included. Electrocardiograms and concentrations of high-sensitive cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase (CK)-MB were assessed before and after procedures. Cardiac magnetic resonance and late gadolinium enhancement were performed before and after procedures. MI was defined as more than five times the 99th percentile upper reference limit for cTnI and 10 times for CK-MB in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), respectively, and new late gadolinium enhancement for cardiac magnetic resonance. Results. Of the 202 patients studied, 69 (34.1%) underwent on-pump CABG, 67 (33.2%) off-pump CABG, and 66 (32.7%) PCI. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed the accuracy of cTnI for on-pump CABG, off-pump CABG, and PCI patients was 21.7%, 28.3%, and 52.4% and for CK-MB was 72.5%, 81.2%, and 90.5%, respectively. The specificity of cTnI was 3.6%, 9.4%, and 42.1% and of CK-MB was 73.2%, 86.8%, and 96.4%, respectively. Sensitivity of cTnI was 100%, 100%, and 100% and of CK-MB was 69.2%, 64.3%, and 44.4%, respectively. The best cutoff of cTnI for on-pump CABG, off-pump CABG, and PCI was 6.5 ng/mL, 4.5 ng/mL, and 4.5 ng/mL (162.5, 112.5, and 112.5 times the 99th percentile upper reference limit) and of CK-MB was 37.5 ng/mL, 22.5 ng/mL, and 11.5 ng/mL (8.5, 5.1, and 2.6 times the 99th percentile upper reference limit), respectively. Conclusions. Compared with cardiac magnetic resonance, CK-MB was more accurate than cTnI for diagnosing MI. These data suggest a higher troponin cutoff for the diagnosis of procedure-related MI.

    BIOMARKERS AND CMR WITH LATE GADOLINIUM ENHANCEMENT FOR DIAGNOSIS OF PROCEDURE-RELATED MYOCARDIAL NECROSIS: A PROSPECTIVE TRIAL USING THE THIRD UNIVERSAL DEFINITION OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
    (2013) HUEB, Whady; NOMURA, Cesar; VILLA, Alexandre V.; PARGA, Jose; COSTA, Leandro; MELO, Rodrigo M. V.; OIKAWA, Fernando T. C.; STRUNZ, Celia; REZENDE, Paulo; LIMA, Eduardo; GARZILLO, Cibele L.; RIBEIRO, Expedito E.; HUEB, Alexandre; SERRANO, Carlos; RAMIRES, Jose; KALIL-FILHO, Roberto
    Background: The elevation of cardiac biomarkers after percutaneous or surgical myocardial revascularization procedures is common. However, the correlation between the release and the diagnosis of procedure-related myocardial infarction (Ml) remains unknown. In this study we aim to compare the release of cardiac biomarkers after mechanical interventions with the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated 64 stable multivessel coronary artery disease patients with preserved ventricular function and formal indication to revascularization. The release of troponin and CKMB for diagnosis of procedure-related Ml was defined as the third universal definition of Ml. CMR with LGE was performed in all patients before and after interventions. Measurements of cardiac biomarkers were performed before and after the procedure, every 6 hours until 48h after PCI and 72h after CABG. Results: Of 64 patients, 44 (68.8%) underwent CABG and 20 (31.2%) underwent PCI; 46 (72%) were male, 45 (70%) had 3-vessel disease, 33 (52%) had diabetes and 23 (36%) had class Ill/IV of angina. For CABG patients, injury occurred in 95.5% (troponin) and 25% (CKMB); for PCI patients injury occurred in 70% (troponin) and 5% (CKMB). From the initial 64 patients, 14 (21.9%) had new LGE on post-procedure CMR, 13 after CABG and 1 after PCI. From these 14 patients, 7 (50%) presented elevation of CKMB above the cutoffs and troponin was elevated in all patients. From the 50 patients with no new LGE on CMR, 5 (10%) presented CKMB elevation and 42 (84%) presented troponin elevation above the 99th percentile. Based on current cutoffs, troponin had a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 16% (positive predictive value of 25% and negative predictive value of 100%). CKMB had a sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 90% (positive predictive value of 58% and negative predictive value of 87%). Conclusion: In this study, cardiac biomarkers had a low accuracy for the diagnosis of procedure-related myocardial infarction based on LGE CMR.

    Significant elevation of biomarkers of myocardial necrosis after coronary artery bypass grafting without myocardial infarction established assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance
    (2017) COSTA, Leandro Menezes Alves da; HUEB, Whady; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; HUEB, Alexandre Ciappina; VILLA, Alexandre Volney; OIKAWA, Fernando Teiichi Costa; MELO, Rodrigo Morel Vieira de; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre Wainrober; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, Roberto
    The release of myocardial necrosis biomarkers after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) frequently occurs. However, the correlation between biomarker release and the diagnosis of procedure-related myocardial infarction (MI) (type 5) has been controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the amount and pattern of cardiac biomarker release after elective OPCAB in patients without evidence of a new MI on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Patients with normal baseline cardiac biomarkers referred for elective OPCAB were prospectively included. CMR with LGE was performed in all patients before and after interventions. Measurements of troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB) were systematically performed before and after the procedure. Patients with new LGE on the postprocedure CMR were excluded. All of the 53 patients without CMR evidence of a procedure-related MI after OPCAB exhibited a cTnI elevation peak above the 99th percentile. In 48 (91%), the peak value was > 10 times this threshold. However, 41 (77%) had a CK-MB peak above the limit of the 99th percentile, and this peak was > 10 times the 99th percentile in only 7 patients (13%). The median peak release of cTnI was 0.290 (0.8-3.7) ng/mL, which is 50-fold higher than the 99th percentile. In contrast with CK-MB, considerable cTnI release often occurs after an elective OPCAB procedure, despite the absence of new LGE on CMR.

    Hypotheses, rationale, design, and methods for prognostic evaluation of cardiac biomarker elevation after percutaneous and surgical revascularization in the absence of manifest myocardial infarction. A comparative analysis of biomarkers and cardiac magnetic resonance. The MASS-V Trial
    (2012) HUEB, Whady; GERSH, Bernard J.; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; GARZILLO, Cibele Larrosa; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; VIEIRA, Ricardo D'Oliveira; GARCIA, Rosa Maria Rahmi; FAVARATO, Desiderio; SEGRE, Carlos Alexandre W.; PEREIRA, Alexandre Costa; SOARES, Paulo Rogerio; RIBEIRO, Expedito; LEMOS, Pedro; PERIN, Marco A.; STRUNZ, Celia Cassaro; DALLAN, Luis A.

F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto
    Background: Although the release of cardiac biomarkers after percutaneous (PCI) or surgical revascularization (CABG) is common, its prognostic significance is not known. Questions remain about the mechanisms and degree of correlation between the release, the volume of myocardial tissue loss, and the long-term significance. Delayed-enhancement of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) consistently quantifies areas of irreversible myocardial injury. To investigate the quantitative relationship between irreversible injury and cardiac biomarkers, we will evaluate the extent of irreversible injury in patients undergoing PCI and CABG and relate it to postprocedural modifications in cardiac biomarkers and long-term prognosis. Methods/Design: The study will include 150 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD) with left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) and a formal indication for CABG; 50 patients will undergo CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB); 50 patients with the same arterial and ventricular condition indicated for myocardial revascularization will undergo CABG without CPB; and another 50 patients with CAD and preserved ventricular function will undergo PCI using stents. All patients will undergo CMR before and after surgery or PCI. We will also evaluate the release of cardiac markers of necrosis immediately before and after each procedure. Primary outcome considered is overall death in a 5-year follow-up. Secondary outcomes are levels of CK-MB isoenzyme and I-Troponin in association with presence of myocardial fibrosis and systolic left ventricle dysfunction assessed by CMR. Discussion: The MASS-V Trial aims to establish reliable values for parameters of enzyme markers of myocardial necrosis in the absence of manifest myocardial infarction after mechanical interventions. The establishments of these indices have diagnostic value and clinical prognosis and therefore require relevant and different therapeutic measures. In daily practice, the inappropriate use of these necrosis markers has led to misdiagnosis and therefore wrong treatment. The appearance of a more sensitive tool such as CMR provides an unprecedented diagnostic accuracy of myocardial damage when correlated with necrosis enzyme markers. We aim to correlate laboratory data with imaging, thereby establishing more refined data on the presence or absence of irreversible myocardial injury after the procedure, either percutaneous or surgical, and this, with or without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
