简要总结
This prospective observational study investigates the impact of pulsatile versus non-pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) flow on choroidal circulation in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A total of 104 patients aged 30 to 70 years will be included, with balanced distribution between diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) will be performed preoperatively and at 1 month postoperatively to assess changes in choroidal vascularity. The primary objective is to determine whether the type of CPB flow affects choroidal microcirculation, particularly in diabetic patients. The findings may support more individualized perfusion strategies in patients at risk of ocular microvascular impairment.
详细描述
This prospective observational study aims to investigate the effects of pulsatile and non-pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) flow types on choroidal and retinal microcirculation in diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Previous literature suggests that pulsatile perfusion may enhance end-organ perfusion, but data on ocular microvascular circulation remain scarce, especially in diabetic patients.
A total of 104 patients between the ages of 30 and 70 will be enrolled and divided into four groups based on diabetes status and CPB flow type. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) will be performed preoperatively and at 1 month postoperatively to measure the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) and other retinal microvascular parameters.The primary outcome is the change in CVI between baseline and 1-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes include retinal microvascular changes and comparative analyses between diabetic and non-diabetic groups.By evaluating the relationship between CPB flow type and ocular perfusion, particularly in patients with longstanding diabetes, this study may provide evidence to support individualized CPB strategies to minimize ocular microvascular compromise in cardiac surgery.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Choroidal Vascularity Index (CVI) from Baseline to 1-Month Postoperative
时间窗: 1 month after surgery
CVI will be calculated from OCTA images preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively. Mean change in CVI will be compared between pulsatile and non-pulsatile CPB groups.
次要结局
- Change in Retinal Vascular Density (RVD)(1 month after surgery)
- Change in Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) Area(1 month after surgery)
- Comparison of CVI Change Between Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients(1 month after surgery)
