Surgical techniques aimed at complete myocardial revascularization without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass are described. Between January 1998 and June 2000, coronary artery bypass was performed in 3,003 patients; an off-pump technique was used in 676 and cardiopulmonary bypass was employed in 2,327. Patient characteristics, demography, and preoperative risk factors of the two groups were compared retrospectively, and differences in operative variables and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. Using a commercially available suction stabilization device and the surgical and anesthetic techniques described herein, off-pump coronary revascularization was accomplished with results comparable to the on-pump approach.

Randomized Clinical Study

Background: This prospective non-randomized clinical study was done to compare Off-pump and Onpump myocardial revascularization by Troponin I release in patients undergoing first elective coronary artery bypass graft used to evaluate myocardial injury.Methods: One hundred an twenty patients were non-randomly assigned to a Off-pump or On-pump myocardial revascularization group. Cardiac Troponin I (CTnI) were measured in serial venous blood samples drawn preoperatively in both groups. In On-pump group after aortic unclamping at 12 and 24 hours and in Off-pump group after the last distal anastomosis at 12 and 24 hours.Results: The total amount of CTnI release were significantly higher in On-pump group than in Off-pump group. In On-pump group it was 2.1±1.9 (mean±SD) ng/ml vs in Off-pump group it was 1.0±1.7 (mean±SD) ng/ml at 12 hours and in On-pump group it was 1.6±1.6 (mean±SD) ng/ml vs in Off-pump group it was .9±1.6 (mean±SD) ng/ml at 24 hours (P<0.0001 for the pattern).Conclusion: The lower release of CTnI in the Off-pump myocardial revascularization group indicates that the arrested heart coronary revascularization group causes more damage to the heart due to cardiopulmonary bypass than Off-pump myocardial revascularization group.

Abstract Purpose Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is performed either with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump) or without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump). There is a scarcity of angiographic data to support the non-inferiority of off-pump technique to on-pump technique. The objective of this study is to ascertain the non-inferiority of off-pump CABG when compared to on-pump CABG in terms of angiographically assessed graft patency at 3 months. Methods A total of 320 patients with multivessel coronary artery disease were enrolled in a multicenter prospective randomized trial either to on-pump CABG (n = 162) or off-pump CABG (n = 158) between March 2016 through March 2017. Graft patency was evaluated by using either multidetector computerized tomographic angiography or conventional coronary angiography at 3 months. The major adverse cardiac and cardiovascular events (MACCE) were also analyzed at 3 months. Results The median number of grafts per patient in off-pump was 3.00 (Q1:3.00 and Q3:4.00) vs on-pump 4.00 (Q1:3.00 to Q3:4.00), and the mean number of grafts per patient was lower in the off-pump CABG at 3.45 ± 0.75 vs 3.64 ± 0.70 in the on-pump CABG (p = 0.01). There was no significant difference in mortality at 3 months between the off-pump (0.63%) and on-pump groups (1.85%) with p value of 0.62. The cumulative combined MACCE showed significant difference between off-pump group (0.63%) and on-pump group (5.55%), p = 0.01. Follow-up angiograms were done in 239 (75%) patients with 120 off-pump and 119 in the on-pump group. The analysis was also done regarding graft patency in a graded manner—when analysis of A (excellent) grafts vs B (stenosed) grafts and O (occluded) grafts were made, there was no statistically significant difference in overall graft patency at 3 months between on-pump [376 /429 grafts (87.6%)] and off-pump [366 /420 grafts (87.1%)] groups (p = 0.82). The patency rates were similar among bypass conduits (left internal thoracic artery (ITA) in off-pump (91.4%) vs on-pump (92.9%) p = 0.66, right ITA in off-pump (82.1%) vs on-pump (81.8%) p = 0.97, radial artery in off-pump (84.4%) vs on-pump (82.6%) p = 0.81; saphenous vein in off-pump (85.8%) vs on-pump (86.3%), p = 0.86 and among 3 coronary territories. Conclusions Off-pump CABG is non-inferior to on-pump CABG in terms of overall graft patency at 3 months and was associated with a fewer combined cumulative MACCE compared to on-pump CABG.

An investigation was conducted to compare several variables of off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) procedures with those using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for myocardial revascularization by two surgeons. The patients were divided into four groups: group 1 patients received CPB for their myocardial revascularization performed by surgeon A; group 2 patients received the OPCAB procedure performed by surgeon A; group 3 patients received CPB for their myocardial revascularization performed by surgeon B; and group 4 received the OPCAB procedure performed by surgeon B. The same anesthesia technique and postoperative management were employed for all patients in this study. The CPB procedures received the same perfusion circuit and conduct. Postoperative laboratory values, including hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelet counts for the OPCAB groups, were higher than the CPB groups. Chest tube drainage was similar for both the OPCAB and CPB groups, but postoperative urine outputs were significantly higher in the CPB groups for both surgeons. Positive fluid balance was statistically greater in the CPB groups compared to the OPCAB groups for both surgeons. Ventilator times, length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and length of hospital stay were not statistically significant for the groups in this study. Postoperative weight gain for both surgeons was higher in the CPB groups. Intraoperative packed red blood cell (PRBC) usage for surgeon B was similar for both the OPCAB and CPB groups, but the OPCAB group for surgeon A had greater intraoperative PRBC usage than the CPB group.

Targeted Approach

Records of 86 patients who underwent off-pump redo coronary revascularization between December 1997 and December 2000, were analyzed. Approaches included median sternotomy (47), anterolateral thoracotomy for left anterior descending artery and diagonal targets (35), posterolateral thoracotomy for the obtuse marginal with proximal anastomosis on descending aorta (3), and a combined subxiphoid-anterior thoracotomy approach (1) for right gastroepiploic artery-to-left anterior descending artery anastomosis. The mean age was 61.82 years. There were 2 (2.3%) operative deaths. Complications included perioperative myocardial infarction in 4 patients and reexploration for bleeding in one. Blood transfusion was required in 12 patients. The mean length of hospital stay was 5 ± 2 days. A multimodality targeted approach for off-pump redo coronary artery bypass offers a less invasive but safer method of myocardial revascularization, with decreased complications, lower blood product requirement, and early hospital discharge.

Objective There is a growing body of evidence favoring off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB) over traditional coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass as a method for reducing perioperative neurologic events. Aortic manipulation, whether with OPCAB or coronary artery bypass surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, is strongly linked with adverse neurologic outcomes. Although the aortic “no-touch” technique has merit, most cardiac surgeons are reluctant to base entire myocardial revascularization exclusively on mammary pedicles. The purpose of this study was to analyze our experience with OPCAB combined with the use of a Heartstring proximal anastomotic device, as a strategy for reducing clinically evident cerebrovascular accidents. Methods Two hundred twenty-seven consecutive isolated OPCAB were performed without the use of a side-biting aortic clamp. In all these operations, a Heartstring device was used, permitting clampless hand-sutured proximal anastomoses. All patients were managed in this fashion regardless of the status of their ascending aorta. A mean of 3.4 bypasses were performed during each operation, with one or two mammary arteries harvested routinely. In 98% of patients, a single proximal anastomosis was performed; there was liberal use of sequential bypass grafts. Results Mean age was 69.3 years, with 17% octogenarians. Preexisting cerebrovascular disease was present in 22.4% of patients. There were no clinically evident perioperative neurologic events in any patients. There were no operative deaths. Conclusions This series suggests that OPCAB performed with a single, clampless, proximal aortic anastomosis, and with a Heartstring device may protect against perioperative strokes.

The OBJECTIVE was to demonstrate perioperative outcomes and angiographic graft patency rates in the mediumterm period in patients after multivessel minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS CABG) procedures.MATERIAL AND METHODS. In the period from 2014 to 2019, 270 patients with stable forms of coronary artery disease were operated on. All patients received left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and venous or arterial (radial artery) grafts. Off-pump surgery was performed in 264 cases (97.8 %). 127 patients underwent CT-bypass angiography (CT-BA) on a 128-slice computed tomography at least after 1 year after the operation. Mean follow-up duration was (30.3±7.9) months.RESULTS. All patients received full myocardial revascularization. Mean number of grafts was (2.6±0.5). Perioperative mortality rate was 0.4 % (1 patient). Perioperative myocardial infarctions or cerebrovascular accident occurred in 3 (1.1 %) and 1 (0.4 %) patients. Overall graft patency rate in examined patients was 89.8 % (290 of 323). At the time of LITA, the patency of mammary grafts was 98.4 % (124 of 126), venous graft –84.0 % (163 of 194) and radial artery grafts – 100 % (3 of 3).CONCLUSION. MICS CABG was safe and effective and was characterized by minimal rate of perioperative complications. This procedure allowed to achieve complete revascularization of the myocardium without sternotomy and could be performed off-pump (in most cases). MICS CABG provide excellent long-term graft patency rates.The authors declare no conflict of interest.The authors confirm that they respect the rights of the people participated in the study, including obtaining informed consent when it is necessary, and the rules of treatment of animals when they are used in the study.

Objective: To compare the intraoperative quality of coronary anastomoses performed with or without cardiopulmonary bypass using transit time flow measurement (TTFM) parameters. Methods: We collected data from 588 consecutive patients who underwent surgical revascularization. We retrospectively reviewed data from two groups: 411 with cardiopulmonary bypass (CABG group) and 177 off-pump (OPCABG group). Transit time flow measurement parameters: mean graft flow (MGF), pulsatile index (PI), and diastolic filing (DF) were measured for each graft and patient. Results: Patients in the OPCABG group had higher EuroSCORE compared with the CABG group (3.53 ± 2.32 versus 2.84 ± 2.15, P = .002). Overall comparison of TTFM parameters showed no statistical difference between the two surgical techniques except for PI in circumflex artery territory, which was higher in the OPCABG group for all types of grafts 3.0 ± 4.9 versus 2.4 ± 2.0 in, P = .026. Conclusion: The comparison between OPCABG and CABG in this study showed comparable results with both surgical techniques. PI was higher in the OPCABG group in harder-to-reach vessel territories. Measurement of transit time may improve the quality, safety, and efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting and should be considered as a routine procedure.

Background:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common postoperative supraventricular arrhythmi. 20% to 40% of patients have AF after coronary artery bypass operation (CABG).Arrhythmia of all grades may occur due to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and injuries inflicted during operativeprocedures. Thus it has been proposed that CABG surgery would be safer if CPB could be avoided.Methods:Total 60 patients who underwentCABG were selected for the study and divided in two groups. Group A: 30 patients with Off-pump CABG (OPCAB) and Group B: 30 patients with On-pump CABG. 12 lead ECG was done at morning on the day of surgery, after surgery & when any arrhythmia are noted for at least 7days. Morbidity of patients like arrhythmia and hospital mortality were recorded and compared during the first week after surgery.Results:Off-pump group (group- A) had less incidence of post-operative AF than on-pump group(group-B) (10% vs 40%). Postoperative blood requirement,total operative time, the period of mechanical ventilation,ICU stay and total postoperative hospital stayis significantly shorter in off-pump than in on-pump group of patients.Conclusion: This study clearly demonstrates that off pump CABG procedure is associated with less incidence of AF. Therefore OPCAB procedure for myocardial revascularization is clearly justified whenever feasible.Cardiovasc. j. 2018; 10(2): 171-179
