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.

Background Clinical outcomes (as national clinical data) of isolated coronary artery bypass grafting have been successively reported, based on data registered in the Japan Cardiovascular Surgery Database, since 2013. In this study, we analysed the clinical results of isolated coronary artery bypass from 2017 to 2018 as a biannual report. Methods Data from the Japan Cardiovascular Surgery Database on isolated coronary artery bypass performed in 2017 and 2018 were reviewed for preoperative characteristics, postoperative outcomes, and choice of graft material for the left anterior descending artery. Results Isolated off-pump coronary artery bypass was performed in 54.6% ( n = 14,684) of all coronary artery bypass cases ( n = 26,913), and graft material for the left anterior descending artery was the left internal thoracic artery in 76.4% of cases and the right internal thoracic artery in 19.0% of cases. Operative mortality was 1.5% in elective cases (on-pump coronary artery bypass 1.9% and off-pump 1.2%, p < 0.001), 7.4% in emergency cases (on-pump 10.2% and off-pump 4.3%, p < 0.001), and 2.5% overall. Postoperative morbidity was generally lower in off-pump coronary artery bypass. The severity of surgery with expected mortality, evaluated using JapanSCORE II, is increasing every year. Conclusions Our findings suggest that short-term operative results for isolated coronary artery bypass are stable, and operative candidates are shifting to higher-risk patients.

Introduction Although it is not a new technique, minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) is employed only by a few surgeons in the UK. We compared our experience with MIDCAB with that of single vessel off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) graft surgery through a standard median sternotomy. Methods Patients who underwent either MIDCAB or OPCAB between April 2008 and July 2011 were reviewed. Exclusion criteria included patients with an ejection fraction of <0.5 or previous cardiac surgery. Data were obtained retrospectively from our prospective database, medical records and through general practitioners. Results Overall, 74 patients were analysed in the MIDCAB group and 78 in the OPCAB group. Their demographics and EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) values were comparable (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the two groups in terms of mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction, postoperative stroke, wound infection, atrial fibrillation or need for reintervention. The MIDCAB group had six conversions to a sternotomy. Eight patients in each group required blood transfusion, with the average transfusion being 1.8 units in the MIDCAB group and 3.2 units in the OPCAB group. The mean duration of ventilation and intensive care unit stay was 5.0 hours and 38.4 hours in the MIDCAB group and 5.4 and 47.8 hours in the OPCAB group. The mean hospital stay was significantly reduced in the MIDCAB population (6.1 vs 8.5 days, p<0.05). Conclusions MIDCAB can be performed safely in appropriately selected patients with outcomes comparable with OPCAB. The potential benefits include shorter hospital stay, reduced need for blood transfusion and faster recovery.

Coronary endarterectomy is first described as an alternative surgical procedure for myocardial revascularization against diffuse coronary artery disease by Baily et al. in 1956. Coronary endarterectomy provides complete surgical revascularization of the myocardium in diffuse and calcified coronary arteries with adequate blood flow to distal part of occluded arteries, thus improving ventricular function. However, the initial outcomes of coronary endarterectomy were not satisfactory but now-a-days different studies have shown that coronary endarterectomy with coronary artery bypass grafting can be done safely with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Moreover, the graft patency rate on angiographic evaluation is also good following coronary endarterectomy. So, it’s time to reevaluate this old techniques, and reanalysis the current outcomes of coronary endarterectomy and readdress its indication in diffuse coronary artery diseaseCardiovasc. j. 2017; 10(1): 84-90

Background: Nonpulsatile blood flow plays an important role in the pathogenesis of renal dysfunction in patients with extracorporeal circulation. In our opinion, hypoxic preconditioning (HP) can be used to protect kidneys from postsurgical dysfunction. The aim of this study was to evaluate nephroprotective efficacy of HP in myocardial revascularization with extracorporeal circulation. Methods: The randomized, controlled trial was performed in 63 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Thirty-three patients were subjected to HP during CABG; 30 patients were included in the comparison group. All patients underwent dynamic renal scintigraphy with 99mТc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid and were subjected to measuring the concentration of lipocalin in blood serum before and after CABG. Results: After CABG, the mean values of the total glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and GFR for each kidney significantly decreased only in patients of the comparison group. Significant increases in the concentration of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin occurred 5 h after surgery both in the group with HP (70.65 ± 46.71 to 127.58 ± 98.46 ng/ml) and in the comparison group (65.01 ± 38.64 to 171.65 ± 89.91 ng/ml). At the same time, the mean difference values between pre- and postoperative lipocalin levels were 56.94 ± 51.75 ng/ml in the study group and 106.64 ± 51.27 ng/ml in the comparison group; these differences were highly statistically significant (р = 0.004). Conclusion: The results of our study showed that (i) HP exerts nephroprotection in patients undergoing on-pump CABG, and (ii) determination of the lipocalin-2 level can be used for early diagnosis of acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery patients.
