Objective Previous studies have shown that women carry a higher risk of morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass surgery. We investigated gender differences in risk factors and outcomes in our patients undergoing robotic beating heart connector totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass. Methods From July 2013 to April 2017, patients undergoing connector totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass were reviewed. We compared the outcomes of men versus women. Results A total of 192 men and 71 women underwent connector totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass. The mean ± SD age was 65.4 ± 10.6 years. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons score was higher in women than men (median = 1.46 vs 0.73, P = 0.001), and women had a higher rate of peripheral vascular disease (22.5% vs 9.9%, P = 0.007). Intraoperative data in women and men were similar except for the rate of multi-vessel connector totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass and the rate of bilateral internal mammary artery use, which were both lower in women (49.3% vs 64.6%, P = 0.024, and 42.3% vs 56.8%, P = 0.036, respectively). The mean ± SD length of hospital stay (women vs men: 3.99 ± 4.00 vs 3.39 ± 2.42, P = 0.324) was comparable. The 30-day mortality in women and men was 0% (0/71) and 2.1% (4/192), respectively ( P = 0.577). The morbidity and mortality of single- or multi-vessel connector totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass were similar between men and women. Conclusions We conclude that the morbidity and mortality in women after robotic beating heart connector totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass in our center were similar to those seen in men.

Background Surgical site infections can have a significant impact on cardiac surgical outcome. The liver plays an important role in infection prevention. This study aimed to retrospectively determine whether transient postoperative liver dysfunction after coronary bypass surgery increased surgical site infections. Methods A modified version of the Schindl scoring scale for liver dysfunction was adapted to objectively quantify transient liver dysfunction in the first 7 days after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. A retrospective analysis of clinical outcomes at 30 months postoperatively was performed on data of 575 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass between 2014 and 2016. The patients were categorized into a liver dysfunction group (Schindl score ≥ 4) and a non-liver dysfunction group (Schindl score < 4). Results The liver dysfunction group (47.3%) had significantly more patients who were obese, current smokers, and had diabetes, renal impairment, and peripheral vascular disease. Surgical site infections occurred predominantly in the liver dysfunction group (12.1% vs. 0.3%, p < 0.001). The independent predictors of surgical site infection were liver dysfunction, body mass index > 30 kg m−2, and coronary bypass surgery combined with other cardiac procedures. Conclusions Surgical wound infections can be precipitated by multiple factors before, during, and after coronary bypass surgery. Transient liver dysfunction in the perioperative period is associated with an increased rate of surgical infections even after adjusting for known risk factors. Considering this factor as well as other known risks may help to identify and stratify patients with a potentially higher risk of surgical site infections.

A review of the available domestic and foreign literary sources is presented concerning factors affecting the working capacity of persons after coronary artery bypass grafting. It was found that in Russia, after surgical treatment of coronary heart disease, there is an increase in the number of disabled people compared to foreign data. In recent years, there has been an increase in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery. However, this did not reduce the increasing number of disabled people after coronary artery bypass grafting, which does not correspond to the initial expectations about the cost-effectiveness of this type of surgery. According to Russian researchers, the proportion of persons with disabilities referred for surgical myocardial revascularization was 39.0-42.5%. Subsequently, this indicator increased to 64.0%. In other countries, the dynamics are different. Among patients under 60 years of age who underwent surgical treatment of coronary artery disease, more than half returned to work. In general, labour activity was restored by 67.5%, and the number of disabled persons decreased from 56.0 to 42.0%. Social and medical factors were assessed to establish the causes of disability after coronary artery bypass grafting. World experience testifies to the critical role of state social support in preserving the labour status of patients, which ultimately justifies the economic costs of surgical treatment. To assess the degree of disability after coronary artery bypass grafting, social status before surgical treatment of coronary heart disease, and the severity of comorbid pathology. To increase the economic efficiency of coronary bypass surgery, it is necessary to organize an affordable and effective rehabilitation program, uniform criteria for referring patients to medical and social expertise.

Renal transplantation is successfully implemented in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery. We performed concomitant coronary bypass surgery and renal transplantation in a patient found to have a left main coronary artery lesion after coronary angiography, which was performed in our clinic during preoperative evaluation of renal transplantation. We suggest the application of coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) or stent implantation 2 months after renal transplantation in asymptomatic patients with coronary artery disease. But, if severe coronary artery disease is detected in symptomatic patients, we suggest the concurrent application CABG and renal transplantation.

The aim of this study was to assess the possible reasons for not returning to work after coronary artery bypass surgery. A total of 134 patients (aged 65 years and younger) who underwent coronary bypass surgery in 2003 were examined. The analysis was performed in three groups of the patients: Group I, patients who were employed before surgery and returned to work after it (n=51); Group II, patients who were employed before surgery but did not return to work after surgery (n=55); and Group III, patients who were unemployed before and remained unemployed after surgery due to health problems (n=28). Number of injured coronary arteries, the extent of operation, postoperative complications, risk factors for ischemic heart disease, clinical status of patients (angina pain and heart failure), physical tolerance, and return to work within one year after coronary bypass surgery were analyzed. It was found that 48.1% of patients who were employed before surgery returned to work after myocardial revascularization. About 30% of patients experienced recurrent symptoms of angina after 12 months. Logistic regression analysis revealed that return to work was significantly influenced by female gender, physical pattern of work, age, and severity of heart failure.

<strong>Background</strong>: Minimally invasive bypass grafting surgery has entered the clincal routine in several centers around the world, with an increasing popularity in the last decade. In our study, we aimed to make a comparison between minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting surgery and conventional bypass grafting surgery in isolated proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) lesions. <br /><strong>Methods</strong>: Between January 2004 and December 2011, patients with proximal LAD lesions, who were treated with robotically assisted minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery and conventional bypass surgery, were included in the study. In Group 1, coronary bypass with cardiopulmonary bypass and complete sternotomy were applied to 35 patients and in Group 2, robotically assisted minimally invasive bypass surgery was applied to 35 patients. The demographic, preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative data were collected retrospectively.<br /><strong>Results</strong>: The mean follow-up time of the conventional bypass group was 5.7 ± 1.7 years, whereas this ratio was 7.3 ±1.3 in the robotic group. There was no postoperative transient ischemic attack (TIA), wound infection, mortality, or need for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) in any of the patients. In the conventional bypass group, blood transfusion and ventilation time were significantly higher (P &lt; .05) than in the robotic group. The intensive care unit (ICU) stay and hospital stay were remarkably shorter in the robotic group <br />(P &lt; .01). The postoperative pneumonia rate was significantly higher (20%) in the conventional bypass group <br />(P &lt; .01). Postoperative day 1 pain score was higher in the robotic group (P &lt; .05), however, postoperative day 3 pain score in the conventional bypass group was higher (P &lt; .05). Graft patency rate was 88.6% in the conventional bypass group whereas this ratio was 91.4% in the robotic bypass group, which was not clinically significant (P &gt; .05).<br /><strong>Conclusion</strong>: In isolated proximal LAD stenosis, robotic assisted minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting surgery requires less blood products, is associated with shorter ICU and hospital stay, and lesser pain in the early postoperative period in contrast to conventional surgery. The result of our studies, which showed similarities to the past studies, lead us to recognize the importance of minimally invasive interventions and the need to perform them more frequently in the future.

Closed-chest totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (TECAB) is feasible using robotic technology. During the early phases, TECAB was restricted to single bypass grafts to the left anterior descending artery system. Because most patients referred for coronary artery bypass surgery have multivessel disease, development of endoscopic multiple bypass grafting is mandatory. Experimental work on multivessel TECAB was carried out in the early 2000s, and first clinical cases were already performed. With further technological development of operating robots, double, triple, and quadruple TECAB has become feasible both on the arrested heart and on the beating heart. To date, 161 cases of multivessel TECAB using the da Vinci telemanipulation systems are published in the literature. The main advances enabling multivessel TECAB were the availability of a robotic endostabilizer for beating heart procedures and increased surgeon skills using remote access heart-lung machine perfusion and endo-cardioplegia. Both internal mammary arteries can be harvested and both radial artery and vein graft can be used in multivessel TECAB. Y-grafting and sequential grafting are feasible. Multivessel endoscopic surgical revascularization can be combined with percutaneous coronary interventions in advanced hybrid coronary revascularization. Time requirements for multivessel TECAB are significant, and conversion rates to larger thoracic incisions are higher than those observed for single-vessel TECAB. Clinical short- and long-term outcomes, however, seem to meet the standards of open coronary bypass surgery through sternotomy. The main advantages of multivessel TECAB are a completely preserved sternum, use of double internal mammary artery even in risk groups, and a remarkably short recovery time.
