Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) using short-scar incision (without median sternotomy) allows minimizing the invasiveness of the intervention, reducing the risks of postoperative complications, and also ensuring patient comfort and quick social and physical rehabilitation. The successful implementation of such operations is due not only to surgical skills and the integration of technological achievements into practice, but also to the appropriate selection of patients. The article presents a clinical case of successful re-operation of the subclavian-coronary artery bypass grafting on a beating heart using antero-lateral thoracotomy approach in a patient with angina relapse after CABG.

Background: One of the most undesired complications after open heart operations is bleeding. In our study, we set ourselves two different goals: examining ‘Papworth, Will-Bleed, Track and Trust’ bleeding scoring systems to determine the most predictive one among diabetic patients undergoing isolated coronary bypass surgery, and determining the variables that should be included in the new scoring systems to be established for this patient group. Methods: The files of 297 diabetic patients who underwent isolated coronary artery bypass operation between 2017-2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent emergency surgery with a beating heart, those with reoperated open hart surgery, those with ticagrelor use, and those who died within the first 24 postoperative hours were excluded from the study. Drainage from the thorax and mediastinal tubes and blood product transfusions to the patients within the first 24 hours were noted and analyzed according to scoring systems. Results: Scoring systems are evaluated based on ‘European Multicenter Study on Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Bleeding Severity (E-CABG)’. In this study including diabetic patients only, Papworth was better predictive of E-CABG bleeding Grade 2-3. We found that Will-Bleed, Track, Trust, the other scoring systems we examined had discriminatory value in terms of E-CABG bleeding Grade 2-3 in our study group. Among the parameters in the scoring systems, we concluded that gender, preoperative hemoglobin (or hematocrit) value, preoperative platelet count, use of antiplatelets until less than five days prior to the operation, and preoperative creatinine (or eGFR) values should be included in the scoring system we aim to establish in the future, called the “Optimum Risk Score for Bleeding (ORS).” Conclusion: Considering the possible risks of bleeding and blood product transfusion, scoring systems that will provide accurate results for patient blood management will be lifesaving and increase the cost-effectiveness of the treatment.

Coronary–coronary bypass graft was first performed by Rowland and Grooters. This technique can be performed between two segments of the same coronary artery using saphenous vein grafts or free arterial grafts in on/off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting, also can be an alternative safe technique in some cases as calcified ascending aorta, porcelain aorta and insufficient graft length. The coronarycoronary bypass graft can provide nearly the same flow rate as conventional coronary artery bypass graft, another advantage this technique is that we can use to decrease sternal and respiratory morbidity. we performed this technique to a 55-year-old woman to whom coronary angiography showed critical three-vessel disease, using a free segment of right internal mammary artery, combined to conventional coronary artery bypass graft. The postoperative course was uneventful with the absence of ischemic lesions and the grafts were patent at 6 months after procedure.

Abstract Concomitant lung transplantation and coronary artery bypass grafting operation became more prevalent over the last decade due to the advanced age of recipients. Median sternotomy approach is traditionally used when internal thoracic artery is utilized. Here we report a technique of harvesting the left internal thoracic artery via a clamshell incision for a combined coronary artery bypass and bilateral lung transplant operation in a 71-year-old male with terminal respiratory failure and coronary artery disease.

Abstract Background Widespread use of intraoperative epicardial ultrasonography (ECUS) for quality assessment of coronary artery bypass graft anastomoses during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has not occurred - presumably due to technological and practical challenges including the need to maintain stable and optimal acoustic contact between the ultrasound probe and the target without the risk of distorting the anastomosis. We investigated the feasibility of using a stabilizing device during ultrasound imaging of distal coronary bypass graft anastomoses in patients undergoing on-pump CABG. Imaging was performed in both the longitudinal and transverse planes. Methods Single-centre, observational prospective feasibility study among 51 patients undergoing elective, isolated on-pump CABG. Ultrasonography of peripheral coronary bypass anastomoses was performed using a stabilizing device upon which the ultrasound transducer was connected. Transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) was also performed. Descriptive statistical tests were used. Results Longitudinal and transverse images from the heel, middle and toe were obtained from 134 of 155 coronary anastomoses (86.5%). After the learning curve (15 patients), all six projections were obtained from 100 of 108 anastomoses scanned (93%). Failure to obtain images were typical due to a sequential curved graft with anastomoses that could not be contained in the straight cavity of the stabilizing device, echo artefacts from a Titanium clip located in the roof of the anastomoses, and challenges in interpreting the images during the learning curve. No complications were associated with the ECUS procedure. The combined ECUS and TTFM resulted in immediate revision of five peripheral anastomoses. Conclusions Peroperative use of a stabilizing device during ultrasonography of coronary artery bypass anastomoses in on-pump surgery facilitates imaging and provides surgeons with non-deformed longitudinal and transverse images of all parts of the anastomoses in all coronary territories. Peroperative ECUS in addition to flow measurements has the potential to increase the likelihood of detecting technical errors in constructed anastomoses. Trial registration The study was registered on September 29, 2016, ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02919124.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), reported by Cleveland Clinic surgeon René Favaloro in 1969, represented a new approach to treating angina pectoris that involved operating directly on a diseased coronary artery. The strategy involved inserting a vein segment between the aorta and a coronary artery. This bypass graft carried blood to heart muscle that would normally have been supplied by a blocked coronary artery. CABG caught on quickly because it seemed to improve angina in a significant percentage of patients and produced income for surgeons and hospitals. But controversy surrounded the value of the operation, and Mayo heart specialists joined others in calling for controlled clinical trials to evaluate it. The Cleveland Clinic group initially resisted trials, claiming that their institutional experience proved that the operation was beneficial. In less than a decade, coronary bypass surgery was associated with a total annual cost of about $1 billion in America.

Management in patients with coexisting coronary artery disease and lung carcinoma is usually a two-stage operation, with the cardiac surgery procedure followed by pulmonary resection at a later time. Delayed tumor resection on the other hand may be detrimental. Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting could facilitate concomitant lung resection at one stage via median sternotomy. T-bar retractor may be a useful tool in the surgical approach of this combined operation.

Abstract Background Management of patients treated with ticagrelor is challenging, as stopping Ticagrelor prior to coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG) may increase the risk of acute stent thrombosis. The aim of the study was to compare bleeding complications in patients treated with ticagrelor combined with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) until one day before surgery versus ASA alone. Methods Bleeding complications, defined as the composite of red blood cells transfusion ≥ 1000ml, chest drainage ≥ 2000ml, and bleeding requiring surgical re-exploration, were compared in 161 patients, 101 on preoperative acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) alone (group A) and 65 on ticagrelor + ASA (group B). Results There were no differences in bleeding complications between the two groups (26% vs. 27% in group A and B, respectively), with similar chest drainage in the first 24 hours (569 ± 393ml and 649 ± 427ml, respectively). Conclusions Continuing ticagrelor until coronary artery bypass surgery was not associated with increased bleeding complications, suggesting that with appropriate perioperative management, continuing ticagrelor until surgery may be safe.
