Background: Coronary Endarterectomy (CE) is the expulsion of the atheromatous plaque, and isolating the outer media and adventitia layers of arterial wall. Objective of this study was to review the consequences of coronary endarterectomy (CE) with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and demonstrate the outcomes of this surgical technique for patients with diffuse coronary artery disease in a single surgeon’s practice. Methods: Retrospectively outcome of 1473 endarterectomised coronary artery in 1189 patients with diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD) was reviewed, who have had experienced CE with OPCABG in the year of 2007 to 2016. CE was performed in multi-segmental diffuse CAD, or when a calcified or extremely thick plaque making anastomosis troublesome. Results: Approximately 75.0% coronary endarterectomy were performed in the left coronary territory and most commonly left anterior descending artery was endarterectomized (42.83%). An average of 1.2 coronary endarterectomies performed per patient. Post-operative ICU and 30-days mortality rate was 2.2%, and 0.6% respectively in CE group. Post-operative atrial fibrillation, acute MI, neurological complication, and blood transfusion were significantly higher in CE group. Following CE, Kaplan–Meier cumulative survival rate was 89.5%, and about 85% patients were free from angina at follow-up of 5 years. Conclusion: Coronary endarterectomy with OPCABG is attainable, and accomplishes surgical revascularization in patients; when there is no other alternative for total myocardial revascularization.

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 The SYNTAX score is a helpful tool for determining the optimal myocardial revascularization strategy in complex coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to assess whether the SYNTAX score predicts postoperative mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods The study included 1100 consecutive patients referred for coronary artery bypass graft surgery over a 4-year period. Angiographic data were interpreted by both experienced intervention cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. The patients were divided into three groups based on SYNTAX score tertiles: low ≤22 ( n =  560), intermediate 23–32 ( n =  360), and high ≥33 ( n =  180). Results Compared to patients with a low SYNTAX score, those with intermediate and high scores were significantly older ( p <  0.001), had a lower left ventricular ejection fraction ( p <  0.001), higher pulmonary artery pressure ( p <  0.001), and higher incidences of acute coronary syndrome and left main coronary artery disease. A significantly higher EuroSCORE ( p =  0.003) was also observed in patients with a higher SYNTAX score. Patients with intermediate and high SYNTAX scores had higher 5-year mortality rates (18.6% and 19.5%, respectively) than patients with low SYNTAX scores (9.5%, p <  0.05). In multivariate analysis, SYNTAX score was not an independent predictor of late mortality. Conclusion Although SYNTAX score is not independently predictive of late mortality in patients with complex coronary artery disease undergoing myocardial revascularization surgery, patients with lower SYNTAX scores had a lower mortality rate after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a well established treatment modality for coronary artery disease (CAD). However with the trend towards aggressive per cutaneous interventions (PCI) by the cardiologists, more and more patients with poor quality, diffusely diseased coronary arteries are coming for CABG. Quite often these arteries require endarterectomy to ensure revascularisation. Initial experience world wide with coronary endarterectomy was bad enough for many surgeons not advocating it. However recent papers have shown greatly improved results.This was a retrospective study of five hundred consecutive patients undergoing CABG between 19th August 2006 and 1st of July 2008 at Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital and Research Institute (ICHRI). Pre-operative and Intra-operative variables which could influence outcome were analysed. Of the total patients who had at least one endarterectomy done were labeled as Endarterectomy (EA) group, while patients without endarterectomy were labeled as Control group.Post operative outcome showed results comparable to CABG without endarterectomy can be achieved. We have described our selection criteria and surgical technique. Our protocol did not bring about a statistically significant increase in bypass time, cross clamp time. It also did not change the number of grafts per patient.Our experience shows coronary endarterectomy can be done in order to achieve full revascularisation with very safe and acceptable outcome.Key words: CABG; Coronary endarterectomy DOI: 10.3329/uhj.v6i2.7247University Heart Journal Vol. 6, No. 2, July 2010 pp.70-73

Coronary artery disease is one of the commonest surgery demanding cardiovascular diseases. Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is practiced all over the world for the treatment of coronary artery disease. Systemic trauma during the surgery is associated with a wide range of complications, some of which are fatal. Preoperative risk factors such as age, previous illness and obesity are common predictors of these adverse events. Advances in therapeutic medicine have allowed timely treatment of these adverse events and co-morbidities. This review summarizes some of the most occurring complications associated with coronary artery bypass graft and corresponding treatment options.
