Off-pump CABG and Right Axillo-bifemoral Artery Bypass in a Patient with Totally Calcified Ascending Aorta and Leriche's Syndrome.

Background: It has been suggested that off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery reduces myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, postoperative systemic inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to measure serum malondialdehyde (MDA), highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), M30, and M65 levels and to investigate the relationship between M30 levels and oxidative stress and inflammation in patients undergoing onand off-pump CABG surgery. Methods: Fifty patients were randomly assigned to onpump or off-pump CABG surgery (25 patients off-pump and 25 on-pump CABG surgery), and blood samples were collected prior to surgery, and 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 6 hours, and 24 hours after CABG surgery. Results: Compared to the on-pump group, serum MDA levels at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 6 hours, and 24 hours after the CABG surgery were significantly lower in the off-pump group (P = .001, P = .001, P = .001, and P = .001, respectively). Serum M30 levels were found to be elevated in both groups, returning to baseline at 24 hours. When compared to baseline, the hs-CRP level reached its peak at 24 hours at 13.28 ± 5.32 mg/dL in the on-pump group, and 15.44 ± 4.02 mg/dL in the off-pump group. Conclusion: CABG surgery is associated with an increase in inflammatory markers and serum M30 levels, indicating epithelial/endothelial apoptosis in the early period.

Objective Octogenarians, as the fastest growing stratum of the population and with the highest prevalence of coronary artery disease, are being increasingly referred for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The general perception is that the presence of comorbidities and the propensity for neurological injury expose them to a higher risk for mortality and morbidity after conventional on-pump CABG, and therefore, off-pump CABG should be preferentially offered to octogenarians to improve outcomes. This study evaluates the in-hospital outcomes and predictors of mortality and stroke in octogenarians undergoing on- and off-pump CABG at our institution. Methods From January 2000 to December 2010, a total of 290 octogenarians underwent off-pump (n = 217) and on-pump (n = 73) CABG. Their data were prospectively entered into the cardiac surgery database (Patients Analysis & Tracking System; Dendrite Clinical Systems, Ltd, Oxford, England, United Kingdom) and analyzed retrospectively. Outcome measures included in-hospital mortality, major complications, and length of stay. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify predictors of combined outcome of in-hospital mortality and stroke. Results The mean ± SD age of the patients was 82 ± 2.0 years. Preoperative demographics were similar for the on-pump and off-pump groups. The patients who underwent off-pump CABG had a lower number of distal anastomoses performed compared with the patients who underwent on-pump CABG [mean difference, 0.2; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.02–0.4; P = 0.03]. However, the ratio of grafts (received/needed) was the same in both groups. In-hospital mortality for the entire cohort was 7.2%, with no significant difference between the groups for death (6.0% vs 11.0%; P = 0.08), stroke (2.8% vs 2.8%; P = 1.0), other major complications, and length of hospital stay. Independent predictors of combined outcome identified from the multiple logistic model included heart failure [odds ratio (OR), 4.4; 95% CI, 1.5–13.0; P = 0.008], diabetes (OR, 2.6; 95% CI, 1.0–6.0; P = 0.046), nitrate infusion (OR, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.1–8.0; P = 0.04), postoperative renal failure requiring hemofiltration (OR, 8.6; 95% CI, 3.5–21.1; P < 0.001), and postoperative ventricular arrhythmias (OR, 7.3; 95% CI, 1.9–27.8; P = 0.009). Conclusions Both on-pump and off-pump CABG are reasonable revascularization strategies in octogenarians. Careful patient selection and individualized treatment decisions can minimize postoperative mortality and morbidity in octogenarians undergoing on- and off-pump CABG.

The objective: to analyze results of the use of combined anesthesia for coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) in patients with visceral obesity (VO). Subjects and methods. A randomized study of results of surgical treatment in patients with VO and coronary heart disease who underwent off-pump CABG was conducted. 197 patients were included in the study. The main group (n = 98) included patients who underwent combined anesthesia (with thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA)) and patients in the control group (n = 99) underwent total intravenous anesthesia (with narcotic analgesics). Results. In patients from the main group, a significant decrease in the incidence of acute kidney injury (p = 0.0180), respiratory complications (p = 0.0177), atrial and ventricular arrhythmias (p = 0.0029) was recorded. With the use of TEA, the duration of treatment of patients in the intensive care unit (p = 0.0229) and duration of hospital stay (p = 0.0419) significantly decreased. Conclusion: The use of combined anesthesia (with TEA) for off-pump CABG in patients with visceral obesity reduces the risk of early postoperative complications, the duration of hospital stay and treatment in the intensive care unit.

Pump Coronary Artery Bypass

Background Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) without cardiopulmonary bypass (off-pump CABG) may reduce severe adverse events including stroke. Methods In the German Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Elderly patients trial, the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events was compared in 2,394 elderly (≥ 75 years) patients undergoing CABG with (on-pump) or without (off-pump) cardiopulmonary bypass. This exploratory post-hoc analysis investigated the impact of surgical aortic manipulation on the rate of stroke. Results There was no significant difference in the rate of stroke within 30 days after surgery between both groups (off-pump: 2.2%; on-pump: 2.7%; odds ratio [OR]: 0.83 [0.5–1.38]; p = 0.47). Within the off-pump group, different degrees of aortic manipulation did not lead to significant different stroke rates (tangential clamping: 2.3%; OR 0.86 [0.46–1.60]; clampless device: 1.8%; OR 0.67 [0.26–1.75]; no aortic manipulation: 2.4%; OR 0.88 [0.37–2.14]). An aggregate analysis including more than 10,000 patients out of the four recent major trials also yielded comparable stroke rates for on- and off-pump CABG (off-pump: 1.4%; on-pump: 1.7%; OR 0.87 [0.64–1.20]). Conclusion Within recent prospective randomized multicenter trials off-pump CABG did not result in lower stroke rates. The possible intrinsic benefit of off-pump CABG may be offset by the complexity of the operative therapy as well as the multiple pathomechanisms involved in perioperative stroke.

Abstract Objectives Left atrial appendage (LAA) amputation concomitant to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become an increasingly performed technique in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or with sinus rhythm and a CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2. However, LAA amputation has come under suspicion to cause postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) due to left atrial (LA) dilation. This study aims to assess this assumption in patients undergoing CABG in off-pump technique with and without amputation of the LAA. Methods Patients who underwent isolated CABG in off-pump technique without history of AF were retrospectively examined. Cohorts were divided according to the concomitant execution of LAA amputation. LA volume was measured by transthoracic echocardiography and rhythm was analyzed by electrocardiography, medication protocol, and visit documentation. Propensity score (PS) matching was performed based on 20 preoperative risk variables to correct for selection bias. Results A total of 1,522 patients were enrolled, with 1,267 in the control group and 255 in the LAA amputation group. Occurrence of POAF was compared in 243 PS-matched patient pairs. Neither the unmatched cohort (odds ratio [OR] 0.82; 95% confidence interval or CI [0.61; 1.11], p = 0.19) nor the PS-matched cohort (OR 0.94; 95% CI [0.62; 1.41], p = 0.75) showed significant differences in POAF occurrence. Subgroup analysis of sex, use of β-blockers, pulmonary disease, ejection fraction, and CHA2DS2-VASc-Score also showed no tendencies. LA volume did not change significantly (p = 0.18, 95% CI [−0.29; 1.51]). Conclusion Surgical amputation of the LAA concomitant to CABG did not lead to LA dilation and has no significant impact on the occurrence of POAF.

Objective: The Neurological injury is an important complication after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). The incidence of neurocognitive impairment after cardiac surgery varies from 20% to 80%. In this study we tried to analyze this difference of neurologic dysfunction between On-pump CABG and Off-pump CABG (OPCAB).Methods:This is a case control study done in National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (NICVD), Dhaka during the period of July 2012 to June 2014. Sixty Patients with Ischemic heart disease were the study population. Group- A includes 30 patients underwent on pump CABG, Group-B 30 patients underwent OPCAB. All the patients of both the groups were followed up to 2 month’s postoperatively to find out any neurological and neurocognitive dysfunctionby observing motor function, sensory function,Mini Mantel state (MMS) Examination, orientation, memory, attention and calculation, recall and language test.Results: Neurocognitive dysfunction in the early postoperative period is significantly different among the groups.Neurocognitive dysfunction was more in Group A in comparison to Group B, On 3rd and 8th POD the MINI Mental Scores were found to be significantly lower in On-pump group than those in Off-pump group (22.0 ± 5.28 vs. 25.67 ± 3.34, p = 0.002 and 25.93 ± 3.11 vs. 26.63 ± 2.50, p = 0.023 respectively).This neurocognitive dysfunction gradually improved by the end of two month postoperative period. Only 6.66% patient in Group-A was found neurocognitically dysfunctional and was referred to neurophysician for further treatment. In case of OPCAB Group, no patient suffered fromneuorocognitive dysfunction.Conclusion: This study has convincingly shown cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) has had detrimental effect on neurocognitive function in patients who underwent CABG.Cardiovasc. j. 2018; 10(2): 186-193

Abstract Background Myocardial structural damage may occur during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and is identified by the significant release of cardiac biomarkers. However, the evidence of these structural myocardial changes after CABG by current imaging methods remains unknown. To evaluate myocardial structure, we used the T1 mapping of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) before and after on-pump and off-pump CABG. Methods Patients with multivessel coronary artery disease and preserved ventricular function were included and underwent on or off-pump CABG. CMR and T1 mapping were performed using the MOLLI technique (modified Look-Locker inversion-recovery). Values of native T1 and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) were compared before and after on and off-pump procedures. Results Of 110 eligible patients, 34 were excluded due to the presence of new late enhancement or edema. Of 76 patients remained, 32 (42%) underwent on-pump (Group A) and 44 (58%) off-pump CABG (Group B). All baseline characteristics were similar between groups, besides the Syntax Score that was higher in Group A (25 × 21, p=0.002). For group A, native T1 before and after procedures was 1013 ms (998–1043) and 1004 ms (793–1048), p=0.19, and ECV was 26.4 (23.9–27.6) and 31.2 (27.6–33.9), p<0.001. For group B, native T1 before and after procedures was 1015 ms (970–1044) and 992 ms (867–1051), p=0.003, and ECV 27.5 (25.3–29.9) and 30.3 (26.5–34.3), p=0.02. The comparison of native T1 difference before and after procedures between groups A and B was not significant (Delta T1 −9.8 (−102 to 51.8) × −25.4 (−119 to 51,2), p=0.87. However, the difference of ECV between groups was statistically significant (ECV Delta 3.8 (2.2 to 7.1) × 1.3 (−1.1 to 4.9), p=0.039, respectively, for groups A and B. Figure 1 Conclusion In this sample, T1 mapping identified significant myocardial structural changes in both surgical revascularization procedures. Additionally, a marked myocardial injury generated by ECV changes were observed after on-pump CABG.

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.
