A SINGLE CENTRE EXPERIENCE WITH CORONARY ENDARTERECTOMY IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING OFF-PUMP CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is one of the most frequently done cardiac surgical procedures. However, with the advancements in catheter-based interventional procedures, the category of patients taken up for CABG is gradually being restricted to more high-risk group. Additional surgical procedures like Coronary Endarterectomy (CE) are needed for treating such high-risk coronary artery disease to achieve complete revascularisation. Off-pump coronary endarterectomy can be performed safely with morbidity and mortality comparable with those of conventional coronary endarterectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a single institutional retrospective study with 480 patients underwent concomitant off-pump CE and CABG. Average number of coronary bypass grafts were 2.4±0.8. There were 321 cases of LAD endarterectomy with 246 receiving LIMA as the arterial graft. 2.9% patients were converted to on-pump surgery intraoperatively because of intraoperative hypotension. RESULTS The incidence of postoperative MI was 0.8%. The 30-day mortality was 0.8% from complications of bowel ischaemia and three patients with septicaemia associated with prolonged intubation. The mean operating time was 118±22 minutes. CONCLUSION We have shown that the effect of OPCABG with CE appears to be safe and early outcomes are encouraging. Hence, diffuse disease requiring endarterectomy should not be considered a contraindication to OPCABG. Surgical skills and the suitability criteria of the patients are very important in this regard.
