Teaching Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2009
Off-pump coronary artery revascularization requires a unique skill set and a different conduct of operation compared with on-pump coronary artery bypass. Not only must the surgeon perform anastomoses on the beating heart, but he/she must understand the hemodynamic consequences of cardiac positioning and stabilization, the effects of regional ischemia ...

Thromboelastography in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2014
Background Thromboelastography enables complete evaluation of the process of clot initiation, the structural characteristics of the formed clot and its stability. Many previous studies have assessed the predictive role of thromboelastography in on-pump cardiac surgery, but there are no clear guidelines on its ...

Off-pump redo coronary artery bypass grafting

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2000
Conventional redo coronary artery bypass grafting is associated with significant morbidity. The danger of reoperation is mainly in reopening the sternum and in the manipulation of the heart and the old grafts. Therefore, off-pump redo coronary artery bypass grafting with a patient-specific approach in selected cases seems an ideal technique.Between ...

Urgent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002
The use of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become widespread, since it has proven less invasive and to promote early recovery. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of off-pump CABG in patients in the evolving phase of acute myocardial infarction.Retrospective chart review was carried out for patients undergoing urgent ...

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting: Exposure, stabilization, and strategy

2021
Off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB), either via median sternotomy or via left anterior small thoracotomy, can now be accomplished with the help of the newly manufactured stabilization devices from diverse companies. Furthermore, heart positioners have evolved and provide cardiac tissue capture through gentle vacuum compression on the apex, enabling

Current Readings on Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013
Historically, the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in performing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been the "gold standard" in coronary revascularization. However, with greater understanding of the inflammatory effects of CPB and the increased risks of strokes in atherosclerotic or calcified aortas, there has been a growing interest in less-

Current Status of Off-Pump Coronary-Artery Bypass

New England Journal of Medicine, 2012
Until the mid-1990s, coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) was performed with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass with the induction of ischemic cardiac arrest (on-pump). This surgical approach provided excellent exposure in a bloodless field with an arrested heart, allowing for precise performance of coronary anastomoses.1 However, there was concern ...

[Off-pump coronary artery bypass].

Polski merkuriusz lekarski : organ Polskiego Towarzystwa Lekarskiego, 2007
Development of beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery was possible since introduction of heart stabilizing instruments in mid-90's.To summarize available evidence of benefits of beating heart coronary artery bypass surgery in comparison with use of cardiopulmonary bypass during surgery.

CORONARY ARTERY SPASM AFTER OFF‐PUMP CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING

ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2007
Background:  Coronary artery spasm (CAS) in the immediate postoperative period has been recognized as a possible cause for perioperative myocardial ischaemia after off‐pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It varies in severity and can be associated with circulatory collapse and death.

Integrated approach to off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery

Cardiovascular Surgery, 2003
Background: The Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass (OPCAB) technique is becoming more popular in many cardiac units throughout the world. This relatively new technique has prompted surgeons and anaesthetists to review and modify the routine approach to Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG).
