Teaching Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2009Off-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, 2014Background 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, 2000Conventional 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, 2002The 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 ...

Current Status of Off-Pump Coronary-Artery Bypass
New England Journal of Medicine, 2012Until 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 ...

Current Readings on Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2013Historically, 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-

Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in octogenarians
The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2003Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has become accepted for myocardial revascularization because it reduces perioperative morbidity. We assessed the safety and efficacy of bypass surgery on the beating heart in elderly patients.Off-pump CABG was done in 25 patients aged 80 years or older between February 1996 and February 2001.

Anesthesia for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2003Off-pump coronary artery bypass presents special challenges for the anesthesiologist and surgeon, who must work closely together to provide optimal care. Displacement and immobilization of the heart for exposure of the coronary arteries, as well as occlusion of these vessels, can result in periods of significant hemodynamic instability.

CORONARY ARTERY SPASM AFTER OFF‐PUMP CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING
ANZ Journal of Surgery, 2007Background: 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.
