Redo coronary artery bypass grafting

Arterial or venous conduits for redo coronary artery bypass grafting?

Minimally invasive direct redo coronary artery bypass grafting.

Redo coronary artery bypass grafting due to graft failure and the progression of new lesions has been increasing in frequency recently. We are often forced to revascularize only the left anterior descending artery (LAD) in very elderly patients with a high risk to median sternotomy. We performed reoperative minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCABG) in seven patients. T...

Off-pump redo coronary artery bypass grafting via left thoracotomy.

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the usefulness of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) via left thoracotomy (LT) in redo coronary revascularization. METHODS Over the past 23 years, 21 patients (2.3%) underwent redo coronary revascularization in our hospital. The period between the first and the redo surgeries was 9.1+/-4.4 years. They were divided into two groups according to the method of ...

Redo off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting via left thoracotomy

Methods Between January 2001 and May 2013 thirty patients underwent redo off-pump CABG from descending aorta to circumflex artery and branches via left thoracotomy at our hospital. Of the thirty patients, 26 were male (86.6%) and 4 were female (13.4%) with a mean age of 60.5 years. All patients had patent LIMA-LAD anastomosis. Left thoracotomy was performed through the fifth intercostal space. ...

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

This is one of two coronary revascularisation techniques currently used in the treatment of coronary artery disease, the other being percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The patient will already have had a clinical diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD), confirmed by coronary angiography to delineate the obstruction. If PCI is feasible, it may be performed at the time of coronary angiog...
