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 ...

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. ...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and most developed countries. The majority of deaths are due to coronary artery disease. It is estimated that 419,000 coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures were performed in the United States in 2009 for the surgical treatment of coronary artery disease. Off-pump CABG (without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass...

Evaluating Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Sedrakyan et al.1 The authors found that off-pump surgery was associated with a reduced risk of stroke, atrial fibrillation and surgical wound infections as compared with on-pump. If the results were presented as events, the reductions were translated into 10 fewer patients with stroke, 80 wi...
متن کاملFeasible pericardiotomy for off-pump coronary artery bypass.
Pericardiotomy is the first essential step for the exposure of the coronary artery in off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) via a median sternotomy. After the dissection of the pericardium from the pleura, a longitudinal pericardiotomy from the apex to the aortic reflection was employed. The pericardiotomy was extended transversely to make a trapezoidal flap. By the traction of the left peric...
