Role of IABP in OPCAB - a vettath’s modification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background In off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery, the most critical complication is hemodynamic deterioration, which can occur during displacement of the heart to expose the target vessels. Pre-operative intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) therapy has shown to improve cardiac performance and facilitates access to the target coronary artery while maintaining hemodynamic stability, especially in high-risk patients. But the need for using IABP in the so called high risk patients has been questioned in our group of patients. We have therefore modified the role of IABP in our OPCAB patients, thereby avoiding the conversion to heart lung machine.

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the usefulness of elective intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) in high-risk off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 2002 through September 2006, total of 143 patients were operated with OPCAB. These patients were divided into two groups and clinical outcomes were compared: Group E (N = 30): Elective IABP group and Gro...

BACKGROUND Intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) markedly increases graft flow after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass. We sought to delineate the effects of IABP on graft flow after off-pump CABG (OPCAB). METHODS The clinical records of 32 patients (25 male, 7 female; mean age: 70 ± 9 years) who underwent OPCAB with IABP between January 2011 and May 2015 were r...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the safety and the cost-effectiveness of using preoperative IABP as support compared with postoperative IABP treatment in coronary patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction (SLVD) who is undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB), including early outcomes, hospital mortality and morbidity, and mid-term follow-up...
متن کاملPreoperative intra-aortic balloon pump improves the clinical outcomes of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting in left ventricular dysfunction patients
Severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) are often associated with a higher mortality. The efficacy and safety of the preoperative prophylactic intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) insertion is not well established. 416 consecutive patients with severe LV dysfunction (ejection fraction ≤35%) undergoing isolated OPCAB were enrolled...
متن کاملRe-engineering in OPCAB—A Vettath’s perspective
OPCAB (off pump coronary artery bypass) has become a preferred technique of coronary revascularization in India, and more so in the East. This technique was restarted by Buffalo and Bennetti who had published their results in 1985. Since then, there has been a great enthusiasm among coronary surgeons to develop and standardize this technique of CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting). In the lat...
