Redo off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting via left thoracotomy

چکیده
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. Saphenous vein (6) or radial artery (24) was prepared as grafts at the same time with thoracotomy from the contralateral extremity without any positional problem.

We performed redo-off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting( OPCAB) via a left thoracotomy using the PAS-Port system for proximal vein graft anastomoses in a patient with posterolateral myocardial ischemia. The patient was a 76-year-old man who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)[ left internal thoracic artery( LITA)-left anterior descending artery( LAD), saphenous vein graft(SV...

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 ...

متن کاملSafe approach for redo coronary artery bypass grafting--preventing injury to the patent graft to the left anterior descending artery.
OBJECTIVE In redo coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), repeat median sternotomy is a routine approach when the graft to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is occluded. However, it is important to avoid injury to the patent graft to LAD during repeat sternotomy. We retrospectively reviewed our cases to assess our combined strategy for a safer redo CABG. METHODS The study group compri...

Introduction: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is considered to be the single most important prognostic factor in patients with previous myocardial infarction. LVEF is not improved in all patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aimed to assess the possibility of prediction of LVEF changes after CABG using myocardial perfusion gated signle photon emission compu...
