Defining the Role of Anaortic Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

As the population ages and co-morbidities become more prevalent, the complexity of patients presenting for coronary artery bypass surgery is increasing. Cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamping in these patients carry increased risk and, indeed, in some patients, with ascending aortic disease, the risks are prohibitive. Total-arterial anaortic coronary artery surgery is a technique that provides complete surgical coronary artery revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass and without manipulating the ascending aorta.

Background: There is ongoing debate regarding the optimal strategy and timing for the surgical management of patients with severe concomitant carotid and coronary artery disease. Anaortic off-pump coronary artery bypass (anOPCAB), which avoids aortic manipulation and cardiopulmonary bypass, has been shown to reduce the risk of perioperative stroke. We present the outcomes of a series of synchronous carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and anOPCAB.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to assess how different coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) configurations impact blood flow and graft success, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to aid surgical decision-making.
  • Sixteen surgeons evaluated preferred grafting strategies for patients with severe coronary artery disease, comparing standard 'aortic' approaches to 'anaortic' techniques that minimize aortic manipulation.
  • Results showed that 'anaortic' configurations were more likely to result in unsatisfactory grafts without CFD guidance, but the use of predictive models significantly improved surgeon decisions, particularly for 'anaortic' approaches.
