- W2023286937 abstract "Background. To achieve complete myocardial revascularization in patients with diffuse coronary artery disease and patients at high risk if they undergo cardiopulmonary bypass such as severe systemic disease or diffuse arteriosclerosis of the aorta, we have adopted the technique of combining direct coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass with transmyocardial laser revascularization.Methods. From April 1995 to September 1997 this technique was used in 77 patients. Ages ranged from 37 to 85 years with a mean of 56 ± 17 years. Diffuse coronary artery lesions were present in 46 patients, 10 had severely deranged renal function, 7 had diffuse carotid artery lesions, and 7 had aortic arch atheromas. Liver dysfunction was present in 4 patients and severe obstructive airway disease in 3. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.45 ± 0.05. Midsternotomy approach was used in 65 patients and anterior minithoracotomy in 12. Direct coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass was done to the left anterior descending coronary artery or right coronary artery or both. Transmyocardial laser revascularization using a 1,000-W CO2 laser machine was performed on the areas supplied by ungraftable coronary arteries or even in graftable distal targets in the posterolateral or inferior wall in patients who were at high risk if they underwent cardiopulmonary bypass.Results. The mean number of vessels bypassed was 1.12. One patient died of intractable ventricular arrhythmia in the early postoperative phase. Mean follow-up was 16.6 months. At 12 months 89% of the patients were angina free. Metabolic stress test demonstrated an average increase in exercise tolerance from 5.2 at baseline to 9.7 minutes at 12 months. Myocardial thallium scanning done at 3-, 6-, and 12-month intervals postoperatively revealed that myocardial perfusion in grafted segments had an exponential trend of improvement, and perfusion in transmyocardial laser revascularization segments showed a linear trend in the same period with a total gain of 28.4%.Conclusions. Transmyocardial laser revascularization is an excellent adjunct to minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting to achieve complete myocardial revascularization in patients with graftable vessels in the anterior wall and ungraftable vessels in the posterior and inferior wall. This achieves complete myocardial revascularization without compromising safety in patients who are at high risk if they undergo cardiopulmonary bypass. Minimal morbidity and mortality in the present series revealed that this procedure is safe, and postoperative follow-up of these patients showed significant functional improvement as well as an improvement in myocardial perfusion scan." @default.
