Multivessel off-pump revascularization in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction

Abstract: We conclude that multivessel off-pump revascularization in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction is a safe and effective alternative to conventional grafting. Long-term follow-up is mandatory to confirm these encouraging intermediate outcomes.

“…This may reflect a certain fear of performing off-CPB operations in high-risk patients. From our point of view, this is not the case in two studies that we evaluated 13,14 , in which one can clearly see that high-risk patients are the ones who benefit most from off-pump surgery.…”

“…A key study published 14 by Goldstein et al evaluated 100 patients with an ejection fraction less than 30% who had undergone total myocardial revascularization. Each patient received, on average, 3.5 bypasses; the incidence of mediastinitis, chronic renal failure, cerebrovascular accident, myocardial infarction, and atrial fibrillation was lower than that observed by the STS database.…”

“…La mortalidad hospitalaria en las décadas de los años setenta y ochenta variaba alrededor del 10%, con cifras entre el 2,9% y el 39%, según la presencia o no de hipertensión pulmonar, insuficiencia cardíaca, arritmias ventriculares y estudios preoperatorios de viabilidad 60 . Las mejoras de las técnicas anestésicas y de monitorización, la protección miocárdica con cardioplejía y la cirugía coronaria sin CEC, así como el perfeccionamiento de las técnicas de cuantificación de la isquemia y viabilidad, ofrecen a los pacientes con evidencia de miocardio hibernado una mortalidad hospitalaria quirúrgica inferior al 3% 61,62 . En las regiones sin potencial para la recuperación funcional, ha sido descrita recientemente una adaptación menor con hipertrofia celular miocárdica menos pronunciada, una destrucción mayor de la arquitectura miocárdica y un grado mayor de expresión genética antiapoptosis.…”
