Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Robotic assistance allows completely endoscopic coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery.
  • Diffuse coronary artery disease presents a technical challenge for minimally invasive CABG.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of coronary endarterectomy during robotic totally endoscopic CABG.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of this technique for diffuse disease.

Main Methods:

  • A two-vessel totally endoscopic CABG was performed on a patient with diffuse left coronary artery disease.
  • Robotic harvesting of bilateral internal mammary arteries (IMAs) using a skeletonized technique.
  • Coronary endarterectomy of the left anterior descending artery followed by IMA anastomosis.

Main Results:

  • The patient underwent successful coronary endarterectomy and anastomosis of the left anterior descending artery with the right IMA.
  • The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on postoperative day 6.
  • Demonstrated feasibility of local coronary endarterectomy in this setting.

Conclusions:

  • Coronary endarterectomy is a viable option for managing diffusely diseased coronary arteries during robotic totally endoscopic CABG.
  • This technique broadens the application of minimally invasive surgery for complex coronary artery disease.
  • Challenges posed by diffuse coronary artery disease can be overcome with advanced surgical techniques.
