Coronary artery surgery without global ischemia.

D C Mullen, D Lepley, R J Flemma

    The Annals of Thoracic Surgery
    |July 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel internal coronary artery occluder allows for local occlusion during coronary bypass surgery without aortic cross-clamping. This technique enhances myocardial protection in cardiac procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Medical Devices
    • Myocardial Protection

    Background:

    • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a common surgical procedure.
    • Myocardial protection is crucial during CABG to prevent ischemic damage.
    • Current methods may involve aortic cross-clamping, which carries risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a new technique for local coronary artery occlusion.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of an internal coronary artery occluder.
    • To improve myocardial protection during distal anastomosis in CABG.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel internal coronary artery occluder.
    • Application of the occluder for local coronary artery isolation.
    • Performing distal anastomosis without aortic cross-clamping.

    Main Results:

    • Successful local occlusion of the coronary artery was achieved.
    • The technique was performed without the need for aortic cross-clamping.
    • The developed occluder facilitated the surgical procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • The internal coronary artery occluder provides a simple and effective method for local occlusion.
    • This technique represents an advancement in myocardial protection strategies during CABG.
    • The method offers a potential alternative to traditional aortic cross-clamping.
