Beating heart surgery using a new stabilizer is safe and effective for coronary artery disease, including left main stenosis. This hybrid approach combines bypass grafting with angioplasty for selected patients.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Investigated outcomes of 45 patients with coronary artery disease undergoing beating heart operations.
  • Utilized a novel stabilizing device for cardiac procedures.
  • Focused on patients with one- to three-vessel coronary artery disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of beating heart surgery.
  • To assess the outcomes of a hybrid revascularization approach.
  • To compare this technique with conventional coronary artery bypass grafting.

Main Methods:

  • Performed Left Internal Mammary Artery-to-Left Anterior Descending (LIMA-to-LAD) revascularization.
  • Executed LIMA-to-LAD alone in 31 patients.

  • Conducted hybrid procedures (LIMA-to-LAD + angioplasty/stenting) in 14 patients.

    • Main Results:

    • All 45 patients had successful LIMA-to-LAD procedures with no intraoperative complications.
    • Hybrid procedures successfully treated 19 stenoses, including 3 left main stenoses.
    • Postoperative courses were uneventful; no decline in renal, neurologic, or respiratory function was observed.
    • Angiograms confirmed patent LIMA grafts and anastomoses in early and 12-month follow-ups.

    Conclusions:

    • Beating heart surgery with hybrid revascularization is safe and effective for selected patients.
    • This approach is beneficial for patients with coronary artery disease, including left main stenosis.
    • The technique offers advantages over conventional coronary artery bypass grafting, especially in patients with complex disease.
