TO BE
DISCUSSED...
Coronary Anatomy
• Three zones of
perfusion.
Coronary blood flow
• Max coronary blood flow to
left ventricle is during
diastole
• Blood flow to right ventricle
is during systole and
diastole
• CPP=DBP-LVEDP
• Hence to optimize CBF:
◦ (SUBENDOCARDIUM)
• Mainatin DBP
• Hr 60-80m
• Lower LVEDP
CBF determinants
Myocardial oxygen demands
• Heart rate
• Wall tension (pre and
afterload)
• Contractility
Myocardial oxygen supply
• Heart rate (diastolic time)
• CPP(Lvedp and aortic diastolic
pressure)(subendocardium at
risk)
• Arterial oxygen content
(Hb*O2 sat*1.34 +
0.003*PaO2)
• Coronary artery diameter
Heart Innervation
• VAGUS.
• through acetylcholine
• reduces inotropy
• reduces chronotropy,
• reduces dromotrorpy
• SYMPATHETIC...
• Through NE
• cardioaccelerator fibers T1-4
• increases inotropy,
• Increases chronotropy,
• Increases dromotropy(beta
receptors)
Cardiac receptors are found in
atria,ventricles,pericardium and coronary arteries
Extra cardiac receptors in great vessels and
carotids These form loops between heart and cns
to regulate physiology
Response varies with age and duration of
disease
CARDIAC REFLEXES
• Baroreceptor reflex
• Chemoreceptor reflex
• Bain Bridge reflex
• Bezold Jarish rfelex
• Valsalva reflex
• Cushing reflex
• Occulocardiac reflex...
Systolic and diastolic dysfunction
• Systolic...diuretics,inotropes,pressors
• Diastolic..not relaxing well..chronic
hypertension..bb,acei
Coronary artery disease
• Atherosclerotic changes in
coronary blood vessels
leading to their narrowing
and limiting blood flow to
heart
• Presentation can be
variable from no
symptoms to myocardial
infarction or even sudden
death
• Treated by lifestyle
modifictaions,medication
and INTERVENTIONS
History of OPCAB
• AlexisCarell noting that
blood vessels can be
anastamosed......
• Use of CPB by Gibbon
• First OPCAB by Kolesov in
1964
• Use of RSVG by Favalaro and
Effler
• 1968 Green
anastamosed LIMA to
LAD
• .......newer stabiliser
devices....more
expertise...
• Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery was the
first intervention for coronary artery disease
associated with a survival benefit over medical
therapy in randomized trials
• the most common cardiac operation, with more
than 20 million procedures performed worldwide.
• CABG is particularly beneficial for patients with
complex
multivessel disease, left main disease, diabetes, and
left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Surgical intervention to CAD:
CABG
CABG:Coronary artery bypass grafting
• On pump : use of
CPB
• Off
pump:
◦ Sternotomy
◦ Minimal access.
(hemisternotomy or
thoracotomy)
◦ Total endoscopic
(SAFE AND COST EFFECTIVE)
• The future role of
CABG surgery will
depend on
continued
improvements in
technique, bypass
conduits, and
emerging evidence.
Why do Off – pump cabg?
Advantages
• Reduced SIRS response,
renal dysfunction, short-
term neurocognitive
dysfunction
• Reduced need for
transfusion, reoperation
for bleeding
• Reduced incidence of
atrial fibrillation
• Reduced need for
inotropes
• Shorter period of
postoperative ventilation
• Reduced intensive care unit
(ICU)
and hospital stay and cost
Disadvantages
• High skill and experience
• Compromise on graft due
to hemodynamic instability
(less exposure in mics)
• Device induced myocardial
damage
Contraindicated in:
• Intracardiac thrombus
• Malignant arrythmias
• Intramyocardial vessels
• Concomitant open heart
surgery

Intra-arterial pressure monitoring
• RADIAL
• FEMORAL...IABP
• Skill in insertion is a must...so is
interpretation!!
Pulmonary artery catheter
• Helps to assess volume status
perioperatively
• CCO and Svo2 can be used
• Hemodynamic data
• Detects myocardial ischemia...LVEDP
P A Catheter indications
• Post MI
• Low EF
• VSR
• LV aneurysm
• EMERGENCY SURGERY
• REDO SURGERY
• CABG+ VALVE
• Ischemic Mitral
regugitation
IABP
• Intra Aortic Balloon Pump
is used as a
mechanical circulatory
support device.
• Works by inflating a balloon
placed in descending aorta
during diastole,to
increaseCPP by increasing
DBP and rapidly deflates
in systole to reduce aferload
faced by LV, thus
improving CO
Our analysis suggests that preoperative
prophylactic implantation of an IABP is associated
with several beneficial outcomes in patients
undergoing CABG. These outcomes include a
reduction in hospital mortality, shortened ICU
hospitalization time, and a decrease in the
incidence of LCOS% and MACCE%. However,
preoperative IABP has little effect on renal
dysfunction, the need for ventilation support for 24
h or
more, and bleeding events.
ESCEACTS Guideline
considers it class iia ,level C
recommendation for
patients with mechanical
complications papillary
muscle rupture with severe
mr,vsd,free wall rupture
IABP?
TransEsophageal Echocardiography
• Closer to the
heart..
• 3D
• Tissue doppler
• Strain pattern
• Speckle tracking....
INFORMATION:
• New RWMA(earlier than ecg
ischemia is detected)
• Decrease in systolic wall thickening
• Acute MR
• Assess preload
• IABP Positioning

OPCAB = Hemodynamic compromises
• Blood loss
• IVC or ventricular
compression,
• Mechanical compression
• Electrolyte disturbances
leading to arrythmias
• Resistant bradycardia may
need epicardial pacing
• Verticalisation of heart or
intra- op
MI leading to severe MR....
Intraop events
• Sternotomy...watch vitals,/bradycardia,hypertensive
response
• Conduit harvesting...heparin for evh,calcium channel for
radial..

Anticoagulation
• Heparin 100 Units per Kg body

• TARGET ACT 250-300s
During graftinganastamosis
• LAD..easier to position....if
calcified,shunt insertion is
difficult
• OM...head low and rt tilt may
cause incresed filling of
heart,pa and rvot
compression ...opening right
pleura helps...high ramus
difficult to position
RCA...verticalisation...bradycardia,
h ypotension..atropine,
pacing,pressors
• For grafting (RCA) and
circumflex (CFX), the posterior
and lateral walls, respectively,
must be exposed. To achieve
this, the heart is lifted with a
surgical spongemop and then
angled up vertically with the
atria at the base.
• Blood must flow uphill and
thus a
significant increase in
atrial pressures is
observed, with inevitable
impairment of ventricular
filling.
• Stabilisers are placed at the
site of grafting on the
epicardial vessel.
Intraop management

pressure of sponge or

anastamosis

    Our analysis suggeststhat preoperative prophylactic implantation of an IABP is associated with several beneficial outcomes in patients undergoing CABG. These outcomes include a reduction in hospital mortality, shortened ICU hospitalization time, and a decrease in the incidence of LCOS% and MACCE%. However, preoperative IABP has little effect on renal dysfunction, the need for ventilation support for 24 h or more, and bleeding events. ESCEACTS Guideline considers it class iia ,level C recommendation for patients with mechanical complications papillary muscle rupture with severe mr,vsd,free wall rupture IABP?

    • For grafting(RCA) and circumflex (CFX), the posterior and lateral walls, respectively, must be exposed. To achieve this, the heart is lifted with a surgical spongemop and then angled up vertically with the atria at the base. • Blood must flow uphill and thus a significant increase in atrial pressures is observed, with inevitable impairment of ventricular filling. • Stabilisers are placed at the site of grafting on the epicardial vessel.
